Quaker Lobby Condemns Attacks on Iran and Calls for Deescalation, Diplomacy, and Congressional Action | Friends Committee On National Legislation Washington, D.C. – The Friends Committee on National Legislation (FCNL) strongly condemns the U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran and the dangerous pursuit of a war of regime change.

With this immoral and horrifying war, President Trump violated the Constitution and is endangering millions of people across the Middle East, including tens of thousands of U.S. service members.

Congress must reassert its authority and immediately pass resolutions to stop this disastrous war.

“We Belong to Each Other Now”: Lessons from Minneapolis “This extreme closeness, togetherness and intimacy — you cannot infiltrate your way into a space where you'll understand that," says May, a rapid responder in Minneapolis.

After months of relentless rapid response in Minneapolis, members of Defend the 612 had a moment to breathe and reflect on the lessons they’ve learned, the grief they carry, and the citywide fellowship they hope will endure. The crisis is not over, and I’m grateful they made time to speak with me.

And there were at least five from @thirdactwisconsin.bsky.social among the singers.

A rare bit of good news on a Monday morning.

Thank you senator Baldwin. As a former federal employee I hate to see a government shutdown but shutting down funding for ICE is so important.

Heartbreaking. Horrible. Shameful. That people paid by our taxpayer dollars, under the direction of our federal government, are doing this to people in our country.

Protesting fascism on my 66th birthday makes a sound bite on the local news. It was my way to observe the anniversary of what we must acknowledge is a fascist regime. #freeamericawalkout

Opinion | In Minneapolis, I Glimpsed a Civil War

I went to Minneapolis last week. What I saw was horrifying and inspiring in equal measure. Gift link to my latest column: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/19/o...

We just saw this, and it’s a good idea for businesses to post. Private businesses are allowed to set dress and conduct rules. Requiring no full face coverings has long been standard for safety and loss prevention reasons, and it is within a business’s rights to refuse entry or service.

This is emotionally intense and lasts 12 minutes but I still encourage people to watch it.
