"No matter how crude or clumsy Trump may be in forcing his will upon the world, his grandiose and murderous entitlement is directly continuous with his predecessors’."

"These attacks are causing much suffering for Iranian people, and it’s destroying the space in which Iranians were struggling for social justice and civil liberties” - Behrooz Ghamari-Tabrizi, once imprisoned on death row in Iran. www.democracynow.org/2026/3/2/ira...

Did anyone expect anything different?

What the genocide in Gaza reinforced is that there are no "civilians" when it comes to Israel and the United States. The rest of the world learned the same lesson and the consequences are going to be felt across the world.

In this cold!!! The level of determination is humbling & inspiring.

We will win.

Bishop's words are ever more striking

The longstanding practice of imperial impunity makes this possible, as it did with the extrajudicial boat bombings. No interest in legal legitimacy only in expanding its many methods of coercion

The murder that led to an uprising around the world The murder of George Floyd on May 25, 2020, proved, again, there are people to whom seemingly anything can be done with impunity

"George Floyd’s death was an event, but the story of his dying continues to unfold."

AI hype produces this frantic rush into tech accelerationism. It's part of the disciplinary power of the AI project. This piece is great corrective:

"Decomputing allows for not only a shift to less stuff in general but also to a focus on taking better care of what we already have"

Canada bill targeting refugees feared to signal new era of US-style border policy Bill C-12 includes many changes around border security along with new ineligibility rules for refugee claimants

"Canada’s Liberal government is pushing through sweeping new legislation targeting refugees that observers fear will usher in a new era of US-style border policies, fueling xenophobia and the scapegoating of immigrants."

Ten years of fortress Europe has served only cruelty, profiteers and racists. The next decade is up to us | Maurice Stierl The hard right and far right are the political winners from the migration ‘crisis’, but only because centrist parties keep legitimising them, says migration and border researcher Maurice Stierl

Same thing afoot in Canada

"Crisis narratives sustain a political economy of fear, and have driven far-reaching transformations of Europe’s border architecture and migration policy"

Trump’s mass deportation policy is taking American democracy with it There are historical parallels to be observed with the Nazi regime’s deportations and Kristallnacht

"One of the things we did get is a doubling down on the scapegoating of migrants, international students, refugees when it comes to the housing and affordability crisis, and this budget really represents a retreat from the humanitarian obligations that Canada has to refugees."

Genocide resumes, reads this weekend's cover of @thecontinent.org, as El Fasher falls to the Rapid Support Forces after a year long siege.

Gruesome images of their killing spree that is estimated to have killed thousands, make the rounds. What Sudanese activists warned would happen is playing out.

Read @thecontinent.org article on the fall of El Fasher and how it fits into the longer advance of Hemedti and the RSF

Capital concentration is a primary goal of the long project of AI

"Without policy action, AI will not deliver the transformational productivity gains Canada needs; instead, it will preserve stagnation with higher profits for those already at the top"

The one call to action people could amplify is a trade and arms embargo on the UAE until they stop arming and supporting the RSF. The UAE is one of Canada and the US’ biggest trading partners in the MENA region.

UN leaders condemn ‘horrifying’ mass killings in Sudan Emergency security council session criticises killings of civilians in El Fasher and external supply of arms to RSF

“Communications have been cut off. The situation is chaotic. In this context, it is difficult to estimate the number of civilians killed. Despite commitments to protect civilians, the reality is that no one is safe in El Fasher.”

The Caribbean boat strikes are egregiously illegal under both US domestic law and US-ratified international treaties.

Anyone carrying them out is following an illegal order. (Is that why Adm. Holsey resigned?)

Trump will not be in power forever, and will not save war criminals from accountability.
