This is the definitive point by Chris Hedges, re: Noam Chomsky and Epstein. Chomsky's entire value as a public intellectual is to know what people like Epstein are up to and why. Him feigning ignorance is absurd, and if it were true it would undermine the rest of his career.

The United States is purposefully blockading Cuba from accessing fuel that powers everything from grocery stores to hospitals. People will die. Children will die. What's being done to the people of Cuba is monstrous.
The people in power were ok with it in Gaza and now they're doing it to Cuba.

I just found out that in Kerala, India, most prisoners get 15 days leave to visit their families every three months.
Fewer than 100 women are incarcerated in the state, which has a population nearly the size of California.
Levels of humanity and civilization unheard of in the U.S.

I’ve been saying that Carney, unlike many of his peers in the EU or former PM Trudeau, actually understands global power relations. His recent remarks at Davos and deals with China suggest he will try to act shrewdly in Canada’s interests. He’s still a neoliberal though.

ICE just murdered a woman here in Minneapolis. A legal observer. Shot her multiple times while she drove away as ordered. She was a US citizen.
Absolute, unequivocal, cold-blooded murder by Trump’s gestapo.
Abolish ICE, jail for everyone in charge. This is the lowest bar we accept now.
