I am incensed. This is all so heartbreaking and despicable. The Iranian people do not deserve this violence. We do not deserve this governance. The world does not deserve this. These outrages must end.

The Minnesota shooter who killed state Rep. Melissa Hortman wasn’t a lone wolf, insists a scholar of political violence.
And the myth of the isolated madman obscures the networked reality of far-right violence and makes it harder to prevent the next attack.

The escalation of US involvement against Iran has happened.
When I wake up, I hope the promised retaliation hasn’t happened and that calmer heads can prevail.
