Stand With Pope Leo XIV — End the Iran War standwithpopeleo.com

In a political career defined by grotesque statements, this president’s horrifying, illegal, and genocidal threat this morning is among the most dangerous and appalling. You can’t shout “fire” in a crowded theater and a president cannot be allowed to threaten genocide with the United States military. Threats of war crimes and disregard for human life must be met with accountability under the law. Trump must go—and Republicans, whether in the Cabinet or Congress, must join Democrats in using any and all constitutional powers at our collective disposal to end this illegal war and take the gun out of this madman’s hands.

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.

The Vice President is abroad campaigning for a dictator. The President is threatening to wipe out an entire civilization. Congress is on recess. This is a total collapse of American moral leadership — at a historic scale.

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it. This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this. Trump's recklessness is needlessly putting our brave service members in harm's way, destroying America's global standing, and making life even more unaffordable for the American people. We must all stand against this and oppose funding this illegal war of choice.

While the world focuses on the destruction in Iran, we must not ignore what Israel is doing in Lebanon. 1,461 have been killed. 4,430 have been injured. 1.2 million have been displaced. Israel now occupies 14% of Lebanon. Enough is enough. No more US military aid to Israel.

Regardless of whether it’s all talk, when the leader of our country expresses plainly genocidal intent, everyone has to do something. For citizens of all political stripes, it means rejecting this madness. For Congress, it means taking action to rein him in. Now.

9 years ago. @HillaryClinton warned us: “This is not someone who should ever have the nuclear codes – because it’s not hard to imagine Donald Trump leading us into a war just because somebody got under his very thin skin.”

How could anybody - democrat, republican or independent - think that this looks normal? Images like these will be held up to future generations as an example of an authoritarian period in our history and it will be a shameful one. Deeply shameful. Video credit to Status Coup.

When you have about 20,000 armed, masked men who refuse to identify themselves driving around the country in unmarked vehicles, randomly asking people at gunpoint what kind of American they are, it is just a matter of time until everything spirals out of control.

@Bradford4D13 Beautiful tribute.

Thanks to Faithful Friends Pet Memorial Services LLC for ensuring Gulliver would be home for Christmas

This is so impressive. See comments for more photos!

@Bradford4D13 I’m so sorry to hear this Russ. 😢 Gulliver certainly looked like the bestest. Thinking of you, friend.

After 17 years, I had to make one of, if not, the hardest decisions of my life. Goodbye Gulliver, you were the bestest cat. Thank you for everything. 🌈🐱#CatsOfTwitter #RainbowBridge

This will never not be hilarious to me!🤣

Feeling proud. Go Navy!

@michael_asbell We go way back. Jennifer is absolutely fine and I agree with you 💯.

@michael_asbell I think angry people look for people like you Michael. There will always be that one. It most certainly does not diminish your goodness. It just exposes their sadness.

@trublu24 Oh no! This makes me so sad. I know progress is inevitable but this one just hurts a little bit more.

Thank you @nashtnregister and @Brendahhaywood for your support to the program!

Wow! Last night, @DC4DrugCourt celebrated 14 program graduates, 11 advances to aftercare, and one GED. Many Alumni, friends, family and supporters came to celebrate these accomplishments! @bradschmitt delivered an inspirational address. Wonderful night!
