US must immediately end all US intel, logistical, operational, and any and all other participation and coordination with IDF.
Zero US resources should be illegally used to support these anti-peace efforts by Netanyahu and Israel.
Action Corps calls on all activists to contact their representatives and demand Congress act to secure the release of Palestinian-American Sami Safi.
Sami was arbitrarily detained by the Israeli’s last week. This is a clear violation of both US and international law’
The U.S. gives Israel $3.8B a year. In return, Israeli forces arbitrarily detained American citizen Sama Safi, 20, in a West Bank raid on her families home.
No charges. Unknown whereabouts. Congress must act to secure her immediate release!
#FreeSama
The fight to ensure justice for Lebanon and uphold Congressional war powers is not over. We stand with @RepRashida and honor her courage in opposing war crimes and unconstitutionally.
Thank you to all Action Corps activists who mobilized to purse justice for Lebanon.

Story TK
U.S. is sharing intelligence with the IDF which enables their destructive war on south Lebanon.
2 mil Lebanese civilians face permanent ethnic cleansing, 3400 civilians killed
Call your Representative today and urge a YES vote on @RepRashida’s Lebanon War Powers Resolution
Antipathy in Congress was an issue for the president and for the Saudi crown prince. So while the president can physically technically continue to wage this war against Iran as long as Congress continues to fund it, politically the cost goes up as Congress votes to end it.
🎉 The House just passed the bipartisan Iran War Powers Resolution! This particular kind of resolution can’t be vetoed by the president. Together we will keep building the pressure for Congress to do the will of the American people for peace. ⬇️
With the Yemen war Trump ultimately vetoed the joint resolution from Congress but its power was political — before he got it he had already stopped refueling Saudi fighter jets. And Saudi Arabia agreed to not bombard the key port city & ultimately stopped bombing the country. ⬇️
This spring 12 U.S. senators -- led by my @SenPeterWelch -- wrote to @CENTCOM asking for answers about U.S. participation in war on Lebanon and mass forced displacement of civilians in Lebanon and Iran. AFAIK the admin has not responded. It's time for the House to up the ante.
I had a good convo w/ @RepBeccaB last month about #WarPowers Resolution to stop ALL U.S. participation in Trump-Bibi war on Lebanon. Unfortunately she hasn't yet publicly pledged to stand up to U.S. participation in the genocidal war. Call ]Congress at 202-224-3121 #VTpoli ⬇️
We agree. We need a bipartisan, commonsense approach to ending this war. We can spend our time blaming one another, or we can spend it working for a solution. We prefer the latter.
The House is voting again Wednesday on the Iran war. Let's make this happen. #WarPowers
"The best outcome now is to negotiate in good faith and end this war as fast as possible"

Action Corps expresses its deepest condolences to the victims of the attack at the Islamic Center of San Diego.
Authorities are currently investigating this heinous act as a hate crime.
Islamophobia is a wicked evil that has no place in our society.
⭕️ Three adults were killed in the shooting attack at the Islamic Center of San Diego, including a mosque security guard whom police say likely prevented an even larger massacre.
San Diego police said the two suspected shooters, ages 17 and 19, were later found dead inside a vehicle several blocks away from apparent self-inflicted gunshot wounds.
Authorities confirmed all children and staff at the mosque’s school complex were safely evacuated or locked down without injuries.
Police and the FBI are investigating the attack as a potential hate crime.
