'Saturday night owls open thread: In 70 cities, 1000s of Americans protest against war with Iran.' Daily Kos, Jan. 4, 2019.

> Jake Johnson at Common Dreams writes—Thousands Take to Streets in More Than 70 Cities Across US to Protest Trump's "Reckless Acts of War" Against Iran:

Thousands of people in dozens of cities across the United States on Saturday took to the streets to condemn the Trump administration's "reckless acts of war" against Iran and demand that the U.S. withdraw its troops from the Middle East.

From New York City to Chicago to Arkansas and more than 70 other locations around the U.S., demonstrators rallied against the assassination of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani, a move that sparked widespread fears of another catastrophic Middle East war.

"The American people have had enough with U.S. wars and are rising up to demand peace with Iran!" tweeted CodePink, an anti-war group that helped organize the nationwide demonstrations. Wow!!
