A tight-lipped misogynist? That's unusual.

But if his opponents don't have teams of lawyers on the ready to fire back, as well as interested parties that have legal standing, then they are letting it happen.

Blocked again on X, just for saying that the only regret that Ilhan Omar should entertain is not having pelted a hammer at Trump's head.

If a #CivilWar breaks out in the US, the US dollar will be virtually worthless in the US itself. Americans would be wise to start stockpiling Canadian dollars, before it's too late.

Please start talking about how that wealth can be recuperated--the legal, financial, and political means needed to do so.

When Trump falls, I suspect it's going to be a great day to be an accountant in America.

And the implications that are missed here:

Look at all the ways that Trump's path to power was smoothly paved for him. Have an internal reckoning not just among his supporters, but also his opponents. All that precedents were set in advance for Trump, it just remained for him to emulate.

Oh it "looks like America's backyard again" does it? So all Latin American countries have cancelled all trade with China? China is no longer the number one trading partner? All because Maduro was kidnapped. Has even Venezuela cancelled any ties to China?

Bullshit Trumpist propaganda.

China’s Trade Surplus Surged 20 Percent to New Highs A currency kept weak to help Chinese factories, combined with faltering consumer spending, propelled exports, while a campaign for self-sufficiency limited imports.

Breaking News: China announced the world’s largest trade surplus ever, almost $1.2 trillion in 2025, as its exports flooded global markets.

How My Reporting on the Columbia Protests Led to My Deportation As an Australian who wrote about the demonstrations while on campus, I gave my phone a superficial clean before flying to the U.S. I underestimated what I was up against.

The only value in this story is this:

DON'T BE A COMPLIANT LITTLE IDIOT LIKE THIS GUY.

It's amazing how yielding everyone is, as if made of gelatin.

Oh, sorry, were we talking about Iran?

The US empire has been in steady decline since the end of the Vietnam War. Typically for all modern empires of the last 500 years, the decline stage lasts about 50 years, until bottom is reached. Those 50 years are up for the US. Anything we see now is an example of death throes.

Speaking of decline, remember that Democracy Now! was all in support of US military intervention in Libya. No talk of decline then, but a lot of absurd cheerleading.

I wish we were seeing Americans reacting as if they believed your words.

One of the disastrous, enduring impacts of Covid is that it further taught people to be fearful of the authorities and to be numbed into paralysis. As a result, Americans are not really fighting back against #ICE or #Trump like one might expect from a serious opposition.

There are a few other excellent reasons for banning X in Canada. That is a very weak response.

Remember when all the US-based #Venezuela war lobbyists all proclaimed that "once Maduro is gone, the whole regime will crumble"? That didn't happen. Also, oil companies are not rushing in to "take" the oil. And now Americans are being warned to leave immediately. Not what "victory" looks like.

Correct, Homan: ICE consists of terrorists, racists, and Nazis, and they are disappearing people. Thank you for the summary.

Name one ICE agent killed by a vehicle that was used with the intent to murder.

You can't murder a citizen on the streets and have "absolute immunity". That is total BS. Why does he repeat it?

"Masks are government tyranny," said the anti-maskers during Covid. Now watch them defend ICE masking its agents, in order to exercise tyranny in the most brutal manner.

Is anybody keeping careful track of each one of the impeachable offenses? The list must be very long by now. Does anyone know of any source compiling all of them?

And what about Vance?

ANTHROPOLOGY against FASCISM and EMPIRE Anthropological confrontation with the premises of imperial nationalisms, fascism, militarization, totalitarianism, and dictatorship.

For those of you with accounts in Telegram (gutter that it is for neo-Nazis and assorted right wing lunatics...much like X), I have started a new channel:

ANTHROPOLOGY against FASCISM & EMPIRE

Trump wants to own Venezuela’s oil, but its largest oil customer is speeding toward clean energy | CNN Energy experts say the US and China are diverging on the energy transition, with China sprinting far ahead on renewables and EVs, while the US doubles down on drilling oil at home and abroad.

#Trump seeking to monopolize #oil is increasingly looking like senile imperialism--just a little short of: "I've cornered the market on horse-drawn carriages!". Between coal and oil, he's stuck in the past.

Meanwhile, for protesting against this on X, I have been locked out for a solid week starting from today.

Locked out of Twitter/X for a whole week now, starting today. It was based on the flimsiest of algorithmic logic, a product of calculated hysteria and intentional miscomprehension. That truly is the platform of fascist totalitarians, a mere version of Truth Social now.

Remember when you all dutifully quoted that "genius," David Harvey? The same one who argued that "the age of #imperialism is over" and event went into "reverse"? #Trump and #Venezuela proved him wrong.

The failure of @concordia.ca to recognize, support, or validate years of research and teaching on imperialism, and on building a specifically Canadian #anthropology, now comes at a high cost...to the institution, its faculty, and especially to students. Enforced blindness and active marginalization.

As for #anthropology in North America, talk about imperialism was mostly shunned, unless it was reduced entirely to US militarism and nothing more.

An entire superstructure was built to prevent people from thinking the thoughts and having the ideas that they desperately need today to confront #MAGA

Canadians really are slow to wake up, it has to be said.

Now I imagine everyone @Concordia is claiming their courses are "all about empire and imperialism," using the most tenuous and highly theoretical of arguments to draw links that their students will never follow.

For 20 years I taught courses explicitly about imperialism
@Concordia, advocating for a Canadian #anthropology. The reward? Total marginalization, relegated to the status of fringe academic.

Now everyone in Canada is talking about imperialism, and defending Canadian sovereignty.
