As a historian, I'd just like to remind the politicians who follow me that it is not, in fact, 2003 anymore and the current GOP war in the Middle East is not, in fact, even remotely popular.
So if you're a weathervane who just tries to do what's already popular, full-throated opposition is it!
Whether youβre represented by Democrats or Republicans, itβs extra important for your Members of Congress to hear from you right now.
Urge your elected officials to use every lever in their toolbox to put an immediate stop to Trumpβs illegal war with Iran.
A Reuters/Ipsos poll finds only 27% of Americans approve of the military attacks. 43% disapprove.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nationβs people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.
We mustnβt let this war do so.

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

When you think about it for more than 5 seconds, it really is both insane and outrageous that *HILLARY CLINTON* - a woman who apparently has never met with nor corresponded with Jeffrey Epstein was one of the first people deposed.

The chief federal judge in Minnesota has threatened to pursue criminal contempt charges againstΒ ICE and the state's top federal prosecutorΒ if they don't comply with court orders in scores of immigration cases.
At least 97 violations involving 66 different cases have been documented.
the fact the president of the united states is even thinking about asserting emergency powers to disrupt an election - just a few years after he incited an armed coup attempt - should be the top issue. but the media mostly shrugs and the opposition doesnt focus on it.

This is a campaign of retribution. Trump is weaponizing the entirety of the federal government to punish blue states like Minnesota.
These cuts will be devastating for veterans, families with young kids, folks with disabilities, and working people across our state.
