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 Milei’s 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 capitalists’.

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.

42 million face hunger, ICE build up and militarization are moving to terrorize Black and brown immigrants, the orange is attempting to end open speech, our collective resources are being marshaled for war in places most people can’t identify on maps. We must become ungovernable.

The US, UK, and the West, are supporting UAE. UAE is supporting the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The RSF is committing genocide in El Fasher, Sudan. End the genocide now!

Who can’t see the so called trade truce is the orange walking hat in hand , tip toeing around Xi, the obvious power holder? All this bravado and bluster about Venezuela and now Nigeria is cover for waning US might and an attempt to reclaim imperial dominance as it falters. #nowar

Keep your filthy orange mitts off of Venezuela and Nigeria.
November 2, 2025 at 10:21 AM
The US, the UK and the West have blood on their hands in Sudan. They have not pressured the UAE to stop supporting what every expert saw coming with the RSF genocide in Sudan. It is because the UAE is a big investor in the West. Blood money. Genocide money. End the genocide now!!
