GOP Lawmakers Watch Silently As Trump Strangles Each Of Their Loved Ones In Turn theonion.com/gop-law...

Hi, No news organizations should be calling these masked individuals “ICE Agents” until they are able to independently confirm that they are who they purport to be.

This goes hard, but the metaphor is on point

Trump regime ICE troopers attacked an elderly woman (legal resident) selling tamales, they manhandled her so violently that she fainted, then threw her on the ground and stripped her, she had to be hospitalized. She received medical help after US citizens intervened. #StopICE

A Dem lawmaker and her husband were killed by a guy for their political views and it’s already out of the news.

congress is more popular than this war and i don’t know any better way of describing just how unpopular it is

WATCH: “This is f*cking kidnapping! That’s not your badge… I do have a little bit of education… get the f*ck out of here, racial profiling is illegal…” A brave woman melts ice 🧊 💪🏽 www.instagram.com/reel/DLOWbEs...

Sadly, the weak, compliant reporters in the mainstream media won’t stop. After all, they don’t want to lose “access.”

One of the towns Trup is bombing, Isfahan, is home to most of Iran's Jews.

Some people aren't old enough to remember endless debate in Congress about going to war with Iraq after 9/11. Endless. Because Congress had a say so. Because we had a Constitution. Yeah, fun times, then. Now one dude with dementia and a small dick complex just decides for himself.

I’ll say it again: It was a huge mistake for Congress to abolish itself.

I know this can sound kind of silly at a time like this, but doing a war without congressional authorization is ample grounds for impeachment

And this right here!!! ⬇️

We are not prepared for how bad this bill is. 👇

Just in case anyone wants a reminder of how Trump helped create the situation he's now using as justification to bomb Iran. abcnews.go.com/Politics/ira...

somebody please impeach this rancid motherfucker what is it gonna take

Or at the very least, glitter-bomb them.

Have every war hawk identify Iran on a map on live TV. Bet you most will fail.

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

The authority to wage war rests with Congress. This impeachable action is the reckless behavior of a man granted near-total immunity who feels unleashed to do anything.

When the US government brutalizes people, we're all complicit if we don't speak out & fight back. And that's exactly what's happening across this country. #ICE #secretpolice & cosplaying Nazis are terrorizing folks in our name. Call Congress 202-224-3121 This was in Santa Ana, CA this morning.

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

If Iran is close to a nuclear weapon it is because Trump pulled out of the the deal we had with them. This is a crisis entirely made by Trump.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Iran’s stockpile dropped to 0 after Obama made the Iran Deal… until Trump pulled out of it (against the advice of his own Defense Secretary, General Mattis… because he hated Obama) Feels pretty relevant in this moment.

He broke the law. Again. He breaks it and no one holds him to account. What are we going to do?

Masked ICE agents spotted swapping out license plates this morning in Bell Gardens, CA

hey @nytimes.com what if instead of this you reported accurately that the president of the united states has violated the united states constitution by entering into war with a foreign power without the approval of congress, just like, what if

imagine that Joe Biden had tweeted that he had just BOMBED the shit out of another country and then ended it with 'thank you for your attention to this matter.' Republicans would have burned DC to the fucking ground

We know that Donald Trump doesn’t care about such niceties as the constitutional division of powers and the rule of law. Is the same true for the GOP and for Democrats who don’t speak out against this?

This... 👇

Call it what it is - government-sponsored kidnappings....

No plates again on this Ford SUV. Placeholder plate is from Puente Hills Toyota, who does sell used Ford vehicles. Their phone number is 626-657-2953

Democratic Congressman from Illinois on US attacks on Islamic Republic of Iran nuclear sites. Via Fox News.

Just as Iraq had no WMD, Iran has no nuclear weapons. America has entered another unnecessary war in the Middle East

Long shot, but if anyone knows any internet users, probably better tell them about this www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

"ICE" beating man during arrest in Santa Ana California.

There's no declaration of war, and no AUMF that covers this. Entering this war is wrong on the merits; we had a perfectly peaceful way to address Iran's nuclear program. It's also unlawful. A democratic republic should not be able to enter a war of choice on one man's say-so.

Since January 20th our Constitution has become irrelevant.

Wealthy people do very well in a country with a thriving middle class. But that’s not enough. The wealthy people need to add cruelty to the mix. Why? WHY? What the fuck? Why do people take delight in others’ suffering? Also, #NOTALLWEALTHYPEOPLE

"thank you for your attention to this matter" he says, as though he's an office manager asking staff not to microwave fish in the break room
