Spanish PM SΓ‘nchez responds to Trump:

"Spain is against this disaster... Govts are here to improve people's lives... It is absolutely unacceptable that those leaders who are unable to fulfill that mission use the smoke of war to hide their failure, and in the process, fill the pockets of a few."

I was yesterday years old when I learned the phrase 'movement narcissist.' And yes, hmm mm. We don't have time for that nonsense.

I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves.
Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone.
That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins.
If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after.

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.

I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.

The facts suggest two interpretive frameworks for Iran: a foreign war as a mechanism to destroy democracy at home; and a foreign war as an element of personal corruption by the president of the U.S.

Sen Jack Reed, the top Dem on Senate Armed Services: β€œAgainst the clear wishes of the American people, President Trump has thrust our nation into a major war with Iran β€” one he never made a case for, never sought congressional authority for, and for which he has no endgame.”

They dropped Mr. Shah Alam at a closed Tim Horton's. Wearing a hoodie. In Buffalo in February. Let's not pretend those CBP agents didn't know what they were doing. Federal agents killed this man. It used to be called a 'starlight tour.'

CBP agents detained Nurul Alam, then released him in the parking lot of a Tim Horton's. Nearly blind and with limited English, without resources in winter weather, Mr. Alam died. Come stand with our Rohinga neighbors.

Five members of the US Men’s Gold Medal Hockey team have refused Trump’s White House invitation.

Four of them are from Minnesota.

This is how you resist.

You don’t participate in misogynistic locker room talk.

You don’t disparage other members of your sport.

You don’t visit fascists.

Get some perspective, @NYPD. People are having a snowball fight. Elsewhere we are tearing families apart, traumatizing children, kidnapping people, and failing to hold obscenely rich men accountable for their obscene actions. But sure, get het up about a snowball fight.

Local zoning is the way! A lot of these are being stopped or stalled by neighborhood organizing.

These warehouses often need to be purchased, permitted, approved for occupancy and specs. Each one of those steps can be interrupted.

Ppl are pressuring corps not to sell, counties to deny permits, etc
