We don’t know if we’re safer today—but we do know this president never made the case that Iran posed an imminent nuclear threat.

Remember that video of the masked men who grabbed a man working as a landscaper, was pepper sprayed, violently pinned to the ground and repeatedly struck by unidentified masked men?! His name is Narciso Barranco, and he’s the father of three United States Marines. His sons are very upset.

Last night, Trump said Iran’s nuclear program was “completely and totally obliterated.” This morning, JD Vance says we will “permanently dismantle that nuclear program over the coming years.” Which is it? Sounds like more endless war against the will of the American people.

But I’ll bet the Iranians know.

While the country braces for the possibility of attacks from Iranian sleeper cells, we can all rest easy knowing that Trump’s put this 22 year old former part-time grocery clerk and landscaper, in charge of terrorism prevention. He’s got zero experience. NEVER worked in counter-terrorism. SMDH

Tribal college leaders said they were stunned by the Trump administration's proposed cuts to their already insufficient funding and had more questions than answers. “It’s a dagger, and I don’t know how we can survive these types of cuts,” one college president said.

DHS is looking for former law enforcement, former military, and former terrorism analysts to track migrants in MD, and not to find gang members or drug dealers. Migrants they find at or looking for work. Law-abiding people going to immigration check ins. Parents at elementary school graduations.

Two masked armed men come running toward you. What do you do?

Ranking Member of House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense, Congresswoman Betty McCollum, issued press release: Trump’s unauthorized bombing of Iran was unconstitutional because Iran posed no immediate or direct threat to the USA #ImpeachTrump mccollum.house.gov/media/press-...

Los Angelenos are taking their cities back—in positive ways In a powerful show of unity, Connecting Compton led a horseback ride from Paramount to Compton City Hall to protest recent immigration raids. It began at the Home Depot where a raid sparked unrest and ended with a message of peace.

One thing Democrats need to fix is OUR messaging. See below? MAGA are unified in theirs. What’s our response? I suggest everyone post that Trump’s bombing of Iran was UNAUTHORIZED and UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Even better, attach a news article or Senator’s statement saying those words. Let’s go #NoWar

1/2 Yup. I definitely have TiOS and I bet you do too. June 14 was powerful—thousands showed up, spoke out, and made it impossible to ignore us. But one day isn’t enough. The fight continues—and so do we. Collective action is still the best f*cking medicine. Links in thread VC optimisticsoap IG

For educational purposes PS what Russia has and in which condition is all questionable, at best. Same as the actual number for China.

2002: Iraq didn’t have WMDs but they had a lot of oil — the war cost taxpayers over $1.8 trillion, while generating billions in profits for Big Oil. 2025: Iran doesn’t have WMDs but they have a lot of oil — the 3rd largest holder of oil reserves globally. Big Oil donated ~$112 million to Trump.

By bombing Iran, the Felon has convinced the Iranian Regime why they, in fact, needed a nuclear bomb🤦‍♀️ While the US and Iran were at the negotiation table, and our Intelligence said we were not in imminent danger from an attack, the Felon chose to listen to Netanyahu’s lies. Now war‼️ #ProudBlue

Mayor Bass: Why did Trump’s administration target Los Angeles? The nation’s second largest city? Why the body blows to our economy when we have the fourth largest economy in the world? They are using our city as an experiment. They are seeing if they can get away with it. Your city is next!

no accidents

Farmers own ideology is suffering consequences of their own making. Farmer despise socialism but rely on government assistance. They detest immigrants but only employ them. They deny global warming yet crops continue to wither.

Hmmmmmmm

Right on the money #impeach #resist #nowar #nokings

He was humiliated last weekend. This weekend he bombed someone. My guess is there is a relationship between those two events.

Five things to remember about war:

These are the people @MarshaBlackburn is shamelessly vilifying. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Veterans are asking: "Our military commanders have a duty to disobey unlawful orders. The order to bomb Iran was unconstitutional, Article 1 Section 8. Why the hell didn't they refuse the unlawful order? Why didn't they make him get Congressional approval?"

Americans picturing Iranian bombers being fought off by American anti-aircraft guns forgetting that mere weeks ago a country unleashed drones that had been planted in their enemies country, doing untold damage. Or not considering that terrorists can just put on ICE getups.

WATCH — @underwood.house.gov : “Elderly will lose Medicaid. Nursing homes will close. What are people supposed to do? They don’t care… there’s no way to sugarcoat it - it will be devastating for our communities.” #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer

Bombing Iran is to distract us from ICE which is to distract us from tariffs which are to distract us from the looting of our country

Take note.

Welp.

Trump’s bombing of Iran was reckless, unConstitutional, & met none of the criteria in The War Powers Resolution of 1973 which limits the president’s ability to deploy the military to 3 types of situations: declaration of war, statutory authorization, or national emergency. The USA says no to kings.

Iran might beg to differ.

That Trump statement last night was like horror comedy. Announced military action that he launched lacking any Congressional approval, while slurring and struggling to read his teleprompter, which he claims not to need, and Obama and Biden were bad for using teleprompters. Terrifying.

Medicaid cuts will lead to hospital closures across the country, especially in rural and underserved areas. By showing up at our local hospitals and speaking out, we can hold our elected officials accountable for putting billionaires ahead of working families, seniors, and people with disabilities.

EXCLUSIVE — The Onion has a full-page ad in today’s NYT featuring part of an editorial calling out congressional fecklessness towards Trump. They also sent a copy of their latest issue to every lawmaker. My report, with an excerpt from the full editorial: www.thehandbasket.co/p/exclusive-...

Pete Hegseth: “Many presidents dreamed of delivering the final blow to Iran’s nuclear program & none could until President Trump.” Yes, Pete—Trump finally did what others wouldn’t: ignore intel, destabilize the region, & risk another endless war. Bold move if you’ve learned nothing in 20 years.

Trump illegally launched strikes on Iran—without Congressional approval. This violates the War Powers Resolution and risks dragging the U.S. into another endless war. repyassansari.bsky.social is calling for an emergency session. 📰 www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat... #WePersist #NoMoreEndlessWars

Not “ICE” changing license plates in a back lot. They wouldn’t do that, would they? Maybe the authorities should look into this.
