"Secretary of War” Pete Hegseth has commanded invasions and murders, overseen multiple US wars & demanded billions more in Pentagon spending.

The @SecWar, Pete Hegseth, still hasn't meaningfully answered for the U.S. airstrike on a girls school in Minab, Iran that killed over 150 people, most of them children.

Freedom for Thiago Ávila and all abducted activists of the Global Sumud Flotilla. They were unarmed civilians sailing in international waters to break the siege on Gaza and Israel abducted them.

Humanitarian aid is not a crime. Solidarity is not a crime.
Free them now. End… pic.twitter.com/PA0lvlKvXm
@codepinkalert While journalists inside the White House Correspondents’ Dinner celebrated with the powerful, we brought them the face of Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil and asked a simple question: why are you silent while your colleagues are being killed? From Gaza to Lebanon to Iran, reporters are being killed by Israel, civilians are under bombardment. History will remember who spoke up and who partied with war criminals.

@codepinkalert NOW: Activists confront Pete Hegseth and the endless cycle of sanctions, bombings, and occupation in Iran carried out in our name. Their message was clear: the American people are tired of imperial wars that destroy families abroad while making no one safer at home. Leave the region to the people of the region. Peace, sovereignty, and dignity now

@codepinkalert “War criminal’s wife!” CODEPINK activists confronted the spouse of Pete Hegseth over the children killed by U.S. bombs and the families shattered by war. Those ordering bombings that kill children should not be normalized, celebrated, or shielded from public outrage. If power refuses accountability, the public will deliver the outrage itself.
