Repost for the evening crowd! We’ve had a great first day of support, and this train’s just getting started. If you want to send a message to cowardly Republicans and Dems alike, well, I’m all out of fucks to give. Let’s win this race and actually fight for our democracy and *everyone* in it.

I am sounding the alarm on the real crisis we face today. Donald Trump’s overreach is what our founders warned against – it is unprecedented, unwarranted, and un-American. There’s no emergency here that calls for military intervention.

If Trump unilaterally brings the US into war with Iran, there needs to be a historically large popular and elite mobilization to remove him from office immediately. We simply can’t let a tyrant start WWIII without any form of public support or congressional approval. It’s madness.

In the spring of 2008, I feared America was on the verge of war with Iran — and, believing that it’s good style to get to know people before you bomb them, I made “Rick Steves’ Iran,” a one-hour special that could (and would) only debut on PBS. Sadly, this special has become pertinent again today.
