Wow so you’re telling me everyone who cheered on the Iraq war is on board with this now too? And so are the people who opposed the Iran nuclear deal and killed it? You’re kidding.

They’re going to try to make you feel insane for opposing this war. They’ll ignore protests and downplay any opposition. They’ll try to strongarm you into submission. They did it with Iraq and they’ll do it again. And then a few years later they’ll pretend they were with you all along.

If people really find this to be such an easy conclusion, then Congressional authority should be easy to get. So why don’t they insist on a vote? They know this isn’t “progressive” resistance. They want to marginalize it as such because on top of this war being ILLEGAL, it’s also deeply unpopular.

@aoc.bsky.social is 1,000% right! You can't take the power away from Congress to start a war with no evidence, until you make it up over the weekend.

Really the only thing members of congress can do is call for impeachment because trump's attack on Iran is illegal. Without GOP support, though, those things can't happen - but that shouldn't stop them from calling it what it is.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

Is it too late to give Sacha Baron Cohen an Oscar for this? Not a damn lie told. 🇺🇸

A president bombing a foreign country without congressional approval is ILLEGAL.

Gentle reminder that @stlcitysc.com kicked me out of their stadium last week for protesting this current President that’s trying to be a dictator (peacefully a group of 6, but I was the only target), and I still haven’t heard from them about a resolution.

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.

FUN FACT: Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

Why are no headlines focusing on the unconstitutional and dictatorial nature of this action?

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

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

Sayed Naser served as a U.S. military interpreter in Afghanistan. Now he’s being deported. The Taliban assassinated his brother and kidnapped his father. All because he helped us. Why are the feds trying to deport him, even though his asylum case is still pending? Not justice, it’s a betrayal.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 97 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

ICE looking more and more like the American Gestpo.

🤨

BREAKING: The Organizers of one of the most successful protests in recent US history, the No Kings protest, have just announced the "Good Trouble Lives On" protest on July 17th July 17th marks 5 years since the death of John Lewis, who coined the phrase "Good Trouble" Who's in? 👋

What's the difference between Gestapo and ICE? Gestapo showed their faces when they demanded to see your papers.

I keep expecting the economy to crash because things are so out of balance. It’s like a washing machine heavy on one side just banging and banging. The real question is when will it break? It’s such a complex system and people think simple answers will suffice.

Thank you #America Thanks Rachel @maddow.msnbc.com

It’s actually terrifying that instead of passing laws to require ID & badges for law enforcement @marshablackburn, Speaker Sexton, Jack Johnson & the @TNGOP are going to criminalize transparency and put the law behind masked vigilantes in unmarked vans disappearing people by force.

This is BEFORE #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer When is enough enough, @MarshaBlackburn @SenatorHagerty ?

I can't say it any better.

Okay. The world can see this. Why it so hard for 30% of Americans to continue holding out hope a leopard will change it's spots?

We need to investigate the shit out of the election results

Yassss! Go Team 💙
