Solidarity with IDF soldiers refusing to fight in the Israeli state's genocidal erasure of Palestine and the Palestinian people. Mutiny for Palestine Now.

Americans, better start practicing your sieg heil salutes to Supreme Leader. It’s 1938 again. Btw, you fell over like a house of cards. Wasnt even a challenge for Trump. Afterwards you’ll all say you didn’t want it, not you, but now you’ll do absolutely nothing to stop it.

Once again, the US is on the dark side of world affairs--from Vietnam to Central America to Iraq and now Iran (this time is a genocidal alliance with Zionist Israel) imperialist power and war is chosen over justice and peace. Stop the bombing. Stop all support of Israel. Justice and peace now.

Trump just attacked Iran. A few immediate reactions. First off, as a U.S citizen, I'm simply appalled by Trump's refusal to seek Congressional authorization in violation of law and the constitution. Just because it's not surprising doesn't make it any less dreadful. (1/n)

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

The President's disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers.
He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations.
It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.

POTUS is telegraphing open imperial invasion of sovereign nations. This isn’t new, but now they are realigning their imperialism onto their allies. There is a complicated reality here, of settler states at war, but more simply: the US is—at best—now a mafia state. Chickens need to roost.
