All of Trump’s “America First” tariffs will be paid by US Americans first. Period.

Landlords don’t "provide housing"—they take it, gatekeep it, and charge you for the right to exist in it. They profit off what workers built while doing nothing themselves. Housing isn’t a commodity; it’s a necessity.
Abolish landlordism.

By now, any nation that still values its sovereignty should recognise that agreements with the American empire are honoured only as long as they serve U.S. interests. Syria has met the same fate as countless other countries in West Asia—deceived into trusting the United States or its proxies, such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

The lesson is clear: the promises of imperial powers are but shifting sands, designed to further their dominance while leaving ruin in their wake. Sovereign nations must stand united, for the cost of trust in such empires is paid in blood and betrayal.

Managers may not own the businesses they run, but they are not on the side of the workers. Their role is to enforce the interests of the capitalist class—extracting as much labour as possible while keeping wages down and suppressing resistance. They do not create value themselves; rather, they oversee its extraction, making sure profits flow upwards. They may share some frustrations with workers, but their loyalty lies with the system that exploits us. Their bonuses, promotions, and job security depend on how well they serve capital, not on fairness or solidarity. No matter how friendly they seem, their job is to keep us in line.

An interesting podcast that breaks down tactics of clubs and players abilities.
In this one he talks about Manchester United's new singing.

Capitalism, immoral and without scruples, can only function behind a moral superstructure, and whoever revivies this public morality (through indignation, denunciation etc) works spontaneously or the order of capital. This is what the journalists of the Washington Post did.

Jean Baudrillard on the Watergate "scandal"

Trump makes good promises of emptying the class rooms to get rid of "illegals".

This is the easiest target so they have a "win" on the books.

Rampant nationalism often comes with xenophobia. The reactionaries will be happy that these pesky kids are no longer stealing an education.

College students who over stayed their visas are arrested by ICE in Hidalgo, TX.

The irony of Donald Trump telling his audience we need to learn from history ... Clearly he and his cronies are high on the idea of a billionaire marina and golf course replacing the Gaza strip. And equally clearly Trump has no clue what's really been going on in Palestine for the last hundred years.

He may or may not have the capacity to learn, but his backers are going to learn the hard way that it is not the Palestinians who are leaving but the Israelis, not zionism that is destined to triumph in the middle east but national liberation and resistance.
