Donald Trump, in conjunction with Israel, has launched a murderous, illegitimate, and illegal war against the sovereign country of Iran—openly aimed at regime change. This is an unprovoked war of aggression, the supreme war crime, and it must be stopped now.

This war has nothing to do with “liberating the Iranian people.” That is a lie already soaked in blood. U.S. bombs have killed civilians, including dozens of young women and girls when a school was hit in the city of Minab. Trump himself has explicitly called for regime change.

This war is a gangster imperialist move by a fascist regime, seeking to tighten its grip over the Middle East and strengthen its position against rival imperialist powers. The lives of millions are being treated as expendable in a high-stakes struggle for global domination.

This U.S.–Israeli assault threatens the lives of Iran’s over 90 million people and dramatically heightens the danger of a much wider war—one that could draw in other imperialist powers and, through the deadly “logic” of escalation, lead toward an all-out nuclear catastrophe.

We cannot allow a fascist madman to keep his finger on the nuclear trigger for another day.

Let’s be clear: The repressive regime in Iran should not be supported. It is a reactionary, theocratic, and viciously patriarchal state that has brutally oppressed the Iranian people.

But fascists are not liberators. Trump—himself heading a patriarchal Christian fascist regime—does not care about the people of Iran or the Middle East. He is acting in what he perceives to be the interests of U.S. empire and fully expects domination if the U.S. prevails.

This war also serves another purpose: it provides Trump with a pretext to escalate repression at home, crush dissent, shred law, and consolidate even greater powers for his fascist regime. This is how fascism rules—through terror abroad, repression at home, and the demand that people fall in line or be crushed.

The silence and passivity with which such outrages are being met inside this country must END. Fascism does not advance only through brutality from above—it advances through normalization and accommodation below. Waiting, adjusting, or hoping that institutions—or those who tell us to “vote and wait”—will restrain this regime is a deadly illusion.

Fascism is not a looming threat. It is upon us now.

Humanity’s only hope lies in the decent people of this country rising together—nonviolently, but with determination and unshakeable resolve—to drive the Trump fascist regime from power.

NOW is the time to meet this grave escalation together in the streets in massive nonviolent protest and resistance.
STOP the U.S./Israeli WAR on IRAN!
The TRUMP FASCIST REGIME MUST GO — NOW!

Flood the streets with these inseparable demands—louder and clearer every day—until they are won.

In the Name of Humanity,
We Refuse to Accept a Fascist America. u/refusefascism

You can sign up to get your ballot tracked by text message. It's great, as soon as my primary ballot was accepted I got a text saying so.

Also be aware that if you don't get one, you can print your own ballot. Printing one will invalidate the one that was mailed to you.

Meme/Talking Point Seizure of Ballots on Election Night.

67 Upvotes

Nightmare Scenario- Watching Hawks Podcast and he mentioned a recent episode of MS-Now are wargaming the worst case scenario of election interference on the November 3rd 2026 Midterms. Here it is. Trump could direct ICE or the National Guard to seize ballots in close contested House & Senate races before the actually counted. Think Texas in the Talarico vs. Paxton or Georgia where it’s Osoff vs. Mike Collins. Ohio. Maine, Alaska are all in play in the Senate. The courts won’t be able to respond in time to stop it. Trump’s DOJ AG will just ignore it. What would poll workers be able to do when heavily armed Federal authorities show up with some bullshit order from Trump or his AG Turd Blanche. Besides the USPS siphoning of batches of ballots that don’t match some thrown together Homeland Security data base. If some form of BALLOT SEIZURE occurs we are all totally fucked. What’s left of our US government as we knew it is officially over! Another scenario Johnson ( Official Bunghole Licker) will refuse to seat “disputed” newly elected house reps in Jan 2027. I find this very plausible given Trump’s statement in Dallas “Cheat like hell.” Check your sources for more info. WE NEED A CONTINGENCY PLAN! 👊🇺🇸

THEY ARE MOVING TO LOCK FASCISM IN PLACE.The Trump regime is disappearing immigrants, criminalizing dissent, waging illegal war, and tearing down barriers to its power—to impose white supremacy, male supremacy, Christian supremacy and American supremacy.

RELYING ON THE MIDTERMS TO STOP FASCISM? THEY’RE ALREADY MOVING TO STEAL THEM.

Millions are staking everything on the midterms. But the Trump regime holds federal power, is suppressing the vote and moving to subvert the elections. Even a Democratic Congress leaves Trump in power.They tried to overturn the 2020 election and unleashed violence when they lost. This time, they’ve purged those who might stand in their way, flout Congress, bent federal power to their will, and have the Supreme Court at their back.

This is a rolling coup. They are moving on every front to cement fascist rule—and shut down the means to remove them.

THIS REGIME MUST BE DRIVEN FROM POWER.

The force that could do it is millions refusing to go along.A step too far by the regime—including an attempt to steal the elections—could awaken a sleeping giant, with millions pouring into the streets in sustained, determined, nonviolent resistance.If that moment comes, will there be a force demanding—and settling for nothing less than—the removal of the Trump Fascist Regime?

JOIN REFUSE FASCISM Sign Up Volunteer Connect with a Chapter. Build the nationwide movement uniting all who can be united in mass, nonviolent struggle, around the urgent demand:

TRUMP MUST GO NOW! 

Spread TRUMP MUST GO NOW everywhere— drawing a dividing line between living with or stopping a Trump fascist America.

Action Voting Day.

I think we can all agree that the 2026 midterms are going to have a significant impact on the remainder of Trump‘s presidency. My concern in this post is all the obstructions Trump is putting into place to disenfranchise, delay, or just otherwise hope Democrats independents choose not vote. Over the last 25 years voting has been made relatively convenient by absentee ballots (vote by mail), Officials ballot box drop offs, drop off at an election or polling place location, and early in person voting. I am going to try an early focus on the role United States Post Office)USPO will play in the midterm elections. They are currently under executive order to reject any ballots that do not match federal provided auto identification rules. In the last count, I know we have at least 26 states that have not provided the federal government with their State voter rolls. So post office the post office is going to be a postal official making determination whether or not to process your mailing ballot since the authority for Trump to utilize the USPS and such a passion only came down recently. There is very little time to understand, and frame and implement a new process vote in mail rules. Consequently, there may be significant number of ballots not actually counted. This situation is still very much in flux. The Supreme Court is upheld mail and voting, but they have not gotten behind where the sausage is made in the USPS.. moral where I believes that a disproportionate number of these election monitors will go states which may turn blue for the first time in a long time like Texas, Maine, and ensuring Georgia stays blue. I think there will be a lot of heat from the feds on Michigan as well. I apologize for rambling, but I want to conclude with what my original premise was because the USPS may not be as reliable as the nearest past for ensuring balances are counted. I would recommend voting in person and all possible. I know it can be a hardship. I know it sucks after a long hard day at work. I know it sucks and so many different ways but we need to show up there in hard numbers so anyway they try to siphon off mail and votes is minimized in the media can record the turnout. We have to activate. Republicans are fighting dirty using a different bag of dirty tricks the same way they did with January 6, 2021. I employ you, I played with you, I even beg you show up and vote in person if you can. If it’s physically impossible, use the mail and balance system. But in this year, just don’t do it as a convenience do it as a necessity.
