Everyone in the Expanse. Naomi, Drummer, Fred Johnson, Bobbie Draper, Chrisjen Avasarala, Monica... Obviously, Amos, Peaches, Miller, and even Holden.
All of them do reprehensible things. Some did them and made up for it. Some still do them to win.

They know that Israel is at the eye of the global shit storm. Iran might close the strait of Hormuz, and the Yemenis are definitely going to take shots at ships heading for Bab-el-Mandeb (Gate of Grief). Iran may start boarding ships as well.
This is a business decision.
The rest of this post is bullshit. If it comes true, well, then, I'm an unprofitable prophet.
Goodness knows how this is going to go once the NATO-backed EU sanctions on Israel hit in mid-July. US will try to sanction/tariff their way around that, an attempt to support their pals, but, surprise! Domestic unrest will force the felon's hand.
That frees up some space for more integrated transport across Europe, Canada, and emerging markets across north and west Africa, quelling some of the decolonial "unrest" in Mali, Burkina Faso with offers of "trade."
The wedge in the anglosphere will widen, and the US will be more isolated. They'll either attack Canada or suffer Civil War by November, about the time people start to realize they can't pay for their heating this winter and can't even afford "2 dolls instead of 30" this Xmas.
I look forward to Netanyahu making his case in court and watching every argument evaporate under the sheer gravity of reality. Smotrich and Ben-Gvir, standing beside him, defiant. Gallant gave up.
I've read Dante's Inferno. Two things are true:
- In envisioning Hell, this is beyond even him.
Though, the ninth circle — betrayal — is where many politicians, pundits, and the president of Israel belong. Frozen in the ice at the center of Hell.
- Many people deserve to be sent to Hell for this. Perhaps all of us who did not do more to stop it.
Jewish communities are not monolithic. This, like the genocide itself, is a wedge issue. People are being forced to confront the reality and scope of these past 20 months, and the occupation writ large.
Let justice be swift and certain.
If more people realized this, life would be a lot more simple. I never grew up. I just got older.
James Holden has a safe future in Quebec.
Well, I guess we're not at full genetic mix yet.
Climate connection was also in my feed this AM.
Carbon footprint of Israel’s war on Gaza exceeds that of many entire countries
Exclusive: Climate cost of war is more than than the combined 2023 emissions of Costa Rica and Estonia, study finds

I agree with [email protected]. Running cover for despotic regimes seems to be a pattern that 20th and 21st century American history is shot full of.
Please keep in mind that America backed Pol Pot as the head of state through that 1975 to 1979 genocide and for over a decade after.
They're all the same. Rotated 90° for each one. Except for the 'e', they flipped that one.
The Secretary General of the legit United Nations, said this.
Are there any adults in the rooms where decisions like "bomb Gaza" are made? Why are so few saying what defeated Jamaal Bowman are saying, "permanent ceasefire now". And remember how Bowman was defeated. $17K/hr.
Also, cute story, Lebanon is the only other country in the world to feature a plant on its flag. The Lebanese are beautiful, Mediterranean people. LEBANON is at the crossroads of empires, and now — as is often the case — Lebanese are victims of outland calamities; Syria, the dock, and econonic collapse.
Hezb. are based there. Lebanon is thus remade like Afghanistan. Isr. reserves the right to "defend".
