Fascism is always a war on the left. It's not all it is, but it's always that.

"An Elegy for My Neighbor, Renee Nicole Good" - by Danez Smith

"Neighbor, you should have made it home to your child, to the bright warmth of his laughter, but our country is at war with its people, and your goodness makes you an enemy, a citizen insurgent."

Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis.

A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times."

Bovino was there.

If the Palestine Action hunger strikers die - which they could do at any moment, as they are now very close to the end - it will be the government that killed them. Today’s column explains why. Please share, and write urgently to your MP.

Let’s be clear: if the Palestine Action hunger strikers die, the government will bear moral responsibility | George Monbiot
The three remaining hunger strikers have been convicted of nothing. Yet with astonishing cruelty, ministers refuse to listen to their reasonable demands, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Marco Rubio is the Trump administration’s most formidable liar and is dead set on placing drug cartel bosses at the top of every Latin American government. Maureen Tkacik reports on Rubio’s long narco-terrorist history:

If it's not regime change, and it's certainly not "law enforcement," let's just call it a nuclear-armed oil heist.
By framing this brazen act of aggression in euphemistic terms, the media is falling in line with Trump.

Of course it's also the minerals, metals and energy but that's an old story. 3/3
It's why he is threatening Colombia + Mexico. Why he bought elections in Argentina + Honduras. And interfered in Brazil's courts.

Latin America's democratic left bloc is the most principled opposition to Trump in the world, defending international law while richer + more powerful nations cower. 2/3
The weak response from Can, EU and UN to Trump's flagrant crimes in Venezuela is striking.

It exposes that much of the world has been cowed.

Most notable exception: the Latin American left.

That is why the Trump Admin has gone to enormous lengths to defeat the left across the continent. 1/3

hey remember climate change? didn't it have something to do with... oil? I'm sure it can wait.

Canada’s response has shown why we need the NDP: Poilievre applauds Trump. Carney's government cannot muster a single world of criticism.

Whatever you think about Maduro, Canada cannot be an accessory to this blatant violation of international law.

Reposted by Naomi Klein

State clearly that we will not support a US invasion in any way whatsoever – and that includes our oil companies and weapons industry.

This is my position as a candidate for leader of the NDP.
The US has attacked a country, kidnapped its head of state, and is seizing its oil. Trump has invoked the Monroe Doctrine.

This is a moment for Canada to stand up: condemn this act of imperialism. Reject impunity and the politics of brute force.

He means the planet-heating business. And not one commentator has mentioned it today.
Blows my mind that some of the same journalists who see Trump as a want-to-be dictator at home are earnestly discussing the "challenges" for this same man to "bring democracy" to a country it just illegal invaded. Please grow up.

On the "boots on the ground" question and Trump saying that it will mainly be about protecting oil operations.

Given this framing, we should expect a massive payday for politically connected mercenary companies, who will use this to expand their private armies.

At 7:10 or so the winner of the 2025 Nobel peace prize praises Tr*mp & condones extralegal killings in service of regime change. At 14:15 she tells Biz Forum that Venezuela will be the “energy hub of the Americas,” & the “new global frontier of innovation and wealth creation.”
If you want to know what the plan is, traitorous stooge Machado told the America Business Forum back in November: privatizing oil to the tune of $1.7 trillion. She said the same thing at a Saudi forum. It’s remarkable how little pretense there is. youtu.be/l2J2JtO8R9Q?...

There used to be video of the spare kidney remark, but seems like someone doesn't like viral videos of themselves floating around.
