Welcome to the world capitalism built.

In 1965, Sukarno and Indonesia's Army would carry out a genocide, murdering over a million communists from the PKI, the world's third major communist party.

This atrocity was supported by the United Kingdom and the United States, its goal was to prevent a worker-controlled Indonesia.

Everybody needs to read The Jakarta Method, it's one of the most heart breaking and radicalizing books.

Walking to a grocery store alone in an American suburb feels like being a protagonist in a horror movie because the empty, car-centric environment feels like a liminal space, similar to an empty hallway at night.

These spaces are unwelcoming to pedestrians and create a sense of isolation and vulnerability.

This is a great illustration of the importance of walkable communities to promote health, community, and personal freedom.

@sun @mrsaturday not worth much given that Harris is meeting that war criminal personally

Netanyahu addressing Congress serves as an unmistakable demonstration of what the #US regime truly represents.

His cheerleaders in the US government are fervent supporters of genocide and destruction.

Many of us have known this for a long time, but it's good to see the mask finally come off.
