Israel has imprisoned Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya without charge for over 18 months now.

He reports he is regularly abused by Israeli guards and has suffered serious injuries.
We cannot continue to allow Israel to torture Palestinian doctors with impunity.
FREE DR. ABU SAFIYA! https://t.co/5WHrcNR6mN
@codepinkalert A 26-year-old Colombian man is dead after an encounter with ICE in Maine. Just days earlier, another father of three was killed in Texas. We visited Senator Susan Collins’ office after standing with the people of Biddeford, where hundreds came together to demand accountability. While communities are calling for safety and dignity, Collins voted to support tens of billions more in funding for ICE. Our communities deserve care, not terror. No more deaths. No more expanding ICE. Stand with immigrant communities and demand accountability.

@codepinkalert Ahead of the vote to halt weapons to Israel, we asked representatives if they supported the measure. Instead of answering, they just tried distract from their complicity in genocide.

@codepinkalert For once, the Senate refused to fast-track a $1.15 trillion Pentagon budget. After sustained grassroots pressure, senators blocked debate on the 2027 NDAA, demanding the right to vote on amendments to stop funding for an unauthorized war on Iran and challenge deeper U.S.-Israel military integration. People power made this vote possible. Now let’s make sure senators hold the line.
