19 years ago, the 2001 AUMF was signed into law, leading to unspeakable violence & wasteful spending. It’s past time Congress repealed this blank check for endless wars.
The bombing of Gaza shows how flimsy the “peace deal” signed in DC was. You don’t bomb to celebrate peace. Israel has been bombing Gaza, already threatened by COVID and a debilitating blockade, for weeks. Leaders in the US should oppose the escalating war. dailysabah.com/world/mid-east…

On this date in 2001, the House passed the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force (#AUMF). With this vote, lawmakers paved the way for 19 years of endless war. Throughout this week, we'll be tweeting about what these AUMFs have cost us---and what Congress should do now.
