Hey look who's trying to start World War 3?
It's the United States ruling class.
The US officials said the ATACMS will likely initially be used to hit Russian troops fighting against Ukrainian forces in Russia’s Kursk Oblast. Ukraine and the US have also said North Korean troops are deployed in Kursk. The US has said the North Korean troops are engaged in combat, but that hasn’t been confirmed by Moscow.
Earlier this year, President Biden gave Ukraine the greenlight to strike Russian border regions with US-provided weapons, including shorter-range rockets fired by the HIMARS. A few months later, Ukraine launched its invasion of Kursk, and Ukrainian officials began pushing hard for the US to support longer-range strikes inside Russia.
In response to those calls and comments from Western officials supporting the idea, Russian President Vladimir Putin said if NATO supported long-range strikes in Russia, it would put the Western military alliance “at war with Russia.”

Ugh - ANOTHER Saturday to work.
Saturdays were always my favorites. In reality, my goal in life has always been to make every day a Saturday. I could wake up whenever, eat as I pleased, did some exercise, wrote some music, played some music, fucked a few women, did more writing, eating, exercising, etc.
... oh yes, and I had a perfect body, face, hair, and was the object of desire of every female in the vicinity (Hey it's my fantasy).
Yet for the last five years, I've been some working Saturdays every year for, well, work.
This is one of them.
Yay.
Well I remind myself, that this is the price I pay for what I've chosen to do in my professional career.
Hope for Sri Lanka?
After decades of war, strife and death?
The NPP’s emergence as a viable political alternative to the traditional ruling parties in Sri Lanka has a lot to do with its significant role in the popular mobilizations during the Aragalaya, or popular protests in 2022. The protests, which forced the then president Gotabaya Rajapaksa and his brother and Prime Minister Mahida to resign, emerged after their government’s mismanagement of the economy and its failure to deal with the hardships faced by the people.

I would argue that the focus should not be just about leaving political parties in US Crapitalism.
Rather all of the points raised here apply to leaving US Crapitalism altogether.
Finally someone has some cajones to call out the US 'climate movement' for what it is - frauds.
Not recognizing that the struggle to end genocide, is the same struggle to enable democracy, and the same struggle to stop climate change/ecocide.

What is the United States?
It's a capitalist republic.
It's a dictatorship of private property and its pursuit of endless profit and power.
Psychopaths in the US Ruling Class mirrors the more general psychopaths in Israel.
Violence and terror is what drives their desires for power, wealth and 'superiority'.
Settlers have for decades carried out violence and sabotage against Palestinians with the goal of uprooting them from their homeland. Settler violence against Palestinians can range from physical and verbal assaults, looting of corpses, obstructing Palestinians from reaching their lands, cutting down their olive trees during the harvest season, and killing their livestock. Settlers have also written racist slogans on the walls of Islamic and Christian holy sites in their crusades against Palestinian communities. According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, over 1,400 incidents of settler attacks against Palestinians in the West Bank were recorded in the last year.
In 2014, a 16-year-old Palestinian Mohammad Khdeir was kidnapped by a group of Israeli settlers in East Jerusalem, and then taken to a forest where he was beaten and burned alive.
One year later, three members of the Palestinian Dawabsheh family were burned to death after Israeli settlers set the family’s house on fire in the village of Duma, in the Nablus governorate. An 18-month-old baby was burned alive along with his parents. His brother Ahmad survived but sustained severe burns in 60% of his body including his face.
The recurring incidents of settler violence against Palestinians in the West Bank directly contradicts Israeli narratives that the situation was fine before October 7 and that Palestinian resistance groups based in the besieged Gaza Strip are the main obstacle to achieving peace. For decades, Israeli propaganda has worked relentlessly to cover up the terrorism, violence, and brutality perpetrated by the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) and illegal settlers against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, in addition to the IOF’s frequent aggressions and continuous siege of the Gaza strip.
So the 'election' is done - the ruling class 'wins' again.
I put those in quotes, because elections don't mean democracy.
This has been true for a long time.

When I think about all the 'liberals' who are wailing over the 'victory' of Trump, I remind myself not to smirk, laugh, or somehow think I'm a better person.
Over 200000 Palestinians (estimated) to have been killed by the Zionist project - fully funded by the United States and it's ruling class.
Why did it happen and what should be do about it?

Until the Blue No Matter Who'ers and the MAGA Reds really and truly see the impact of the actions of the US Empire ruling class, nothing will ever change.
Headlines like these - even now - result in denial and refusal to even read.

Israel Killed Over 50 Children in Jabalia in 48 Hours: UN
By Dave DeCamp / Antiwar.com
Israeli strikes in Jabalia, northern Gaza, killed over 50 children in just 48 hours, the UN’s child relief agency, UNICEF, said in a statement on Saturday.
“This has already been a deadly weekend of attacks in North Gaza. In the past 48 hours alone, over 50 children have reportedly been killed in Jabalia, where strikes leveled two residential buildings sheltering hundreds of people,” said UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell.
Israeli Scholar Lays Out ‘True Brutality’ of Ethnic Cleansing Now Underway in Gaza
By Jake Johnson / Common Dreams
Much alarm has been raised over the so-called “Generals’ Plan,” an ethnic cleansing proposal for northern Gaza that has reportedly garnered attention in the highest reaches of the Israeli government.
But Israeli scholar Idan Landau argued in a column published in English by +972 Magazine on Friday that what the Israeli military is actually doing in northern Gaza “is even more appalling” than the plan outlined by a group of retired generals. Landau argued that focus on the details of the Generals’ Plan has served to obscure the “true brutality” of Israel’s deadly operations in northern Gaza, which has been rendered a hellscape of death and destruction by the military assault and siege.
Terms like 'genocide', 'ethnic cleansing', 'war crimes', 'crimes against humanity', and so on, mean nothing to psychopaths.
Until they mean something to the American Public, then's it up to the rest of the world to take action.
