Everyone is born with a James Baldwin passage specifically engineered to make you kill yourself and it is your mission in your adulthood to find it.

The US is the single worst thing humanity has ever created--an infinite holocaust machine which wages an unrelenting war against life itself. Its existence is predicated on mass extinction, up to and including human societies. Every day it persists is a new planetary emergency.

There’s been an unwillingness to discuss who was brought to the U.S. in 2021, treating all those who were brought as helpless refugees versus that many were war criminals who assisted in U.S. violence against civilians. I’ve spoken to a few Afghan activists/social workers in the

In a better world Bari Weiss would be on trial at The Hague for murdering Refaat Alareer instead of serving as a well-paid censor for a billionaire family.

Everyone likes to watch torrented films at home but underground and avant-garde stuff isn’t available on the internet until people make, restore, digitize, distribute it. Studios don’t pay for that. Support efforts to do those things so we can have art to appreciate

Global powers are not trying to stop Sudan’s war. They are trying to live with it. Refugees must be contained, markets protected, embarrassment avoided. Civilian deaths become statistics. Suffering becomes background noise. This is not peace. It is comfort built on others graves.

The attack on Venezuela is merely an extension of the class war on the planet, the oil merchants and merchants of death eager to set aside any project that believes that the social surplus should be for human good and not for the bank accounts of the capitalists. This is not

The US attack on Venezuela is part of a larger US imperialist assault on all of Latin America. This is the US empire's plan. It was spelled out clearly in the Trump administration's 2025 National Security Strategy. The US seeks to forcibly impose its hegemony in the entire

Renee Nicole Good is the second person who has been killed by ICE this week. In LA, ICE killed Keith Porter in his own home as he celebrated on New Year’s Eve.

They’ve been murdering people the whole time

Should I ever be murdered by the state, I want it to be known I do want vengeance. I want people to make whatever decisions they feel necessary, in righteous anger and rage. I wouldn’t want y’all to be peaceful, accept any apologies, or forgive my murderer. I don’t forgive them.

Trump helped Milei of Argentina win the election. Milei announced last month that land in Patagonia will be on sale to foreigners. This month, Israeli bombs were found in the forest, burning it down so they can buy the land cheaply. Local indigenous people are losing
