“This is not just a regional crisis. It is a stress test of the nuclear system itself — and the system is failing.” Our Danny Hall breaks down why the Iran crisis exposes the inherent failure of deterrence. Preventnuclearwar.org/the-iran-war-is-a-stress-test-and-the-nuclear-system-is-failing

Cluster Munition Coalition @banclusterbombs.bsky.social · 17/03/2026
We agree, General. Cluster munitions are inherently indiscriminate, which is why 112 countries have banned them under the Convention on Cluster Munitions. The US has not joined. Neither have Iran or Israel. We urge all three governments to act on these words and join the ban.

If only we had some kind of agreement to roll back Iran's nuclear program - maybe we could call it like the Iran Nuclear Deal or something but just spitballing

These strikes on Iran are aimed at regime change & there's reports of direct attacks on civilians. Where is the so-called opposition party in the U.S.? Delaying a vote to allow these strikes to happen?? No statement yet from our so-called leader Jeffries. #Iran

Truly so much to say about yesterday’s faith witness on Capitol Hill for immigrant justice. What started out as a plan for 100-200 people ended as a historic event with 2,000 people of faith - worshipping, marching, gathering across from the seat of power to say that the Lord’s word is for JUSTICE.

Senate Budget Committee @senatebudget.bsky.social · 24/02/2026
Trump and Hegseth can’t even justify their $1.5 TRILLION defense budget ask—a staggering $500 BILLION INCREASE. Congress should flat-out reject it.
  An unserious request like this invites waste and abuse, and risks blowing up the bipartisan appropriations process altogether.

A Democratic senator introduced legislation on Monday to prevent U.S. President Donald Trump from using military force against Iran without Congress's authorization, as an escalating battle between Israel and Iran raised fears of broader conflict.

Last week the Trump admin agreed to a settlement that requires DOJ to not enforce the ban against devices that function like a forced reset trigger. FRTs essentially turn semiautomatic firearms into machine guns. Read more from @giffords.org: giffords.org/analysis/the...

Forced reset triggers drastically increase a firearm’s rate of fire, resulting in a firing rate nearly identical to a machine gun.

It’s been three years since 10 people went on a grocery run in Buffalo, New York and never made it home. An entire community was torn apart by an armed white supremacist. Racist violence has cost far too many lives in our country, & it must stop. We owe it to the victims & their loved ones to act.
