"I'm out here as a veteran because I think we have a particular awareness and a particular stake in service. Service to our country, service to the Constitution, selfless service."

Public Citizen president Rob Weissman set the tone for the day, telling the cheering rallygoers, 'We have to persist to end this illegal, unconstitutional, and devastating war on Iran—and make sure that Congress does not give a penny more to pay for or extend this war.'

Rutgers professor Eric Blanc noted that the war is unpopular, with under 40 percent of Americans backing it. 'Why then has there been so little collective protest against the US-Israel offensive?' he asks.

The reckless murder of more than 150 little girls in the name of liberating Iranian women fills you with rage. The worst part? You and I literally paid for this.

Let every round find its mark against the enemies of righteousness and our great nation, Hegseth said in the prayer service. Give them wisdom in every decision, endurance for the trial ahead, unbreakable unity, and overwhelming violence of action against those who deserve no mercy.

A key reason so many young people in the 1960s threw themselves into the fight against US military involvement in Vietnam was that the civil rights movement had recently demonstrated the power of mass action.

I think a lot of people are not ready to be mobilized or to be planning and thinking about what is next and what to do - just watching in horror.

Today every senator, every single one, will pick a side: Do you stand with the American people who are exhausted of forever wars in the Middle East? Or stand with Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth as they bumble us headfirst into another war?

United States President Donald Trump launched the Board of Peace on Thursday, saying it's one of the most consequential bodies ever created in the history of the world. This is all part of the agreement to reach a ceasefire in Gaza after more than two years of Israel's genocidal war on Palestinians in the territory. Trump said the board will work in partnership with the United Nations to address crises far beyond Gaza.

Good's death led to surges in support and interest in rapid response and immigration enforcement legal observer training in the Bay Area. Francisco Herrera, the co-director of the Nuevo Sol Day Labor and Domestic Workers Center in San Francisco - which is co-organizing Tuesday's march - called the killing a "public execution," and a "deliberate attack to intimidate our communities right out of the workbook for dictators in Latin America."
