For the Israeli government, the entire Mideast is the West Bank, now. This attack shows that they are determined to treat hundreds of millions the way they treat Palestinians. In the US, Trump's decision to declare war without consulting congress shows that he already sees himself as a dictator.

An image of smoke rising from airstrikes in Tehran with the text "The attack on Iran is an attack on all of us."

The thing to remember that makes things a little easier is that fascists hate each other more than they hate us. As Trump ramps up political violence, he'll have the same issue he's been having with ICE: "they're hurting the wrong people."

If you truly want people to stop burning your flag, make it so that burning a flag isn't something anyone would want to do. I don't understand the impulse to see someone angry at you and punish them simply for expressing that. If someone is angry at me, I want to discuss it with them, defuse it.

Have we ever talked about how weird Obama's "We Got Him" press conference was? I understand the amount of hate that was poured on Bin Laden, I'm not defending him at all, I'm just saying it's weird for the leader of a country to go on TV to announce that they finally killed an enemy leader.

The words "Masculine" and "Feminine" are beginning to seem more and more like horoscope signs. Whatever traits the person speaking decides on can easily be associated with that gender, because the terms are arbitrary and objectively meaningless.

Mother Teresa was an angel of death who did nothing but convert people on their deathbeds and totally ignore all medical knowledge. She died with a billion dollars in her account at the Vatican. Conservatives would've loved her.
