Death and tasks

No war in U.S. history has been as unpopular at its start as Trump's war against Iran has been.

Across the country, we have started hitting the streets and talking to neighbors about what we know to be true –– the people of the U.S. do not want another forever war.

Find our new public outreach toolkit with materials to talk to your friends, family, neighbors and coworkers about Trump's dangerous escalation in Iran! ➡️ https://t.co/VEXiTKdFgr

“We didn’t need to be in this war. This is uncalled for. And this is what we get.”

Twenty-eight-year-old U.S. Airman Tyler Simmons was killed last week when his aircraft crashed during combat operations with Iran. In an interview with local station NBC4, Simmons's family calls out Trump for starting an unnecessary war on Iran and pleas for an immediate end to the attacks.

@pslnational That's right

We support the call from Minnesota-based Black and Somali student organizations — on Friday, January 30, join the national day of action to say ICE OUT OF EVERYWHERE!

Last Friday, people from all walks of life came together in the Twin Cities and all across Minnesota had a day of “no work, no school, no shopping” and shut it down. It captured the imagination of the whole country. They’ve shown the way for all of us — to stop ICE’s reign of terror, we need to SHUT IT DOWN. What happened in Minnesota can happen across the entire country.

Now is the decisive moment. The Minnesota General Strike has given us a historic opening. If we all take a stand now, we can stop the killings and the kidnappings, and end Trump’s war on our most basic rights!

Make a plan. Organize your people. Stay tuned for actions this January 30 around the country.

GRAPHIC: CBP officers shoot another person in Minneapolis at point-blank range. Footage obtained exclusively by BT shows federal officers on Nicollet Ave. on top of a man on the ground, before one CBP officer pulls his gun and repeatedly fires. Witnesses say that after the shooting CBP then walked down the block filming bystanders. Nothing else is known at this point about what preceded this, the identity of the man shot, or his current condition. FBI agents and an ambulance are at the scene.

🇵🇸⛵️Solidarity with the Global Sumud Flotilla!

Hundreds of activists from around the world, sailing to bring desperately-needed aid to Gaza, are currently under attack by the Israeli military. The brave participants in the flotilla represent all people of conscience in the world, putting themselves on the line to challenge the genocidal blockade imposed by Israel. That this humanitarian mission is being met with military force is both an outrage and a perfect encapsulation of the brutality of the Israeli regime.

Israel’s blockade of Gaza has caused mass starvation and homelessness along with a collapse of the public health system. This crime against humanity is made possible by the endless military and diplomatic support Israel receives from the U.S. government.

The eyes of the world are on the flotilla. We join with countless others in demanding that Israeli forces not brutalize, torture or mistreat the activists on board. The flotilla should be able to sail on and break the blockade of Gaza!

[The People's Forum @PeoplesForumNYC]

Today, we received a letter from Congressman Jason Smith and the House Committee on Ways and Means targeting our organization for our work against genocide, defending immigrants, promoting international solidarity, and making political education accessible to tens of thousands of young organizers. This is a desperate attempt to silence our work and crush dissent. We will not be intimidated. This is not just an attack on The People’s Forum, but an assault on the fundamental rights of all people of conscience in the United States: the right to organize, the right to free speech, and the right to protest against injustice.

There’s a genocide happening we all have a role to play in calling out these injustices. Stand up for the people of Palestine see you there! ✊🏽🇵🇸

[Claudia De la Cruz @Claud9_]

Journalists all across the world should be voicing their outrage. Israel insists on killing the truth and those who amplify it. Gaza is the litmus test for humanity.

Genocide. Starvation. Displacement is being carried out by Israel and paid for by U.S dollars. This is beyond criminal.

🔥When it comes to climate catastrophes, the people of California deserve leaders who will meet their basic needs and prevent billionaires and corporations from creating disaster after disaster.

That's why Ramsey Robinson is running for Governor of California and Lalo Vargas is running for Insurance Commissioner.

🚨🇵🇸STOP STARVING GAZA: Emergency Mass March in NYC

📅 Sat. August 16, 2PM • 📍Bryant Park NYPL Steps

The blockade of Gaza has created a devastating hunger crisis that worsens daily as Palestinians continue to die of starvation and malnutrition. Trump has greenlit this Israeli starvation regime, while the US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has weaponized hunger instead of ending it. Now, reports show the US is working with Israel to tie future aid to Israeli plans for full occupation.

✊🇵🇸 We will not let this stand. People from across the country will take to the streets in massive numbers in NYC to show the world that the people of the United States will not allow this starvation to be waged in our name.
Join us in the streets — stand against genocide, stop the US-funded, Israeli famine, stand with Gaza!

BREAKING: Amazon Labor activist Chris Smalls returns home after being jailed by Israel for trying to deliver aid to Gaza.

NOW: Supporters of Chris Smalls fill the JFK airport lobby, waiting to welcome him home after his release from Israeli prison.

💥RELEASE CHRIS SMALLS!

Chris Smalls, labor organizer and co-founder of the Amazon Labor Union, bravely set out earlier this month on the Handala, a ship of activists carrying vital humanitarian aid attempting to break the blockade that Israel has imposed and help the starving population of Gaza. On July 26th, those on board the Handala were intercepted and kidnapped by the Israeli Occupation Forces.

Chris Smalls, the only Black member of the crew, has been singled out, brutalized, and continues to be held while others have been released already. This exposes once again the racist brutality of the Israeli colonial regime, and their determination to punish anyone seeking to defy their genocidal death drive.

Free Chris Smalls! Free Palestine! Lift the siege on Gaza and end the genocidal illegitimate occupation of Palestine by Israel!
