A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.

We mustn’t let this war do so.

Never, ever go to #Costco for gas on a #Sunday ⛽

Yeah, except for the fact that on two previous impeachments, #MangoMussolini escaped unscathed, so why not try a different approach this time?

I second that emotion 🏍️

“Only Congress can declare war, so none of the President’s actions here are acts of war…”

The historical rhyming couplet to “if the President does it, it can’t be a crime…”

The Trump regime must be stopped.

Yep, and that's your political metaphor for today, kids.

Self-expression matters,
let your voice be heard! 👀

Just this week:

- Administration is caught hiding evidence Trump sexually assaulted a 13 year old

- Pentagon demands AI companies allow it to use AI for mass surveillance and killer robots

- Trump launches unconstitutional war against Iran

- Pro-Trump oligarch buys CNN

UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres: “Military action carries the risk of igniting a chain of events that no one can control in the most volatile region of the world"

The U.S. Senate must be clear: no war with Iran.

Literally

I would concur.

Hegseth just shot down a DHS drone with a laser because he thought it belonged to a Mexican cartel, but let’s let him preside over a radical shift to unrestrained AI on our most advanced weapons systems. What could go wrong?

Same.

And now, a moment of Zen... 🎧

WHOA! 👀

Read it again. We killed 85 schoolgirls this morning.

Which is worse: the 1️⃣4️⃣ year old tweet or the 1️⃣4️⃣ year old girl? 🤔

Both seem inappropriate for any involvement by the #DearLeader

Nah, the actual thought process would make him more destructive than he already is.
