When it comes to living in the West, we as people are certainly #1 at being the most propagandized.
And as Caitlin explains, the best and most effective propaganda works when the victims are completely unaware.
A reminder once again of who Martin Luther King jr really was.
A critic of the US Empire.
And a victim of it, because he believed we as a species could to better.
Knowledge and consciousness are terrains of struggle. To depoliticize empire is to normalize it. Dr. King concluded his Vietnam speech by identifying with the victims of empire: “I speak as a child of God and brother to the suffering poor of Vietnam… the barefoot peasants of our world” (King, 1967). This identification was not symbolic but political. It grounded King’s ethics in solidarity with the colonized, the exploited, and the excluded.
Contemporary radicals face a similar task. People(s)-Centered Human Rights offers a framework that reclaims human rights from state-centric, liberal, and imperial interpretations and recenters them on collective dignity, sovereignty, material survival, and self-determination. It allows movements to defend life without legitimizing empire, to oppose repression without endorsing intervention, and to build unity across the Global South and within oppressed communities in the North.
Such a framework restores the connection King insisted upon between morality and power, and between justice and structure. In a world where empire increasingly disguises itself as humanitarianism and war as protection, People(s)-Centered Human Rights provides a language for resistance that is ethical, political, and internationalist.

Quote of the day - 01-13-2026.
"This represents what we at the Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research have identified as “hyper-imperialism”, a dangerous and decadent stage of imperialism. Facing the erosion of its economic and political dominance and the rise of alternative centers of power (mainly in Asia) US imperialism increasingly relies on its uncontested military strength. "

The kidnapping of Venezuela’s sovereignty
The US has essentially declared that sovereignty itself for any nation that refuses subordination to US imperialism, holds no weight.
Let that sink in.

From Noriega to Maduro: The Long US History of Kidnapping Foreign Leaders
The real questions for us are -
- How long will it be, before they come for you?
- When will we as a species make it stop?
- Are we already too late?
What do I mean by that last one?
Deadly heatwaves will intensify for 1,000 years after net zero
Deadly hotter and longer heatwaves, which worsen in severity the longer it takes to reach net zero carbon emissions, will become the norm. New climate research, published last month in Environmental Research: Climate, challenges the general belief that after net zero conditionswill begin to improve for future generations.
The researchers used climate modelling and supercomputers to understand how heatwaves will respond over the next 1,000 years, after the world reaches net zero carbon emissions. They found:
“Heatwaves are systematically hotter, longer and more frequent the longer net zero is delayed and reach their highest values when net zero is delayed until 2060. Moreover, most regional trends show no decline over the entire 1000 years of each simulation, indicating that heatwaves do not start to revert to preindustrial conditions. Some regions even display significantly increasing millennial-scale trends when net zero occurs by 2050 or later. Furthermore, the longer net zero is delayed, the more occurrences of historically rare and extreme heatwave events.”

ICE=IOF
Different continent, same violence.
America, America, this is you.
Renee Good and Ahmad Rajabi died because paramilitary authoritarian forces decided they did not deserve to live, and because the entire legal and political structure exists specifically to ensure those agents never face meaningful consequences for murder.
The moral arc of the universe bends toward justice only when we bend it ourselves. Thus, we must resist. Resistance means refusing to accept any of this as normal or inevitable or just the way things work. It means protesting to demand prosecution of the agent who killed Renee Good under Minnesota state law. It means organizing to defund and ultimately abolish ICE entirely, because an agency with a $170 billion budget that terrorizes communities cannot be reformed into something humane.
And it means understanding that Palestinian liberation is, in fact, tied to all of us. And, as Palestinians have taught the world, we must take freedom into our own hands. From Minneapolis to Palestine, occupation must be dismantled completely and entirely, or it will keep killing and keep expanding until none of us are safe from it.
We support you Delcy, and understand your reluctance.
Frankly, I'd be reluctant too to take on the role, after one's President was quite literally kidnapped by a foreign country.

This time it'll be a little longer than normal. We'll see how well things go. After all, it does apparently keep me employed.
