Protests to take place in Massachusetts, across country in response to air strikes on Iran

Iran has threatened retaliation on the United States for the move.

I see that the chicken hawks are out in force. Let them cheer on war because they know that they’ll never be on the front lines. I bet these are the same people that claim to “support our troops”… The only thing you support is sending them to their desths.
