STOP ICE Karen (Not That Karen)

Trump 2.0:

-Bombed Iran (twice), Venezuela, and Yemen
-Allowed Israel to repeatedly violate a ceasefire and kill civilians
-Ripped healthcare and SNAP away from millions
-Deployed masked ICE agents to terrorize American cities

The "Peace President."

Trump in 2024: "I will fix everything in 24 hours!"

In 2026: "Biden's policies are all-powerful! He controls everything and always will! My
policies are weak, like blind kittens! I am helpless before mighty Biden! Also everything is fantastic so SHUT UP!"

There was never any policy coherence to Trumpism beyond Trumpism’s immediate gratification: submit and be abused, or refuse and suffer the consequences.

Back in 2003, in making the case for war in Iraq, the Bush administration emphasized facts that turned out to be wrong. "The Trump administration, in neglecting to make the case for war against Iran, has put itself in a position where it can’t be proved wrong—but it also can’t be proved right."👇

The Cover-up Continues Where is Jane Doe #4's FBI statements? Key documents involving allegations against Trump are missing

🚨"My family in Iran doesn't like the regime but what Iranians distrust more than their own government is America. Most Americans forget: We ended the Iranian experimented democracy in 1953." -One antiwar protester in Chicago told Status Coup's @jtcestkowski.bsky.social ⬇️

...of murdering innocent people in the streets and terrorizing communities throughout the nation.

A graphic showing a statement from DNC Chair Ken Martin on Trump's military action in Iran. The text of the first two paragraphs reads, “Overnight and without congressional approval, Donald Trump initiated major combat operations against Iran. Trump himself said that this operation is ‘massive and ongoing’ and he expects there may be American casualties. I am praying for the safety of our men and women in uniform, of Americans and their families in the region, and of innocent civilians."

Overnight and without Congressional approval, Donald Trump initiated major combat operations against Iran.

Read my statement below.

I join fellow Americans in mourning the deaths of three servicemembers and praying for five servicemembers who were seriously wounded as a result of Donald Trump’s reckless war of choice with Iran.   Trump owes the nation, our military families, and Congress an immediate explanation as to why he’s pushed us into a new war.

My full statement:

LINDSEY GRAHAM: Our goal is to make sure Iran cannot become again the largest state sponsor of terrorism.

WELKER: Does the the president have a plan to guarantee that happens?

GRAHAM: No. It's not his job.

A Federalism Bottleneck? The Subnational Levers Constraining ICE

New from @splawinski.bsky.social at Can We Still Govern: To stymie ICE, look at the sources of its power.

That includes money but also co-operative 287(g) agreements with state and local govts.

Blocking and reversing those agreements weakens ICE capacity. 🧵

Dems in Michigan tell me they will make an issue out of Trump's crazed aggression toward Canada by highlighting the material damage it's doing. There are at least 3 competitive House races there, so this could have a serious impact. 3/

There were def people in Washington who advised Trump not to do this, basically saying, "hes 90, hes had cancer twice, hes going to die soon anyway. Dont make him a martyr for the cause". He didnt listen.

US moving pregnant immigrant girls to Texas to avoid providing abortions, critics say Ex-official calls transfer of unaccompanied girls as young as 13, many pregnant due to rape, a human rights violation

Unaccompanied children as young as 13 who are pregnant, often from rape, are being moved to Texas so the Trump administration can avoid getting them access to abortion, critics say. My latest: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The FBI being on high alert for terrorist actions is important right now.

Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity

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).

This is how Trump’s ambassador to the UN responded to news that three U.S. service members were killed and multiple others injured

The problem with this godsforsaken country is we make it completely optional for boys to become decent human beings.

Mark Warner: "I saw no intelligence that Iran was on the verge of launching any kind of preemptive strike against the United States. None."

A PSA from Thomas Massie:

Speaker Joseline Peña-Melnyk at her swearing-in ceremony

A special happy Women’s History Month to Speaker Joseline Peña-Melnyk, who made history just months ago as the first Afro-Latina Speaker for Maryland House of Delegates.

Let’s all call Massie today and get him to switch parties. Then force Gonzalez to resign. Then get the gavel, issue some subpoenas, and impeach some motherfuckers

I prefer non-lethal distractions from the tRUMPSTEIN Files like renaming the Gulf of Mexico, making Canada the 51st state & buying Greenland. Sure it was hugely offensive to longtime friends & allies, but at least no one died.

Lindsey Graham: "'America first' is to kill people who wish us ill with a record of trying to destroy us and the region"
