According to #Foreign_Policy, this summer, mysterious intruders have been breaking into #Finnish water towers and treatment plants. They’ve stolen nothing, but there are other reasons for breaking into water treatment plants: to scout them out for future attacks — or to cause the public to worry about the safety of the water in their taps. By disabling water treatment or adding a contaminant, an intruder could turn the life-giving liquid into a source of disease.

@farbel Influencing #US #foreign_policy has always been a heavy lift. Back in 1968 #antiwar #protests forced #LBJ out only for us to end up with #Nixon and an even worse #Cambodia #bombing campaign. People say #Trump or #Biden makes no difference... for #white #people perhaps. On the other hand, Trump 2.0 will rain down hell on #immigrants, particularly #Muslims and #Latinos. Trump brags about #MassDeportations. Remember the #ICE raids? Many more #POC will be swept up in the next one.

In addition to #StateViolence #authoritarians establish a #PermissionStructure of #violence against disfavored groups. During the last Trump administration, #MassShootings of minorities and synagogues was rampant. I'm voting for #Biden2024 not because I'm a fan, but because I am thinking of all the people Trump will hurt in the US. #Voting one's #conscience in the #2024Election is a choice between a soiled conscience or a dead one.
