📣📣📣In 2015, 30 women peacemakers crossed the DMZ from North to South Korea. This is documented in a film “Crossings” which will air on PBS on Sunday July 23! It’s a deeply moving film by Emmy-award winning filmmaker Deann Borshay Liem. worldchannel.org/episode/doc-wo… @WomenCrossDMZ

More than 60 young girls were killed in this US-Israeli strike on a girls' school in Iran today. The reason this may prove decisive is that it happened on the first day of the war. If this were the 5th week of this war of aggression, statistically, a strike of this kind would eventually happen. But when it happens on the first day, it likely dispels any fantasies that this is a war of "liberation" and that the civilian population will be spared, rendering the kind of public rise against the Iranian theocracy less likely.

Trump has launched an illegal regime change war in Iran with American lives at risk. Congress must convene on Monday to vote on @RepThomasMassie & my WPR to stop this. Every member of Congress should go on record this weekend on how they will vote.

JUST IN: A moment of disgrace for America on the world stage. U.S. Ambassador Mike Waltz hurls a barrage misinformation about Cuba and gets cut off: “This is the UN General Assembly, not a Signal chat.”

Let me be clear: We will not let what the Trump Administration be the new normal. We will stand proudly for our values and fight for all Angelenos.

My statement on the Trump administration's illegal military actions and the wars that must end.

As our nation girds for possible Iranian terrorist attacks, this is the person Trump put in charge of terrorism prevention. 22 years old. Recent work experience: landscaping/grocery clerk. Never worked a day in counter-terrorism. But he’s a BIG Trump fan. So he got the job.

Terrific context and analysis by @tparsi on @zeteo_news on the US war on Iran.

The President’s disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers. He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.

NO MORE WAR! It’s time for Americans across political lines to call for an end to this insanity. This is NOT making the US safer but just putting all of us at risk.

Trump launching us into war with Iran is a flagrant abuse of power and an impeachable offense. The Framers were clear with the War Powers Clause: only Congress could take the nation into war. He must be impeached and removed from office. @FSFP impeachtrumpagain.org

This is not Constitutional.

Read this: NO federal science happens anymore without approval of Elon's DOGE kiddies, 23-year-old crypto bros as overconfident as he was. Your tax dollars, our science heritage, are run by mini-mes of the man who just blew up a Starship on the ground. 4/ techdirt.com/2025/06/02/a-2…

BREAKING: Trump’s VA just gave doctors the green light to refuse treatment to veterans who are Democrats or unmarried. Yes—you read that right. Serve your country, risk your life, and when you come home, your care depends on your politics and marital status.

At least 38 million people have been displaced by the U.S. post-9/11 wars. That is more than those displaced by any war or disaster since the start of the 20th century, except for World War II. [1/3]

NEW: The first U.S. bishop appointed by Pope Leo XIV—a refugee himself—is mobilizing priests to accompany migrants at immigration court on June 20. This is the kind of leadership Leo’s picking.

If that’s what they do to a United States Senator with a question, imagine what they can do to any American that dares to speak up. We will hold this administration accountable.

BREAKING: California Democratic Senator @AlexPadilla4CA just crashed DHS Secretary Noem’s press conference in LA and was forcibly removed.

NEW: The Trump administration deploying tanks and troops from LA to DC is a wake up call. The U.S. public can no longer afford to ignore the lethal consequences of militarism on our democracy. IPS scholar @christineahn and Leslie Cagan in @commondreams: commondreams.org/opinion/fascis…
