Rep. Ilhan Omar @repilhan.bsky.social · 28/02/2026
Statement from Rep. Ilhan Omar on Trump’s Illegal War on Iran

“President Trump is unilaterally dragging this nation into an illegal and unjustified war with Iran without congressional authorization, without a clear objective, and without any imminent threat to the United States. This is a reckless abuse of power that puts both innocent civilians and American lives on the line for a conflict the American people do not want. 

“As someone who has survived the horrors of war, I know that bombs do not build peace or create stability. Military strikes will not make us safer; they will inflame tensions and push the region further into chaos. When we abandon diplomacy, we choose destruction.“We know who will bear the cost of this decision: innocent civilians caught in the crossfire and our young service members sent into harm’s way. This is the devastating human toll of another regime-change war. Already, children and families are paying with their lives. There is no moral or strategic justification for this bloodshed.

“The American people are exhausted by endless wars built on false promises and paid for with American and foreign lives. Congress must reassert its constitutional authority. We must vote immediately on the War Powers resolution authored by Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie. This unlawful operation must end immediately."

When a cop murdered my big brother at a road block 21 years ago, their post-facto justification was that he tried to run over a cop. His foot released the brake after the officer shot him in the chest, and the car bumped an officer.

What a distillation of the Trump-Vance-Rubio legacy.

Young woman in Michigan says "this is not just a foreign issue, it's our tax dollars being used to commit these war crimes," referring to Venezuela.

…Then police arrest her, on camera, for "obstructing" & "failure to obey." https://t.co/Di0uuG2TAP

Pittsburgh DSA's Statement in Solidarity with the Venezuelan People and the Bolivarian Revolution.
Pittsburgh DSA's Statement: End the US War against Venezuela and Release Nicolas MaduroIn the early morning of January 3, 2025, the United States invaded Venezuela and kidnapped President Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores. This is the latest in a series of murderous, lawless actions taken by the Trump administration in violation of Venezuelan sovereignty. The United States government has made plain it intends to seize Venezuela’s oil and install an imperial-puppet regime dominated by American corporate interests. This is simply the latest effort in the United States’ decades long neo-colonialist imperialist war on the nation and it’s people in order to rob it of the world’s largest oil reserves. Pittsburgh DSA stands in solidarity with the Venezuelan people. We condemn these outrageous actions  and call for the immediate release of President Maduro and Cilia Flores and a complete cessation of hostilities towards Venezuela, including an end to the military blockade, sanctions, and horrific strikes on Venezuelan people.

"The WFTU calls upon its members, the class-oriented and militant unions all over the globe to express the unwavering support to the people of Venezuela..." Statement from the World Federation of Trade Unions www.wftucentral.org/wftu-condemn...
The US is intensifying its aggression against the sovereign people of Venezuela.

Following the deployment of U.S. forces in the Caribbean with the pretex of fight against drug trafficking and after the first land stike on a dock area inside the country, the USA uncontrollable escalates its aggression with the contacting of a large scale strike against Karakas, capturing of the President Nikolas Maduro and his wife.

This illegal kidnap, if confirmed, constitute an unprecedented aggressive act that violates every fundamental principals of international law and practice, opening yet another war front in the unstable global scene.  This intervention confirming the chaotic phase into which imperialist aggression has entered with unforeseen consequences.

The World Federation of Trade Unions condemns unequivocally the imperialist intervention in Venezuela aiming the control of the mineral and energy wealth of the country in the framework of the inter-imperialistic antagonism for domination.

The WFTU calls upon its members, the class-oriented and militant unions all over the globe to express the unwavering support to the people of Venezuela condemning the unacceptable and unprecedented intervention  and to strongly condemn the imperialist intervention against the people of Venezuela and to tangibly extend their internationalist solidarity in multiple ways, supporting the non-negotiable right of the peoples to determine freely and democratically their own present and future.

Solidarity with Venezuela — No to imperialist interventions!
