This illegal invasion of another country while its citizens sleep is a cynical act of American imperialism.
The fact that Venezuela has some of the world’s largest oil reserves makes this feel very familiar.
Greens stand against this contempt of international law.

Keir Starmer says he wants to establish facts by *watching Donald Trumps press conference.*
People said giving him a second state visit was a genius move of strategy - really seems to have paid off.
Special relationship - alive and kicking.

America!
During the holiday season, we all want to spend time with our loved ones.
And yet, just two months after buying Walgreens for $10 billion, the private equity firm Sycamore Partners stripped hourly workers of paid vacation, including Christmas and New Year’s Day.
Shameful.

On June 24, I began my Election Night speech by quoting Mandela: “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” That's the spirit of this campaign, and our city.
This is "Until It’s Done,” a new series about New Yorkers who refused to accept that a worthy goal was impossible.

Thinking more about how the West’s humanitarian aid, esp. “food security & livelihoods”, was set up in war-torn countries in large part to create conditions for capitalist expansion. Now many are experiencing the alienation, displacement, & culture death that comes w/ economic “formalization”

Though have to say, Picking up industrial remains (glass, concrete, piping..) across the way from a decommissioned nuclear plant feels…ominous? But correct for Scotland’s post-industrial/late capitalist crisis

The truth revealed below.
Yes, AI will have societal benefits. But left unchecked, the downside will drown the upside.
CEOs are going to lay off millions of workers and then use the savings to supersize the concentration of wealth and economic power.

The mainstream media narrative is neoliberal capitalism—not socialism, not conservatism, not classical liberalism. News media won’t expose system failure due to misled austerity AND it won’t overtly support racism—it’ll protect a “middle” open market+mass/margina. labor+private property at all costs
