The US role in the coup against Pakistani PM Imran Khan is undeniable.
Yet, elected officials and journalists in the US remain overwhelmingly silent.
Where is the accountability? https://t.co/CJ8f3xiNHq

@codepinkalert China is investing more in clean energy than the rest of the world combined while the U.S. pours trillions into war and fossil fuels. As Trump doubles down on oil and militarism, China is building the solar panels, EVs, and renewable infrastructure shaping the future. The future belongs to countries investing in life, not war.

@codepinkalert Abel Bisrat, a U.S. graduate student on the flotilla to Gaza, was kidnapped by Israeli forces while attempting to deliver humanitarian aid to starving civilians in Gaza. His mother still has no answers. “He just wanted to bring food and medicine to the people of Gaza.” The flotilla carried doctors, aid workers, and peace activists, not weapons. Yet Israel intercepted them in international waters and detained those onboard. Meanwhile, U.S. officials and media figures try to smear humanitarian volunteers as “terrorist supporters” for refusing to stay silent during a genocide. Demand the immediate release of all flotilla participants. Humanitarian aid is not a crime.

@codepinkalert The last boat of the 2026 Gaza Freedom Flotilla has been seized in international waters and its crew detained by Israeli forces. Unarmed civilians sailed to break the siege on Gaza and bring global attention to the genocide. The world cannot stay silent. Free the flotilla activists. Free Palestine.
