Trump is claiming his strikes on Iran made the American people safer. He is dangerously wrong. I served two combat tours in Iraq and am now on the Armed Services Committee. His actions were not only unconstitutional, they have made America less safe – not more. Here’s why: 🧵

From the Cato Institute; this one is worth reading. Topline: "nonpublic data from ICE indicate that the government is primarily detaining individuals with no criminal convictions of any kind." Don't let their lies dominate the narrative. www.cato.org/blog/65-peop...

all i want is to one day own a modest sized home in a walkable neighborhood and raise money for shelter animals. wear an outfit i like, walk to the grocery store, buy some nectarines, feed cats, and live in peace. just don't understand why achieving this is so hard

I feel so much safer knowing that 22-year-old Thomas Fugate, a Trump mega fan, is bringing his vast landscaping and grocery clerk experience to the terrorism prevention arena, now that our country faces a possible Iranian terrorist attack. It’s all good, America, carry on with your Sunday!

I'm a human rights lawyer. I have represented immigrants & asylum seekers my entire career. As you see ICE increase its attacks on immigrants, here are steps you as a US citizen can take to be an ally & protect immigrants from ICE and CBP absue.

Is now a good time to note that the god of Islam, Judaism, and Christianity, are one and the same: they all worship Yahweh, god of Abraham, the Warrior God of Antiquity. This sounds ridiculous, and primitive, and profoundly stupid, because it is. The world is warring over ancient myths. Again.

"ICE’s lawlessness has incentivized good samaritans to resist their enforcement efforts....you think to yourself: 'Will there be a legal process? Or am I the very last person who has a chance to intervene on this person’s behalf?'"

War with Iran would be the most catastrophic US foreign policy decision since the invasion of Iraq. It would give Trump vast new authoritarian powers. Americans of both parties oppose it overwhelmingly. So why are Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries so silent? www.nytimes.com/2025/06/20/o...

It is alarming that they are not ringing the alarms. I do not want to hear a replay of the drumbeat for the Iraq War - when Republicans led and the media and many Dems danced along. We need vocal, moral, rallying, decisive leadership against war with Iran, and we need it ASAP.

A common denominator for Republicans and Dems either backing the strike (Fetterman, Torres etc) or limply demanding more info is AIPAC support Republican Rep: Massie says AIPAC constantly attacks him because “they’re afraid the truth can be contagious”👇🏽 Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DLNDDCU...

KTLA: “I have no doubt it’s racially motivated.” A US citizen in the parking lot of a Home Depot was tackled to the ground, detained, locked up for 24 hours for filming ICE smashing a man’s window. He plans to sue. (From @keithboykin)

The U.S. Senate is currently considering a budget reconciliation bill that quietly includes language that could devastate our public lands. It would: - Make over 250 million acres of public land eligible for sale - Mandate the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and BLM land

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? ~ Robert Reich

Some U.S. media (such as the Washington Post here) trace U.S.-Iranian animosity back to the 1979 Islamic Revolution, conveniently forgetting that the CIA helped overthrow a democratically elected Iranian government in 1953, forcing Iranians to endure decades of the Shah’s brutal rule.

I'm surprised Faux News is running this story. Co-sponsors of the War Powers Resolution, Reps. Ro Khanna, D-Calif, & Thomas Massie, R-Ky., were quick to criticize Trump for greenlighting attacks on 3 nuclear sites in Iran Saturday night. DAMN STRAIGHT! 1/3 www.foxnews.com/politics/unc...

Any argument for how the Democratic party enabled Trumpism must wind through letting Andrew Cuomo return to power where he will certainly enable Trumpism.
