Targeting the Messenger to Kill the Message

We see it. We aren’t looking away. The people are trying to block shipments, they’ve told Joe Biden he’s throwing away his second term (as if an 80 year old cares) and probably a good chunk of US democracy over this. There is a lag, I think, in comprehension. They think they will keep getting away with this “short term”, “local”, violence, but the collateral damage of trauma, distrust, and hopelessness spreads faster and farther than ever before, the ruin of one nation can shake the foundation of all. The horror of these actions will not be omitted and will only help fill the ranks of global crime and the wretchedness it exploits.
