BREAKING: Larissa Waters, Australian leader, calls Trump’s bombing of Iran “a blatant breach of international law” and “a fundamental threat to world peace.” This isn’t diplomacy—it’s Iraq déjà vu with nuclear stakes Allies are already using war crimes language www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

I'm pretty sure Kamala Harris wouldn't be bombing us into an illegal war right now

💯. There is no strategy, only impulses to quench an unquenchable narcissistic thirst.

May the powers that be protect our troops on bases in the Middle East. 😔

"This case highlights the significant threat posed to U.S. citizens by frequent ICE errors, which are exacerbated when local law enforcement agencies participate in immigration enforcement...” www.bet.com/article/6rdn...

"Both Democrats and Republicans in Congress are questioning the move... "NPR has heard from more than 50 veterans around the country in recent weeks who say they are upset. About 80,000 vets in the US are behind on their mortgages and heading toward foreclosure..." www.npr.org/2025/06/19/n...

“History, despite its wrenching pain cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage need not be lived again.” Maya Angelou op: @nytimes.com

BREAKING: I just offered an amendment on the floor to give Veterans fired in the Trump-Musk layoffs their jobs back. Every single Republican blocked it. Shame on them for betraying our heroes.

Trump bombed nuclear sites in Iran without a vote. No debate. No check. Just fire. AOC says it’s grounds for impeachment. She’s right. This isn’t defense. It’s dictatorship with better branding.

Congress? You awake?

"Trump has spent the last five months vowing that the Ukraine-Russia war would never have happened if he was president, vowing that the Israel-Gaza war would never have happened if he was president. And yet the reality is that not only has he not avoided war, but he’s plunged us into a new one."

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.

Sen Bernie Sanders reacted in real time—fierce, unwavering, and absolutely right—calling out Trump’s unconstitutional and illegal act of war on Iran. This is a flagrant abuse of power. Every Republican enabling this lawless escalation must be hounded and held accountable.

My colleague laying it plain. Thanks @senangusking.bsky.social

Senator Tim Kaine issued a statement condemning Trump’s unauthorized act of war against Iran. Kaine filed a resolution requiring Congress to debate and vote before sending U.S. troops into harm’s way. @kaine.senate.gov

illegal war started by a man constitutionally ineligible to be president

Well...

I am at a loss for words! The amount of hate & political violence seems never ending when it comes to Trump & his people. There is literally NO good that he brings out of people… just darkness. We need compassionate & educated warriors, leading our nation not incompetent hateful assholes!

“No New Wars” turned into “Let’s bomb Iran” real quick. It’s almost like the Trump regime is ideologically captured by the military industrial complex…

And just like that, the ‘No New Wars’ people are all-in on a new war. Proving yet again that they really believe in nothing other than what one man tells them to believe today. Which could be different tomorrow. The very definition of a cult.

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?

My statement on Donald Trump’s unilateral military action in Iran.

Trump bombing Iran was illegal and unjustified. I ran for Congress to make sure our leaders consider the true costs of war. And I will be in the Senate, standing on my titanium legs, demanding answers from Trump. My statement:

President Donald Trump and his team were in contact with top congressional Republicans before US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, but top Democrats were not told of his plans until after the bombs had dropped, according to multiple people familiar with the plans

⚠️The crisis is clear: Trump is dangerously escalating towards war with #Iran while undermining our democracy. @jessicadenson07.bsky.social and @therealjackhopkins.bsky.social discuss the importance of seizing this moment to initiate his constitutional removal. Removalcoalition.org

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

Here is yet another reminder that the Constitution is not optional… Congress must authorize military force before any president—including Trump—launches a strike.

Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

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

BREAKING: Self-Proclaimed “Peacemaker” Drags U.S. Into Another War Trump does bidding on Israel’s PM Benjamin Netanyahu and bombs Iran. Former Pentagon official predicts the U.S. may be entering into a new round of the Forever Wars. theintercept.com/2025/06/21/i...

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE MUST STAND FIRM. We must not be dragged into Netanyahu’s illegal war against Iran.

Netanyahu was wrong in 2002. He Is wrong now.

Democrats cannot complain about Trump’s authoritarianism while ignoring their own constitutional responsibility regarding taking the country to war. Democrats must support Sen. Kaine’s War Powers Resolution. The U.S. must not get involved in Netanyahu’s war.

BREAKING: In a unanimous decision, a federal court of appeals has ruled that Louisiana's law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms is unconstitutional. We’ll keep saying it: Public schools are not Sunday schools.

Michael Pham fled Vietnam at the age of 13. He was named bishop of San Diego a month ago. Today, he stood watch at a courthouse: ICE agents were “standing there covered with masks as we walked toward the courtroom. Eventually the agents scattered and went away” timesofsandiego.com/life/2025/06...

The Los Angeles Dodgers announced today that the organization will donate $1 million to immigrant families impacted by recent raids.

Mark Hortman was a selfless husband and a dedicated father. He always put his family above himself and everyone who knew him knew that he was Melissa’s rock. He was a great friend to Gwen and me, and we will miss him deeply. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/0...

Save the dates: 7/4 & 7/17, our next days of action! 🚨 On July 4th, 50501 chapters will be hosting a community day of action. Some will also be protesting on the 4th. On July 17th, 50501 chapters will be organizing a mass mobilization in coalition with other orgs. Some may also host community aid.

You lazy fucks aren’t working enough.

“When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world won’t just know peace— it’ll breathe again. No more boots on necks, bombs in skies, or borders drawn in blood. Just humanity, finally choosing heart over empire.” #Peace #Truth #Resistance #RevolutionOfLove

Today we celebrate our freedoms, and remember the incredible fortitude and determination it took to secure them. I know our ancestors work is unfinished, but if we draw on their legacy we can continue to carry the torch. Happy Juneteenth!
