Forgive me, but…
I guess I see despoiling as an ongoing process, against nature and other animals as much as with first peoples

But absolutely agree — it would be wonderful if something like the land back movement saves and indeed transforms America’s National Parks into something even greater!

Maybe Trump’s profane and puerile plan to toy with the National Parks for his birthday celebration might work to throw more light on the connection between the symbolism of these parks, “conservation” and the settler colonial mindset/framework?

In any case, thanks for giving the interview!

With all due respect to Francesca
Albanese, the West is not being hypocritical viz. Palestinians but acting at its most Western

What Gaza actually exposes is a nationalist-state system created in the wake of imperialism doing what it does best, exterminating, line-drawing and scarring the earth

Regardless, looking forward to reading your book when it comes out 🥰

Lots of good wishes with the final touches!

Also, something often missed in the discussion of the 14th amendment is that it didn’t merely guarantee citizenship to African Americans, but it imposed it upon them — they were denied a free choice about whether they wanted to belong (& become complicit) in the settler-colonial project of America

Citizenship creates an apartheid system and there should be serious talks about its dismantling — no one should be persecuted because they are not a “citizen”

Trump is getting rid of birthright for fascist, racist reasons, but this doesn’t mean it should be reinforced in response

I guess the un/disenfranchised are the ones with the real gripes 😂

Sounds like everyone got what they wanted…

The people who voted for Harris technically elected Trump (because when you participate in a representative democracy, you vote not just for your candidate but authorize whoever wins)

Those who abstained, allowed Trump to “win” by default

It seems to me that the slaughter in Gaza is much more than a simple narrative of colonization, but the outgrowth of the cartel of a globalized capitalist world that seeks to force the peoples between the river to the sea into nationalist states, either by extermination or grotesque line-drawing…

Maybe it is willful (invested) ignorance!?!

There are so many “red flags” that suggest he is wedded to the racial-capitalist system and the animal-industrial and military complex

And even worse, the attention his campaign receives throws shade on any real movement towards total liberation

Though even they are destroying the air, water, & soil, rendering the very planet that sustains their life uninhabitable…

Perhaps this is the reason why they are so invested in exploring outer space and getting to Mars?

Starbucks and it’s model of exploitation is an abomination…

Unfortunately, in this country and the city of New York, it is not an aberration

Oppression is no cure for repression

A country dragging and disappearing people off the streets has no business policing anyone else

No war with Venezuela!
December 4, 2025 at 4:13 PM
Maybe it is also time to boycott these American institutions that keep enabling and indeed empowering these world atrocities!
December 4, 2025 at 10:24 AM
A national of laws, like slavery and segregation?

Kidding aside, it doesn’t seem like the United States, of all nations, has much of moral right to exclude anyone given its history

“Give me your tired, your poor
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest- tost to me…”

Too bad there is not more of that sentiment expressed by Emma Lazarus held in America

Why not a primary? You would think the Democrats would want a Democracy…
December 3, 2025 at 9:21 PM
The fact is, a vote for Harris was representatively a vote for Trump, giving legitimacy to the imperialist system that ascribes him destructive power
December 3, 2025 at 7:49 PM
Maybe instead of “deregulating” they should de-corporatize healthcare

No one should be profiting off somebody’s sickness…

End the health insurance cartel!

It is rare to find someone privileged enough not to be forced to participate in the capitalist system at all…

But if people can limit their consumption, and when they engage do it with resistance in their heart, it would be quite the victory in every instance!
December 3, 2025 at 3:14 PM
“Only nonviolent protest works”… if it awakens people to the oppressive institutional system that is consuming them?

Unfortunately, Americans have shown an amazing resilience to remain in such an abusive relationship
December 3, 2025 at 3:05 PM
At the same time, behind the derision is another valid concern about how the potential for in-fighting could derail a movement towards real change…
December 3, 2025 at 10:19 AM
You sure got a lot of backlash for a comment, whether made in good faith or not, that captures a serious concern about performative solidarity, career politics, and the limits/hazards of reforming an oppressive system such as aggressive capitalism from within
