Israel supporters: "Just go to Gaza"

Palestine Supporters: "With pleasure"

"On this day 64 years ago, Patrice Lumumba was killed by the CIA and Belgian forces.

Today, we honor Lumumba's legacy of anti-colonialism, anti-imperialism, and the fight for dignity and self-determination for oppressed people."

NO MORE MONEY FOR THE WAR MACHINE!

April 15, 2024, Tax Returns are Due to the U.S. Government. This year and every year, hundreds of billions of our tax dollars are funneled into the war machine, bringing death and destruction to the people and the planet. We have a duty to put an end to the atrocities that we're funding.

These are five things that will actively build the world we want to see every single day. These are things that the war machine is unable to stop.

Say the names and share the stories of Palestinians in Gaza as much as possible.

Talk about the contradictions as much as possible, with everyone you know.

Fight the urge to be anti-social.

Be your politics.

Keep doing the things that make you happy. We need it for the long haul.

She is my hero. As an artist, I’m in awe of how many creative ways she infiltrates congress to try to get their attention.

Code Pink: Women-led grassroots organization opposing militarism and war.

This is an amazing program and the campaigns are outstanding. They are a bit too local but new chapters should be created all over the world. Natanael

"It's palpably obvious that the chorus of left-wing "peace activists" opposed to U.S. military aid to Ukraine are painfully detached from reality.

They're just lazily recycling 70s Era slogans from Vietnam and Nicaragua and misapplying them to a completely dissimilar conflict."

Chester A Arthur, Twitter #CodePink Yes...yet ANOTHER Leftist group 🙄

"Stop the genocide. 15,000 children are dead because of you. You're a murderer."

@codepink-for-peace activists confronted US Vice President Kamala Harris on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"

They were forcefully removed, assaulted, and illegally detained by the show's security.

People I talked with while protesting at Trump's military parade:

The plumber from Hawaii who I believe to be an Obama-Trump voter that was radicalized to right-wing nutjobbery out of frustration with Obama's response to the housing crisis

The libertarian dad from Missouri who agreed with the anti-war part of my sign but said he didn't trust the government with the "feed the poor" part

The extremely nervous left-liberal teenager from California who hesitantly came up to talk shit about Trump with me because he liked my sign

Two different Army officers who shook my hand and thanked me for being there (I think that this was mostly for show, but that it also reflects a genuine annoyance among some Army brass at Trump for his handling of this event (and at Secretary Hegseth for being asleep at the wheel))

CODEPINK folks (always a pleasant encounter, to be clear, but how do they manage to show up to every political event in DC? Unmatched batting record in that regard)

A Washington Post reporter who was a pretty good interviewer. I'm guessing she was relieved to find me so that they can have some "both sides" fodder for their coverage of this event, because a second WaPo reporter noticed my sign and tried to do their own interview a few minutes later

Two old lefties who gave me a thumbs up and then discussed some of of their own work in the anti-war movement

Two friendly hipster photographers who took shots of me (on film) for a project they're working on; I asked if I could see it when it's done, and they said "Ok, so we don't really know what this project is yet..."

A Democracy Now reporter, yet another welcome presence in what was otherwise a generally hostile environment.

Most of the vitriol directed at me was just in passing, people throwing out some gotcha retorts at me while I was walking by. The people willing to actually stop and chat are always more cordial, even the people on the right

"To the St. Louis Board of Aldermen:

After decades of continued exposure to chemicals in St. Louis, there is another proposed hazardous chemical facility in the works – Israeli Chemical Limited (ICL). Not only do the chemicals and weapons produced in this facility pose another risk to residents of the St. Louis Metro Area, but they are also produced using our tax dollars to continue the Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine. With a second ICL Facility constructed in St. Louis, we would be added to the list of military retaliation zones. St. Louis didn’t ask for this. We call on you to halt the plans to open the facility. As of right now there is not an active resolution to block the development of this facility -- we call on you to introduce such a resolution and actively work to stop it. We don't want ICL anywhere in Missouri!"
