Stop extrajudicial killings at sea by the US military and stop war crimes. Please: Investigate, use subpoena powers, legislate, rein in illegal wars and take back congressional powers. Use all the means at hand to stop the US command from giving illegal orders. Showing contempt for international rules of war makes us less safe. Not stronger. Please, also, Remove Hegseth. He is unfit in so many ways but overseeing and commanding war crimes is egregious. The UN's top expert on counter-terrorism & human rights, Ben Saul, says the U.S. is committing extrajudicial killings at sea. 211 dead and counting. "Prof Ben Saul - UN SR Human Rights & C says: "I condemn the US military's extrajudicial killing of three civilians at sea on 18 June, taking total US murders to at least 211 people since Sept 2025. I call on States to break their silence and jointly denounce these murders" • U.S. Southern Command @Southcom messaged: "On June 18, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations. Intelligence confirmed the vessel w[as hit]." Hegseth in addition caused loss of life and chaos by dropping flu vaccine mandates. His racist and misogynist interference with promotions makes our military less safe, less fit, less able, and less prepared. Please take action now.
