#AkbarShahidAhmed's forthcoming book #CrossingTheRedLine sounds like it should be required reading for all the #BlueMAGA shitlibs on Masto & elsewhere who like trafficking lame "I told you so's" to the effect that if the left had just shut up about the genocide her boss was doggedly backing, Harris would've won. (the opposite is true actually v. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/2025937379802988645.html)

from publisher W.W. Norton's description:

In vivid prose and with unparalleled access to insiders, Ahmed depicts a White House that resisted a course correction as its failures became undeniable. He probes Biden’s inner circle: a paranoid and imperious group shaped by the War on Terror, whose choices fueled tens of thousands of avoidable deaths among Palestinians, Lebanese, and Israelis, torpedoed long-time standards for warfare, and created a more dangerous world for us all. The Biden administration’s decisions drove voter backlash that helped Donald Trump regain power, and established patterns of impunity that have spurred wider bloodshed under Trump.

Crossing the Red Line is an urgent reckoning with Biden’s record on Gaza that is vital to understanding historic damage to America’s standing in the world, and a period whose dark consequences will resonate globally for decades to come.
