“Yemen and Palestine have tested the limits of the imperial system — how many innocent women and children can we liquidate before self-absorbed, mindlessly scrolling, Netflix-watching, garbage-eating Americans will bat an eyelash? Lots of them apparently. The Signal story is the perfect apparently anti-Trump narrative for the chattering classes: they need not even pretend to stake out a progressive position contrary to Trump. As legal residents who have broken no law are disappeared from our streets for opposing a genocide in Palestine — fully supported by both wings of the ruling class — the ruling class can focus our attention and loyalties on America’s righteous military mission.” (04/04/25)
