The person in the passenger side of this vehicle was brutally arrested — and appears limp at the end as four agents pick him up by each of his limbs — simply for the crime of trying to fill up with gas at a gas station.
Earlier today, Border Patrol arrested a man in the parking lot of a gas station in St. Paul. They busted out his drivers side window, ultimately dragging him out of the car, pulled him to the ground, and dragged him into one of BP's SUVs.

Is China doing "colonialism" in Africa?

Here I argue that equating China’s activities in Africa to Western colonialism/imperialism is not only empirically incorrect, it trivialises the extraordinary violence of the latter. It is a form of denialism.

This is a nice piece by @maxajl, with a strong critique of post-development (from section 2.4 ff). The PD literature generally lacks an adequate theory of imperialism and fails to propose realistic pathways for how Southern countries can escape it.

A Black man named Keith Porter was shot and killed by an ICE officer on New Year’s Eve.

Marimar Martinez was shot five times by an ICE officer in Chicago who went on to brag about leaving seven holes in her body.

This is not new but it is expanding.
Your reminder that what happened to Renee Nicole Good is something that happens regularly in America. This is not new, but it is an expanded version of militarized people targeting Black people in particular.

From ICE detention to murder with impunity, we've been doing it. Now it's broadened.

Oh also today, the US withdrew from every major international treaty for climate and environmental protection, violence against women and children, and peacebuilding.

No loud proclamations. No Twitter tantrums. Just quiet, systemic replacement. As the US exits, China builds. While Nvidia warns and Washington postures, China prepares for a future where dependence becomes leverage and silence becomes strategy.
