In October, I attended the @empirefiles.bsky.social LA film premiere for their new documentary, Earth’s Greatest Enemy. By far, one of the most crucial topics & reporting of our lifetime. A must-watch!

For our most recent newsletter, journalist Morgan Keith spoke with Abby Martin about her documentary, "Earth's Greatest Enemy." The film chronicles how the escalation of climate catastrophes across the world are deeply entwined with the carbon footprint of the U.S. military-industrial complex.
Abby Martin’s new documentary takes aim at one of the world’s largest polluters: the U.S. military
Martin spoke with The Southlander about “Earth’s Greatest Enemy,” and her revolutionary optimism about the growing consciousness of people around the globe.

Maduro taken to NY MDC where Luigi is also held at
I just learned you can bet money on war crimes
“What appears to be a newly created account appeared to invest $30,000 Friday in Maduro's exit. After Maduro went into custody Saturday morning, that same investor netted $436,759.61.”
Someone made $400K by predicting Maduro's capture. Here's what happened
The winnings come as the rules governing prediction markets are still evolving.

None of these people ever think about the blowback or the consequences from regime change, nation building, or other kinds of foreign policy interventionsm. You can never predict the fallout and Trump went in with a completely dumb idea of initiating regime change by force.

Overthrowing the government of Iran and installing the shah led to the Iranian revolution and the Ayatollah. Funding the Mujahideen in Afghanistan led to the taliban and Al queda. These unlawful actions could have destabilizing consequences for decades and this will haunt the US for generations.

Sourcing records can be a grueling process. The cops don’t like to give them out, city attorneys find every excuse to withhold them, city council members straight up delete them, it is no wonder transparency can lead to change, and

thing about not being able to the fed gov is factually inaccurate. It’s not always the same type of copyright claim in the same court, but you can absolutely sue the federal government over your stolen work.
