"And I think that’s one of the things that people are going to be struggling to face and deal with, and contemplate, and understand about those of us who are alive in this moment. How—when there were other moments in history where far fewer people died, and it sparked the conscience of the world, and led to fundamental political change—how can it be that in this case that this can just be tolerated?"

"I think this is what’s so chilling, so deeply chilling about this moment is that this is an experiment in how the lives of one particular group of people can be made to seem so cheap. That you can have 150 people killed per day, you know, over 650 days, and yet, you know, much of the world reacts with a shrug, and the world continues to give Israel the military and diplomatic support to make it possible."

"In Western media discussion in the U.S, there’s been a kind of normalization of just that it's kind of routine, that every day Palestinians are dying more and more and more. And it doesn’t even really provoke that much conversation anymore."

"Don’t normalize this moment. None of it. A senator, handcuffed for asking questions. A congresswoman indicted. Marines detaining citizens on American streets. A cabinet secretary calling for the liberation of Americans from their duly elected leaders. A judge indicted in a highly speculative case that looks more like a threat than justice."

Civil Discourse with Joyce Vance · The Week AheadBy Joyce Vance

"Even if most Americans haven’t abandoned their private sense of #empathy, many don’t seem terribly bothered by the rancidness of their #leaders #trump #maga #congress# GOP. I confess that this indifference astonishes me. It might be the ugliest effect of Trump’s return—the rapid #normalization of spectacular #corruption, the desensitization to #lawless #power, the acceptance of #moral collapse.

"The choice of the three Middle East nations was intentional, of course. Trump & his family have extensive business ties with each of these oil-rich states, and Trump saw an opportunity to bring his top corporate donors and big petrol dollars together. …

This vulgar sucking up to wealthy Arab states—along with shady transactions that lack transparency and line the pockets of Trump and his friends—directly threatens our national security."

"For his first official international trip, Trump passed on visiting our neighbors Canada or Mexico, along with all of our NATO allies. He instead elected to go on a jaunt through Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar, three autocratic states with deeply problematic records on human rights and support for international terrorism."

"For those of us outside the United States, we face a twofold challenge. The first is not to convince ourselves that the new Trump presidency can be treated as a normal state. During the first Trump administration, there was a tendency to believe that the President could be managed by the fabled ‘adults in the room’. It has become increasingly clear that that will not be the case in this term."
