The 25th Amendment needs to be invoked before it's too late.

Donald Trump repeatedly made a promise to the American people: no new wars.
Now, he's threatening to wipe out an entire civilization.

As an Iranian who stayed connected through Starlink during the total internet blackout, I want to wholeheartedly confirm what President Trump just said: "The Iranian people want to be free. They have lived in a world that you know NOTHING about." For 47 years, my people have endured systematic torture, rape, murder, humiliation, anxiety, suppression, and grief under the Islamic Republic. It’s been a long, grinding suffering — punctuated by brutal spikes like the January protests, mass executions, and now war. The world has no idea of the scale or depth of these horrors. Only when this evil regime finally falls will the full truth pour out — in quality and quantity that will shock humanity. We have now reached a point where almost no cost is too great if it rids us of this regime. Because the cost of it staying in power is infinitely higher. If you’re reading this and you can’t understand how any Iranian could feel relief at their own country losing a war and getting bombed… I envy you. You have never lived what we have lived. You have never watched your people, friends, family, and loved ones get tortured, raped, or killed almost daily and over half a century. You have never seen an entire nation slowly but brutally suffocated like this. We tried every alternative imaginable: massive protests, dissent, peaceful reform, negotiations — everything. None of it worked. The regime’s answer has always been bullets, gallows, and more terror. Now, less than 24 hours before Trump’s deadline, I write this with a heavy heart from inside Iran: Whatever happens next — if there is still an Iran left to save and this regime is gone — the Iranian people will be happy with the result. No matter the cost. Because the cost of the regime remaining is higher, and for many of us, death itself is preferable to another day under this nightmare. This is the true sentiment of the majority of Iranians — the voice of a people who often have no internet, no platform, and no way to be heard. The world will soon understand why we say: Anything to be free. Anything to end this evil. #IranMassacre #IranRevolution2026

Trump believes he is threatening Iran with destruction, but it is America that now stands in danger.
If he attempts to eradicate Iranian civilization, the United States will no longer be viewed as a stabilizing force in the world, but as an agent of chaos—effectively ending our status as the world’s greatest superpower.
This would upend our economy and shatter the global order. The process is already underway, yet we still have time to avert catastrophe if Trump finds the courage to pursue serious negotiations rather than reckless rage and destruction.

I feel sick to my stomach waiting around today to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom that our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's really an indictment not just of the electorate but of our whole system of government. We're ruled by a mad king.

Dear @thejointstaff: The UCMJ and federal law prohibit war crimes.
Obviously eradicating a whole civilization constitutes a war crime.
You must disobey that order.
If you commit war crimes, the next Administration will prosecute you.

Breaking News: President Trump warned that a “whole civilization will die tonight” if Iran does not meet his deadline to open the Strait of Hormuz. nyti.ms/3OlVQES

Garrett News retweetledi
I Back Trump
On Easter morning the president came out swinging with a scorching ultimatum. If the Strait of Hormuz was not open by today, which he calls “Power Plant Day, and “Bridge Day,” he promised to unleash hell on civilian infrastructure.
“There will be nothing like it!!!” Sounding more like a bar room brawler than a statesman, he wrote on Truth Social last week, “Open the Fuckin’ Strait you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in hell--JUST WATCH.”
At tonight’s draconian deadline, Americans will get a true sense of how messy this Iran war is going to get. Since the president has given frequent and ever-changing ultimatums to the Iranian regime it's hard to guess where he's going to land when it comes to following through on his latest threat to wreak havoc.
Surely, he knows that he's not going to make many friends in Iran by blowing up the bridges they need to walk to their marketplace. Under the long-accepted rules of war destroying strictly civilian infrastructure may even be a war crime. But tell that to the people living in Gaza or southern Lebanon or Kyiv. The fact that some noble treaty outlaws certain conduct doesn't make much difference on the ground if your bridge is blown up.
Trump must have figured that if he inflicts enough pain and suffering on the Iranian people, they will have no choice but to overthrow their predatory government. That Regime in Tehran commits war crimes daily. The failed uprisings in December and January show beyond any doubt, that the people of Iran are sick of repression and exploitation. That didn't translate into a successful uprising. Thousands of innocent Iranian civilians were massacred when they heeded the call of Reza Pahlavi the late Shah’s oldest son among others to rise against the regime. Many did. They were cut down.
What should we do about it?
In 2003, remember how shady the evidence was that Saddam Hussein in Iraq had weapons of mass destruction? It was laughable. The WMD’s were nonexistent. Yet most politicians including the Clintons went along with President George W. Bush. Essentially, we went to war in Iraq in 2003 under false pretenses. The evidence against Iran in 2026 is clearer. The Regime has been reaping chaos and mayhem since the ignominious hostage-taking in 1979 and the Marine Barracks slaughter in Beirut in 1983.
Historians and journalists will ultimately unearth why this war with Iran happened when and how it did? What role did the failed uprising play? Did Israel help drag us into another Mideast quagmire? But now, as in 2003, there comes a time when Americans must pick a lane. Our servicemen and women deserve our support. If the Commander-in-Chief insists on taking them and us to war against Iran, then God forgive me, however dubious his bluster I back Trump. The Regime must go.

When Trump pussies out tonight, his message will go something like this:
"I am pleased to announce that Iran has agreed to save the lives of its great and wonderful people and make a deal! Therefore, I am postponing the Total and Complete Devastation of their bridges and nuclear powerplants for one week. There is still a chance for Iran to become a respected country, the likes of which the world has never seen, if they do the right thing. We have already won this war, Totally and Completely. Do the right thing! Thank you for your attention to this matter!"
What do you think? Did I miss anything? 😏
