The Terror of an Empire in Decline

A murder in Minneapolis. A kidnapping in Caracas. Genocide in Palestine. Termination of trans people’s healthcare and rights. Criminalization of pregnant people. Detention, disappearance, deportation, and death of immigrants. These are all part of the same project of domination, coercive control, and imperialist violence of the United States, turbocharged by the fascist Trump regime. We went from an attack on Venezuela to federal agents executing people who resist the government’s terrorism in less than a week. It’s important to understand how all these things are connected, and that it’s going to take all of us to stop them.
