#UN Secretary-General #AntónioGuterres, meanwhile, condemned the strikes on #Iran & the Islamic Republic’s retaliation.

“The use of force by the #UnitedStates & #Israel against Iran, & the subsequent retaliation by Iran across the region, undermine international peace & #security,” Guterres said in a statement. He also called for an immediate ceasefire & for all parties to return to the negotiating table.

@Nonilex @OGjester the wheels are falling off we don’t have till November.

The least worst party is also to blame for the situation we are in. #billionaire run #corporations control the media streams feeding the undereducated masses.

The French ain’t coming to liberate us #generalstrike or take up #arms

Playing by the rules has us here. Writing strongly-worded statements has us here. We're getting nowhere by adhering to norms and laws.

The moral high ground isn't a bragging point when schoolchildren are being murdered.

We absolutely need to elect a Dem majority. But we need Dems who aren't afraid of their shadows. Dems who will do more than issue a strongly-worded statement. Dems who actually WORK FOR THE PEOPLE. I don't see that in the current Dems in office.

@Nonilex

"Not sure what else you expect him to do without a majority?"

What I want Chuck Schumer and his Oreo House Boy Hakeem Jefferies to do is get a backbone and grow a pair

For three decades the Democratic "leadership" has slavishly stayed withing the lines and played by the rules

Their mantra has been (as it was with Joe "Senile" Biden) to celebrate a "comity with our colleagues across the aisle"

Meanwhile their Republican "colleagues across the aisle" have been pissing on Democrats' feet all-the-while smiling in Democrats' faces

It's gotten so Democrats don't even notice that their shoes are always full of Republican urine

@Nonilex He could make calls to action to his constituents. He could lead protests. He could organize a march on Washington. He could call for a general strike. He could apologize for and forsake all that AIPAC money he’s taken.

Thinking of things he could do besides writing a meaningless letter is not difficult.

@Nonilex @OGjester

You are right that there is little that can be done via "regular order"

But that ship sailed.

What we need is several million people descending on DC, shutting it down, demanding Congress convene in emergency sessions, and not letting any of them out until he has been impeached and vance given 12 hours to stop it or also be impeached.
Keep johnson locked in his office if necessary; find someone to be acting Speaker.
