This isn’t just a morning routine. It’s a daily practice in staying human when war, greed, and propaganda try to numb us. At CODEPINK, we show up with love, with courage (and with banana peel facials) against genocide, against U.S. weapons, and for Gaza.

Labor had made Australia complicit in Israel’s genocide in Gaza, and in the US and Israel’s illegal war in Iran. It’s bullshit. We cannot continue this way, we must stand for peace and against war. #nowar

We visited Rashida’s office to express our love and appreciation for her courage and bravery in standing up for justice in a room filled with evil, hate, and greed.

Less than a week before the Israeli government started the war with Iran, I spoke at a massive protest against the genocide in Gaza that the Italian opposition parties held in Rome. In front of 300,000 people in Rome, I called for the end of the genocide and war and for European governments to stop supporting Netanyahu as he continues to disregard international law and risk all of the region. Even after the expansion of the war and cycle of bloodshed by the war criminal Netanyahu, the same message still holds. Together, we will continue to fight against the genocide in Gaza that doesn't stop because of the war with Iran, against the regional war that is risking all of us and against the fascists all around the world, until we win!

Palantir = Surveillance + Genocide Today, anti-war and climate activists with CODEPINK, @notechforapartheid, & @extinctionrebelliondc were kicked out of an AI expo presentation with Palantir and the head of the Navy. Palantir enables Israel's genocide in Gaza and has just launched new plans with Trump to ramp up surveillance of Americans. This is not innovation. We demand technology that serves the people and planet, not the war machine!

Netanyahu is in DC for a record SIXTH visit to the US in just over a year, and he's already bragging about meeting with Trump to deliver marching orders for the next phase of war against Iran. When Netanyahu's broomstick lands... more war, terror attacks and genocide follow.

🇪🇸 A spokesperson for the far-left parliamentary group EH Bildu in the Spanish Congress of Deputies, Mertxe Aizpurua, urged Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez "to be the first to propose withdrawing [Spain] from NATO." "We have seen a genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza justified, broadcast to the entire world with absolute impunity. And now we see an illegal war against Iran and Lebanon, without cause or justification, with disastrous human and social consequences, and also with absolute impunity."

When doctors in white coats are met with hostility and threats of arrest in the US Congress for speaking out against the genocide in Palestine, it’s clear freedom of speech is under attack. Advocating for children in Gaza should never be treated as a crime. Doctors Against Genocide won’t back down.

Tulsi, Israel is the national security threat! The U.S. sends billions to fund Israel’s genocide in Gaza killing tens of thousands, displacing millions, and fueling global outrage. People around the world see our complicity and are turning against us. This is making us hated, isolated, and unsafe. Real security starts with ending U.S. support for war crimes.

We do not have to respond to every global challenge with weapons and war. We have a moral responsibility to ground our foreign policy in peace and diplomacy. Proud to stand with feminist leaders against the rising tide of militarism at home and abroad.

“This isn’t America’s war”? The Islamic regime has already been fighting one against the U.S. for 47 years. They’ve killed 880+ Americans, bombed U.S. targets, plotted assassinations on U.S. soil, armed terrorists from Lebanon to Gaza, and even fired missiles at American troops. Ignoring that isn’t America First. It’s pretending a war against America doesn’t exist. This week on my show, Axis of Truth on Jewish News Syndicate
