It’s been 1,111 hours since access to the internet was cut off for the Iranian people. Online businesses have collapsed. Families are cut off. People are left in the dark, anxious and disconnected from the world in 2026. Denying millions of Iranians access isn’t just about control, it’s an insult to those trying to live with dignity. Internet access is not a privilege. It’s a basic right #DigitalBlackoutIran

Enough! If there was ever a red line in world history, we are here. It really doesn't matter if you are liberal or conservative, or who you voted for in the last election-- there is no way you can be a good American, good Christian, or good person if you support a leader that makes statements like this. If you try to dismiss this, try to explain it away as "good negotiating tactic", or try to justify it in any way, you are just a bad person. It's that simple. If you don't understand this, you just prove the point. The American people are not the Mafia or the mob. We don't threaten to kill whole families or civilizations if we don't get our way, especially if "getting our way" means stealing from and killing other people that have not attacked us. If our elected representatives can't understand this, don't have the moral courage to stand up and represent us the way they should, and reign in this megalomaniac, We The People will have no choice other than revolution. That's the point our revered founding fathers got to and that is where we are now. "...That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government..."

Madman Theory? Trump got summits with “little rocket man” Kim Jong Un last time around, but never in all my years reporting America at war have I heard anything like this: an American president threatens to destroy a “whole civilization” and says it’ll take 100 years to rebuild. Striking Tehran’s Grand Bazaar, Israel warning people to avoid trains and stations, Trump threatening whole power grids, desalination plants, the nation’s bridges… Is this war still against the Iranian regime or now against a whole people?

Mr. President, decisions about targeting infrastructure carry massive human consequences. No power → no water, healthcare, food distribution No bridges → no movement, trade, emergency response Result → society partially collapses. Millions of innocent lives are affected. Respectfully, this impact must be at the center of any decision. 🙏@POTUS
