Trump’s war of aggression on Iran is strategically catastrophic, legally impermissible, and morally abominable. Thousands of families have already been devastated throughout the region so Netanyahu can play emperor.
This war needs to end, now.
There is an authentic pro-democracy movement in Iran that protests against their repressive government and fights for genuine change from within, & this movement is undermined every time an imperial outside force bombs Iran & kills Iranians in the false name of “freedom.”
Here are 4 Americans whose families have been devastated just because Trump wants to help Netanyahu play emperor of the region.
Hundreds of Iranian families, including the parents of 100+ little girls, have also been destroyed for the same reason. Thousands more to come.
Unforgivable!
Israel has been continuously bombing Lebanon almost every day for over a year. Anyone who tells you “Hezbollah broke the ceasefire” is either lying to you, or is just so incredibly biased that their brain genuinely doesn’t register Israeli bombings of Lebanon as ceasefire violations.
5) We can still stop this war: This is a deeply immoral and unpopular war, and Trump is a narcissist who is obsessed with his popularity, which means if the American people become sufficiently vocal against it, we can pressure an end to the death & destruction. Let's do that.
4) This war will likely be catastrophic: This is the most consequential war of my lifetime (much bigger than Iraq). Everyone is "all in" b/c the region will never be the same after this, so we're on the escalation ladder, which means massive death & destruction.
3) This is a war for Israel: Trump's demands were designed to be unacceptable to Iran - a choice between complete surrender to Israel's dominance (requiring Iran to dismantle even conventional deterrence capabilities against Israel) or war. This reveals the real goal of this war.
2) This is a war based on lies: The nuclear question was already solved by Obama in 2015 (verifiably preventing Iran from ever getting nukes), & Trump's repeated claim that Iran wouldn't renounce nuclear weapons is a bald-faced lie designed to sell a war under false pretenses.
1) This is an illegal war: U.S. law requires congressional authorization for starting wars (Trump didn't seek or get it), and international law bars wars of aggression, which this was since there was absolutely no direct threat from Iran that justified military action.
5 things to understand about the war on Iran 🧵
Donald Trump & Israel have started an illegal & completely avoidable war on Iran based on lies. It's not about the nuclear question (solved by Obama in 2015), it's about regime change to complete Israel's regional dominance. Thousands of people will die, & the world will never be the same again.
If Trump triggers a catastrophic regional war by attacking Iran, be on the lookout for Israel to escalate its genocidal ethnic cleansing of Palestinians under “the fog of war.”
Total impunity for Israel is not guaranteed post the Trump regime, so Netanyahu feels the pressure to act soon.
If 26 Americans or Israelis or Germans were murdered today, it would be the top headline on every network.
They keep telling you “the war is over” while this happens, because their idea of a peaceful, “normal” order is one where Israel gets to mass murder Palestinians at will.
My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.
BREAKING: A Palestinian infant has died due to the severe cold gripping Gaza, as a shortage of aid caused by Israel’s restrictions and a lack of heating continue to worsen living conditions.

Reflect for a moment on the stupidity of looking at Trump's oil theft in Venezuela, his kidnapping of migrants who die in ICE custody or get exiled to torture gulags, his support for Israel's ongoing slaughter of Palestinians, & STILL concluding he's worried about Iranians' safety & freedom.
I know there's a thousand of these shameless self-contradictions that are fun to mock, but it's hard to laugh at this one, as the unhinged emperor sets the stage for what could be the deadliest blunder in American foreign policy in decades.
Oh yeah for sure. Definitley try to get non-insured individual pricing at your local hospital. Definitely a Good Idea.
Welcome to 2026, where attempting to drive away from scary men with guns is vicious terrorism, where shooting a mother through the side window of a car is self defense, and where a shooter walking away unharmed is magically fighting for his life in the hospital.
Well, 2026 is off to an insane start.
President Eric Cartman, commander-in-chief
of the most powerful fighting force ever, just casually kidnapped a foreign leader & took control of his country, openly for the purpose of getting our companies in to extract their oil.
We live in an SNL skit, but w/real consequences for millions of ppl.
W/out congressional authorization or popular support, Trump bombed Venezuela’s capital & kidnapped its president, just weeks after Trump admitted on TV that this is about taking Venezuela’s oil, & after months of theft & murder on the high seas.
To call this admin “lawless” is an understatement.
Confronting a congressional candidate whose campaign is built on a message of hate:
The President is not only making the murder of Rob Reiner about himself, but is seemingly suggesting he had it coming on account of Reiner’s criticism of the president.
This is deranged and disgusting behavior.
Pause & reflect for a moment on how literally the most sinister & powerful forces in our country got together to coordinate & bankroll a MASSIVE smear campaign to defeat Mamdani, & they failed.
Just when things in this country & around the world looked bleak, a glimmer of hope.
Israel’s torture chambers are now beyond the reach of the Red Cross:
The size of the #NoKings uprising across the country today is another glimmer of hope that, even in the face of this authoritarian regime’s crackdown on our people & it’s unprecedented assault on democracy, the fight for a better future in America is alive and well. 👊
Saying Trump deserves the Nobel peace prize for stopping the genocide he was arming & funding in Gaza as he keeps it occupied is like saying a wife-beater deserves a feminism award for agreeing to stop beating his wife to a pulp every night & locking her in the bathroom instead.
I wanted to come up with an appropriate rejoinder to these despicable, genocide denying words from Jared Kushner. But I can't put it better than @omarbaddar.bsky.social does right here.
Telling CNN what the ceasefire agreement after 2 years of genocide will mean for Gaza, & how keeping the boot of occupation on the necks of Palestinians will never bring true peace or security for Palestinians or Israelis.
