When I click on the following statement: “What are the current wars happening right now?” it doesn’t even mention the war in Iran. It mentions the Russo-Ukrainian War, the Arab-Israeli conflict, the Sudanese civil war, the civil conflicts in Myanmar, and insurgencies and cartel violence in other locations.   

None of these answer my question. Onto another Google search: “Did our President illegally bomb Iran?” Can’t run from that one, can you Google?

No main news sites greet me. Instead, FactCheck.org, American Civil Liberties Union, Time, and American Friends Service Committee say similar things. Quoting Sen. Tim Kaine, FactCheck.org says, “The Constitution says no declaration of war without Congress…The president not only did not come to Congress to seek a debate or vote, he acted without even notification to the vast majority of us.” And following, in a later paragraph, Factcheck.org’s expert opinion from Oona Hathaway, “The strikes on Iran are blatantly illegal.” ACLU said, when President Trump declared the US and Israel were bombing Iran, that “What he failed to mention was that he doesn't actually have the power to declare war; only Congress does…for more than 50 years, we have insisted that under the Constitution, the power to declare war belongs solely to Congress.” 
Time asked David Janovsky, the acting director of the Constitution Project at the Project on Government Oversight, “Are Trump’s strikes on Iran legally justified?” And DJ replied, “The short answer is no. There's no indication that there's any sort of circumstance that would give the President the unilateral authority to order military action.” They followed up by asking: “What steps would the White House need to have taken for military action to be legally above board?” And DJ answered: “Most simply, the administration would need to go to Congress. This is a contemplated attack against a sovereign state, and that, in simplest terms, is an act of war. And the Constitution gives the exclusive power to declare war to Congress, not the president. So this is something that would need a vote and congressional approval.” Something the President did not do and does not have. 

Following the last site, American Friends Service Committee, it says: “On Feb. 28, the U.S. and Israel launched an unprovoked war of aggression on Iran, dropping bombs on cities across the country and calling for regime change. In the first wave of attacks, at least 175 people—mostly children—were killed when a school was struck. The Iranian leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was also killed in an airstrike.” So not only did President Trump bomb someone illegally, he bombed civilians. And not only civilians. He bombed children. 

The American Friends Service Committee goes on to say, in big bold letters: This war is illegal. Thank you. Finally, someone willing to state the truth outright and not dance around it. It only took a rabbit hole and two separate Google searches to get the truth. I wonder what that says about media suppression? But I digress. 

Yes, we are at war. Yes, it is illegal. Yes, I am terrified. Looks like my Sunday Scaries are sticking around a little longer.
