ā€œDON’T DRAG US INTO ANOTHER ENDLESS WAR!ā€ Just now at Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s hearing in Congress, CODEPINK’s Medea Benjamin & Olivia DiNucci spoke out against the US-Israeli war on Iran. We refuse to platform war criminals. We reject trillion-dollar Pentagon budgets. We

Members of Congress like Sen. Cramer are making things up to justify their support for the US-Israeli war on Iran. Iran did not provoke these attacks — Israel started bombing first. Iran did not break the nuclear deal — the US did. Iran isn’t hiding nuclear weapons — Israel is.

When asked if she supported Senator Tim Kaine’s War Powers Resolution to stop a war with Iran, we expected Senator Duckworth to just say ā€œyesā€, as this is what most Democratic senators are doing. Instead, she ignored the question, then accused us of being ā€œa group supported by

We confronted Senator Roger Wicker with a simple message: the American people don’t want another endless war. Iraq was a disaster. Afghanistan, a disaster. Libya, a disaster. There are 90 million people in Iran. Don’t escalate. Don’t justify more violence! Senator Wicker has the

You are the world’ most dangerous regime and you already have the world’s most dangerous weapon, but nobody talks about that.

Netanyahu is incensed that Iran hit an Israeli hospital. The hospital had been evacuated so no one was hurt and Iran said it was a mistake. But Israel bombs hospitals in Gaza every week--not by mistake, and has killed hundreds of civilians in Iran. bbc.com/news/articles/…

Former IAEA chief makes it clear that Israeli bombing of Iran nuclear facilities is illegal under international law. Why hasn't present IAEA chief Grossi said this?

On Juneteenth, we honor Black liberation and remember that none of us are free until all of us are free. Today, we march not just for Black freedom, but for all oppressed peoples. As Nelson Mandela said: ā€œOur freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians.ā€

Trump could launch a war with Iran any day now. He says he’ll decide within two weeks. But let’s be real, the war’s already in motion, and Israel’s unprovoked attacks are making it worse. We can’t stay silent. Call the White House: 202-456-1111 (Mon–Thurs, 10am–3pm) Call your

You are a sick man who wants to see endless war in the Middle East on behalf of genocidal Israel. You are šŸ’Æ israel first. Un-American

Taqi Spateen is an incredible muralist from Bethlehem. For our Feminist Fridays, he unveiled his newest mural ā€˜The Kiss’ in Washington D.C. which expresses the steadfastness of Palestinian people, generation after generation.

My favorite quote of the day from a person on the right. Candace Owens: No pastor should be standing before you telling you it’s your biblical duty to support overseas ā€œchosenā€ murderers in order to receive God’s blessings.

Even as Democratic party "leaders" promote ā€œresistanceā€ to Trump, they tacitly, and sometimes openly, support Trump's march to war with Iran. Israel firsters. Sarah Lazare, Adam Johnson theintercept.com/2025/06/19/dem…

BREAKING: Trump just bombed Iran, against the wishes of the MAJORITY of Americans. Trump puts Israel first, jeapordizing US national security. Another Middle East war for the "peace president." truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTru…

You're such a tough guy Derrick Van Orden, but how did your regime change in Iraq and Afghanistan work out for you??? The US has NO BUSINESS intervening in Iran!!!

Trump just dragged the U.S. into a war with Iran, no Congress, no UN, no legality. Just bombs, on behalf of Israel. This is Iraq all over again. Illegal. Immoral. Destabilizing. We demand: Stop ALL military intervention in Iran End U.S. support for Israel’s attacks Return to

Are you kidding? It's the US that has waged war against Iran--from overthrowing their government in 1953 to imposing cruel sanctions for decades. Getting involved in Israel's war on Iran is NOT in our national interest. It is NOT "America First."

And to think that Van Jones was once an anti-war progressive!!! WTF? Iran is not a "normal country"? Is Israel? Is Saudi Arabia? Is Egypt? Pakistan? India? If you don't like a country, you can bomb it?

Outside the Washington Post We’re here to call out the pro-Israel bias in mainstream media and say NO to another war based on lies. A new poll shows most Americans don’t want military strikes on Iran, imagine the numbers if they called it what it is: Israel’s unprovoked war. We
