Iranian-American: “I’m opposed to my country bombing my family’s country and my tax dollars paying for it. It’s wrong.”

Why

The US is not beholden to Israel. Israel doesn't do what the U.S. doesn't also approve of.

Iran war: What is happening on day nine of US-Israel attacks? The US and Israel continue to strike Iran, hitting oil storage depots and refining facilities for the first time.

Hundreds of activists filled the streets of New York City in protest of the Israeli-US war on Iran and it's engulfing of the wider region's nations.

Trump Has Made the U.S. War Machine a Spectacle—And It’s Spectacularly Unpopular In Iran, Trump has brought the full extent of the war machine out into the open. Let’s channel public anger into organizing.

Trump has made the U.S. war machine impossible to ignore. As the bombing of Iran escalates, more people are rejecting endless war and militarized violence.

Khury Petersen-Smith and Azadeh Shahshahani argue we should channel public anger into organizing to dismantle militarism for good.

If the Democratic Party had actual leadership they would’ve went all in for Jasmine Crockett. Why? Because she’s confident, intelligent, & not afraid to stand up to MAGA. Because MAGA gerrymandered her Rep. district. By not supporting her fully the Dems. complied with MAGA, again

Brilliant, bold, and benevolent are appropriate adjectives to describe Jasmine Crockett.
She’s consistently stood up to Trump and MAGA. Yet the reason why she wasn’t supported enough by Democrats is because of anti-Blackness and misogynoir.

She quit her job to fight for her father’s freedom—and for everyone else inside Alligator Alcatraz Inside the weekly vigils that refuse to let Florida's most notorious detention camp and the immigrants detained there be forgotten.

Men think they're doing their share of housework. They're not. The gender gap is taking a toll on women's mental health and is not showing signs of getting better.

"New research from the university suggests that women who carried the bulk of the housework load at age 25 still bear the same heavy burdens decades later as they move into middle age — and that "women's domestic workload only increased during the child-rearing years."

We have $ for a dozen ICE agents to hang around for hours trying to arrest 2 roofers working in MN.

Meanwhile, the agency that investigates and prosecutes violations of Americans' right to organize is shedding staff again. Now down to like 1 agency staff per 145,000 workers.

Happening now: anti-war protestors are gathereing in Chicago's Congress Plaza for a demonstration against ongoing U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran.

Tonight's rally follows a similar protest in Chicago on Saturday; other anti-war actions are being planned across the city over the week.

The Department of Education has hung a massive banner honoring a racist college dropout who built a lucrative career out of targeting professors for harassment

The war is ON Iran not “with Iran”.
Just like the war was always ON Palestine. The military actions by our country and Israel are absolutely sick. #NoWarOnIran

The United States and Israel bombed a girls' elementary school in Minab, southern Iran.

The US-Israeli strike killed at least 40 children and injured more than 41 others.

Heinous terror.

Just woke up to this.

🚨 US and Israel attack Iran.

So Israel is launching a "preventive" strike on Iran and also announcing a state of emergency, because they expect Iran to respond to their "preventive" strike by launching missiles. So like... what's being prevented here?

The US and Israel have, in fact, begun an illegal war with Iran. The US lured Iran into talks and seemingly reached an agreement that Iran would end its uranium enrichment. As of 8:00 AM, Israel and the US launched a surprise attack on Iran with the intent of assassinating its leadership
