While the United States has issued only eleven formal declarations of war since 1776, it has engaged in more than four hundred military interventions.

The attack on Iran fits squarely within this tradition.

"The destruction of queer lives does not begin with a hammer, a bullet, or a judge’s gavel … It begins with silence. With isolation. With erasure."
