How strange. After eight years of near-silence, the anti-war movement is being heard from again.
Hallelujah. And I mean that in all sincerity. I hope it's heard from more forcefully every single day.

Now that's "reaching across the aisle" I can get behind.

Tulsi Gabbard told Trump to ignore the “drumbeats of war that neocons have been beating”
“President-elect Trump asked me to meet with him about our current policies regarding Syria, our fight against terrorist groups like al-Qaeda and ISIS, as well as other foreign policy challenges we face,” Gabbard said in a statement after her meeting with Trump:
“While the rules of political expediency would say I should have refused to meet with President-elect Trump,” Gabbard added, “I never have and never will play politics with American and Syrian lives.”
I felt it important to take the opportunity to meet with the President-elect now before the drumbeats of war that neocons have been beating drag us into an escalation of the war to overthrow the Syrian government — a war which has already cost hundreds of thousands of lives and forced millions of refugees to flee their homes in search of safety for themselves and their families.
