I’m honored to have been appointed Executive Director of the Center on Conscience & War (@CCW4COs).
With the first US dead in another immoral war, more troops will be questioning their role. Our job is to find them, defend them, and help them come home.

Just this week, two of our clients have received recommendations for approval as Conscientious Objectors; and one returned to their family after filing for CO on an Epic Fury deployment.

"Investigative and emotional, dystopian and comical. For a film about toxic waste and fossil fuel budgets, Earth’s Greatest Enemy has some unexpected reference points. Martin and Prysner name the confrontational humor of Michael Moore, Travis Wilkerson’s experimental political essay An Injury to One, and Ron Fricke’s wordless, music-led Samsara. You can see all three in the way it moves."

The U.S. Army Reserve is examining whether it can provide the military's Southern Command with police forces, medical personnel and other support units within the next four months, according to an internal Army message reviewed by CBS News.
Though the message makes no reference to Cuba, the request is for continued military planning aimed at Cuba, according to multiple U.S. officials who spoke to CBS News under condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.

This is so good and spot on from @AbbyMartin. I've been facing the same weird fascination with Tucker and MTG from ostensibly progressive, antiwar folks at audience Q&As across the country.
A great debunking!

Within the military, opposition to the war in Iran is mounting, leading to a spike in service members looking to become conscientious objectors: thenation.com/article/societ…

“I’d say pro-war sentiment is a lot lower among people in the military than it was during the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan because they’re just confused about why they’re even being asked to make the sacrifices that they’re being asked to make.”

One of the first soldiers to refuse Vietnam service was an Army doctor who said the war was a violation of his hippocratic oath. That spirit is alive and well—the most common job of our CO clients today is military physician. Hear from some of them here:

wow. ICE confirms they have deported the mother of one of the citizen teens arrested by ICE in Texas while trying to enlist in the Marines.
This is shortly after she spoke out about her son's treatment krgv.com/news/mother-of-teen…

I just checked this on a woman I'm writing about and indeed she is no longer showing up in the system. This is insane.
🚨NEW from @AP: ICE is now electronically "disappearing" people in the agency's custody who have final orders of removal.
As of last week, anyone jailed by ICE with a final order of removal will NOT appear in the Online Detainee Locator System, making them effectively vanish.

U.S. had 937 non-combat deaths in the Iraq War—nearly 25% of all fatalities. They’d be alive if they weren’t sent to that bullshit war and it’d have been a crime to hide them for political expediency, which is exactly the reason for Hegseth’s “combat death” caveat here
Exclusive: “Even if we wanted to attempt to hide a combat death, we never would and we never could.” - @SecWar Hegseth responds to allegations of more service member deaths in Iran than reported.
“We never would because of how much we cherish the lives of our service members - every single one of them.”
