I’m afraid The IDF raid at Birzeit University in the West Bank is the harbinger of our Spring on US campuses.

Trump admin bullying Venezuela is an open colonial heist. It’s ‘give us all your oil or we will run up.’ Half the oil is already processed by Chevron. This is a geopolitical play to further interrupt Chinese mineral and energy interests. US maneuvers against China are driving the path to global war.

Striking a sovereign country, kidnapping its leader, and opening a new war in our not so innocent names and with our collective wealth. The Trump admin is firing on all fascist cylinders. #HandsOffVenezuela

If tonight’s planned white house telecast is not to announce illegal war on Venezuela I’ll be shocked. #HandsOffVenezuela

A system that can’t halt genocide but continues to amass enough lethal force to destroy all known life, that can make resources available to some with a click but can’t provide food and water to all, and that can build death camps while hurricane victims remain unhoused must be uprooted and replaced

Hot conflicts and genocides all around metals and minerals. How long before all these proxy wars manifest as just full on World War III? We must demand peace and organize global solidarities that displace our current systems, national and international with something centered in the right to dignity

I don’t think we can ignore that the two hot spots of genocidal violence on the African continent—DRC and Sudan—host extensive mine interests by Chinese companies and that the “rebels” in one and the RSF the other are backed indirectly by the US or US allies. Please point me to some good reporting.

Bullying poor countries with the biggest martial force in the history of earth, is the surest sign of moral and social decay. It also illustrates the country’s slipping hegemony since the use of force is geopolitically expensive. Its giving the opposite of actual power apnews.com/article/trum...

What could we imagine if both governing parties didn’t squander our collective wealth bombing (or bombing by proxy) poor Black and brown people all over the world and locking us up and running ice here? What if we gave one f-15 jet budget to every school district, or ice’s budget to public clinics?
