The ongoing clash between Jerome Powell and Donald Trump is partly about the future of this system and which vision of American empire it will promote.

I'm one of the lefties who said that you should vote for the easier enemy (Harris) because Trump would be way worse on Palestine.
I guess that earns me the right to say: anyone now blaming powerless and horrified voters who couldn't support genocide are disgusting

Gaza doesn't belong to Israel, it doesn't belong to the US & it doesn't belong to the intl community. Gaza belongs to PALESTINIANS. If the US follows through with its imperialist conquest the world should unite and isolate us. We've set dangerous precedents that can't hold for the future of humanity

Last week, over My Second Cup of Coffee I discussed Trumps Military parade and the "No Kings" protests. I offered my two-cents, that perhaps it might be more appropriate to protest "No Empire". I invite you to listen. #NoKings #NoEmpire

So it's "a situation" now?
This is what happens when you have a CIC who thinks, “Yeah, there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.”
This is a war based on "vibes">

This is how empires die. Genocide, slavery for centuries across conquered territories, returns home to roost, chaos reigns, power struggles ensue to restore imaginary time of order, & all implodes. This country a lie of a dream built upon the bones of millions. Can we please f-ing EVOLVE?! #noempire

Say no to the MZO!
No development near stelco, 1000s of jobs depend on this steel mill and a housing development will put it all at jeopardy.
Who in their right mind thinks that building new homes next to a steel mill is good business?!

I fought a war so that consent—not conquest would govern the affairs of men. To covet another land without the will of its people is to abandon the principles that birthed this republic.
