The United States is on a path to war with both China and Russia. The U.S. government is pushing up against the borders of both nations with increasingly aggressive military, political, propaganda, lawfare, and economic moves. Both nations are surrounded by the U.S. military and allied forces, and rather than seeking peace and stability, the U.S. government is escalating confrontations, building up military forces which precipitate regional arms races, and funding internal subversion while declaring that U.S. leaders should dictate their type of governance and internal affairs, and demanding that they bow to our government’s will, or else. Doing this with two large nuclear armed powers is risking an escalation that could well end in nuclear war and the termination of all human life on earth.

My brain is several days behind. The Super Bowl, with its flag-waving patriotism, military worship, and Native and colonizer mascots, shows how deeply anti-Indigenous racism and genocide is tied to US imperialism. The Indian War is global, and it goes largely unremarked.

They never closed the frontier, they expanded it across the pacific.

"China's rise" is not a product of nefarious scheming or ambitions for hegemony, but on simple principles such as investing in transportation infrastructure which makes a difference in the average person's life.

While the U.S. bombs, China builds.

The Biden Administration is parading warships through the South China Sea. In U.S. parlance, "freedom of navigation" means Pacific militarization designed to blockade Chinese trade through the South China Sea in the event of hot war.

The hysteria around Chinese "debt-trap" colonialism falls apart under any serious scrutiny. It functions to cast China as a yellow peril antagonist and other Global South nations as hapless victims desperate to be "saved" by Western powers.

The people of Haiti are in the street demanding an end to the US imposed hallowing out of the state. The OEA and the IMF have completely bankrupted the Haitian people and have impoverished their nation.

Respect Haitian sovereignty. Down with OEA Down with IMF.

It’s genuinely amazing to me that a Mediocre White Man can spend 20 years creating shows and movies that treat bigotry as a joke, but because the motherfucker donated some money to LGBTQIA groups and stumped for Bernie, he’s hailed as a progressive.

Seth MacFarlane created shows that dealt heavily in anti-black racism, antisemitism, ableism, Ace Ventura-levels of transphobia, rampant and vicious misogyny, normalized rape culture, abuse as a joke, pedophilia as a joke, and violent Islamophobia. He actually fought really hard for a scene where Quagmire rapes Marge Simpson to be aired on live TV – FOUGHT FOR IT, TOOTH AND NAIL – and is still angry that FOX wouldn’t let him get away with it.

He taught generations of young white guys that this shit was okay to say and believe because it was “just a joke” – hell, I’ll bet there’s a good Venn diagram between Family Guy fans and Trump supporters – and anyone who criticized him was just some boring, humorless PC police asshole.

And now people want to call his poorly-written, aggressively bigoted shit “satire” and give him brownie points for *appearing* progressive instead of actually being progressive.

Like, please demand more from your progressive allies than some fucking rich, white jackass who screams “Bigotry is cool! (Kidding)” in all his work, and does the bare fucking minimum every few years to be progressive.

Scholars argue that a business model has developed that exploits autism to sell coercive interventions.

Disability Studies scholars Alicia A. Broderick and Robin Roscigno argue that popular metaphors that portray autism as an enemy, alien, epidemic contagion, or otherwise dangerous serve to create a market for what they term the “Autism Industrial Complex.”

Broderick and Roscigno see these notions of autism suggest invasive behavioral techniques as the only plausible response. The researchers describe the business logic and surrounding discourses that legitimize coercive bodily control (and other forms of violence) over those diagnosed with autism.

Coercive forces, tortures such as prone restraint and forced injections, often deployed in mental hospitals and even special schools against autistic patients suffering violent outbursts or trauma/miscommunication-induced SIB (self injurious behavior) or related behaviors, create more SIB and suicidal desires, do not prevent any future SIB or suicidal desires, and cause irreversible and profound emotional and physiological harm to autistic and disabled patients who may be suffering violent behaviors.

Shame on everyone who uses violent patient behavior/SIB (parents/officials who defend restraints and injections to “control” violence issues who refuse to allow any replacements to them) to allow Circles of “Care” in Melbourne FL and other torture camps to keep existing.

The City Council will decide whether to buy two hotels and use funds diverted from its police budget to set up wraparound services for the homeless people who will live there.

“‘In the wake of Black Lives Matter protests this summer, we made a significant cut to policing dollars and reinvested that in things like this…That’s how we’re paying for this. That’s the only reason we’re able to do this.’”

The U.S. government literally let them in. The “progressive” parties did nothing against it.

It was a full-on celebration of U.S. colonial imperialism + U.S. client states.

there’s literally only three political causes JK rowling has picked up and furiously advocated for ever since becoming a billionaire celebrity: opposing the independence of Scotland, opposing any change in Britain’s economic system so that austerity won’t be killing disabled people en-masse and working class people won’t be dying in apartment complex fires, and virulently opposing trans rights while implying heavily that autistic people are literally too mentally inferior to have any agency and thus should be barred from seeking out gender transition. British nationalist, dedicated transphobe and social darwinist, this is who JK Rowling is when we let her actions speak for themselves.

Pirate her books and dub them into Scottish Gaelic, Native American languages, Australian Aboriginal languages, etc.

The USA’s obsuring, starvation, negligence of, and media coverup/under-coverage (of Native tribes, languages, cultures) is an assault on civilization.

Its telling how the only states in Asia labeled "full democracies" are Japan & South Korea, which happen to be U.S.' primary client states enforcing U.S. interests in Asia.

Meanwhile the primary states opposing US hegemony in Asia aka the DPRK & China are termed "authoritarian."
