It’s wild how European leaders are wringing their hands about a US invasion of Greenland being a violation of international law when just the other day they stood aside or even cheered as the US invaded Venezuela in violation of international law.

Over and over the US inflicts obscene violence against the global South, in flagrant violation of international law, to maintain the conditions for capital accumulation for its decadent billionaire class. It's disgusting and intolerable. We cannot continue to accept this.

The richest 10% control 94% of total capital-ownership assets in the United States. They determine how to use our labour and resources, what we produce, and how our surplus is deployed. They determine the direction of our civilization. It is the antithesis of democracy.

The winter storm has turned Gaza into an open tragedy:
Families are being pulled from beneath collapsed homes, children shiver to their last breath, & plastic tents offer no protection from rain or cold.
