This four-part series will take up Lenin’s analysis as a foundation for understanding imperialism, not simply as a set of foreign policies, but as a system of domination and exploitation imposed on the nations of the world. Our goal is not just to understand the system but to equip ourselves with the theory and clarity needed to build an anti-imperialist movement capable of confronting and transforming it.

18:00 (6 pm) - Bring the News w/Susanna
Would like to discuss the U.S. 30 Year Treasury Bond Auction tomorrow and possible negative implications for a poor sale outcome. $22Billion up for auction. Personally, I think the accelerated ICE Raids/Trump Show has been a slight of hand to divert attention from this upcoming auction.

I would like to invite everyone to join me for the mystery crime/comedy series, Poker Face. A Columbo inspired drama.
A mystery-of-the-week series following Charlie Cale, who has an extraordinary ability to determine when someone is lying. She hits the road in her Plymouth Barracuda and with every stop encounters a new cast of characters and strange crimes she can’t help but solve. Guest stars are plentiful throughout, from Ellen Barkin and Adrien Brody to Luis Guzmán and Chloë Sevigny. An inverted detective series, also known as a “howcatchem” and popularized by “Columbo,” the crime and perpetrator are shown at the beginning of each episode, and follows Charlie as she tries to solve the mystery.
