End this megalomaniacal war NOW before it is nuclear winter!

Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas. "He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger." www.bbc.com/news/article...

Express righteous anger with your students. They deserve to see us vulnerable, angry, and all the emotions. It opens space for them to also feel the same and from that potentially to move in passion, spontaneity, and collectivity.

No war with Iran! Hands off Cuba! Leave Venezuela tf alone! end the genocides in Sudan and Palestine! Stop mettling in Haiti! And abolish ICE!

The fascist belligerent states, the US and Israel, are determined to create global war. Stop bombing Iran NOW!

This week at Berkeley African American studies for the June Jordan experience provided a necessary boost. I feel affirmed and also like i have so much more to do. I feel blessed.

We no longer have Republicans and Democrats. We have an Authoritarian party and a Status quo party.

No war with Iran! Hands off Cuba! Leave Venezuela tf alone! end the genocides in Sudan and Palestine! Stop mettling in Haiti! And abolish ICE!

The plan to invade Haiti with US led UN forces to “neutralize” 13,000 mostly young “gang members” or “insurgents” in April will be another disaster if we do not interrupt this. Meanwhile they hope to deport 400,000 people there also. #handsoffHaiti haitiantimes.com/2026/02/12/u...

Hands off Cuba!

Hands off Cuba!

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps. If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

hive mind, what thorough books do you recommend on the Sandinistas?

The bloated orange’s racist video of the Obamas is fucked up. It is also a ruse and distraction as the fascists flail us all toward destruction with their klan domestic and foreign policy. Stay woke.

The Epstein files are drawing out how the global western elite made connections through trading children for sex. Off with their heads. All of them. If they were involved, if they knew and didn’t do anything, take them to the guillotine.

Leave Cuba alone and call off your lap dog Rubio, you bloated orange puss pocket.

The coming hours and days in Minneapolis are crucial. ICE killed a man and is violently repressing protestors. We will begin to interrupt the fascists decisively in the coming days or we will wake up to full arsenal unchecked state backed autocratic capitalism.

The Kushner revealed “master plan” for Gaza is incendiary, racist, genocidal, and terroristic.

Gnomes are better planted in gardens.

Free Palestine!

June Jordan had bars. But today I’m feeling this lil snippet because it feels like where we at in the fascist blitz: “A mack truck mother fuck.” Naw it’s not her most pointed sophisticated political lines but it get right at where I’m feeling we at. 😭😭

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

Leave Cuba tf alone.

This is also proxy war, a la Cold War 2.0, with China.

Them perp walking Maduro is incendiary.

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

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...
