Palestine was the test to see what they could do. Not standing in solidarity with Palestinians was not only a major moral and ethical failing it was a strategic mistake that everyone will pay for.

RIP Hind Rajab.
Today is one year on since this little six year old was killed (my daughter's age) - and then so were the two brave medics who came to rescue her, as agreed by the IDF, as she cowered in her family car with her family dead around her.
I will never forget this story.

The theatrics of Trump’s first week in power: above all, we will put the coloreds back in their place
We will sow terror, uncertainty, fear, and despair.
It remains to be seen whether Trump will break Biden’s deportation records. But that’s not the point, fear is. This is exemplary violence.

We have been defanged by the idle politeness this society demands, to the point where if you call someone out for doing something bad or selfish, the argument then becomes about you calling them bad or selfish, not the harm they did. Do we see now how that is just abuser culture & leads to fascism?
