@codepinkalert What's wrong with you, @TulsiGabbard ? These Islamophobic lies aren’t just offensive, they’re dangerous. When the Director of National Intelligence spreads post-9/11 fearmongering, people get hurt. We’ve seen where this leads.

@codepinkalert On Christmas Day, while families gathered for peace and goodwill, the U.S. was dropping bombs. Without congressional approval, without public debate, the Trump administration launched airstrikes in northwest Nigeria dragging the U.S. into yet another conflict that poses no threat to the American people. Bombs don’t bring peace. They deepen suffering, fuel chaos, and repeat the same deadly pattern we’ve seen for decades. This holiday season, let’s tell our government: Stop the killing.
