I’m not sure there have been four simultaneous issues where the right thing to do is so clear and our incoming government is wrong on all four at once.

  • We must support Ukraine agains Russian invasion
  • Israel is murdering Palestinians with impunity and support.
  • Climate change is a serious, immediate threat
  • Trans rights are human rights. Just fucking respect people.

I don’t think there’s any gray area left for any of these issues. Israel as a broader matter comes the closest, but the fact that Israel is obliterating Palestine with the intent to permanently foreclose on a two state solution is not in question.

Whether we’ve entered the end of America’s leadership on the international stage as a matter of projected force, I do not know. But whether we’ve absolutely failed the moral leadership test? There’s no question.
