Per @jonathankarl.bsky.social: Trump thinks heβs invincible and that no one can stop him. He also indicates that Trump arrogantly refused to accept concessions with Iran.
This lunacy has to stop π
Medical experiments on prisoners?
Where have we seen this before?
TOMORROW: Hear from activists, foreign policy experts, and Members of Congress who are calling for immediate de-escalation in Iran and demanding immediate action to rein in Trump.
Weβll discuss actionable next steps and launch a nationwide push to tell every elected official no more endless wars.

Since 2024 alone, Citizens has helped CoreCivic and GEO Group access more than $2.5 billion in financing.

"The attack came despite US intelligence assessments that Iran was unlikely to pose an immediate threat to the US mainland within the next decade."
So why do it?
"A weeks-long lobbying effort by Israel and Saudi Arabia..."
Ah. Not just weak, but cheap, too.

Susan Collins needs to see us united against the tragic, stupid, ill-conceived bombing of Iran.
She has the power, as a swing vote in the U.S. Senate, to bring this to an end.
From immediate oversight, to forcing a vote on a War Powers Resolution, to restricting or cutting off funding for unauthorized hostilities, our Members of Congress must use every lever in their toolbox to put an immediate stop to this war.
Make sure your elected officials hear from you.

If you are feeling helpless in the face of All Of It (and it's a lot), I am telling you: find a way to plug in locally.
Figure out who is doing something-- anything-- meaningful, and see if you can help.
The first org you find may not be the one. But you will get there.
It will help your heart.

Donald Trump is dragging the United States into a war the American people do not want. Let me be clear: I am opposed to a regime-change war in Iran, and our troops are being put in harmβs way for the sake of Trumpβs war of choice.

Donald Trump does not care about civilians in the region or the safety of US Troops.
Heβs illegally bypassing Congress and starting a war with Iran that has already killed dozens of children. This is unacceptable.
Congress must take action to rein in Trump and save lives.
