To be clear, I don't particularly care that Elon Musk very clearly made Nazi salutes. We've just spent 15 months watching the US empire carry out a live-streamed genocide, and Elon Musk is one of the managers of that empire. Doing Nazi salutes just puts a wrapper on the product.

Donald Trump Is The Empire Unmasked During his inaugural address, the new president of the United States was refreshingly open about the fact that Washington is the hub of a continuously expanding empire which is ruled by billionaire plutocrats. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/donald-tru...

I've permanently deleted my Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Threads accounts. Don't want to give the oligarchs any more support if I can possibly help it.

It’s cool that we just had a presidential election where healthcare basically never came up. They don't even pretend to care anymore

The way American liberals spent months trying to whip up support and enthusiasm for an administration that was committing an active genocide exposed the disdain western liberals have for non-western lives in ways that will be remembered for generations.

Trump's nominee for Ukraine-Russia envoy gives us the clearest picture yet of how he plans to handle the war: - territorial concessions - US security guarantee to Ukraine (including ongoing arms assistance) - Tabling Ukraine membership in NATO

I would like to speak up today for the trans community. You see, I know a bit of what it’s like to be politically scapegoated. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, suddenly anyone in America who had any amount of Japanese ancestry became suspect. Politicians preyed upon ignorance and fear. /1
