A lot of what’s happening doesn’t seem to be spreading anymore by mainstream media. A tree that stood for an estimated 150–250 years was destroyed today to make way for Trump’s border wall.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness. You could be next.

DNC Chair Ken Martin's statement on Trump's unilateral act of war with Iran.
In January — speaking to the entire nation at his Inauguration - Donald Trump proclaimed ‘We will measure our success not only by the battles we win, but also by the wars that we end, and perhaps most importantly, the wars we never get into.’

Today, against his own words, the president sent bombers into Iran. 

Americans overwhelmingly do not want to go to war. 

Americans do not want to risk the safety of our troops abroad.

Americans do not want a president who bypasses our constitution and pulls us towards war without Congressional approval.

Donald Trump needs to bring his case to Congress immediately.
