Palestinians have long awaited a hearing in The Hague at the International Court of Justice.
That day is here.
Take action with us: support South Africa’s initiative to identify and end the genocide in Gaza ➡️https://t.co/XG0BFqjK9C #IsraelOnTrial 🧵

The Iran War Powers Resolution *PASSES* 215-208 in the House with four Republicans joining Democrats: Massie, Davidson, Barrett, and Fitzpatrick.

Thank you to everyone who called and wrote their Members of Congress (including the nearly 150,000 letters to Congress from @MPower_Change members) urging passage of the Iran War Powers Resolution to end Trump's illegal and disastrous war on Iran.

[Senate Cloakroom @SenateCloakroom]

Agreed to, 50-47: Motion to discharge from Foreign Relations Committee, S.J.Res.185, Kaine War Powers Resolution (Iran).

[San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria @MayorToddGloria]

I am aware of the active shooter situation at the Islamic Center of San Diego in Clairemont and am continuing to receive updates from law enforcement. Emergency personnel are on scene and actively working to protect the community and secure the area.

[Abby Martin @AbbyMartin]

NOW: Capitol Police are arresting @MikePrysner + 150 veterans and military families holding red tulips honoring Iranian martyrs to protest the war

[Oliver Larkin for Congress @OliverALarkin]

Proud to have the endorsement of @mpoweraction, the largest Muslim digital advocacy organization in the U.S. This campaign is about ending endless war, defending civil rights, and building a government accountable to people, not corporations. Grateful for their support.

“‘Among other things, she is the planner, the scheduler, the caretaker, the cook, the disciplinarian, and the primary nurturer. She has performed all these roles while working part-time as a dentist in a dental practice she owns,’ the judge wrote, calling her ‘a port in a storm for her children.’”

[Jeremy Slevin @jeremyslevin]

Historic.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Today, more than 80% of the Democratic caucus stood with the American people and voted to block U.S. military aid to Netanyahu and his horrific, illegal wars.

[Seyed Abbas Araghchi @araghchi]

The Iran–U.S. Ceasefire terms are clear and explicit: the U.S. must choose—ceasefire or continued war via Israel. It cannot have both.

The world sees the massacres in Lebanon. The ball is in the U.S. court, and the world is watching whether it will act on its commitments.

[kev joon @never_oppressed]

I’ve had the privilege of meeting Ali Ghamsari and he is a beautiful soul. A man who put his life on the line to protect the infrastructure of Iran. These are the men and women who will build the future of Iran, not Reza Pahlavi and his clan of genocidaires.

[Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari @RepYassAnsari]

I do not appreciate anyone - Democrat or Republican - taking this moment to make TACO jokes to say Trump “chickened out.”

The president was threatening genocide against 90 million Iranians.

I’m grateful there’s a ceasefire & scores of innocent people didn’t die tonight.

[Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer]

The U.S. must immediately make clear to Israel that the ceasefire agreement is not and cannot be functional without a ceasefire in Lebanon. The American people want this war to end and bombing downtown Beirut is not a path to peace.

“This is the first time the NAACP has ever called for the 25th Amendment to be invoked.”

[Mike Quigley @RepMikeQuigley]

I'm officially calling for the Cabinet to remove Trump from office under the 25th Amendment. If they can't, Congress must return from recess today and begin impeachment proceedings.

[Ed Markey @SenMarkey]

Donald Trump said “a whole civilization will die tonight”. There is no room for interpretation. The President of the United States is threatening genocide in Iran.

[Yasmine Taeb @YasmineTaeb]

Trump is openly calling to commit genocide in Iran, threatening "a whole civilization will die." Beyond passing a War Powers Resolution to end this illegal war, Congress must take action NOW and remove Trump from office. TAKE ACTION: https://t.co/b0ULsQOFuk

[Justin Amash @justinamash]

I’m pretty sure that wiping out “a whole civilization” will involve issuing unlawful orders.

Remove this man from office before he actually attempts to carry out what he’s threatening. We don’t know what he’ll do, but given the unhinged rhetoric, we shouldn’t wait to find out.

[Ed Markey @SenMarkey]

A war powers resolution will not be enough. Yes. We need to assert congressional authority and stop this illegal war in Iran. But, Trump is clearly an unstable warmonger at odds with the will of the people. Removal is the top priority. No more war criminal in the White House.

[Brian Schatz @brianschatz]

This is not some sort of fog of war situation w terrible options foisted upon us by external forces. This is a war of choice and now our country is threatening to commit genocide. It is time for all American patriots to speak up, unanimously, against this monstrous, insane war.
