It's Safer in the Front Faced with intensifying repression and state violence, there is an understandable inclination to seek safety by avoiding confrontation. But this is not always the most effective strategy.

The Prairieland verdict is a reminder not to count on the courts to stop the rise of fascism.

This case is intended to set a precedent enabling the government to suppress all forms of resistance.

It must not discourage us from fighting as hard as we can against them.

Fighting is our only hope.

I know this is impossible for us discuss in this current moment but... People want to do interesting, thoughtful, creative, day to day work. They want to care for each other, and feel like they are contributing to something bigger.

It should be where we start when we think about our communities.

Trump on Iran: “Watch what happens to these deranged scumbags today…I, as the 47th President of the United States of America, am killing them. What a great honor it is to do so!”

I feel this strongly: I don't care. I am DISGUSTED that 175 little girls are dead and that thousands are dead across the region and that 1 million people are displaced in Lebanon alone. THIS IS EVIL.

BREAKING: As many as 150 U.S. troops have been wounded in the war with Iran, according to sources familiar—far higher than the Pentagon’s publicly disclosed figure of just 8 seriously wounded troops. The true toll of this war is already far worse than the public has been told. (Reuters)

The US is at war and repression at home is going to get worse.

I'm old enough to remember during the Iraq war the FBI infiltrating quaker meetings and vegan potlucks and cracking down on anti-war groups and outspoken Muslim leaders.

The US surveillance state has grown exponentially since then.

Kristi Noem Is Leaving a Trail of Death Behind Her in ICE Jails Two more deaths in ICE custody were reported this week, including a refugee who died after an untreated toothache.

Kristi Noem Is Leaving a Trail of Death Behind Her in ICE Jails

I've covered deaths in immigration prisons for years, but I've never seen so many people die of what appears to be preventable conditions in such a brief period of time.

This will come back to haunt them. It must.

Trump *is* doing debt cancellation.

It's just not your student or medical debts.

In his second term alone, Trump has already canceled $1.5 billion of criminal debt — payments fraudsters owe the federal government and victims.

They don't mind debt cancellation—for themselves.

‘Sky is the limit’: Analysts warn oil prices could surge further Energy analysts warned that oil prices could continue to rise in response to the war in the Middle East.

Just imagine where we’d be today if it weren’t for Big Oil’s decades-long campaign to deceive the public about the climate harms of its fossil fuel products and delay the transition to cleaner, safer, and more affordable energy sources.

business as usual mineral based construction, lime brick, reinforced concrete, fired brick, mineral wool with large raw material input, total material removal from nature and high primary energy input -> fossil fuel emission output.

If you want to combat species extinction, then make a change in construction, in the way we build.
The loss of biodiversity IS linked to the extraction of raw materials from nature.
Hanging up bird boxes, efficiency and using renewable energy is great, but it doesn't solve this problem. #RMI #TMR

The Shield of the Americas is a Trump right wing initiative, more like a regional alliance, for the Western Hemisphere, allegedly focused on "countering drug cartels, transnational criminal networks, and illegal migration."

The Shield of the Americas echoes the Monroe Doctrine, the School of the Americas, and Reagan's Central America interventions, all sold as fighting crime or communism, all functioning as mechanisms to extend US dominance and suppress governments that didn't align with DC.

Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Honduras, Panama, Paraguay, and Trinidad and Tobago are expected to join the initiative at the Doral summit. Notably, no Mexico, no Brazil, no Colombia. The biggest players in the region are absent.

Trump and the most corrupt governments in Latin America, here is what the so called "Shield of the Americas" is all about.

A number of European countries will likely break their sanctions on Russia and buy oil from them as a result of US and Israel’s actions in Iran that have closed off oil shipments. This will be a serious blow to Ukraine; the longer the US and Israel illegal war lasts the stronger Russia can become.
