Can't be overstated how pathetic it is to have your ultimate colonial fantasy just be a strip mall

yeah hundreds of people in cities under ICE occupation are trained on how to record raids *in their own neighborhoods*, defend people's rights and curb ICE's countless examples of abusing power. If you think she Had It Coming because of her ideology just say so you chickenshit
“[Renee Good] was trained against these ICE agents — what to do, what not to do, it’s a very thorough training,” Leesa (her comrade) told the NYPost. “To whistle when you see an ICE agent,” she added. She was not just going about her business.

Anyway, here was Kamala’s first presidential campaign ad.
Yes, Kamala would have prevented all this from happening, it’s not speculation. None of these things would be happening under her. Not a single one

The US is rogue, openly violating international law and the independence of foreign countries. Starmer meekly goes along with whatever Trump wants. This is a threat to peace and democracy everywhere. Join the national demo against US aggression! 📌11am, Saturday 10th, Edinburgh

This Isn’t the First Killing by ICE — and It Won’t Be the Last by @natashalennard

ICE shot a woman point-blank in Minneapolis. The agency’s raids and impunity were always going to lead to death.

Trust your own eyes as you watch the video of an ICE agent killing a civilian, not the administration’s narrative.

We're awash in other news but we've got an excellent piece up @theintercept that takes a long view on the history of American empire in Latin America and the many holes in Trump's plans for Venezuela https://t.co/5rmP9ZvVh7

America has carried out a coup in Venezuela to plunder the country’s resources. But Latin Americans will have the last word.

Dumb guys: It's all about the oil. Smart guys: That's way too simplistic, geopolitics is a complex balancing of competing interests including national security, human rights, competition from rivals. Here's a book by Kissinger you should read. Historical evidence: It's all about
“Mr Maduro’s claims that the US is solely motivated by oil. Those [claims] seem overblown.” - Guardian editorial board Dec 12.

Olivia Nuzzi attempts to explain her affair with RFK Jr. and how our country fell to Trump in her splashy book. She misses the point entirely.

The Israelis were very clear that this is what they would do. These quotes are from October 2023:
It is absolutely evil to deliberately destroy 90% of the houses in a region, force the survivors into makeshift tents, and ban the entry of hundreds of thousands of real tent shelters and temporary homes that the world has donated.

After nearly all legacy news organizations declined to sign on to Hegseth’s rules, the new Pentagon press corps is all his cheerleaders.

Pro-Israel group Democratic Majority for Israel: "While we congratulate Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, we urge him to prioritize fulfilling his campaign promises to bring down costs, not foreign policy issues that are unrelated to the everyday lives of most New Yorkers."
