Our criminal President brags about our idiotic military spending.

The military industrial complex poses as great a threat to our Republic as the kleptocrat in the White House, or the disturbing deference of corporate Democrats to authoritarianism.

#NoWar
The threat to our rights transcends the White House. Corporate Democrats have been demonstrably complicit in militarism and the rise of authoritarianism.

@SpeakerPelosi, in particular, paved Trump's road to war by blocking congressional attempts to restrain him.
.@SpeakerPelosi's foreign policy vision is both incoherent & indefensible.

Why?

It's the defense of U.S. "interests" that costs U.S. lives.

And whose interests has our military industrial complex been promoting, anyway?

#NoWarWithIran #ShahidVsPelosi
I come from a military family. I know why military families favor @BernieSanders.

It's because he values peace.

We reject the foolish militarism that has long united corporate Democrats and Republicans.

History is crucial to understand the present. #NoWar

Even before assasinating Soleimani, the U.S. already had a 65-year history of undermining democracy & human rights in Iran. In 1953, a CIA coup toppled a democracy to seize nationalized oil & gas fields.

What came next?
We in the U.S. have been paying a domestic price for the international abuses of our military industrial complex for over half a century.

U.S. foreign policy in Iran played a key role in expanding mass incarceration and driving police militarization. #intersectionality #NoWar
