It all culminated in a formal declaration of war.
Facts: “The #SpanishAmericanWar was not waged in Spain, but rather in the Spanish colonies of Puerta Rico and Cuba in the Caribbean, and in the colonies of the Philippines and Guam in the pacific.”

All people found outside [Bell's] camps without identification were shot on-sight. Men were rounded up, tortured & executed. Entire villages were burned. By May 3, 1901, 1/6th of the population of Luzon had been killed or died of disease.”

Because #WhiteSupremacism is often steeped in toxic masculinity. The “desire” of American war fighters “to prove [their] manhood burned so hot that it blinded [them] to the moment when a war [they’d] joined to free people from imperialism became a war to subdue a colony.”

"A whole civilization will die tonight"?

Let's hope that this is just hyperbole. If Trump or Israel actually act on this, we need to take action to stand for the millions of innocent Iranian people who are just trying to live.

We must end #AmericanImperialism and #IsraeliTerrorism

By 1862, thinking he couldn't maintain support for emancipation - a necessary step to winning the Civil War - if the Union didn't deport slaves once they were free.
