There are several examples of modern US imperialism, including:

1. Military interventions: The US has engaged in numerous military interventions around the world, such as the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the 2011 military intervention in Libya, and the ongoing military presence in Afghanistan.

2. Economic coercion: The US has used economic sanctions and trade restrictions to influence other countries' policies and behaviors. For instance, the US has imposed sanctions on countries like Iran, North Korea, and Venezuela.

3. Regime change: The US has supported the overthrow of governments in other countries through covert operations, funding of opposition groups, and other means. Examples include the US support for the overthrow of the governments in Iran in 1953, Guatemala in 1954, and Chile in 1973.

As for the question of colonies, the US does not have any colonies in the traditional sense, but it has territories that are considered unincorporated territories, such as Puerto Rico, Guam, and the US Virgin Islands. These territories are not states, and their residents are US citizens but do not have the same rights as those living in the mainland US.
