Feminist, anti-war campaigning at @MADREspeaks | Thinking about feminist political movements, inclusive peace processes & how the US obstructs both

Our latest from @MADREspeaks:

For sustainable peace and security, Yemen needs a community-driven peace process - not another US-driven political process focused on security primacy and corrupt military officials.

[J Street @jstreetdotorg]

This moment demands a reset. J Street is calling for the U.S. to end unconditional financial military subsidies to Israel and to move towards a relationship where we treat Israel like any other ally.

J Street supports:
– Phasing out taxpayer-funded military aid by 2028, when the current agreement ends.
– Ensuring Israel can defend itself, by selling – not subsidizing – the weapons it needs, including Iron Dome.
– Enforcing U.S. law on how American arms are used, including withholding certain weapons when those laws are not met.

Why now? The current U.S. aid agreement expires in 2028. This is the moment to chart a smarter path forward. At the same time, after the devastation in Gaza and ongoing suffering in the West Bank, it is clear that the status quo is no longer sustainable.

Israel is strong, prosperous and capable of paying for its defense. Treating Israel as an exception and supplying it with a blank check worth billions has made support for the country more divisive and less sustainable.

Simply put, the U.S. should treat Israel like any other partner. The normalization of this relationship doesn’t weaken the alliance – it strengthens it, protects democracy and secures long-term bipartisan support.

There is not a single woman at the inaugural board meeting of the Board of Peace.

Not a single female voice representing US diplomacy, or the Middle East region in which women are 50% of the population.

@MeghanMcCain As a huge proponent of women, I totally agree with this take and it's why I registered Democrat.

Whether you have kids, want kids, want more kids, cant have kids, don't want kids, foster or adopt - or are sometimes between opinions - you know what?

It's your choice.

"Don't let the bullies win"
☝️this is the WHOLE DAMN thing.

Thank you, @IlhanMN.
For your consistent bravery & clarity.

We won't let the bullies win.

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.

I don’t let bullies win.

Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

It doesn't matter where it is happening: no one should be freezing to death.

Billionaires are a much bigger threat to our national security than immigrants, but y'all aren't ready for that conversation.

@kenklippenstein Do you think he'd be OK with any crime as long as he was briefed?

Venezuela deserves elections, not occupation.

Officially deactivating this account. It's hard to believe how much GOP content is being sent my way. This is truly just a propaganda platform.

Shame.

@ryangrim Do you not believe we live in a patriarchy?

I am trying to understand if this is a 'reverse racism' claim but w/ sexism, and how a reporter I respect so much would feel this way.

[MADRE @MADREspeaks]

There are consequences to policies that ignore the people leaders are meant to serve and protect.

A feminist foreign policy that centers gender justice, human rights, & demands the dismantling of toxic masculinity norms is the alternative we need. https://t.co/4ZvxLpckcI

Dear Rich People Leaving NYC:

I humbly accept the responsibility. I will take your brownstone and turn it into a feminist co-op for anti-militarism organizing.

Just, ssh. Let it go.

The Nobel Peace Prize winner is saying anything she can to get Trump to attack Venezuela.

Some people are not students of history: US intervention does not have humanitarian outcomes.

Not in this century.

Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado insists that Maduro rigged the 2020 US elections against Donald Trump (and many other elections in the region)

@GregAbbott_TX lmao wait what

[Kate Alexander (she/her) 🍉 @katecma]

When I do hate men, it's because they have done extraordinarily hateful and violent things.

Don't be mad at the consequences: be mad at the initial actions.
