The President of the United States spent Easter morning threatening to bomb 93 million people into darkness and signed it “Praise be to Allah.”
Donald Trump posted his ultimatum to Iran at 8:03 a.m. on the holiest day of the Christian calendar, then skipped church. He promised to destroy the country’s power plants and bridges by Tuesday night if the Strait of Hormuz stays closed. The world, including our allies, saw it and understood that a man accused of being a burgeoning autocrat treats mass civilian suffering as a bargaining chip.
In the summer of 1974, when congressional Republicans realized they couldn’t save Richard Nixon, Barry Goldwater rode to the White House with Republican leaders and told the president it was over.

Call your representatives through Resistbot and 5 Calls and demand Republican leadership go to the White House before the bombs fall.
