NO WAR IN IRAN This carousel breaks down why U.S. military escalation in Iran is illegal, dangerous, and harmful to everyday people, and it covers what we can do to stop it. We support Iranian self-determination, and we oppose U.S. militarism masquerading as "liberation." Swipe to learn more about what's really happening and to learn why Congress must act. bit.ly/ bit.ly/EmailNoWarlnlran
581 SANCTIONS WERE ALREADY A WAR. NOW THE BOMBS ARE FALLING. The United States has helped fuel instability and economic devastation in Iran for decades. The U.S. waged a de facto war through sanctions that harmed everyday Iranians, limiting their ability to change their own country. People have the right to self-determination: to refuse becoming rule by a dictator, monarch, or an American-backed puppet. But you can't exercise that right under thousands of pounds of rubble. • bit.ly/CallNoWarlnIran • bit.ly/EmailNoWarlnIran
IMPERIALISM HARMS EVERYDAY PEOPLE. EVERY SINGLE TIME. The United States uses "regime change" as a pretext for imperialism. It is not remotely concerned with the freedom of the Iranian people. It is starting an endless war in the Middle East for power and to justify oppression at home, and ordinary Iranians who were already crushed by sanctions will continue to pay the price. Empire promises liberation, but it always delivers destruction. • bit.ly/CallNoWarlnIran • bit.ly/EmailNoWarlnIran
THIS IS THE IRAQ WAR OF OUR TIME. AND IT'S ILLEGAL. Yet again, the White House is launching military action without clear congressional authorization. We've seen how this ends in Iraq, in Afghanistan, in Libya, in Venezuela. The list goes on. Most Americans do not want another war. This fight is winnable, but only if Congress reasserts its constitutional war powers. • bit.ly/CallNoWarInIran © bit.ly/EmailNoWarInIran
No war in Iran. We condemn Trump’s illegal action and call on Congress to put a stop to this.

Touching moment as 2 young men were released from detainment at Whipple last night. As always, thank you to Haven Watch for welcoming people home.
What’s one way we can rein in ICE?
We can start by boycotting ICE’s corporate collaborators that are profiting from the agency’s cruelty.
Watch.
The new Epstein files production features numerous allegations made against Donald Trump and others.

A drawing of Alex Pretti carrying an old person wrapped in an American flag. He is saying - ‘Don’t worry. I’ve got you.’
If this doesn’t tug at your heart, make you well up with sadness, you are not human.
ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.
We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.
Minneapolis resident Patty O’Keefe, who was violently arrested by ICE, says one agent told her that "obstructing" agents is "why that lesbian bitch is dead,” referring to Renee Good.

These abductions don’t always make headlines, but they happen every day.
Hey Dems, when we ask you to do something we want you to do something.. where are you? Get the police to free these Americans!!!!

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

KUDOS to Hilton Hotels & Resorts for doing the right thing and standing up against the terror caused by DHS and ICE thugs by canceling their hotel reservations. Way to say "ICE is not welcomed here"!
We are looking more like Russia, every day.
If you bend the knee it will get worse, even. We can't.

A moving ceremony at the State Capitol this evening as friends and neighbors sent a an unequivocal message to those who've come to town to terrorize us. HEY ICE: you're not wanted here!
