Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara issued a stern warning to his officers on Thursday: Intervene when you see Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents using unlawful force or lose your job.

We need to end capitalism. leftymathprof.wordpress.com/endcap/#top

What did Karl Marx predict? He predicted that under unrestricted Capitalism money would be concentrated into the hands of a handful of individuals, that Governments would become controlled by the richest, and that wages would be subsistence level. He was right.

Water your tree.

Which is worse, Trump's Law or Sharia Law? I don't know, I've never studied Sharia Law. But I dislike Trump's Law very much. Especially the way that Trump's ICE discarded the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution.

communism causes great human suffering if it goes wrong, capitalism does it by design

Capitalism has been destroying the world for many years, but recently it has become a conscious process. georgetsakraklides.substack.com/p/when-profi...

The struggle among humans is between those who believe mutual aid is human nature, like bonobos, and want society based on that, and those who believe mutual aid is NOT human nature, like chimpanzees, and want society on that. But like baboons, we can change: www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4UM...

Don't use the word "degrowth." jasonhickel.substack.com/p/how-popula...

Instead of "Democratic politicians" I would say "opponents of Trump." I do not associate myself with either of the genocide parties.

Genocide is mass murder, no matter which party.

I'm still working on my leaflet, but it doesn't seem to be doing much good. Maybe music might be more effective. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xGx...

100% true. Trump is just a hateful fuckwit who attacks anyone who dares to question his ignorant, unintelligent, unlawful, racist, bigoted bullshit. May he fall asleep in the middle of another meeting and hopefully, doesn’t wake up.

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders. What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Many people have been asking, "should we eliminate AI before it eliminates us?" I wish they would ask the same question about capitalism.

The attack on Venezuela isn't really anything new.

If we were sharing everything, then people would look at both sides of every decision.

The Craziest Thing In The World Is That We Could End Poverty, But We Don't It’s just so insane how this doesn’t sit front and center in our attention all the time. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/the-crazie...

Some of the fascists are talking about defending "western civilization." I suggest that we non-fascists and anti-fascists start using the phrase "human civilization." I think we humans will survive together or not at all. (Though how we will convert the fascists, I haven't a clue.)

Capitalism is the source of all our problems. New revision: leftymathprof.wordpress.com/endcap/#top

The USA has had many, many wars, all based on lies, all of them illegal. Most current members of congress have been there long enough to share blame for some of the wars. That is, they are mass murderers. Vote for a third party candidate instead.

All this fuss about "don't follow illegal orders." But the USA has had many, many wars, all based on lies, all of them illegal.

I'm tired of people making up bad stuff about Russia. Particulaly people in the US propaganda mill. And that includes the stuff about the invasion of Ukraine being unprovoked.

“an ecosystem predicted to collapse in the 2090s owing to the creeping rise of a single source of stress, such as global temperatures, could, in a worst-case scenario, collapse in the 2030s”

To end fascism in the USA, I guess the first step is to explain to more people what it is we don't like about fascism. Currently, my own explanation begins with "fascism = bullying."

Somehow we must end the occupation of the USA. And soon.

Q. So what are the chances of a multiple-breadbasket failure in about 5 yrs time ? A. 18% Q. And what would the impacts be ? A. Massive (image from @doctorvive.bsky.social book, “The Language of Climate Politics”)

It's a conclusion I've been trying to avoid, but I'm becoming convinced: The rich can't be reasoned with, so we'll have to kill them, I don't know how. Otherwise everyone, rich and poor, will soon die, in an ecosystem collapse caused by the rich. I wonder if I'll get in trouble for saying that.

My brother's columns are intended to be humorous. Here is his latest. substack.com/inbox/post/1...

"It could push ecosystems past catastrophic tipping points..." -- That may be worse than people realize. It may mean further warming. We're in uncharted territory. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

[capitalism] = [absence of empathy] = [fascism]

Around 15 years ago I was saying things like (*) we need to end capitalism, not just for all the reasons that the Marxists talk about, but also because capitalism is about to destroy the climate and kill us all. * didn't really catch on back then. But just lately lots of people have been saying *.

So, below is EU President von der Leyen saying that the EU is "not fighting fossil fuels, only emissions." And here is the Saudi envoy to COP30 saying exactly the same thing. I'm telling you: climate politics are unified around the lie that we can keep fossil fuels & still deal w climate anyway.

Some Democrats recently reminded the military that they are legally obligated to disobey any illegal orders they are given. But we've had many, many wars, all of them illegal, all of them based on bipartisan lies by congress. The plutocracy LIKES (and profits from) wars.

I'm hoping for a great awakening in which all of our society realizes bullying is bad, and the bullies decide to turn over a new leaf. But I have to admit, "hoping" does not sound like a particularly forceful strategy.

Our military members must understand: at Nuremberg, German officers and soldiers who hid behind the “just following orders” excuse were held accountable. Many were imprisoned. Many were executed. That precedent is iron law. Those who murdered innocent brown fishermen are condemned. Don’t join them.

When Trump was murdering people of Venezuela and other Latin American countries, no one in congress said anything to stop him. But when Trump said "now let's kill the Democrats," the Democrats said "wait, what?"

Senator Murphy sounds the alarm as Trump calls for the deaths of Dems who served the country to be killed for reminding the military their loyalty is to the constitution not to him 🇺🇸

We don't need capitalism We just don't
