It’s been almost 25 years since the U.S. invaded Afghanistan.
The same lies about Afghan women are still being used to justify wars today.

When hundreds of people were killed, thousands missing, and communities devastated by floods in the Himalayan region — the BBC chose to turn tragedy into another anti-China story.

🎧 NEW EPISODE
This week on CODEPINK Radio, Marcy and Medea take on the politics of Hollywood, Israeli settlements, the expanding U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, AI, and the growing resistance to endless war.
📲 Tune in: https://t.co/7Zk19a9jAq
Across the US, the Pentagon is a driving force behind the proliferation of AI infrastructure like data centers.
If we want to keep data centers out of our communities, we have to cut the Pentagon budget.
We must refuse to fund the militarization of this technology and the construction of military targets in communities across the U.S.
This week at CODEPINK, we:
☮️ Campaigned against the $1.5 trillion war budget
☮️ Confronted pro-genocide politicians
☮️ Opposed U.S. attacks on Iran
& more!
Check it out:

The Iran war isn’t just costing billions at the Pentagon. It’s costing us at the pump, at the grocery store and everywhere in between.
Higher diesel prices mean higher transportation costs and those costs get passed on to all of us.
We’re paying for this war whether we drive or not.
Enough. End the war.
Whole Foods sells stolen Dead Sea salts labeled "Made in Israel."
Israel's theft of Palestine's natural resources is accelerating the ecological collapse of the Dead Sea, and these products are funding it.
Today, we moved the Dead Sea salts at our local store to tell Whole Foods: get these products off your shelves!
We asked Haley Stevens about how she feels about losing her race despite having record-breaking funding from AIPAC.
She told us she has no regrets.
AIPAC's sole purpose is to build U.S. support for Israel's occupation and genocide in Palestine.
It is reprehensible that members of Congress like Stevens continue to proudly embrace its support.
Israel has held Sama Safi in detention for nearly 3 months without charge.
Join us tomorrow as we make calls to demand her release!

.@Codepink is calling on Western feminist organizations to confront Israel's gendered and sexual violence and support Palestinian reproductive and maternal health.
We’re in Congress at the SourceAmerica exhibit, supposedly showcasing the great things made in this country. So why is so much of what’s on display connected to the military?
Imagine what we could make if our priorities were people instead of war.
Congress wants to talk about censorship and “malign foreign influence” but apparently free speech stops when your t-shirt says something they don’t like.
At Rep. Bill Huizenga’s hearing, we sat quietly wearing shirts that said “NO WAR IN IRAN” and “SANCTIONS KILL.” We weren’t chanting. We weren’t interrupting. We weren’t disrupting the hearing and we were still kicked out.
So we went straight to Chairman Huizenga’s office. Free speech includes speech Congress doesn’t want to see.
Pete Hegseth has blood on his hands. Now, he could face impeachment. Republican Rep. Thomas Massie just introduced eight articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
Congress has a constitutional responsibility to hold the executive branch accountable for war-making. The question now is whether Congress will enforce the laws it passed, or allow another administration to wage war without accountability.
CODEPINK says: impeach Hegseth and arrest him for war crimes. Join the campaign: https://t.co/c9Qn4J53WN
Nancy Pelosi comments on the Iran War: "Our country is at war. We always root for our country under any circumstance. So let's get this done, Mr. President."
The Trump administration has notified Congress that it plans to purchase 60,000 bombs for the Israeli occupation forces (IOF).
The munitions package includes MK-84, BLU-117, and BLU-109 bombs.
Over the past three years, the IOF has routinely dropped these same munitions on residential buildings, schools, and hospitals in Palestine, Lebanon, and Iran.
The arms sale will cost U.S. taxpayers $2,800,000,000.
"VETERANS SAY NO MORE WAR!"
This morning, a veteran was arrested for protesting the U.S. war and sanctions on Iran during a congressional financial services hearing.
"I'm speaking out against the sanctions on Iran, against the sanctions on Cuba, against putting our veterans in harm's way."
