Veterans who fought America’s wars are warning us again: this is illegal aggression, not “security.” Sanctions kill, blockades are war, and Venezuela is the next Iraq lie. Withdraw the armada. #NoWarOnVenezuela #VeteransForPeace #AntiImperialism

The WA state chapter of Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-WA) put out a statement on Zahid's abduction by ICE.
They note that he is a US veteran who uses a wheelchair. He's lived here legally for 20 years. His wife ran for political office last year. Zahid is an active anti-war activist and is a member of Veterans for Peace.

For over 600 days, the Israeli flag flew over #BroomeCounty Jail — a violation of #NewYork state law. #VeteransForPeace stepped in, threatening legal action, and within six days, Sheriff Fred Akshar took it down.
The flag’s presence was a symbol of support for #Israel’s ongoing assault on #Gaza and part of Akshar’s broader pattern of aligning with Trump-era, anti-immigrant policies. Now the Sheriff owes an apology for using county property to push a political agenda.

@realTuckFrumper No surprise. Just as Trump destroys everything he touches, he will break the military as well. #JoyMetzler #VeteransForPeace #VFP

Very proud to see my old client Lt. Joy Metzler be on #DemocracyNow, along with #KathyKelly (a hero of mine for more than 20 years --- her speaking at the old Cornerstone Festival circa 2001 was a major nudge in my life towards law school and peace activism) and Mike Ferner of #VeteransForPeace.

@bruno_j_navarro Fortunately for me they didn’t draft anyone born in 1954. What a terrifying day. What disastrous U.S. involvement. Doesn’t appear that U.S. policy makers learned a thing. Defense contractors and arms merchants really made out. Just like they always do. #VeteransForPeace #VFP
