The Nobel Prize winner is a Trump puppet who begged him to do this. She’s rattled for regime change since 2000’s Chavez and thanked Trump when she won. But resistance libs all assumed she was against Trump because *he* didn’t win it.

I wrote a book about US media’s complicity in the Gaza genocide. It's available for pre-order. It’s a data-driven and, I hope, thorough account of how center-left media sold the American public on mass death in Gaza.
