The US currently spends $2,000,000 a minute on death machines, bombs, and war. Meanwhile, nearly 50 million Americans are at risk of going hungry. How does Congress respond? Their new budget increases the Pentagon budget and slashes SNAP benefits. Here's my latest oped w/

Our friends at Britain Yearly Meeting have joined AFSC and many Quaker groups in recognizing that the Israeli gov't is committing genocide in Gaza. People of all faiths from across the world are calling for an end to the genocide and #CeasefireNow quaker.org.uk/news-and-event…

$1 TRILLION for weapons—while slashing peacekeeping, aid & global health budgets. Why are we investing in more violence instead of peace and security? Brilliant analysis by AFSC experts on Washington’s war-first priorities. A must-read: inkstickmedia.com/washingtons-1-… #DefundWar

The National Guard LA deployment over Governor Newsom’s objections & the targeting of ICE raid protests is a dangerous overreach that risks violence & sets a terrifying precedent. AFSC 's statement spells out why we must resist. afsc.org/newsroom/afsc-… #defendImmigrants

As jets swarm Iran, Israel still spares planes to bomb Gaza. This morning, more children burned alive. More heart wrenching and cruel images than anything out of Tel Aviv or Tehran—yet so normalized, it barely stirs the world.

Please join us and make your voice heard. We need to be louder. Congress must stop this madness. afsc.org/action/tell-co…. #StopWarOnIran

Tonight the U.S. bombed three nuclear energy facilities in Iran. This unprovoked attack is an illegal act of aggression and a violation of both international and U.S. law: afsc.org/newsroom/us-bo… #NoWarOnIran

Mamdani’s victory in the most Jewish city in America — despite a relentless smear campaign by militant Zionists — is a clear referendum on the lie that criticizing Israel equals antisemitism. New Yorkers rejected the antisemitic notion that opposing genocide is the same as

After watching Mamdani v Cuomo, any smart Democrat thinking about running for president in 2028 should recognize that taking the Biden line on Israel is a political disaster.

It is projected that from April to September 2025, 244,000 people in Gaza, about 12% of the population, will face catastrophic hunger, due to extreme lack of food. That means death by starvation is no longer a risk. It is a reality. afsc.org/news/gaza-star…
