Democrats should say that Trump’s attacks on Iran are unconstitutional.
The American people do not want a war in Iran. The Congress did not authorize a war in Iran. It is an entirely illegitimate action that has no legal or constitutional basis. It is the act of a lawless regime.
Nine months ago, the United States "completely and totally obliterated" Iran's nuclear program.
Tonight, we're attacking Iran to disrupt their nuclear program.
A sizable percentage of this country thinks that's normal.
What you don’t see, and don’t want to, are the images of children’s body parts being pulled from the rubble.
This is deeply wrong and grossly unconstitutional; only Congress has the power to declare war, barring an invasion.
Will the adults in the room with any morality please stand the hell up?
In competitive authoritarianism (US right now) there's often a "loyal opposition" that's essential to the regime. They are so wedded to "decorum," they go along with rites & rituals that help regime prop up veneer of normalcy, undermining clear view of regimes actions & aims.
This is intentionally choosing to expose Black babies in one of the poorest countries in the world to a very transmissible virus that can cause long term liver damage for no reason, but to appease a cohort of white anti-vaxxers.
Wow.
A Reuters photographer captured this image of a page from Pam Bondi's "burn book," which she used to counter any questions from Democratic lawmakers during an unhinged hearing today.
It looks like the DOJ monitored members of Congress’s searches of the unredacted Epstein files.
Just wow.

Today, the U.S. is on track to break that record. It’s detaining >70,000 immigrants, many with legal status, and in far worse conditions. And >$40 billion is now earmarked to massively expand facilities.
It was awesome.
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Please do not look away from this crisis. With enough attention and shared humanity, it is eminently -- and imminently -- solvable. www.cnn.com/interactive/...

Denial of intersex people fuels human rights abuses. So if you actually care about other humans, learn to accept and acknowledge who they are -- and appreciate it is often a difficult, sometimes dangerous existence for those who are out.
Sciencey person here who generally + genuinely cares about other humans 🙋🏻♂️
About 1.7% people on Earth are intersex, or about 1 in 50 folks you meet. Statistically, someone in your extended family is intersex.
Denying their existence is grossly incorrect. And cruel. www.ohchr.org/en/sexual-or...
