The largest human protest OF ALL TIME, around the world, Peacefully, was The Women's March, on the day after Trump was inaugurated in 2016. I am a woman who participated, and will again. I also went to Washington DC protest Brett Kavanaugh.

We do not fight for a king, we fight for freedom and the constitution!

Our current president, the great loser, started a war for only one reason… So that the country would stop talking about the Epstein files!

This will not work!

He will fail at this as he fails at everything else he tries!

Trump's illegal Iran War is destined to end in failure. Already, hardline leadership is emerging that will be more hostile to America than the leaders we killed. And there is no way to eliminate their nuclear program with a bombing campaign. This whole war is pointless.

Our politics are fundamentally corrupt. And our economy is rigged against working people because of this corruption.

5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open.

Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.

4/ Ok, so what ARE the goals? It seems, primarily, destroying lots of missiles and boats and drone factories.

But the question that stumped them: what happens when you stop bombing and they restart production?

They hinted at more bombing. Which is, of course, endless war.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

How Trump and His Advisers Miscalculated Iran’s Response to War

NEW: Before the Iran War, Trump ignored warnings that Iran could retaliate across the region and stop oil shipments. Now, with energy markets in chaos, some aides are pessimistic about the lack of a strategy to end the war. But they haven't told Trump. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/10/u...

Trump Generating His Own Fog Of Disinformation About Iran War George W. Bush’s false claims about Iraqi β€œweapons of mass destruction” generated scandal. Trump’s open lies about his war with Iran are barely generating a shrug.

NEW -- Remember Joe Isuzu? The ridiculous pathological liar in the commercials?

Would we have ever put him in charge of the military and let him start wars whenever he wanted?

Well, we pretty much did.

NOBODY - even those here "without papers" - should receive the kind of treatment that #WesleyPowers - an American citizen - did.

Noem may now be gone, but the cruelty and brutalizing remain.

Americans can barely afford their medicine, gas or groceries.

And instead of trying to make life more affordable, the president is spending billions on a war of choice with Iran.

We will use every tool we can to bring the war to an end.
