What is the U.S. blockade doing to the people of Cuba? Join me on May 8 at 9PM ET to break it down and what we can do about it. 🔗 codepink.org/508cuba

A Marine veteran is on top of a bridge three days and counting, risking everything to say what millions feel. Guido climbed that arch because silence is not an option. We’re here to support him. To stand witness. To say clearly: we do not want another war.

Hartzell Gray is running for Congress in Missouri’s 4th District on a platform of love, liberation, and putting people over the war machine. “America First” shouldn’t mean war abroad and neglect at home. It should mean housing, healthcare, wages, and dignity for everyone. No more funding bombs while communities are left behind.

@codepink Thrilled that we just talked to Guido up on the bridge. He is still up there and might stay for another day!

Guido Reichstadter, a Marine veteran and a father, was so outraged at the US bombing of the girls school in Iran that he risked his life, scaling the 168-foot arch on the DC Frederick Douglass bridge. He has been camped out there since Friday. Join us tomorrow, Monday, between 1-3pm, to show support for this heroic act of civil disobedience.

A veteran is on the bridge, risking his life to demand an end to U.S. wars. We will be on the South side of the Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge standing with him today May, 4th between 1 and 3PM ET If you’re in DC, come. Show up.

@wolflovesmelon Hoping you have survived another night. We are coming to send our love and solidarity 1-3pm. Call us if you can.

Hi my name is Guido Reichstadter & I'm currently occupying the top of the Frederick Douglass memorial bridge in Washington DC. I'm calling on the people of the United States to bring an immediate end to the Trump regime's illegal war on Iran and the removal of the regime power through mass nonviolent direct action and non-cooperation. I also want to urgently warn the people of the US and the world of the imminent danger we are in of crossing a point of no return towards the development of artificial intelligence which poses the risk of catastrophic harm to humanity, including human extinction. I call on the governments of the world to take immediate action to end this danger by permanently banning the development of artificial general intelligence and machine super intelligence. I also call on the people of the world to exert all possible influence through nonviolent action to compel their governments to end this danger with all possible speed.

@Danblue193 Does that mean you want to see the US bomb Iranians?

@medeabenjamin Medea has not criticized the Iran regime once for murdering thousands of Iranian civilians since January. x.com/AlinejadMasih/…

Guido is a hero. Join us tomorrow, Monday 1-3 P.M. on the Anacostia side of the bridge in Washington DC to show support for him and to call for an end to the Iran war.

@wolflovesmelon Hero!!!! We are here on bridge before cheering him on

@moymiz Let’s try dumping the sanctions and naval blockade

@medeabenjamin You know what would make humanitarian aid not necessary in Cuba? Dumping the leftist dictatorship.

We’re heading to Holguín, Cuba on May 16. There are 8 spots left to join this solidarity delegation bringing humanitarian aid and connecting directly with communities across eastern Cuba. We’ll visit hospitals, schools, a soup kitchen, and farms, learning firsthand how people are building and sustaining life under blockade. If you’ve been thinking about going to Cuba, this is your moment. codepink.org/holguin26

If 41 Jews were killed in 24hrs, it would be called the nth worst antisemitic massacre since the holocaust. When 41 Lebanese are killed by Israel in 24hrs, it’s called a ceasefire.

Trump and Marco Rubio are so obsessed with making Cubans suffer that they have announced even more sanctions on the ridiculous pretext that Cuba is a threat to US national security. This order threatens to sanction any company, anywhere, doing business with Cuba. It is barbaric. whitehouse.gov/presidential-a…

This is the best Iran lego video yet! We Share the Same Pain. @ExplosiveMediaa is amazing. facebook.com/watch/?v=13067…

@phuck_hsu @democracynow Yes I did a masters in political economy. I loved it. The New School was very radical in those days and very exciting intellectually. 1974-1975.

@medeabenjamin @democracynow Miss Medea: Did you go to The New School? I instantly saw ur name on our welcome packet and was astonished. What was your major? Did you enjoy your experience? Sorry… I’m a fan 😘

I just saw the great film Steal This Story, Please about the incomparable journalist Amy Goodman of @DemocracyNow. Go see it when it comes to a theatre near you. ❤️
