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

Such a good idea but I'm too anti-consumption for this.
A bookstore birthday party?!?!Each of the party guests purchased the birthday girl a book from her TBR table. This is a win-win for the guest of honor AND the bookstore. This is such a cool way to celebrate your birthday #BookSky 📚🎂

This feels true for so many things, like smart phones and ultimately capitalism. There's no ethical way to engage with them.
At this point it’s been said in a hundred different ways, so I think people are being intentional about not getting it.

And Just like every time in history that fascism rises, comfortable Liberals are actively helping them because they fear the changes being asked for will threaten their personal class position.
The 150-page plan proposes to target groups with a wide array of attacks, ranging from stripping organizations of their nonprofit status, to filing RICO charges, to deporting immigrants who protest, to filing class-action lawsuits against groups like Students for Justice in Palestine.
The Right Has a 150-Page Battle Plan to Shut Down Progressive Civil Society
Attacks on Palestine solidarity are the opening salvo in the right’s stated plan to suppress social justice groups.

Friendly reminder! DO NOT LEAVE FOOD AT ENCAMPMENTS WITHOUT PERMISSION! We hear this all the time from unhoused people.
The food often is not eaten, attracts rats, & unhoused people have to clean it up.
Talk to people. Ask what they need, what they like. Be helpful, not a problem!
