Jeremy Brecher’s newest report, co-published by the Labor Network for Sustainability and Z, addresses the increased #authoritarianism under Trump and the #MAGA movement, with executive overreach, suppression of #dissent, and the use of state and vigilante violence.
Brecher asserts that the country must look beyond conventional means and consider social #strikes — large-scale, nonviolent withdrawal of cooperation, which has brought down authoritarian regimes before.
Right Wing Populists like Donald Trump and Javier Milei represent a brand of #capitalism that frequently skirts the line between criminality and legality. The Involvement of both men in #cryptocurrency embodies this.

The “ceasefire” in #Gaza wasn’t really a ceasefire at all. #Israel shifted from heavy bombing to systematically destroying buildings and infrastructure while keeping tight control over much of the territory.
This is just the latest step in a long history of shrinking, dividing, and controlling Gaza—and that the new “Yellow Line” Israel created is unstable and won’t hold.

After #DickCheney died, the public painted him as a patriotic statesman, but that feel-good version skips the massive damage he helped cause. He pushed the Iraq War on manipulated intelligence, defended torture, backed warrantless surveillance, and oversaw policies that killed many and destabilized a region.
Funerals shouldn’t turn into historical whitewashing — we can remember him, but we shouldn’t pretend his legacy wasn’t defined by bad decisions.

#Europe got dragged into a disastrous U.S.-driven proxy war in #Ukraine, surrendered its own foreign-policy independence, and is now paying the price. #EU leaders embraced militarization, shut down debate, and weakened democracy.
With the U.S. pulling back, the EU is stuck, Ukraine is likely to lose territory, and the West’s failure signals the end of its global dominance. Europe should drop the war path, push for elections in Ukraine, and negotiate real peace.
The world’s in rough shape—wars, climate disaster, displacement—and the #UN can’t cope because big powers keep blocking action. So a big coalition just launched “Article 109” to push for a UN Charter review that could overhaul and strengthen the UN. It’s a long shot, but supporters think real reform is possible if global pressure builds.

This is the face of a nazi. His name is Kevin Lunday. He is the fascist boot licker forcibly tasked to take over the U.S. Coast Guard after Donald fired Admiral Linda Fagan on his first day in office.
He has just removed classification of the swastika as a hate symbol. Yeah. It’s now classified as “potentially divisive.”
DIVISIVE! 🤬
If it acts like a nazi, it’s a nazi.
