People are rightfully outraged by Trump declaring he will “clear out” Gaza and occupy it. But let’s look at it another way. 15 months of the full force of the Empire via Proxy was not enough to achieve any of Israel’s goals. Now they need daddy-US to step in and clean up the mess.

It seems to me that Trump is ruffling up his world neighbours with tariffs and talk of taking over territory (now Gaza) to distract the world press to what’s going on as Musk is dismantling the USA gov. Another deeply worrying but brilliant update from @hcrichardson.bsky.social

Caravaggio (Italian, 1471-1610) Narcissus, 1597–1599 Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Antica Caravaggio is considered one of the masters of the Baroque style. He was a pioneer of tenebrism, a technique that uses dramatic contrasts between light and shadow to create depth and emotional intensity in scenes.
