The coming hours and days in Minneapolis are crucial. ICE killed a man and is violently repressing protestors. We will begin to interrupt the fascists decisively in the coming days or we will wake up to full arsenal unchecked state backed autocratic capitalism.

The Kushner revealed “master plan” for Gaza is incendiary, racist, genocidal, and terroristic.

The U.S. is in the open engaging in war on the planet. The fascists have concentration camps and a secret police force. They are beating their chests in bellicosity and belligerence on every front and supporting active genocides. They are doubling down on ecocide.

I’m afraid The IDF raid at Birzeit University in the West Bank is the harbinger of our Spring on US campuses.

Trump admin bullying Venezuela is an open colonial heist. It’s ‘give us all your oil or we will run up.’ Half the oil is already processed by Chevron. This is a geopolitical play to further interrupt Chinese mineral and energy interests. US maneuvers against China are driving the path to global war.

Striking a sovereign country, kidnapping its leader, and opening a new war in our not so innocent names and with our collective wealth. The Trump admin is firing on all fascist cylinders. #HandsOffVenezuela

Where y’all submit (and read) left oriented writing these days for public engagement?

If tonight’s planned white house telecast is not to announce illegal war on Venezuela I’ll be shocked. #HandsOffVenezuela

A system that can’t halt genocide but continues to amass enough lethal force to destroy all known life, that can make resources available to some with a click but can’t provide food and water to all, and that can build death camps while hurricane victims remain unhoused must be uprooted and replaced

Hot conflicts and genocides all around metals and minerals. How long before all these proxy wars manifest as just full on World War III? We must demand peace and organize global solidarities that displace our current systems, national and international with something centered in the right to dignity

I don’t think we can ignore that the two hot spots of genocidal violence on the African continent—DRC and Sudan—host extensive mine interests by Chinese companies and that the “rebels” in one and the RSF the other are backed indirectly by the US or US allies. Please point me to some good reporting.

Bullying poor countries with the biggest martial force in the history of earth, is the surest sign of moral and social decay. It also illustrates the country’s slipping hegemony since the use of force is geopolitically expensive. Its giving the opposite of actual power apnews.com/article/trum...
