🎤 @ruwaromman.bsky.social: "In 2023, our governor line item vetoed $6 million for breakfast and lunch for kids - part of his move for fiscal responsibility. 4 months later, he bought $10 million worth of Israeli bonds and then 7 months later, got a million dollars into his pac from Miriam Adelson."

Did fmr senior Biden Gaza advisor Jon Finer already have a job with this pro-Trump, Peter Thiel-allied, self-described "radical Zionist" defense/DHS contractor when he penned these heartfelt op-eds about Gaza and the dangers of Trump? The last one came out just a month ago.

The same active-duty former Ranger battalion commander has a new post about how anonymity and dressing for intimidation "dehumanized us in the eyes of the Iraqi people—and vice versa." "It seems like there are things to learn here beyond platoon level lessons from the counterinsurgency in Iraq."

DOD funding (that your members of Congress likely rubber-stamped) helps train & equip these units. Here's Army special forces (right) training an agent (left) from the CBP unit involved in the murder of Alex Pretti on an 81mm mortar (fires shells killing anyone in a 115 ft radius).

On local news in Southern CO discussing WWW's response to reports that troops from the 4th Infantry Division at Ft. Carson, CO, received orders to prepare to deploy to Minneapolis to support ICE.

American soldiers did not sign up to join ICE’s murderous rampage through Minneapolis. Our latest billboard near Ft. Bragg, where troops are on standby to deploy to Minnesota, shows them who to talk to if they are worried about being implicated in ICE’s crimes.

It was true last year when we brought experts together to simulate what would happen if the US bombed Mexico, and it's true today: airstrikes in Mexico would be a dangerous boondoggle, hurting people on both sides of the border. www.winwithoutwaredfund.org/policy/simul...

This is a BFD! The Senate just voted 52-47 to advance the war powers resolution on #Venezuela! Five Republicans joined all the Democrats in sending a massive rebuke to Trump's mad king warmaking. This isn't the end of the line, but it's a really big deal and massive defeat for Trump.

New thread on why Rubio can't just tell Venezuela what to do and expect results. Here's a link to the whole thread on one page, via @skywriter.blue: skywriter.blue/pages/did:pl...

No one wants the foolish, dangerous, illegal war with Venezuela that Trump keeps seeking. Our statement on the confirmed reports of a CIA drone strike on Venezuelan soil:

Our NotWhatYouSignedUpFor.org campaign — which connects troops to resources for responding to unlawful orders — has returned to Ft. Bragg, this time to reach the headquarters of Joint Special Operations Command, which carried out the infamous “double tap” boat strikes in September.

Today, Trump again tried to exploit the overdose crisis to grow his own power. Declaring fentanyl a "weapon of mass destruction" is simply an excuse to do more violence while continuing to fail fentanyl victims. No one needs another round of WMD lies from the Oval Office. Our statement:

Our new round of billboards are up, with a clear message: a murder that the president orders is still a murder. NotWhatISignedUpFor.org can connect servicemembers with resources to help them understand their choices in the face of patently illegal orders.

Yesterday’s vote should not be mistaken for an end to the genocide or an excuse for U.S. officials and lawmakers to turn their backs on Gaza. Right now, the Israeli government is continuing its deadly strikes, while continuing to deprive Gaza of live-saving food, medicine, and shelter

We found that U.S. strikes would have a profoundly destabilizing effect in Mexico and the U.S., while failing to reduce the amount of dangerous drugs reaching our communities.

Billboards outside US Southern Command urge troops not to ‘break the law’ in Caribbean strikes trib.al/6d2ADCI

Today, we’re expanding our NotWhatYouSignedUpFor.org campaign — which connects service members to resources for responding to unlawful and immoral orders — to two major active duty military installations: Fort Bragg and Camp Lejeune.

Trump is turning a “show of force” into policy - blurring the lines between the military and law enforcement. Democrats should push back before it’s too late, @mattduss.bsky.social and @harrisonmann.bsky.social write in @foreignpolicy.com foreignpolicy.com/2025/09/08/t...

Here’s how stupid former Secretary of State Antony Blinken thinks you are: Watch him tell Amanpour that the war could have ended if pro-Palestinian protestors had just called for Hamas to disarm and release the hostages.

Check on your hometown. I recently spoke with a group of Georgia elected officials who were surprised to learn their state had loaned $25 million to Israel, including $10 million Governor Kemp committed after Israel began carpet bombing Gaza post-October 7.

Gillibrand apologizes to Mamdani over ‘jihad’ comments - POLITICO So I am glad Gillibrand apologized but she should really do so publicly, not privately, given her smear against him was done publicly, on live radio in fact.

Our ED, @shaghdoosti.bsky.social, on why members of Congress should stop their dangerous bigotry against Zohran Mamdani and focus on protecting their constituents from real threats -- like the bill they're currently considering that would strip health insurance from millions and supercharge ICE.

“US allies in the Middle East are also coming to the realization that the United States may not be willing or able to protect them if they land in Israel’s sights.” @harrisonmann.bsky.social writes how Trump’s 12-day war in Iran has further endangered the Middle East, as well as the United States.

