2026 is starting off with even more US fascism
2026-01-09
Well, we're one week into 2026 and the regime continues it the war against its own people and its war against the rest of the world. On January 3 the US abducted the elected president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro with a military strike that included bombings of infrastructure and killed at least 57.
In the days following the regime reasserted its intent to take Greenland, by force if necessary.
On Wednesday 1-7-2026 an ICE agent murdered Renee Nicole Good Minneapolis, Minnesota.
That's just the first 7 days of the year. So many thoughts and emotions. There's much I could say here about the events of these first days. I'll simply say that 2026 marks 250 years since the Declaration of Independence in 1776. There is a brutal truth to Trump's America as a reflection of these first 250 years of this nation. I began the year finally committing to a full reading of Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States. I'm about 40% through it and what I see of the US in 2026 perfectly reflects the truth of the narrative presented in the book. The nation remains true to the contempt of democracy, freedom and equality on full display during those first 250 years.
The US has always been a nation of genocide, subjugation, violence and theft. It is a nation of grift that pretends fairness and democracy. It's all there in the history. The daily grift and violence of this regime is a continuation of the ruling class that has dominated here for the entirety. It is the brutal truth.
I don't have comments but I love email or you can find me on Mastodon.
