A little craftier than usual for one of my games I’ll have at Protospiel Chicago this weekend. Hand made stamps, using icon art from various artists on thenounproject.com
Array of rectangular wooden blocks stamped with red ink. Stamps are icons for water, stone, oil, fish, wheat, trees. The hand-made stamps are visible in the foreground.

For those in the US, the correct position is to be anti-war and anti-imperialist. The US does not have the right to conduct regime change to either destroy the country or install a puppet. If US sanctions / war are constantly on the neck of the Iranian people, how can they ever achieve freedom.

Fascists and despots start wars to remain in power and enrich themselves. Today, in the Middle East, we are seeing what two unaccountable warmongers will do with unchecked power and a lack of oversight. Read my full statement!
Congresswoman Ramirez Condemns Trump’s Unlawful Military Action on Iran, Murder of Head of State“Many of us were clear that the violence and destabilization that Trump started in Venezuela was not going to end there. Fascists and despots start wars to remain in power and enrich themselves. Today, in the Middle East, we are seeing what two unaccountable warmongers will do with unchecked power and a lack of oversight. 


Once again, the Trump Administration, this time in coordination with Netanyahu’s government, perpetrated an unlawful attack against a sovereign nation and its head of state. As it was with the kidnapping of Maduro, the murder of Ali Khamenei is an unlawful action. It is a violation of U.S. and international law and dangerously undermines the rule of law, making all of us less safe. Trump's actions only bring us closer to a regional war that puts civilians and American troops at risk.I stand with all people who yearn to be free, including Iranian protestors who have bravely demanded change. It is the action of the people that secures lasting change and enduring peace. History has shown us that peace and democracy have never been realized through strong men, United States imperialism, or unilateral military intervention. Regime change has always been the powerful's preferred pretense for advancing U.S. economic and corporate interests around the world. 

Americans are tired of endless wars. Congress can't keep turning a blind eye. We can’t continue allowing a despot to consolidate power at home and abroad and put our democracy and security at risk. We have to take action. Our constituents are calling us to hold Donald Trump and every fascist, warmonger, and despot accountable. Let’s pass my Block the Bombs Act, pass a War Powers Resolution that asserts our authorities, and impeach Trump.”

Today, our communities in Franklin Park witnessed the inevitable violence resulting from the Trump Administration’s unconstitutional, unlawful, unaccountable actions.
Congresswoman Ramirez, Northwest Side Public Officials Joint Statement on the Killing of Immigrant by ICE“Today, our communities in Franklin Park witnessed the inevitable violence resulting from the Trump Administration’s unconstitutional, unlawful, unaccountable actions. We are outraged that, near a school, during drop-off, the Department of Homeland Security created a violent spectacle that resulted in the death of Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez. What happened today is not an isolated incident; it is the consequence of Trump's anti-immigrant agenda, ICE’s pattern of racial profiling, and their unlawful policing in our communities.  


We have long warned that the militarized tactics used by DHS and the deployment of ICE agents, with no transparency or oversight, undermine the rule of law and create fear and chaos in our communities. Men in masks, arrests without valid warrants, and no certainty of due process are all tactics that strip our communities of safety and dignity and put our community in harm's way. 
While the investigation is ongoing, we know that a traffic violation should never amount to a death sentence. We demand a full and thorough investigation into what happened today. DHS is not above the law. They should immediately release all body camera footage, warrants, and relevant information on this case. Our community deserves answers and accountability, not the scapegoating of our most vulnerable. 

Instead of taking responsibility, DHS chose to attack local rapid response teams—community members who work every day to protect their neighbors—rather than acknowledge ICE’s dangerous and unlawful actions. That is unacceptable. We stand in solidarity with our communities, and we demand an end to unconstitutional attacks that endanger all communities, especially immigrant communities, across Illinois.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Analysis: US strikes mark a stunning demonstration of military might and presidential power
Analysis from CNN's Stephen Collinson
President Donald Trump's attack on Iran's nuclear sites is both a stunning demonstration of US military might and unilateral presidential
power.
Other presidents chose not to take this step, in the belief that such action could ignite a
full-on war with Iran. But the Middle East has changed - Israel has dismantled many of the Iranian proxies that it would have used to fight back.
