And these are the same snowflakes who couldn’t handle wearing a mask during the pandemic.

Seems important.

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.

Congress was usurped by a dictator.

Gotta love Tammy! ❤️ You go, GURL! 😎✨

BREAKING: Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization says it will not halt its nuclear program following the U.S. attack, calling the strikes a “blatant violation of international law.”

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

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.

Congress? You awake?

Just to be crystal clear: bombing Iran is completely illegal.

illegal war started by a man constitutionally ineligible to be president

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

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)

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?

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

Meant to mention this last week, but if you have a young person in your life who’s into history or graphic novels or just good books, buy them George Takei’s “They Called Us Enemy.” My oldest couldn’t put it down.

This is sick! Have you seen ICE’s TikTok page? Propaganda on steroids, targeting young dudes chasing a sense of power. Edited like war games, built to thrill while dehumanizing immigrants. RECRUITMENT VIDEOS—for state-sponsored vigilantism.

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.

AOC is spot on, as always.

We have a madman in the White House who is actively trying to trigger total war. If Jeffries, Schumer, or any other Democratic leaders try to justify this, shrug indifferently, or write a strongly-worded letter and call it a day, they need to step down or be aggressively primaried.

AOC: Being taken is wrong, it is illegal, it is a violation of his First Amendment rights, it is an affront to every American, and we will not allow—and will continue to resist—the politicization and the continued political persecution that ICE is engaged in.

In Pasadena, protesters ran ICE out of a hotel. The hotel insisted ICE leave. Protesters slashed tires of many of the vehicles and local tow companies refused to assist. /

Funny but true. .

If you weren't ashamed of what you're doing, you wouldn't have to cover your face.

Or at the very least, glitter-bomb them.

Have any members of congress sued over the new illegal ICE detention facility inspection restrictions yet?

Masked ICE agents spotted swapping out license plates this morning in Bell Gardens, CA

2024 was the hottest year on this planet in over 125 THOUSAND YEARS. 2025 is on track to be the second hottest. 1976. WAS. NOT. HOTTER.

JUNETEENTH in Harlem. This is what America is about. Perhaps the most American holiday of all, Juneteenth honors the very best of what this country can be. It’s a celebration of the courage to fight for freedom, even when the cost is steep. It’s sad that the president gets angry over this

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

DONALD ON HIS DEATH BED: "God, am I getting into Heaven?" GOD: "I'll decide in two weeks. Kidding! I don't want you because you're so wicked. And Satan doesn't want you because he's wary of such fierce competition. So we're just going to disappear you. Apologies to America for waiting so long."

How did this imbecile become POTUS not once, but twice???

The right wing and Fox launched a smear campaign against Newsom. In the past, he might’ve ignored it—but he’s seen how right-wing trolls work with Fox to create false narratives. So this time, Newsom responded immediately. No hesitation.

The DOJ is backing Alabama in a challenge to its congressional map. DOJ argues against putting the state under federal redistricting oversight, stating there is no evidence of multiple instances of "pervasive, flagrant, widespread and rampant" discrimination. www.democracydocket.com/cases/alabam...

I am glad that today the governor signed a new law repealing New York's ban on providing food and water to people waiting in line to vote. However, it should be clearly noted that this was the result of successful litigation brought by the Brooklyn NAACP -- which the state fought and lost in court.

Instead of CUTTING Social Security benefits, Congress should INCREASE payments by $200 per month and extend the solvency of the Social Security program by 75 YEARS. How? Make the wealthiest Americans pay a fairer share. I’ve got a bill to get it done.

I’m still waiting for CNN to devote multiple programming days to Trump’s obvious cognitive decline and dangerous mental instability.

just saw a group of masked men stuffing masked ICE agents into an unmarked car, who were saying "we're ICE we're ICE!" but the abductors shouted to the crowd "no we're ICE!" no one knew who was ICE, so no one in the crowd said anything.
