After an uplifting weekend with 5-6 million people in the streets protesting Trump's authoritarian actions, we are now facing the real possibility of war with Iran at the hands of this tyrant who frighteningly is also our commander-in-chief.
We are sending along this urgent action from Jessica Craven's excellent Substack, "Chop Wood, Carry Water." We encourage everyone to take this action immediately.

"Hey all,
Here’s a quick letter to your reps about the frightening and rapid escalation unfolding before our eyes.
You can either copy and paste the text below so you can tailor it before sending to your reps through their websites, OR send it as is by texting SIGN PCANGC to 50409. [H/T]
As your constituent, I urge you to do everything in your power to prevent war on Iran.
First, I ask you to demand Trump seek authorization under the War Powers Act before taking any military action against Iran.
Second, please sign onto Senator Tim Kaine’s war powers resolution or Representative Thomas Massie and Rep. Ro Khanna’s similar war powers resolution in the House. Their efforts could be the difference between diplomacy and disaster.
We must stop the escalation now. No one—and I mean no one sane—wants war with Iran.
Thank you.
More soon, folks. Hang in there."
