The President of the United States is threatening war crimes. That alone is illegal. He is unfit for office. I am urging the entire military command to remember your oath to the Constitution. Do not follow illegal orders. Do not commit war crimes. The stain and repercussions will be endless.
Senate Republicans refused to convict Trump after Jan 6.
Republican SCOTUS appointees gave him immunity.
Republicans in Congress today stand idly by as he unleashes death and destruction across the globe.
We are now at the whims of a mad king because GOP leaders have refused to constrain him.
just to be clear, everyone, when 8 pm EDT comes and goes, regardless of what does or does not happen, the president still threatened genocide and war crimes and we should still impeach, arrest, and try him
"Why don't Americans-" The ruling class of America has intentionally disempowered its citizens spread across 3,000+ miles of land and then funded the police force as an occupying army that happily murders anyone who opposes them and imprisons whoever is left as slave laborers. So phone calls it is
This is an actual statement from the President of the United States.
This cannot be hand waved away as a joke. The man is threatening war crimes on top of war crimes! ENOUGH!
I don’t say this lightly: The 25th Amendment needs to be invoked. The President needs to be removed!
“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.” -Trump
Article III
The following acts shall be punishable:
(a) Genocide;
(b) Conspiracy to commit genocide;
(c) Direct and public incitement to commit genocide;
(d) Attempt to commit genocide;
(e) Complicity in genocide.
Georgia Voter: It's giving war crime. You can't do that. We don't just annihilate people because we can and, you know, make a grab for the money and the oil. And that's what we've done in Venezuela. And that's what we're doing in Iran.
Four months ago, Senator Mark Kelly and five other Democratic members of Congress issued a video explaining emphatically that illegal orders must be refused by every service member up and down the chain.
Today, we see exactly why they did so.
Meanwhile, House and Senate Republican leaders are silent as Trump is out here threatening the wholesale annihilation of a foreign country. www.huffpost.com/entry/congre... @delaneyrules.bsky.social
Great point by @leighfinke.bsky.social: The President of the United States has threatened the annihilation of an entire country by tonight, and Republican legislators are spending the day… trying to ban trans kids from playing youth sports.
These are really their priorities??
House Democrats are demanding Congress return to session NOW to stop Trump’s plan to commit genocide.
12+ U.S. troops dead. Hundreds injured. Billions wasted. And Trump is threatening to eradicate a whole civilization.
Call Republicans at the Congressional Switchboard: 1-202-224-3121
Democrats have been calling for impeachment, 25th daily on CSpan, in mostly empty chambers, where no Republican will even enter, more less allow debate on the floor. Americans should’ve known that the Big Oil owned, climate science denying, pseudo “Christian” Republicans were CORRUPT! VOTE OUT GOP!!
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.
NOW: B52 bombers are literally in the air on their way to Iran and hundreds of thousands of Iranians are in the streets waving flags and surrounding bridges & power plants.
Difficult to imagine this has any precedent in modern warfare.

The leaders of the free world - leading liberal democracies - have a moral responsibility to organize a world wide boycott of #FIFA #WorldCup games in the U.S. and demand all matches be moved to Mexico and Canada. Same consideration should be in play for #Olympics in LA.
"Eighty-five countries have sought a roadmap to phasing out fossil fuels. A conference this month offers hope they could unite," write Mark Hertsgaard and Kyle Pope of @coveringclimatenow.org
The President of the United States is a madman.
217 republican members of Congress swore an oath to defend the Constitution & carry out the duties of their office.
Is it possible that 3 of the 217 could find a shred of courage to honor their oath by acting NOW to remove tr..p?
Do any of them actually have any honesty?
NEW: Iran-linked hackers are attacking US critical infrastructure around the country, according to a warning from federal agencies and confirmation from the company whose component is being exploited. @agreenberg.bsky.social reports: www.wired.com/story/iran-l...
“.. Strip away the shock value for a moment .. This is not a stray remark at a rally. Nor was it a misstatement quickly corrected by staff. This is a public declaration, .. during an active and escalating international crisis.”

Mike Johnson’s name is ironic considering he’s dickless.
This is the most horrifying, psychotic, grotesque message Trump has ever posted—openly threatening to commit genocide. This is beyond reckless. It’s dangerous, dehumanizing, and utterly unfit for any leader.
The list of Dems that seek to impeach or remove Trump grows longer by the hour 💯
Iran. Is demanding that trumpie step down. A volunteer Canadian Boycott of American Made has achieved in Just over a year. The Department of Commerce to express to Ottawa their concerns about American industry. Now imagine a Worldwide Boycott of American Made. Nothing bought by the Civilians

Screenshot of a tweet by Rep. Ted Lieu stating that U.S. military law prohibits war crimes, including strikes on civilian infrastructure that cause disproportionate harm. The tweet warns that service members must disobey illegal orders and could face prosecution by a future administration if they commit war crimes.
Rep. Ted Lieu isn't backing down.

Miles Taylor: "We’re just three people away from stopping Trump’s madman meltdown. Three. That’s the number of House Republicans who — if they chose to act — could change history. Right now. By demanding he step down, voting to impeach, or flipping control of the House."
Kurt Russell as Snake Plisken dropping the line "Get a new president."
Once again, Snake Plisken is on point.
