Tyranny doesn’t do term limits. Fascism will not be waited away. Looking for fantasies that are going to make an extremely upsetting situation easily go away is not the best use of time. It’s good to deal with the reality of where we’re at. prismreports.org/2026/01/07/a...

Police and ICE are different but not in the sense that one is a lesser evil than the other.
We don’t need to compare what happened in Minneapolis to Nazi Germany. We can compare it to what has happened in Minneapolis before.

With the world's eyes on US oil interests, let's not forget who benefits: The richest of the rich. Our research shows: 50% of the record fossil fuel profits in 2022 went to the wealthiest 1% of US Americans, the bottom 50% only received 1%.

The Wyoming Supreme Court just ruled to protect abortion rights! They struck down the state's two abortion bans (yes, two).
I'm so thrilled for the people of Wyoming, but also for all of us—because the decision could actually help abortion rights everywhere.

Chevron is the largest private oil producer in Venezuela. I just found that one of its directors is CEO of Inter-Con Security, which holds massive contracts with the US Marshals Service & provides most of the Marshals who guard US federal courts - including the one holding Maduro today. #Spies4Hire

Public options for essentials, strategic price interventions, investment in housing and childcare — this is antifascist economics. It tackles the material conditions that make authoritarianism appealing.

“Gulf of America,” just like “Department of War,” was not a simple name change. It was a test to see public reaction. Imperialism doesn’t need to hide in plain sight.
This has always been America.
Hence we urgently need a shift from solidarity to sovereignty, as I have long said.

On January 1, 1804, revolutionaries established the independent country of Haiti, the first nation to permanently ban slavery. As we begin a year engulfed by the 250th anniversary of the US Declaration of Independence, it’s worth reading the Haitian Declaration of Independence in full. 🇭🇹

The US global empire has declined beyond recuperation. Trump hides a retreat to a western hemisphere empire by war on Venezuela. But just as wars lost in Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Ukraine did not stop US's empire's decline, wars in Latin America wont stop decline there either.
