The US and the World needs senators like Cory Bookers to stand and speak up, also then when the US and its corporate and military machinery is causing havoc to the citizens of the Global South, not only domestically.

Deadly strikes in Gaza as Israel says it will seize 'large areas' At least 19 people are reported killed in Jabalia as Israel's defence minister says it is expanding ground operations.

Israel's escalating attacks on Gaza are inflicting horror and devastation onto Palestinians.

We demand the UK end its complicity in this horrific assault, and use every tool at its disposal to end this violence - NOW.

Imagine if all those who are silent about the terrible evil being committed in Gaza spoke up | Owen Jones No crime in history has been so well documented by its victims. And yet inaction and censorship reign, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

“A dead baby in a rainbow jumpsuit; a grieving father playing with the pigtail of his daughter for the last time; entire families covered in shrouds, their bloodlines wiped from the civil registry.

No crime has been so evidenced by experts as it happened.” #Gaza

Please help me choose the cover of my forthcoming edited book! Thanks 🙏🏼

This is problematic, but also revealing, because earlier those same voices denied altogether the existence of such global power and talked about democracy and sovereignty of all countries.

Posts where EU flex their imperial muscles, talking about the EU needing to defeat China, beat up Russia and take over the US role of the world's leader gain 1000s of likes actoss Social media platforms.

To be clear, I am referring here to EU leaders and citizens calls for Europe to rise up as an imperial power, as the US was/is, rather than the obvious need for Europe to stop being the US dependent - something that it should have done already.

The calls for the EU to take on the world's leadership, that we are seeing is troubling in so many ways.

It doesn't only speak of the EU's will to dominate, but also about its deeply rooted colonial minset that the global South is incompetent & require a master, "the Leader of the Free World".

Maybe we don't need to think in terms of "poles" and sides, but pluriverse worlds of collaboration that embrace and celebrate differences.

But we have to be conscident of the fact that that metaphorical "house" has been built on the scaffolding made up of violence and domination.

This one truth doesn't exclude others. The decades of a kinder version of domination has birthed some - even many, even if not equally for all - good, prosperity and equality, and it is this ideology that the Liberals and Democrats of our time don't want to give up, and understandably so.

And no, things haven't changed now, things have just been revealed for all to see. After all those technologies and ideologies are the very foundation of the West. It's masks that have fallen.

What we are seeing in these latest days of the Western world as we know it, is its full, unbeaten commitment to the ideologies and technologies of domination including colonialism, genocide, plunder, racism, and fascism. (1/2)

That's the standard covered up in diplomatic mirage for the public.The difference with Trump is that he is a bully as a person, not only as political player. So he makes his vassals grovel in public. Disgusting to see, I agree, but let's not romanticise too much the US politics otherwise, be4 Trump.

Re. the confrontation btw. Zelenskyy & Trump-Vance yesterday. Let's not forget, the US is the most powerful military empire. Spare for the few closest allies (Israel) & few who have managed to avoid its influence & stand on its own legs (China), you either bow down before it or you get beat up (1/2)
