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.

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...

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.
