UPDATE: At least *60* members of Congress have now signed on to efforts against the Trump-Vance admin's war on Iran.
59 Democrats. 1 Republican.
After the attack, Democratic leader Chuck Schumer announced support for the War Powers Act and is urging all senators to vote for it.

I worry that escalating war with Iran will be used to whip up more fear and hate for non-white immigrants, particularly those of Arab descent, and be used for unjust deportations.

Informing only Republicans before bombing Iran isn’t a “mistake.” It’s a federal violation. 50 U.S.C. § 3093 requires bipartisan notification—And Trump knew exactly what he was doing when he broke that law.
Charge him. Now.
Charge him. Now.

By the way, the US striking Iran’s nuclear facilities and infrastructure gives Russia the green light to strike Ukraine’s nuclear facilities & infrastructure. This is another reason it’s forbidden under international law. Trump is escalating danger everywhere.

what people seem to believe is that there is a large number of criminal, layabout immigrants who can be easily found and deported. they support doing so snd are dismayed by the deportation of otherwise law abiding people. the problem is that the criminal group is imaginary!
Wow. New CBS poll finds majority (55%) supports the *general goal* of deportations, but a bigger majority (56%) dislikes how Trump is carrying them out. And 63% want due process.
Again, we need a better discourse around public opinion on immigration, as I've argued:

Trump should be impeached for directly violating the US Constitution and removing a person using a punitive action without giving them the due process the Constitution entitles them to have.
He's stated his intent and is unrepentant.
That SHOULD result with separation from Office.

Do not obey in advance!
When Donald Trump took office in January 2017, he was greeted by massive demonstrations. Millions participated in women’s marches in Washington, DC, and elsewhere, with more protests to follow, giving rise to a resistance movement.

Last Friday, Trump's EPA shut down a Biden-era website mapping locations of dangerous chemical plants.
The chemical industry, which gave over $1M to Trump's inauguration, heavily lobbied the Trump administration to scrap the website. See how this works?

The Government’s Chemical Disaster Tracking Tool Just Went Dark
The chemical lobby demanded Trump make the locations of high-risk chemical plants secret. The EPA did just that.

NEW: DHS has admitted for the first time that it sent Mr. Prado to El Salvador, in a statement which accuses him of being a gang member.
The man never once got a trial on this issue. No judge ever found him to be a public safety threat or a member of a gang. No due process. No nothing.
