They were all disputing about the war, about what Thu would do next, what A-lo would do next, what the CWG would do next. "Why do you talk only in abstractions?" he inquired suddenly, wondering as he spoke why he was speaking, when he had resolved not to. "It is not names of countries, it is people killing each other. Why do the soldiers go? Why does a man go kill strangers?"
this passage from le guin's "the dispossessed" seems relevant
"There will always be adults who say it’s not fair to ask children to put their bodies on the line. But when you consider school shootings, the genocide in Gaza and the criminalization of Black boys, children’s bodies already are."

Islamophobia codified into the patriot act decades ago is now being weaponized against all Americans.
The same will happen with the normalization of war crimes against Muslim nations in contravention of international laws and norms and normalization of genocidal anti Muslim rhetoric by lawmakers.
This video of the damages to the Chehel Sotoun palace in Isfahan is hard to watch. The finest example of Safavid architecture, the palace is a marvel of art & architecture that has survived more than 400 years. It is unbelievable that the “most moral army in the world” has cared so little about it.
It’s super clear that basically the Iranians thought that the US would act like genocidal monsters and planned accordingly
Top level hasbarist they got there, she is one of the worst/best

tomorrow Schumer will be wearing the Trump shoes but a different color to prove that he's not going along with the regime's agenda
ultimate public humiliation to call the self-professed "Defender of Israel" a Palestinian
