The Strongman
Trump treats the presidency like a personal fiefdom: loyalty tests, pardoned cronies, and attacks on the press, the courts, and unions. Cruelty is the policy, and dissent is the crime.
Organize against itDec 3, 2026 — Fort Hood, Texas — livestream announced
On December 3 the US military plans to execute Nidal Malik Hasan by firing squad — the man convicted of the 2009 Fort Hood shooting that killed 13 — and the Pentagon has said the killing will be broadcast to the world. The first US military execution since 1961, streamed as spectacle. A state execution aired for an audience puts the USA on the level of Yemen, Somalia and North Korea — the regimes that publicize their killings. That is the company the USA now keeps.
Issue Nº 001 — a people's indictment
No kings. No empires.
This is a people's indictment of Trump's authoritarian politics and of the American war machine — six charges, the record behind them, and the demands we intend to win.
Six counts against Trumpism and the US empire. Read them, argue with them, then organize around them — the verdict is up to us.
Trump treats the presidency like a personal fiefdom: loyalty tests, pardoned cronies, and attacks on the press, the courts, and unions. Cruelty is the policy, and dissent is the crime.
Organize against itA Pentagon budget of nearly a trillion dollars a year while schools and clinics crumble. Bombing campaigns, coups, and sanctions are not accidents — they are the empire's business model.
See the numbersHundreds of US military bases in dozens of countries, propping up dictators and fighting proxy wars. An empire does not spread freedom — it invoices for it.
See the numbersDetention camps, mass deportations, and a militarized border. The same empire that bombs abroad enforces its will at home — on migrants first, on workers next.
Demand migrant justiceVoter suppression, gerrymandered maps, and billionaire cash flooding both parties. When the powerful get to pick their voters, calling it a democracy is a punchline.
Demand real democracyA handful of billionaires own the presses and manufacture consent for war and austerity. When the news is the palace stenographer, truth has to be passed hand to hand.
Join the fightRounded numbers, widely reported — the shape of the machine, in four figures.
The empire abandons its proxies the moment they cost more than they are worth. This year Washington is throttling the very pipeline that keeps Ukraine standing — while easing sanctions on Moscow.
Patriot interceptor missiles — already paid for by European allies — sat waiting on the Defense Secretary's signature while Russian strikes hit Ukraine's power grid, and Kyiv got no early warning of the attacks.
The NATO-funded program that buys US weapons for Kyiv was threatened with a halt unless Ukraine stops striking Russian refineries. Aid as leverage, starvation as policy.
While Zelensky was publicly attacked and told to find "somebody else" to negotiate, Washington waived sanctions on Russian diesel and moved peace talks over Ukraine's head.
End every war on the planet — close all foreign military bases, on every continent, and bring every soldier home.
Reinforce NATO and collective security — alliances that defend peoples, not empire projects: arm them, fund them, stand with them.
Make the world's sanctions bite — a real toll on Israel and its enablers: arms embargo, aid cutoff, diplomatic isolation, until the siege ends.
Free Palestine — the world cuts arms and aid to the occupation, lifts the siege of Gaza, and guarantees the refugees' right of return.
Fund Ukraine's defense properly — yes to more money from Washington and its allies: weapons, aid, and intelligence until the invasion is reversed.
Reparations from the rich world to the Global South — cancel the debt, pay climate reparations, end the extraction.
Abolish the death penalty everywhere on Earth — no state may kill, and none may livestream a killing on Dec 3.
