It’s going unnoticed because so much other news is happening, but the war drums are beating again in D.C. The warmongers worry this is their last chance to get the white whale they’ve been chasing for thirty years, an all-out regime change war against Iran.
A new Middle East war would be a catastrophic mistake. Our military stockpiles are depleted from three years of backing Ukraine. Our effort to reshore manufacturing has only just begun and will take years to bear fruit. War would worsen our already immense deficit and national debt. Iran is larger than Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan combined. A war would not be easy and could easily become a calamity.
Thanks to President Trump’s restraint during his first term, America has a golden opportunity to pull away from Middle East quagmires for good. We shouldn’t throw that opportunity away so that sone D.C. has-beens can feel tough by sending young Americans to die yet again.
#Australia: An extraordinary act of courage by Ahmed El Ahmad—a 43-year-old Muslim father of two—who put his own life at risk to save neighbors celebrating Hanukkah.
Wishing him a full and speedy recovery. Deeply inspired by his humanity.
@tedcruz@GavinNewsom What compromises have you offered to get the seven Democrats you need to keep the government open? Your party is in control of the Senate and you've known you've needed those votes the whole time.

This evening, 56 years after the Apollo 11 moon landing, I spoke with the astronaut Buzz Aldrin. Together we shared the memory of a historic feat, a testimony to human ingenuity, and we reflected on the mystery and greatness of Creation.
I’m proud to represent Wyandotte in the Michigan Senate. It’s a blue-collar town that has voted for Trump and for me, a Democrat.
More Democrats should be paying attention to places like Downriver if we want to win nationwide. Thank you @SenatorSlotkin for highlighting us.
I want to be on the record to say that I don’t think it’s appropriate for the president to pardon his own family members or any political allies. It’s ridiculous that we’ve come to this point.
When Trump abuses pardons in the future (again), I will also speak out on it then, too. We need people in power who are less concerned about their own self interest and more committed to the good of others.
As we reflect on the 2024 election results and consider what they mean for our communities, we wanted to share a piece our CEO, Jeanné Lewis recently wrote for America Magazine.

@HighSierraAaron@ninaturner@joshfoxfilm@SierraClub@BenJealous Strong words from a @sierraclub board member about an almost year old meme that's being dredged up as workers are under attack. Any comment on the 50%+ BIPOC union members that have been laid off over the last two rounds and the push to limit @PWUnion1's right to grieve racism?
@joshfoxfilm@SierraClub@PWUnion1 Bottom line: on one side there's a meme management is pointing to from over a year ago suggesting the union is racist. On the other side management fired the equity team, has been disproportionately laying off people of color, and attacking the unions right to grieve all this.
@joshfoxfilm@SierraClub I hear and I'm not saying SC is perfect, nor am I saying the union is perfect. On balance though @PWUnion1 has undoubtedly been a force for the marginalized in environmental spaces that have been traditionally hostile including SC.
@joshfoxfilm@SierraClub This is all complex and you name some of the complexity, but decades of work trying to move the Sierra Club into something that is representative of the communities it has to fight for is currently being undone, and I'd hope you'd consider that.
@joshfoxfilm@SierraClub Finally on the prioritization of the grassroots, are you aware the first round of layoffs destroyed the organizing and campaigns department to create a new field department, and the second round of layoffs is now destroying that new field department?
