I am not going to go into the justification of war with Iran, but simply that with limited notification or input from Congress (Republicans only from the reporting I’ve seen), and without a clear provocation on Iran’s part, Trump has launched unprovoked attacks on the State of Iran, an act of war.

I’m back in the hospital. And while I still have a lot to say, it’s best I take time off to recover and let the doctors work. I’ll still be watching. Be safe. Be heard. Resist.

I joined the “No Kings” potest on the Cornell overpass on highway 26 today and it was just what I expected. Peaceful. Lots of original, homemade signs. No violence. And contrary to Trump assertions, no paid protesters either. #nokings #nevertrump

Just a reminder, those people on active duty have to obey orders from their chain of command and sadly DJT sits at the top of that chain. Do not encourage them to break faith. However, my oath did not come with an expiration date, to defend America from ALL enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC.

I’m watching the LA protests and am dismayed by the number of reporters struck by rubber bullets. Are the police firing those rounds being held accountable for the people struck by them? What are the rules of engagement? Do the police using the rounds have to justify their use of them?

A dark day for America as the protests in Los Angeles seem to be moving inevitably to a military intervention and insurrection proclamation by the Trump administration. #LA_protests #nevertrump

With all the sad and disturbing revelations we are now hearing about President Bidens health, it particularly disturbing to note that despite that, he was still a better president in his worst days, than Trump has been so far. #Bestwishesforbiden #nevertrump

I had hoped sanity was returning to the United States in a court overturning Trumps tariffs, but alas that ruling is on hold from an appeals court, but even so it looks like another of a long string of unconstitutional orders by Trump will be biting the dust. #tariffs #overturned #on_appeal #nevertr

Do you prefer the democrats tax and spending to the Republicans borrow and spending?#taxnspend #borrownspend #democrats #republicans #nevertrump

How many times can Trump lie to our faces before he gets called out on it? And just how much is this “free” plane going to cost the United States? Used for one President, then sent to his library? Looks like a bribe, smells like a bribe. What else could it be? #qatar #747 #airforceone #nevertrump

Allow me to introduce my new companion, Angel. There is some debate as to her age, either 6 or 9 years, a mini Australian Shepard mix.

Well, chalk up another win for the Trump administration, moody’s has decided that more continued deficit spending is not conducive to good fiscal management and downgraded the US from AAA to AA1. Are you tired of winning yet? #creditdowngrade #moodys #nevertrump #AAA #AA1

Gulag was defined in my youth as a brutal prison used by communist governments to stifle protest. Today, deportation has been redefined from returning people to their country of origin to life imprisonment in foreign gulags, and the Trump administration is even looking at denying them habeous corpus

I am not going to mince words. The Trump administration threat to remove habeous corpus protections is a existential threat to liberty in the United States and must be resisted at all costs! #habeouscorpus #nevertrump #freedom

Congress does not seem capable of operating within a budget, so maybe it’s time to take that option away. Make tax rates automatically set by the budgets they pass and let’s see how they react when they face the voters over what they spend money on. #deficit #flattax #balancedbudget

I cannot believe the White House staff would demean something as momentous as a popes passing to the millions of Catholics around the world by posting a picture of Donald Trump dressed as a pope. #nevertrump #pope

This is how you deal with a bully! Love her!

Yah, I may have gotten some of my facts wrong in the fbi arresting the Wisconsin judge, so I’ve pulled my video down. I still believe it’s wrong for ICE to be arresting people in certain places. #nevertrump #ice

Arresting judges. Threatening allies. Lying about trade deals. Trying to sell campaign merch from the White House. Floating a 2028 run. Deranged. Dangerous. Undemocratic. We must retake our democracy.

This man was courageous enough to stand up to Trump and Vance. So it's important to post this message and photo to 27 million people. Don't just "like" it -- that only means that YOU'VE seen it. Postb it, blow it up and get it out there! #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦

Went to the town hall in Beaverton today with congresswomen Salinas, Clark and Bonmici. It was informative, the people in attendance were supportive and reacted positively to the information given and questions were handled smoothly and fairly. It was a good experience. #bonamici #salinas #townhall

Fernando Oliver shared this.

At a town hall for Representative Bonamici. Larger crowd than I expected. More later #townhall #bonamici

The part of the golden age they don’t talk about

I want a president who is tougher on Putin than he is on Harvard.

I think questions about the CECOT prison in El Salvador need to be asked. When did Trump contract for this? How long will people be imprisoned there? What gives him the right to imprison people with no judicial findings? These questions need to be answered! #nevertrump #illegalimprisonment #cecot

THIS IS WILD‼️ Florida got $67M from a Medicaid fraud settlement. Instead of using it for actual health care, Casey DeSantis funneled $10M to a “charity” she controls. That “charity” passed it to anti-abortion and anti-marijuana groups—who then helped fund GOP campaigns. Both measures lost!

Different transport. Same cruelty. Project 2025 isn’t policy—it’s a warning. We’ve seen what happens when governments dehumanize people and call it “order.” Never again means never again.
