"We still don't actually have an explanation."

It feels like the Trump administration is purposely trying to confuse… everyone. As soon as Israel attacked Iran on Friday, the administration called the strikes a “unilateral action” by Israel. But the very next day, President Trump claimed he had full knowledge of the strikes—and that they were carried out using U.S. weapons. Then, not long after, he insisted that the U.S. “had nothing to do with the attack on Iran tonight”—only to follow it with a threat that if “we are attacked in any way, shape or form by Iran,” the U.S. would respond with “strength and might… at levels never seen before.” And just to cap off the incoherence, he added that “we can easily get a deal done between Iran and Israel, and end this bloody conflict!!!” Who can follow this? The American people have no clear idea how much of our money has gone into bombing Iran, defending Israel, or preparing for escalation. Israel has openly invited the United States to join its campaign—and no one in the Trump administration will give the public a straight answer about what we’re actually being pulled into. The European Union has pledged support for Israel but gave lip service to “a negotiated solution.” But Iran pulled out of peace negotiations with the United States for obvious reasons. Who would trust the U.S. now? President Trump indicated that Russian President Putin may be the next best party to negotiate a peace. The irony writes itself.

In the wake of a strong government response to the Los Angeles protests, more attention has gone this week to how a word like “invasion” functions — leading the machinery of government in one direction, and not another. Yet whether or not the U.S. has experienced an immigrant “invasion” and whether or not President Donald Trump is on the path to becoming a “dictator” are national conversations that rely upon more than just objective facts on the ground. They also depend on how people...

Pretty cool.
