Israel detonating people in coordinated mass attack is now business as usual. It's difficult or impossible to see that the world was not turned into something evil and dark that can't be put back yesterday. Everyone in the future could be possibly detonated randomly because governments and private corporations deem it a necessity. The chorus of people saying 'well don't be a bad person and you have nothing to worry about!' have no clue. The bodies and souls Israel and the US is allowing to be altered and destroyed is a turn in the 21st century. We are still a post 9/11 world and perhaps always will be. How succinct Thompson was when he wrote: The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks. 

MSNBC historians quiet over this when it comes to deconstructing and forewarning authoritarianism. One prominent writer in those circles but not on the circuit who used to write about real things on the ground and the impossible and hope, selfish silence is angering. *You can’t claim to love and despair over what is happening to the environment and not condemn the environmental implications of Gaza’s genocide and the US’s thumbs up of it. All of these people were also not surprisingly Biden dead enders who had us circling the drain for a while. We are all sitting ducks while you keep sipping your coffee, plug and vent on twitter and get your TV slots, columns, fellowships, book deals and panels. Can't they see a possible "October Surprise" to get Trump over the finish line coming out of this? 

* (updated note Oct. 25, 2024, I did see they actually are now speaking and posting others suffering in Gaza. Randomly came across form a person I follow responding to them on twitter. I don't know if it's new I had seen for awhile it had been quiet but want to amend that they actually do care and that matters and matters to correct, but I will leave it up as it is a reflection of my own thoughts at the time as a diary entry of sorts.
