“Are we the baddies?” is not a question anyone in the West has to ask themselves. There’s no question about it. You were. You are. Will you continue to be? That’s the only question that matters and the answer is entirely up to you.
Silence is complicity.
Inaction is complicity.
Apologism is complicity.

She argues that the current system, driven by fossil fuel interests, colonialism, imperialism, and exploitation, is fundamentally responsible for environmental destruction and social injustice.
While she has been a prominent figure for several years, her media presence has fluctuated. Recently, she has received renewed attention, particularly after high-profile events lik…

Trump’s political success has always hinged on him knowing how to be a reality TV star, knowing better than the news orgs themselves that political “news” is in fact reality TV, knowing how to manipulate that reality TV show.
And today, he failed at that completely. His reality show sucked. The news of the day just ran right over him. kolektiva.social/@Voline/11468

Trump has ordered more troops to Los Angeles and Washington than he currently has stationed in Syria and Iraq combined.
He seems more willing to use the military against Americans than against Iranians.
He celebrates a show of force on U.S. soil even as he denounces “endless wars” outside its borders.

Trump and his allies wasted little time in branding the people protesting against immigration enforcement raids in Los Angeles as “insurrectionists”.
Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff for policy
– particularly the vindictive kind
– spoke darkly of a “violent insurrection”.
JD Vance, the vice-president, inveighed against “insurrectionists carrying foreign flags” on the streets of the nation’s second-biggest city.

Robert Reich here, with breaking news:
The House of Representatives has voted to take back a whopping $1.1 billion in federal funding for public broadcasting.

Henry Clay Frick was a union buster

In 1892, he hired hundreds of Pinkerton detectives
— a private army of thugs with guns
— to quell a strike against a Pennsylvania steel mill.
Ten men were killed, dozens injured, and the situation became so inflamed that the state militia was called in to break the workers’ resistance.
Frick, who made a fortune supplying the coal derivative known as coke
to Andrew Carnegie’s steel company, where Frick later served…

A heady throng of tech billionaires, ministers, corporate titans and the king of the Netherlands have convened in Sweden for the 71st Bilderberg meeting

The four days of transatlantic talks are taking place at the swanky Grand hotel,
which is owned, like so much else in Sweden, by the Wallenbergs.

The Falcon Heavy, which according to the EIS, has not launched out of Vandenberg Space Force Base in the past, would launch a maximum of five times per year from the SLC-6.
Because of the Falcon Heavy’s two side boosters landing separately, …

“Using this tragedy to push your own political agenda is disgraceful, people are dead,” Democratic activist Nina Turner replied on X.

When Donald Trump last attended a Group of 7 meeting in Canada, he was in many ways the odd man out.
At that meeting, in 2018, Trump called for the alliance of Western countries to embrace Russia,
antagonized allies and
ultimately stormed out of the summit over a trade battle he began by imposing metals tariffs on Canada.
As he returns on Sunday for the Group of 7 meeting in Alberta, those fissures have only deepened.
Since retaking office, the president has sough…
