It is not too late to stop this mad rush into region-wide war. Take action by calling your representatives and saying “No War on Iran” and “No Boots on the Ground.” Get organized with neighbors and others to be in the streets.

Trump’s legal war against the press The lawsuits grind on even as the president complains that lawsuits against him are distracting.

Trump is suing 6 news organizations, including the WSJ, NYT, BBC, CNN and the Des Moines Register. He’s also suing the Pulitzer Prize board over journalism prizes it awarded 8 years ago.

Why he doesn’t need to win those cases to get what he wants 👇

The United States gave Netanyahu over $24 billion in taxpayer dollars to fund his horrific war in Gaza.

That wasn't enough. Netanyahu wanted war with Iran. Trump gave him one.

The American people — not Netanyahu’s right-wing government — should determine U.S. foreign policy.

Nicht Bedrohung für Amerika war für Trumps Irankrieg entscheidend, sondern das Lobbying des israelischen Regierungschefs, berichtet New York Times. Wäre gar nicht gut. Schwanz wedelt mit dem Hund?

Es war in Vergangenheit Streitpunkt zwischen Bund und Ländern. Denn die neue Aufgabe muss von Länderbehörden übernommen werden - die Kinder- und Jugendhilfe liegt in Zuständigkeit der Länder.

Übrigens: im Jänner gab es in Österreich 6 Asylanträge von unbegleiteten minderjährigen Geflüchteten.

Post image E3 leaders are appalled by the indiscriminate and disproportionate missile attacks launched by Iran against countries in the region, including those who were not involved in initial US and Israeli military operations. Iran’s reckless attacks have targeted our close allies and are threatening our service personnel and our civilians across the region.

We call on Iran to stop these reckless attacks immediately. We will take steps to defend our interests and those of our allies in the region, potentially through enabling necessary and proportionate defensive action to destroy Iran’s capability to fire missiles and drones at their source.

We have agreed to work together with the US and allies in the region on this matter.
