A bunch of us who study this kind of thing tried to warn people that a second Trump regime wouldn't be anything like the first, but eggs and Biden was old and Kamala had a funny laugh or something.
I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.
I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

when you say shit like “who got to them?” or “they were blackmailed” you’re painting them sympathetically. stop doing that. they’re not victims, they’re grown people who made a conscious choice.

What we are witnessing now in Gaza is not a famine of nature. It is famine as a weapon of mass destruction.
