He's sent warships, warplanes, & thousands of troops.
He's authorized CIA operations.
He's bombed & killed dozens of people in international waters.

Over $1 million a day for the National Guard to needlessly occupy D.C.
We need this money for food, for housing, for healthcare — not for "practicing war" in our cities. pic.twitter.com/yfBbozFU0I
@codepinkalert Israeli occupation forces have held 16 year-old Palestinian-American Mohammed Ibrahim in detention for over 8 months. As he endures horrific conditions, his family has had no contact with him. They haven't seen him since the IOF took him from his family's home. Despite his US citizenship, the US government has made no effort to secure Mohammed's release. No child should be in prison, but denying the humanity of Palestinian children is US policy. We demand freedom for Mohammed Ibrahim and the hundreds of other children trapped in Israeli prisons.

@codepinkalert Senator Josh Hawley has taken $312,009 from the Israel lobby, with AIPAC as his top contributor. When confronted, Hawley deflected by falsely accusing CODEPINK of being funded by the CCP — a baseless smear meant to distract from his AIPAC ties. We are grassroots peace activists. He is a genocide supporter. We’re filing an ethics complaint.

@codepinkalert Senator Cruz claims to “hate violence”… yet supports Israel’s bombing of Gaza and wants to silence protests against it.
