Post-COVID, the World Is Still Trying to Catch Its Breath "The Treasury Department is crucial to unlocking this valuable tool at this moment because the United States has veto power at the IMF."

Action Corps National Director @iefrantz spoke with David Swanson on Talk World Radio to discuss why state governments passing the #DefendTheGuard act is vital in upholding the U.S. constitution as Congress actively abdicates its war making responsibilities.
We hope @SenToddYoung will take this overwhelming opposition to the war into consideration when he casts his vote this evening on the Iran war powers resolution. @TroopsHomeUS
🚨 Breaking: 79% of Trump 2024 voters want Trump to declare victory and end war now according to new @QuincyInst /@amconmag polling https://t.co/gAIRdKZTVB
People in Indiana — your voice is particularly critical TODAY, Wednesday, before the Senate votes this evening. Our U.S. senators from Indiana are key to stopping this horrific war.
🚨URGENT: Senate votes TODAY on Sen. Booker’s Iran War Powers Resolution.
At least 1,444 Iranians have been killed, with confirmed casualties across 12 countries, and escalation is growing, including strikes on critical energy and civilian infrastructure. This resolution would force an end to unauthorized U.S. military action against Iran unless Congress approves it, a key step to stop further devastation.
📞Call your Senators now: 844-228-6422
Tell them: Vote YES to end the war on Iran.

It’s particular important for people to call Sen. Todd Young about this. In the past he has sometimes stood up for the Constitution over politics and voted in the interest of our service members, civilians in other countries, and military restraint. Will you reach out to him? 🙏

🕊️ Today activists here in the Midwest from @theactioncorps met with a member of Congress who said that at town halls in her district right now the top issues are SNAP benefits (food stamps), Medicaid, and Gaza! The American people want to stop participating in genocide! 🛑
New on the Substack: How to organize on global justice.
Politicians say voters don't care abt foreign policy. Wonks just focus on policy papers.
@iefrantz + @theactioncorps organize ordinary ppl for just foreign policy. I interviewed him on what they do + what to learn from it
‼️.@SenToddYoung & @SenatorBanks are set to vote on U.S. participation in war w/ Iran Fri 6/27 at 6pm. Please urge them to vote to prevent further war with Iran. The war is killing civilians and making us all less safe. https://t.co/4uGQq67Hu9
Trump promised to end endless wars—now he's bombing Yemen without Congressional approval. I stood up when Biden did it, and I’ll stand up now. I passed with @SenSanders & @MikeLeeforUtah a historic War Powers Resolution on Yemen in 2019. No president is above the Constitution.
10 years ago this week, the US began supporting the Saudi-Emirati-led coalition in bombing Yemen, creating a humanitarian crisis. Saudis stopped April 1, 2022. Now, exactly 10 years after the US-backed war on Yemen began, the U.S. is back at it, bombing directly. #YemenCantWait
Good to see this post — this is a nonpartisan issue, about humanity, our constitution (Congress is supposed to decide when to go to war), and our national security. Thx @RepChuyGarcia for saying what needs to be said. #WarPowers
Yemen was already facing a humanitarian crisis connected to prior bombing. Then the Trump Admin leaked plans to continue strikes…on Signal.
This isn't just incompetence, it’s cruelty—resuming an illegal war without Congressional approval in one of the poorest places on earth.
There is no military solution to the crisis in the Middle East. Civilians are paying the price. The unconstitutional attacks by the U.S. on Yemen must stop. 🛑 #CeasefireNOW Congress, reclaim your #WarPowers before it’s too late. ⏰
Where’s @SenToddYoung? Would help if folks here in Indiana called him. 202-224-3121. “Senator, will you stand up for the law and humanity, and vote to block illegal sales of weapons to Israel?”
In August @SenSanders pledged to intro these resolutions when @ActionCorpsVT activists and allies asked him to. Now the Senate is going to vote. Call your senator at 202-224-3121 first thing Wed. 11/20 to tell them "Support Bernie's JRDs to block weapons for Israel." More:👇
We are grateful for @RepAndreCarson from Indiana for standing up for humanity and democracy. And for the U.S. Constitution — no matter which party is in the White House. Thank you for truly putting #CountryBeforeParty. #WarPowers
.@RepRashida listened to her Michigan constituents we connected her w/ – Jewish, Christian, Muslim – who asked her to lead this letter. Appreciate these lawmakers' courage – and that of @SenRandPaul, @RepThomasMassie and others who call for respect of Congress' #WarPowers.
Our team in Vermont helped push Senator Sanders to introduce the Joint Resolutions of Disapproval. Now it’s your turn—add your voice to get your senators on board and help stop the U.S. from fueling war.

📧 WE NEED YOUR HELP. Tell your senators to stop the U.S. from fueling war in Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, and Yemen. With violence escalating and U.S. troops being deployed to Israel, we must reclaim Congress’s power over war decisions. Every voice counts! https://t.co/5cdzTN9gsJ
