The Chaos Is The Point
As I’m sure you’ve guessed now: the complete whiteout created by news and alerts and senselessness is the point, the core of consolidating power elsewhere. You are meant to feel defeated and powerless, that despite the counter-lawsuits and filings being thrown up ad hoc and en masse there is no hope of ultimately stopping the rapid on-ramping of oligarchy and isolation embodied by the political elite.

The Worst MLK Day
The most basic of needs and services, things which were once offered by reputable and regulated vendors, are now attained through third parties in privatized markets. We are surrounded by frauds, charlatans who use the language of the learned to dupe the ignorant; crypto-scams flourish, the most desperate turning to gambling as a final thrust at the mythical American Dream, their entire lived experience assuring them they are capable of attaining and - more fundamentally - owed the comfort of the suburban “norm.”
Occupied Palestine = Slaveholder America
The dream of the Zionist is an ahistorical Palestine that they can romanticize into a brave, but anachronistic people who were minor elements in the Manifest Destiny of an Israel that occupies all the land “between the Sea and the Jordan.” Now the occupying power has been forced into a choice, reaping the gruesome rewards of their hybrid reservation-plantation system of exploitation; seeing that the only way to ensure their dominance in the region, to halt resistance to their injustice, is to eradicate the indigenous population entirely through either bombs, poison, or exile into the Sinai Peninsula.
The Next New Wave
Columbia, in embracing the same tactics today as the likes of Berkeley then, has followed the playbook the latter employed to deal with discontent from student organizers; first employing rules of respectability against protestors before resorting to armed police and expulsion to quiet the loudest elements of their student body.
Iran Is The Only Adult In The Room
While Israel and its Western allies resort to reckless escalation and violations of international law, Iran has emerged as the region's most measured actor. Tehran's restrained response to Israel's assassination of Iranian officials—targeting only military installations while avoiding civilian casualties—stands in stark contrast to the West's decades-long pattern of unchecked aggression. As the Biden administration continues arming proxy conflicts while preaching peace, Iran alone demonstrates the diplomatic maturity the situation demands.

NM Democrats: Hypocrites in the Extreme
…based on their collaborative statement championing semiconductor funding for Intel in the state, it can be assumed that they are also willing to burn the candle at both ends by further dragging the State of New Mexico into the weapons manufacturing industry; not only denying life through limitations of food, water, and medicine into the occupied territories, but to deliver death explicitly through precision strikes on marketplaces, schools, hospitals, and refugee camps with NM-manufactured arms.
Terrorism in Russia is Nothing Special, or Surprising
The fact is that terror like that seen today in Russia is no different than that seen anywhere else the roots of imperialism have begun to suck the ground dry; places like Prague, Serbia, and Germany saw in 2023 alone just the same impacts as Moscow today. At home, do I need to provide examples of the nationalistic hate that is flooding our society with violence? I’m sure we can all name at least 3.
Are You Willing to Die on the Hill Biden and the Democrats Built?
As the Dixiecratic DNC drives toward the reactionary end, we are faced with a choice that can’t, in good conscience, be made.
