The Women of Greenham Common The protest at Greenham Common influenced a whole generation of women. It taught us about collective action, imaginative non-violent ways of protesting and gave us the confidence to use our own unique voice.

Eisenhower - a man who knew first hand the cost of war - unlike those who have never experienced yet advocate it.

A photo of the front cover of issue 1670 of Private Eye magazine, with the caption β€œon shelves now.” The main headline reads β€œTRUMP ATTACKS IRAN,” with a subheading β€œHOW OPERATION EPIC FURY UNFOLDED.” The cover features four photo panels set in the situation-room with US political figures seated around a table. Speech bubbles add dialogue: β€œIs the Supreme Leader dead?” followed by β€œNo, Trump always looks like this!”; β€œMission accomplished!” answered with β€œYes, I’ve killed the Epstein story”; β€œWhat happens next?” with the reply β€œPopular revolt and regime change,” and a follow-up, β€œIn America?”; and finally, β€œWhy have you started this war?” answered with β€œSo that I can stop it,” alongside β€œI’ll ring the Nobel Committee.”

Rossacroo woods in Kerry is overrun by invasive sika deer, making natural regeneration of trees impossible.

A new fence will change that for some years, as another did in the past before it was breached, as this one inevitably will be.

Our native forests need natural predators like lynx back.

Text: The American people are once again dragged into a war they did not want by a president who does not care about the long-term consequences of his actions. This war is unlawful. It is unnecessary. And it will be catastrophic.
Just this week, Iran and the United States were negotiating key measures that could have staved off war. The President walked away from these discussions and chose war instead.
President Trump flippantly acknowledged the possibility of American casualties, stating "that often happens in war.”
Mr. President: this was not an inevitability. This is a deliberate choice of aggression when diplomacy and security were within reach. Stop lying to the American people.
Violence begets violence. We learned this lesson in Iraq. We learned this lesson in Afghanistan. And we are about to learn it again in Iran. Bombs have yet to create enduring democracies in the region and this will be no different.
In moments of war, our Constitution is unambiguous:
Congress authorizes war. The President does not. I will do my part to uphold our Constitution by voting YES on Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie's War Powers Resolution. Every member of Congress must join us in rejecting this aimless war.

People from around the world are helping Ukrainian Warriors who defend our country from Russia’s aggression.

From camouflage nets to vehicles, fuel, food, and everyday essentials - this support saves lives.

We are deeply grateful.
