and many democrats have done the same for defending a Palestinian’s right to stay alive.
The real trap here is that the Republicans have made defending civil rights seem like a frivolous thing and a whole lot of liberals are falling in line. Even if it was a culture war, so what? This would be a war worth fighting. What are we even doing here, people? Get it together.

This is not Hiroshima, this is Gaza.
Gaza is nearly 3 times smaller than Hiroshima, and Israel has dropped the equivalent of 6 ATOMIC BOMBS on Gaza.
Don't stop talking about Gaza as if your life depends on it, because their lives depend on it! #GazaGenocide

I'm loving your Iliad live-comments, and I love the idea of choices having a smell. Maybe you're actually Aeschylus, back from the dead with the complete "Myrmidons" -- a lost tragedy featuring "the holy honor of the thigh-bond", "intimacy of thighs" and "countless kisses".

In high school, I was so confused by several characters in The Iliad having the same name. Like, there are Ajaxes all over the place. But then, in college, I had sex with three or four Ryans in a row, quickly followed by two Roberts. And I was like “oh, I get it now.”
