Last week, governments met for the latest round of talks on autonomous weapons, as the US and Israel ramped up their use of AI in attacks on Iran, Gaza, and more. Urgent action is required to prohibit and regulate these weapons now. See our latest report. 📰: reachingcriticalwill.org/images/docum...
Once again, the US and Israel have launched an unlawful war of aggression against another country, complete with false claims about WMD. We are being marched deeper into a global hellscape of carnage and chaos, but opportunities to resist abound. My latest for @counterpunchmedia.bsky.social.
Once again, the United States and Israel have launched an unlawful war of aggression against another country. The unconscionable harm to civilians in Iran and beyond, the destruction of international law, and the militarised bullying must end now.

A horrific new report from Al Jazeera about Israel’s use of thermal and thermobaric weapons provided by the United States reveals how munitions burning at 3,500C have left no trace of nearly 3,000 Palestinians. The supply chain is evidence of complicity in genocide and war crimes.
As the US sends an armada to Iran and threatens to strike, diplomacy and dialogue are imperative. War is not a nuclear non-proliferation strategy and the imperialist designs of Israel and the United States must not be supported. 📃: reachingcriticalwill.org/news/latest-...
From the United States' new Board of War Criminals to the Canadian Prime Minister’s speech at Davos, imperial states are jostling to control the international system. It’s clear we need a real alternative rooted in human rights, justice, and demilitarisation: reachingcriticalwill.org/news/latest-...

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.
I talked with three Minneapolis organizers, including Andrew Fahlstrom and Susan Raffo, about community defense in Minneapolis, the social fabric of collective care under federal occupation, and how people around the country should be gearing up for the long struggle ahead. Audio + transcript:
Todd Miller and Melissa Del Bosque on why just abolishing ICE missing the point @mdelbosque.bsky.social www.theborderchronicle.com/abolishing-j...

The last nuclear arms control agreement between Russia and the United States expired today. While the treaty placed important limits on deployed nuclear weapons, it didn’t prevent an arms race, nor did it lead to disarmament. We need abolition now. 📃: reachingcriticalwill.org/news/latest-...

The most notable difference between Tom Homan and Bovino is that Homan has deported a lot more people — and done it at a national scale.
Get ready for a Democratic Party influencer blitz to convince you that replacing Greg Bovino with Tom Homan is a huge win you should be grateful for.
Meanwhile here’s Tom Homan:

This is not okay. None of this is okay.
The Canadian government brought Roshel’s CEO on a trade mission SIX DAYS after the US regime murdered Renee Good.
They know.
Those armoured vehicles you see driving around Minneapolis? They are manufactured by Roshel in Canada.

ICE is ordering armoured vehicles from Canada.
If you don't think Canadian military equipment should be used to terrorize and murder civilians, you might send your objections to the House of Commons Foreign Affairs committee:
