‘Trump’s MAGA and Deregulation’: Trump sees the United States as just a big capitalist corporation of which he is chief executive. But the institutions of the State are a hindrance. So Congress, courts, State governments, etc are to be ignored and/or told to carry out the instructions of the CEO. Also: ‘Imperialism’s Revival Strategy’.
‘People Mobilize Against DOGE Cuts to Education, Social Security, Medicare and More’; ‘Sanders, AOC Draw Biggest Crowd of Their Careers at Rally to Fight ‘Oligarchy’ in Denver’; ‘Veterans “Act Now Keep Democracy Alive and Well”’.
On the Russian rejection of Trump’s ceasefire proposal. But Russian officials appear to be sending other messages that the Western press is ignoring.
In his address to Congress, President Trump ignored the concerns of working people, boasted about his billionaire-run government, and doubled down on the tariffs that economists say may trigger another Great Depression. In a response, Bernie Sanders says while the fight for a progressive future may feel hopeless, “despair is not an option”.
In a veritable blitzkrieg, the Trumpist fascists have changed U.S. and global society irrevocably in a matter of weeks. We need a leftwing network of resistance to Trumpist fascism that, while firmly anti-capitalist, avoids the pitfalls of both campism and class reductionism.
In the silence, the cries of the past echo loudly, urging us to never forget and ensure that the horrors of genocide are consigned to history, never to be repeated.
The Government of India by not caring about its very own chained people being dropped down by a foreign military plane can pretend it is an ostrich, but the picture of an India shrivelled and grovelling and further trying to ‘normalise Indian hate’ tells its own story.
The most recent Forbes listing of the richest Americans points to a concentration of wealth never seen in US history. But it’s not just oligarchy that we should be concerned about; it is also that we are looking at a rapid movement, under President Trump, towards authoritarianism.
When individuals are forced into relentless competition for survival, they lose any sense of shared responsibility, making them more susceptible to the cruelty that defines contemporary politics.
Thousands of workers across the country hit the streets this week to declare their opposition to Trump and Musk who, under the guise of “efficiency,” are slashing and burning public services.
