It smells like burning plastic everywhere. My eyes sting. Its hard to breathe— I say this from relative privilege hundreds of kilometers away from the fire itself. Imagine those right in the middle of it. People are joking that it smells just like back home in Pakistan right now; what does that tell you?
This is the world we are creating for our children— leaving behind a decaying, burning, dying planet— decimated and drained of every last remnant, every last vestige of natural beauty and mineral sustenance the earth provides for us.
This is what the capitalist class has given us; what the western ruling elite have deliberately built circa 1492— a monstrous behemoth relentless in its pursuit of profit at all costs;
All this capitalist, imperialist, colonial violence; the invisibilized systemic violence; the forever wars and the genocides we analyze and bear witness to daily; implemented and administered to seize, dominate and transform nature into wealth— until nothing of substance remains; until there won't be a single grain of soil remaining which they haven't extracted from;
Until the very last thing keeping us alive— the air that we breathe— can be bottled and sold back to us.
That is their aim. That is what we must prepare for.
If the Democratic Party loses tomorrows elections to the worst, cruelest, most corrupt, bigoted, misogynistic, anti-worker, anti-environment, vote suppressing, climate denying, book banning GOP in history, will there be an accounting? Will there be a cleaning of the house, discharging the colossal architects who have contracted out their trusteeship to profit driven commercial consultants?
Daily wasting billions of campaign dollars on repetitive, vacuous and forgettable advertising so they can receive their 15% commission. Infected through and through with corporatism, the Democratic Party turns its back on unions and progressive civic groups with millions of members and campaigns and curries the favor of the war criminal, war mongering Cheneys and Clintons.
Kamala Harris campaigns with them but declines to campaign with the most popular elected official in our country, Senator Bernie Sanders. She’s not sending messages that could have landslided the worst Republican Party in history. -R

🚨📽️ Police major on video begging arresting officers to help invent heavy charges on street medics, claiming that doing so will "help a lot" to repress the stop Cop City movement. She even concedes that the charges are false and that she knows "it's a reach."
Today all charges are dismissed for eight activists facing felony charges related to a Cop City protest in 2022. The state knows there was never a legitimate case to begin with. These charges were simply used to terrorize the public out of opposing the police's political agenda.
The rogue Israeli apartheid regime is now burning UN peacekeepers with white phosphorus and our government is doing nothing to stop them. This is a war crime.
