- Excellent article that all Friends should read.
- The attempted cultural genocide carried out through Indian Boarding Schools is one most shameful yet little-known chapters of US history. But as FCNL's Rachel Overstreet writes in @friendsjournal.org, we must not allow "shame to cloud our judgment or slow our feet" in acting to address its legacy.
- Reposted by Bridget MoixPresident Trump’s claim today that the United States will “run the country” following this attack is deeply concerning and a clear violation of Venezuela’s sovereignty. Our full statement:

- Reposted by Bridget MoixI just came out of the briefing with Sec. Rubio and Sec. Hegseth on the military strikes in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific. Here's what I learned. Bottom line: there is no legal or national security justification for what they're doing. Not even close.
- Reposted by Bridget MoixNew from @bridgetmoixfcnl.bsky.social: Pres. Trump's "racist policies, dehumanizing rhetoric and militarized approaches both at home and abroad far outweigh his claims of being a great peacemaker."

- Taking part in war should never be automatic.
- Reposted by Bridget MoixNew: 68 years after its founding, the Justice Department's "once-revered" Civil Rights Division is facing "near destruction," 200+ former DOJ employees warned.

- Reposted by Bridget Moix"Congress has both the authority and the moral obligation to act when American citizens are killed abroad with impunity," FCNL's @hassaneltayyab.bsky.social said.

- Reposted by Bridget MoixAs the deadline to prevent a gov. shutdown approaches, Congress can and must pass legislation that: 1. Keeps the gov. open. 2. Prioritizes the needs of working families & protects the most vulnerable. 3. Ensures key funding is protected from Trump's authoritarian efforts to override Congress.
- War is not the answer and the president doesn’t have the right to kill anyone he wants. Congress must step up and reclaim its constitutional authorities to end this endless warmaking.
- Thank you @schiff.senate.gov! Executing civilians suspected of crimes is an appalling and brazenly illegal abuse of military force. Congress must exert its constitutional authority to stop these lawless killings.
