Thank you @AbbyMartin for highlighting yet another example of military pollution. From Hawaii to Guam to Okinawa, US military occupations poison so many communities throughout the Pacific. It needs to end.
Don't allow our government to further militarize and poison the Pacific. Tell your representative to remove the $10 BILLION for war on China in the USICA. #NoWarOnChina @chinanotenemy codepink.org/usica
You can take further action. Get involved in our #WarIsNotGreen campaign against military pollution! codepink.org/wing

What's more degrading than being forced to demolish your own home or else pay your oppressors to do it for you? That's the decision Palestinians in #Silwan have been forced to make. Today, those who couldn't bear to demolish their home will watch as Israel demolishes it for them.
Approximately 1,500 Palestinians, including an estimated 930 children, in Silwan face violent forced displacement by Israeli authorities. Many of the dispossessed Palestinian families have lived in their Silwan homes for generations. #SaveSilwan
The US and much of the world remain silent as Israel *illegally* demolishes Palestinian homes and ruins Palestinian lives to make way for a religious theme park.

This is ethnic cleansing– plain and simple. And it must END. #FreePalestine

"Moderate" Democrats who don't think spending $753 billion on the Pentagon budget is enough also happened to...

💰Take an avg. of $50K from military contractors last election cycle.

Let's put @POTUS $753,000,000,000 Pentagon budget request into some historical context for these representatives:

We're spending more on the Pentagon budget now than peak spending for the Korean War, the Vietnam War and the Reagan buildup
This is why we joined 39 other groups earlier this year to demand that withdrawing from Afghanistan should mean a significant reduction in Pentagon spending

There’s no #Pride in war profiteering! @HRC recently lauded weapons manufacturer @RaytheonTech for its commitment to “ensuring equal rights” for LGBTQ+ employees. While advocating for equal rights is great, using LGBTQ+ rights to pinkwash US crimes of war is not. 🧵
As then 2nd-largest weapons maker in the US, Raytheon supplies weapons to the Saudi-led coalition to use in the brutal war on Yemen. Despite its complicity in the "world's worst humanitarian crisis," Raytheon has gone to great lengths to ensure they continue to turn a profit 😠
I don't know about you, but a corporation that makes its money off the murder of innocent Yemenis should not be celebrated for anything– let alone its so-called “corporate social responsibility efforts.”

On this day six years ago, the Saudi-led coalition launched its assault on the Yemeni people. The past six years have been years of loss, hardship, famine, & heartbreak. 💔 Today we remember Yemen & renew our dedication to ending US-backed war crimes. #YemenCantWait
Foreign intervention in Yemen started as a resume builder for the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), who is now the de facto leader of the Kingdom.

MBS thought this war would last a couple weeks at most. Now thousands of Yemeni are dead, and millions are starving.
From the beginning of the war until now, Saudi Arabia has enjoyed support from the United States, the UK, Canada, & other Western countries. Despite ending “offensive” support for the war, the US CONTINUES to aid Saudi Arabia in its brutal assault on Yemen.oneclickpolitics.global.ssl.fastly.net/messages/edit?…

"The Biden presidency is still in its early days, but it’s not too early to point to areas in the foreign policy realm where we, as progressives, have been disappointed– or even infuriated."

Let's count the ways, shall we? @medeabenjamin @NicolasJSDavies

1⃣ Biden has failed to quickly rejoin the Iran Nuclear Deal, something he could– and should– have done his first day in the White House.

What happened to all those promises of "diplomacy," @JoeBiden? #PeaceWithIran bit.ly/Peace-Iran
2⃣ Biden is following in the footsteps of warmongers by continuing attacks on Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, and Syria.

A little tip for @JoeBiden: you can't bomb for peace. codepink.org/peacewithsyria

Today and every day, we recognize and honor female political prisoners across the globe, who've given their freedom in the name of truth and justice. #FreeTheWomen #LibresLasQueremos @feministforpol
Palestinian activist & lawmaker Khalida Jarrar has been under Israeli administrative detention since Oct 2019.

There are no charges against her. There has been no trial.

Join us in solidarity with Jarrar & all political prisoners. #FreeTheWomen codepink.org/freekhalidajar…
Can you imagine facing 20 years in prison for advocating for women’s rights?

That’s what’s happened to Saudi activist Sama Badawi, who's been imprisoned by the Saudi regime since 2018. We stand in solidarity with women political prisoners today & every day. #FreeTheWomen
