That's as much as I'm willing to weigh in. I studied borders and water in grad school and a big part of that was Israel-Palestine and I learned enough to know that I don't know a goddamn thing so I try to only talk about what I do know, which is disinfo and the global far right
(I don't say much about Bolivia for very similar reasons)

Hey young people, there was actually a fevered time in this nation's history when Rudy Giuliani was not just seen as a viable candidate for president, but one of the best candidates in the country. It was discussed at length by pundits still regarded as serious lol
If you are saying to yourself, Wow Brooke how did anybody get through this without being drunk all the time, the answer is we didn't
It's not really seeping in so much as the Michigan GOP is actively courting it and has been for at least a year. It's their Trojan horse for militia member support michiganadvance.com/2021/06/03/how… via @michiganadvance
Getting a bit tired of the Trojan horse analogy so if anybody has any better ones I'll gladly steal them

So many problems could have been avoided by journos not letting themselves be seduced by clothing of all things, don't any of you understand plumage or visual signaling!!
But there is no longer any doubt about what they truly are by now, right? And why they hate journalists is clear now, RIGHT? It's because, no matter how they may justify it to themselves, they think they have more to gain if the USA is a failed state.
Yesterday at the store I got into a conversation with a woman who ended up asking me if she could pray for me. I said sure but I didn't think she meant right that moment!!
It went on for about ten solid minutes too, super rambly. Finally I said, Listen I gotta go but how about you pray that when it comes down to it that the snipers might miss? She didn't laugh.
I'm not ready for this shit, it's six more weeks of winter over here
Speaking of disinformation campaigns, here's local hack Carl DeMaio still trying his damnedest to get his grift going to recall a Black member of the La Mesa-Spring Valley school board for comparing anti-maskers to white supremacists (hint: they're the same people)
Here's one of my threads predicting all of this so you can double-check my work
