A Planetary Citizen

@DanielMillerEsq Radical hope is called for in these dark times. We acknowledge our anger, sadness, and fear, but refuse despair, channeling our pain into resistance and working for a better future--even in the face of extreme uncertainty--for ourselves and for the sake of our children.

I don't know that words will ever be able to adequately express how insane it feels to sit at a desk and respond to trivial emails while the President of the United States threatens to destroy an entire civilization.

Even if Trump is "bluffing," the US may never come back from this. Whether you voted for him or not, the rest of the world sees this guy as our collective will. To everyone else, we are a landmass teeming with viciousness. We have a very high bar to prove that's not true.

BREAKING: Some military commanders may be preparing to defy unlawful orders that disobey the U.S. Constitution, according to retired Lieutenant General Mark Hertling, per MS NOW.

Catholics around the globe are calling for JD Vance’s excommunication from the Catholic Church after he suggested Donald Trump could use nuclear weapons against Iran tonight.

@DemocraticWins @MalcolmNance This is huge? Forgive me for not cheering. We have a broken and useless system that didn’t anticipate that fully one side of Congress would be rotten to the core and do everything to keep a war criminal in power.

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, JB Pritzker just became the first Governor in America calling for the invocation of the 25th Amendment. This is huge.

Congress needs to pass an emergency Bill stating the President has exceeded his authority under the War Powers Act and Ordering the U.S. Military to Stand Down without a Declaration of War by Congress.

The President of the United States is a madman.

I don't know about you, but I've read the Strategic Bombing Survey from World War 2. Bombing civilian targets isn't getting you regime change. Didn't then. Won't now.

President Trump has done the impossible: He has caused some Iranians to rally around a despised regime.

@suestroud @Sean17Henley @Amockx2022 Not going to happen. It would take the VP to initiate this and the Republican Congress to vote for it. We all know they won’t. They’re rotten to the core.

@Sean17Henley @Amockx2022 Americans need to do this.

BREAKING : Canada 🇨🇦 PM Mark Carney gave belt treatment to Trump 🇺🇸 Trump at 9:00 AM –– Hinted at possible Nuclear weapon usage against Iran to finish Iranians civilization 🇨🇦 Carney at 9:15 AM –– 🔥 "The US dare not target any civilians or infrastructure in Iran. International law must be respected at cost" 🔥

@Sean17Henley @Amockx2022 Disappointing. For a moment I saw a sliver of hope.

@Amockx2022 I agree with our Prime Minister, however Trump will unfortunately not be held to account if he commits war crimes. The ICC will not hold him accountable as the US, Israel & Iran are not signatories to the ICC. I'm not even sure he would be tried in the Hague.

@Amockx2022 Strong leadership speaks when it matters. Mark Carney just drew a clear red line , international law isn’t optional, even for the most powerful. The world needs more voices like this to stand up to reckless threats by Donald Trump.

@Amockx2022 @paladine What does this mean, exactly, if the monster in chief continues his war crimes. Can some country do a “Venezuela” on him?

If you are in the US military please watch this before this evening. PLEASE REFUSE ILLEGAL ORDERS.

@Mikel_Jollett We have to face the facts.our tools are trash. All that was needed to break them was a Republican Congress full of cowards and power maniacs.

He’s alienated all of our allies, fired all the top generals and lost touch with reality. He is confused and spinning out of control, threatening to murder MILLIONS of innocent people. This is mad king shit. We are a DEMOCRACY. We have the tools. He must be removed from office.

@travisakers @TeresaC123 Not going to happen. Republican Congress is rotten and so is the VP who would need to invoke the 25th Amendment. Any other ideas?

I choose my words intentionally. I detest hyperbole. And I believe I am a reasonable voice who presents facts in a measured, responsible, and level-headed manner. To say what I am about to say weighs heavily and is not said lightly or with partisan bias. It is time for the 25th Amendment to be exercised and Donald Trump removed from office. He is destroying our country and has destabilized the entire world. His actions are reckless and are directly endangering the lives, prosperity, and security of Americans. This cannot continue and is unsustainable in the current global environment. In addition to his erratic behavior, I believe he is suffering from dementia and is unable to carry out the Constitutional duties required of the President of the United States of America. I call upon Congress and the President’s cabinet to stop this madness now, before it is too late. (This is my personal opinion and does not necessarily reflect that of my employer, DoD, or any organization I am associated with.)

Why is the Vice President of the United States actively interfering with foreign elections

A war powers resolution will not be enough. Yes. We need to assert congressional authority and stop this illegal war in Iran. But, Trump is clearly an unstable warmonger at odds with the will of the people. Removal is the top priority. No more war criminal in the White House.

This is a threat of genocide and merits removal from office. The President’s mental faculties are collapsing and cannot be trusted. To every individual in the President’s chain of command: You have a duty to refuse illegal orders. That includes carrying out this threat.
