This is something I, and most of my fellow Democrats and Liberals, feel most strongly about. War is the most evil creation on this planet. It is the result of childishness and ignorance. Often times war begins because religious fanatics can't tolerate the very existence of people who believe differently than they do (This applies to fundamentalist Christians as well as any other group). War often begins because bloodthirsty warmongering politicians fear monger in order to gain enough support to create a conflict in another country. Sometimes war begins because a monstrous President has cozy connections to the oil industry and could help out his rich friends by starting a bloodbath in Iraq. Often times political debates revolve around which wars our military should or should not be involved in. Why don't we talk more often about how stupid the idea of war itself is. When you're little, you are told to communicate with your words and not violence. Why is foreign policy full of the exact opposite? War is often set up like some kind of sick sport. You have 2 teams and a divided playing field. Whoever wins gets some kind of reward. How stupid is it that foreign policy revolves around how many of the "others" we can kill? War creates an environment that makes it easy to ignore the finality of death. When deaths become nothing but a number, it makes it a lot easier to accept. These are lives! 200 innocent civilians have been killed by the Trump administration in Iraq. 200 human beings. Think about that. You, reading this right now are a human being. You have a life that I'm sure you value. 200 people who did nothing wrong lost their lives because of stupidity and ignorance. Some monsters, cowards have the gaul to celebrate this. War is hell. War is stupid.

Author and journalist Kurt Eichenwald is epileptic and outspoken about his dislike for Donald Trump in print, online and on social media. It was widely reported that Eichenwald suffered a sudden seizure in December when he opened an animated tweet from John Rayne Rivello containing a flashing strobe light image that said: “You deserve a seizure for your post.”

Mr. Eichenwald’s wife found him on the floor of his home office after he opened the flashing tweet and called an ambulance. From Eichenwald’s Twitter account, she responded to the sender “@jew Goldstein”, tweeting, “This is his wife. You caused a seizure. I have your information and have called the police to report the assault.”

Rivello has since been arrested in Dallas, where he posted $100,000 bail, and more recently in Maryland, for cyberstalking.

This opened up what may be a landmark case in cyberstalking law, because even though speech (including online speech) is usually First Amendment-protected, experts say it won’t be here. And it appears to be the first time Twitter has been used in a legal case as a “deadly weapon”.

I'm supporting Justice Democrats. I'm supporting Justice Democrats because the past two elections, 2014 and 2016, have shown us that we need to make a change. I know many Democrats become annoyed by Justice Democrats and groups like them because they focus on flaws within our own party instead of just focusing on the terrible things the Trump administration is doing. Kyle Kulinski, host of Secular Talk, said it best: Democrats need to learn to walk and chew gum at the same time. Working to fix problems that exist within our party does not mean not resisting this evil fascist administration. Think about it, Justice Democrats is recruiting and drafting working class people to run for political office. One of their nominees is a woman who works as the cashier at her local grocery store. They have teachers, veterans, people from all walks of life that signed up to run for office. If this effort is successful, our Party will be unstoppable. Working people WILL elect working people to represent them. Please at least ponder the potential of this idea.
