We condemn todayโs US-engineered coup in Venezuela. We reject a return to twentieth century gringo interventions and coups in Latin America. We stand against against US imperialism and interventionism; we stand in solidarity with the Bolivarian revolution!
The US created the Taliban to fight the Soviet Union in the 80s, murdered thousands and displaced millions of Afghan civilians in the โWar on Terrorโ, and now thinks itโs cute and relatable for USAF to tweet buzzfeed shit during 17th year of this failed war.

Mayor Adams is on a foreign propaganda trip meeting Israeli settler leaders legitimizing war crimes, ethnic cleansing and apartheid. Meanwhile weโve been talking to thousands of New Yorkers who are clear we oppose subsidizing violence against Palestinians!
While visiting with Israel's far-Right government, NYC Mayor Eric Adams met leaders of illegal Israeli settlements, and toured the settlements.
Letโs be clear: He toured the sites of war crimes.
The Not On Our Dime! Coalition condemns Adamsโ shameful trip and statements.
Grateful to
@nycDSA
rep
@AOC
for her principled stance, who along with
@JamaalBowmanNY
were the lone 2 NY reps to boycott Herzog's address to Congress and also vote against this absurd resolution that denies the clear reality of Israeli apartheid and racism against Palestinians.
Palestinians face brutal violence while the US funds the Israeli occupation with $4B/ year. States like NY are also complicit by subsidizing settler orgs that abet war crimes.
This is why we're organizing for the
#NotOnOurDime
bill to end NY's complicity:
Israel has launched the biggest military operation in the occupied West Bank in 20 years against the city of Jenin, killing at least 8 Palestinians and injuring more than 50 others.
Israeli soldiers also shot and killed another Palestinian near Ramallah.
Retired Gen. Lloyd Austin, once viewed as a long-shot candidate to be President-elect Joe Bidenโs defense secretary, has been chosen to lead the Pentagon
Resolution 0285 to end the embargo on Cuba is close to passing city council!! Send a message to
@CMChiOsse
thanking him for his support and urging him to push it to the floor for a vote!
Like Republicans, establishment Dems in Albany are happy to defend illegal Israeli settlements violating international law. But New Yorkers don't want our money subsidizing war crimes and human rights abuses overseas.
Tell your legislator
#NotOnOurDime
:
Thereโs a legislator in Albany who doesnโt believe in Israelโs right to exist.
Thatโs why 25 of us are condeming his bill that would stop NY charities from helping victims of terror in Israel.
True chutzpah: he introduced this law while rockets were raining down on civilians.
Tonight American imperialism, capitalism and racism manifest in air strikes on Syria. We absolutely condemn warmongering in Syria under Trump AND Obama. Humanitarianism means borderless socialism, not imperialist intervention by the insatiable war machine.

#EndCOVIDSanctions
Good riddance to the chief architect of Trump's brutal "Maximum Pressure" sanctions regime, which continues to have devastating consequences for the people of Iran and Venezuela.
The US, the only country to ever use a nuclear weapon, is rotten. We are overrun by warmongers & profiteers desperate to destabilize the Middle East. We condemn Trumpโs withdrawal from the Iran deal, and stand in solidarity with those oppressed by US empire.
CW: graphic violence
This should dispel any doubts as to whether Israel intentionally targets Palestinian civilians with military force. Ignoring the IDF's routine war crimes against the people of Gaza has allowed this behavior to fester and spread. Now we have a "knee record."
โKnees were the hardest thing to rack up. There was a story about 1 sniper who had 11 knees all told, and people thought no one could outdo him.โ Eden says broke the โknee recordโ in โ18. โOn that day, our pair had the largest number of hits, 42 in all.โ
