Social media is a wasteland.

U.S. Warmongering Hits Historic Level as Trump Attacks 3 Continents in 3 Days Since World War II, the U.S. has rarely, if ever, attacked so many places. “All war. All the time. Everywhere,” one source put it.

The attacks in Ecuador, Iran, Somalia, and the Eastern Pacific from March 6 through March 8 are part of President Donald Trump’s escalating world war against variously defined “terrorists.”

First Bandcamp Friday Of 2026 Raises $3.6 Million For Independent Artists

I will say this about @bandcamp.com… props to them for introducing “a platform-wide policy that bans music or audio created entirely or substantially by AI.” Though, given their band identity and market niche, their decision was pretty much a no-brainer. www.mixtapemadness.com/blog/news/fi...

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

“Being alive in a knife-edge moment like this, being forced to be complicit in it, while our so-called leaders fail so miserably to act, unavoidably generates all kinds of morbid symptoms. Inevitably, people reach for narratives to make sense of this reality.” - Naomi Klein, Doppleganger

The Lives and Loves of James Baldwin An older generation dismissed him as passé; a newer one has recast him as a secular saint. But Baldwin’s true message remains more unsettling than either camp recognizes.

James Baldwin’s message was simple: we’re afraid of love, because we’re afraid of exposing our true selves.

All In: A Revolutionary Theory to Stop Climate Collapse We have an urgent problem to solve.​ Our societies and progressive political organizations are caught between the devil and the deep blue sea. They have been there for some time [...]

“The capitalist system is the root cause of the climate crisis and has absolutely no perspective of solving it. The logical consequence is that the task of any movement informed by climate justice is to dismantle capitalism…” all-in.now

Book Review: Rupture or Barbarism - System Change Not Climate Change Two ecosocialists from the Portuguese group, Climáximo, call for a global movement for 'rupture' to prevent the descent into climate chaos and build an ecosocialist world.

“The question that always confronts climate activists is whether we work to change the minds of those in power… or whether we change the nature of power itself.” systemchangenotclimatechange.org/article/book...

Trump began his presidency with an onslaught of executive actions meant to dismantle all governmental institutions and agencies that offer any lifeline for Black, Brown, Indigenous, and poor white communities. His actions highlight the Democratic Party's refusal to operate as a true opposition.
