Need to put the date on this early Sunday morning protest artwork so when it's found among the detritus of my life decades hence, it will be clear which war it's about. Sigh. #NoWarWithIran #letgazalive

Over 100 days after Mahmoud Khalil was unjustly arrested and detained because of his advocacy for Palestinian rights, he has been released on bail. We celebrate that Mahmoud will finally be home with his wife and newborn son while his case proceeds.

Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

#Alabama had 14 #NoKings protests yesterday and #Montgomery started the day-long protests with 400+ joining together for democracy, due process, equity, and ensuring our rights. State motto is We Dare Defend Our Rights and we intend to do just that.

Holy shit. The Regime in the WH is readying to imprison or kill us all. They're attacking farm workers and dishwashers and gardners and protestors and now a US Senator.

"more than 16,500 children have been killed in the 19 months since the *war* began … a figure almost 24 times higher than the number of children killed in Ukraine, where the population is 20 times bigger, since Russia’s invasion." www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...

Unbelievably horrified by this attack in Boulder. We don’t know the full story of the attacker, but no matter what it is, let me be clear: Senseless, antisemitic attacks do not help Palestinians, Jews, or Israelis. Committing terror attacks against people standing for hostages is disgusting.
