“But nuclear war!” That’s not what’s gong to happen. What’s going to happen is that we will kill people. Those deaths will multiply incalculably from disease, starvation, environmental damage, destabilization. We will create generational trauma. We will erode humanity. A few men will get richer.

The United States should not wage war against Iran. Donald Trump’s bombing of Iran is unconstitutional. Only Congress can declare war — and the Senate must vote immediately to prevent an another endless war. This is a horrific war of choice.

If Donald starting a war without Congressional approval isn't an impeachable offense, what is? Well, other than all the other things he does . . . like kidnapping Americans and disappearing them without due process.

Not that things have been good before today, but it’s likely that there will be increased forms of violence toward people in the US who are, or are assumed to be, Iranian. And toward any who publicly challenge US actions in Iran. Ramp up support, protection, and loving kindness.

People need to be getting pissed off about this one and voicing it. This is greed. Protected public lands are something to be preserved for current and future generations. Once they are gone there is no going back. Once they crack open the door for this more greed will kick in

To be really clear: The reason members of Congress can't just walk right in is because of the guns. Armed DHS personnel won't allow entry. In other words, DHS is using armed force to break laws. Democrats need to wrap their minds around that. Accept that the frog is boiled.
