Trump's attack on #Venezuela + kidnapping of the Maduros is super-illegal & bellicose. But, for anyone who wants to play the "Trump is the worst US president ever" game, he's just crassly saying out-loud what is core to US #ForeignPolicy. For example, during the first two year's of Biden's presidency, the US used drones in Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Syria, and engaged in combat in Kenya, Mali, Turkey, UAE, & Yemen. None of those with a Congressional declaration of #war. https://costsofwar.watson.brown.edu/paper/united-states-counterterrorism-operations-under-biden-administration-2021-2023 (2026-01-04 ↗)
Anyone living in the #SanFrancisco #BayArea should find "Ten Years That Shook the City: San Francisco 1968-1978" an interesting #read. It covers #SocialMovements that flowered thanks to the #Sixties: chapters on #Black, #CentralAmerican, & #Asian power movements, antiwar, #LGBT, #environmentalism, countercultural, food+farming, #feminism, underground #comix, murals, #labor, etc. Jam-packed with details about crucial, but largely forgotten moments. https://www.foundsf.org/Category:Ten_Years_That_Shook_the_City #CityLights #books (2025-12-05 ↗)
Whenever an American wants to complain about or argue in bad-faith about immigration from #CentralAmerica, feel free to hit them upside the head with Aviva Chomsky's #book Central America's Forgotten #History: Revolution, #Violence, & the Roots of Migration. Or at least tell them that the source of this #immigration is THEIR country (i.e., US-supported dictatorship, US-led coups, US-funded death squads, the US #WarOnDrugs, and US-fueled and driven neo-liberalism). #BeaconPress (2025-11-10 ↗)
My new #book Who Do We #Trust? Power, #Solidarity, and Anti-Authoritarianism is now available from #PlutoPress!! Solidarity is an antidote to the brutality, indifference, & inequality brought by hierarchy. Stop trusting authority + start trusting each other. https://www.plutobooks.com/product/who-do-we-trust/ (2025-10-29 ↗)
The final volume on #anarchism and #punk will be out soon, perhaps by the end of 2025. I have a chapter in this impressive-looking collection about aging and older people in punk subculture and anarchist movements. https://anarchismandpunk.noblogs.org/post/2025/08/29/book-3-is-taking-shape-punk-anarchy-in-action/ #ActiveDistro #book (2025-10-13 ↗)