Between this and his bullying of the Israeli judiciary on Netanyahu’s behalf, Trump has doubled down as an exporter of violent autocracy.

Not so tacit anymore

ICYMI: @harrisonmann.bsky.social told @deanobeidallah.bsky.social that one of Israel's goal with a war with Iran was to cause an regime collapse with the help of the Unites States.

Trump using his leverage to choose Israel’s ruler (like Biden did in Lebanon last year). The tacit threat here is that Trump could reduce military support if Israel’s judiciary prosecutes Netanyahu. I wonder if this statement was one of Netanyahu’s conditions for a ceasefire with Iran.

Sara Haghdoosti: Let me put this as clearly as I can, Donald Trump's reckless and illegal strikes over the weekend has made us less safe. The last few days have been terrifying but they've also been helpful. Why? Because the anti-war majority did show up. @winwithoutwar.bsky.social

Our statement on the urgent need for de-escalation in the Middle East:

People across the country agree: No War with Iran

"No matter who knew what, and whether Trump explicitly gave Netanyahu a “green light” for the strikes, the United States literally fuels the Israeli war machine." @harrisonmann.bsky.social on Israel's attack on Iran.

Former Army intelligence officer @harrisonmann.bsky.social, who resigned over Gaza, shares seven lies that Trump and Netanyahu are telling about Iran. Read: zeteo.com/p/seven-lies...

I wish @schumer.senate.gov had considered the very real risk of collective blame BEFORE he spent 19 months breathlessly equating American Jews with a genocidal foreign state.

“Mr. President, we’ve got to feed those people.” Thank you Sen. Peter Welch @welch.senate.gov‬ for demanding the Trump administration end the Israeli blockade that threatens to starve 14,000 children to death.

Sen. Welch @welch.senate.gov quoting a Palestinian in Gaza on the nightmare Trump and Netanyahu’s blockade has created: “Believe it or not, people no longer care about bombs, rockets, or even death. What consumes them now is food: How to find it, how to feed their children.”

Happening NOW: @welch.senate.gov is on the floor to demand the Senate pass his resolution calling on the Trump Admin. to use all diplomatic tools at its disposal to end to the blockade on Gaza. Tune in 👇 www.c-span.org/congress/?ch...

Bombing Mexico is still on Trump's agenda, and it's still a horrible idea. Our @harrisonmann.bsky.social has a piece in @foreignpolicy.com today reporting on the results of a tabletop exercise he ran where experts simulated just how bad Trump's plan could turn out. foreignpolicy.com/2025/05/16/u...

My first in @foreignpolicy.com: I ran a wargame to find out what would happen if Trump ordered strikes on Mexican cartels. In short: Strikes were deeply destabilizing for Mexico while doing little to temper the demand at the heart of the US overdose crisis. foreignpolicy.com/2025/05/16/u...

"There is a close overlap between the elected officials who fought the Biden administration's bloody Israel policy and the members now trying in earnest to push back against the Trump administration's authoritarian overreach." @harrisonmann.bsky.social

Trump's first 100 days have been a chaotic and relentless assault on governing institutions and American democracy itself. Our new roundtable of DAWN fellows @naderhashemi.bsky.social @seanyom.bsky.social @yara-asi.bsky.social @harrisonmann.bsky.social and more: dawnmena.org/the-dangers-...

GAO coming out and saying what everyone with eyes to see already knew: the NSM-20 process for Israel was total bullshit, and the Biden administration lied to Congress to continue shipping arms to Netanyahu.

Sen Van Hollen is meeting the moment with courage and leadership, demonstrating that elected officials still have power to stand up to creeping authoritarianism. You should demand the same courage and leadership from your own representatives. bsky.app/profile/vanh...

I applaud @booker.senate.gov for embracing morality. He has the unique opportunity to immediately live his values and silence skeptics when he votes tonorrow on @sanders.senate.gov ‘s joint resolutions to block sales of bombs to Israel that have killed hundreds of children just last month.

2 weeks after I wrote @harvard.edu shouldn’t reputation launder the “Kissinger knock-offs” responsible for atrocities in Gaza, Harvard ups the ante and names Jake Sullivan as inaugural “Henry A. Kissinger Professor of Statecraft and World Order.”

I organized this exercise. TLDR: Drone striking cartels isn’t a great idea unless you want to spread cartel violence, push fentanyl production into new communities in 🇲🇽 AND 🇺🇸, make the trade war even more painful here, and see what happens if 🇲🇽 lets 100Ks of migrants up to the 🇺🇸 border.

On Thursday, @JoaquinCastroTX.bsky.social @ChuyGarcia.house.gov & @Velazquez.house.gov led a resolution reaffirming that Congress opposes calls for U.S. military action in Mexico. winwithoutwar.org/win-without-... 🧵

I had “fun” plotting hellfire and damnation against the Trump White House in yesterday’s exercise. Thanks to @harrisonmann.bsky.social and @winwithoutwar.bsky.social for organizing an incredible event! As the Onion famously declared “Drugs win drug war.”
