It's pure toxic & naked Southern Confederacy ethos:
2025 NSS is the logical outcome of an outdated Southern Confederate ethos. It revives themes of cultural purity, hierarchical order, and hemispheric dominance, which stand in tension with modern democratic values of diversity, equity & inclusion.

Caine using deliberately ambiguous language abt "combat power in our own neighborhood"-interpretable as either hemispheric military pivot OR domestic deployment normalization. By design. The mastery of plausible deniability by this admin is maddening b/c it requires our participation to succeed.

“It is much cheaper to help Ukraine stop Putin now! We must understand Ukraine is fighting what Canada may have to. We all must stop this hemispheric totalitarian strategy from Xi, Trump and Putin. The world must stand against it.” 🇨🇦

Venezuela has reauthorized US deportation flights, and more than 13,000 people have already been sent back. Trump’s pressure campaign is reshaping hemispheric politics in real time, with migrants caught in the middle.

A. Western Hemisphere: The Trump Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine After years of neglect, the United States will reassert and enforce the Monroe Doctrine to restore American preeminence in the Western Hemisphere, and to protect our homeland and our access to key geographies throughout the region. We will deny non-Hemispheric competitors the ability to position forces or other threatening capabilities, or to own or control strategically vital assets, in our Hemisphere. This “Trump Corollary” to the Monroe Doctrine is a common-sense and potent restoration of American power and priorities, consistent with American security interests.

Commentary: The Trump’s new National Security Strategy emphasizes "America First," prioritizing business, migration control and hemispheric defense while largely ignoring traditional security threats and international commitments.
Trump’s unapologetically ‘America First’ National Security Strategy
The U.S. stands taller, yet smaller, in the new National Security Strategy.

The NSS views the Western Hemisphere (notably, not limited to Latin America) as a zone of exclusive U.S. economic and strategic influence. The U.S., it says, will “deny non-Hemispheric competitors the ability to position forces… and to own or control strategically vital assets in our Hemisphere,” defining “strategically vital assets” broadly to include critical minerals, cyber communication networks and infrastructure, too. It makes U.S. alliances contingent on countries in the Hemisphere “winding down adversarial outside influence” and buying American. The sentiment might be aimed primarily at China but the language of the NSS would apply to any outside power. This runs counter to Prime Minister Mark Carney’s plans to diversify Canada’s trade and defence relationships away from the United States. The NSS delivers a vision of extraterritorial economic nationalism that sees the sovereignty of allies, including Canada, as something “lesser” to be dominated – particularly worrying in the context of Mr. Trump’s repeated musings about using economic coercion to make Canada the 51st state. Those who thought the age of imperialism ended more than a century ago might have just been proven wrong.

Winter has arrived. Cloud deck and fog to the ground. Snow covering the ground. White and gray landscape. Posted below is beaming color from June. Blanketflower, a favorite, is a very common #wildflower of the Pacific Northwest. Scattered across e. U.S. and Europe. Habitat: open meadows, prairies.
Blanketflower is a member of the Aster family. It is a perennial with a taproot. Grows to a height between four and twenty inches. Plant is covered with short hairs. Leaves are basal, lance-shaped, alternate and have a longish petiole. Flower heads are hemispheric in shape with both ray flowers (yellow petals) and disk flowers (purplish-red) present. Usually one per peduncle. Reference: Montana Field Guide (https://fieldguide.mt.gov/speciesDetail.aspx?elcode=PDAST3Y030)

I'm of two minds on the potential impact of this.

Under any other US admin, the IACHR would be a good venue, as it is a central plank in the liberal hemispheric order the US has used to pressure regional govts for decades.

Under Trump, it probably just means tough times ahead for the IACHR.

Philly-area grad students (regardless of institution) -- I have 1-2 spots in my spring seminar, Readings in the History of Capitalism. We'll meet on Wednesdays from 2-4:20. Email or DM if you're interested.
Course Description: This seminar will examine the emergence of the new history of capitalism: a synthesis of labor, economic, urban, and business history that has coalesced in the years since the Great Recession. Like the field more broadly, the course is anchored in the United States, but it adopts a hemispheric and global scope and is designed to be of interest to students across several areas of study. Our conversations will be grounded in a comparative analysis of various methodologies, scholarly interventions, and the dynamics of field formation. Particular emphasis will be placed on the recent efflorescence of work on racial capitalism, which posits a mutually constitutive relationship between racial formation and capitalist political economy

Obviously there are lots of layers to the illegal boat attacks, including the basic reality that we're led by bloodthirsty fascist scumbags.

But I've said it before & I'll say it again: our conversations about so much would shift if we could recognize our shared, foundational hemispheric histories.

Trump's Honduras election interference, plus the Hernández pardon, amount to a test run of a foreign policy in which grievances, authoritarians, and fantasies of a hemispheric crusade all line up.

Trump announced a pardon to a former Hondras president, Juan Orlando Hernández, who is on a 45-year US prison sentence for drug trafficking. Rather than serving as a reliable partner in drug trafficking, Trump demonstrates that alignment with its hemispheric agenda matters more than accountability.

"Americans are people from the US" is a perfectly fine and grammatical and understandable sentence at which no one would bat an eye, unless they're looking for signs of overweening Hemispheric Arrogance real hard.
