Trump sets Tuesday ultimatum for Iran power plants and bridges

The big picture: Local pressure is forcing real decisions, while state violence is being scheduled by the hour. The thread running through everything is timing: disrupt before “deadline reality” hardens.

1. Demilitarize Brooklyn Navy Yard targets drone lease decision

Demilitarize Brooklyn Navy Yard protesters occupied the lobby of Navy Yard Building 77. The Brooklyn Navy Yard landlord, BNYDC, had Easy Aerial’s lease on its closed-door agenda, linking the drone maker to DHS and Israeli military work.

Why it matters: This turned a backroom lease debate into a public pressure event. By interrupting decision-making in real time, the campaign aimed at leverage, not permission.

-
Protesters drummed and chanted as BNYDC staff met in the building.
-
BNYDC discussed Easy Aerial’s lease while activists remained inside.
-
The campaign highlighted Easy Aerial’s DHS and Israeli military ties.
-
Organizers report lease pressure helped push Easy Aerial out of Brooklyn.

What to watch: Tuesday, Apr 7 (8 p.m. ET): deadline in Trump’s Iran ultimatum. April 6: Missoula federal court’s Round Star Logging Project injunction. Feb 11: BNYDC’s Easy Aerial lease meeting referenced by the campaign.

2. Trump threatens Tuesday infrastructure strikes in Iran

On Easter Sunday, Donald Trump posted a profanity-laced warning on Truth Social with a Tuesday deadline. He threatened “Power Plant Day” and “Bridge Day” strikes in Iran tied to reopening the Strait of Hormuz.

Why it matters: This is a violence timeline, not a vibe. The window for antiwar disruption is shrinking as civilian infrastructure becomes the bargaining chip.

-
Trump set Tuesday as the moment for “Power Plant Day” and “Bridge Day.”
-
The ultimatum demanded reopening the Strait of Hormuz under threat of escalation.
-
International law experts warned strikes on utilities would be war crimes.
-
A hard deadline forces rapid media and diplomatic responses.

What to watch: Tuesday, Apr 7 (8 p.m. ET): deadline in Trump’s Iran ultimatum. Watch for whether threats convert into operational claims, not just posts.

3. Moms for Liberty pushes “zero” public school vision

ProPublica reported Moms for Liberty co-founder Tiffany Justice saying she hopes for “zero” children in public schools. Her remarks link the push to Project 2025 and the Heritage Foundation.

Why it matters: The fight is about who gets to define democracy’s basic infrastructure. School-centered organizing treats local governance as the battlefield, not just the talking point.

-
Tiffany Justice told ProPublica she hopes for “zero” public-school enrollment.
-
Heritage and Project 2025 ties supply the privatization roadmap behind the quote.
-
Public-school defenders frame schooling as democratic infrastructure under attack.
-
School-board work becomes leverage, not just advocacy.

What to watch: Tuesday, Apr 7 (8 p.m. ET): Trump ultimatum deadline. April 6: Missoula federal court order halting Round Star Logging Project.
