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 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.

Trump admin bullying Venezuela is an open colonial heist. Itâs âgive us all your oil or we will run up.â 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.

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 donât think we can ignore that the two hot spots of genocidal violence on the African continentâDRC and Sudanâhost extensive mine interests by Chinese companies and that the ârebelsâ 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 countryâs slipping hegemony since the use of force is geopolitically expensive. Its giving the opposite of actual power

What could we imagine if both governing parties didnât squander our collective wealth bombing (or bombing by proxy) poor Black and brown people all over the world and locking us up and running ice here? What if we gave one f-15 jet budget to every school district, or iceâs budget to public clinics?

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

Support for Javier Mileiâs chaotic regime is explained by two factors. 1. Argentina is a test case for right wing, hostile political and economic reordering around a new level extreme disregard for the well-being of a national population for short run profit. 2. Milei booted China from rare earths.

in the US we will have to reckon with the costs of imperial chauvinism forwarded by both parties and all mainstream institutions that hid from us that China ended poverty while we have been immiserated, that Cuba has better longevity despite embargo, and that our interests are not the capitalistsâ.

This is yet another example of how you beat the far right. By beating them, not trying to be them. By having your own agenda, not aping theirs. With courage and conviction - and humour - not fear and timidity.
