i wrote an essay about eid al-adha, the fragility of trust behind the halal label, and why muslims need to rethink meat. the hyper-capitalist meat industry is built on cruelty and injustice. we should reduce our meat intake, if not eliminate it entirely. shanishkrun.substack.com/p/m…

Crazy that you hear Cubans speak and they are all well spoken and completely informed on the situation, contrast that to the average American
Marco Rubio posted a video to Cubans claiming there’s no oil blockade. Needless to say, it didn’t land well with Cubans who are living through blackouts that became far worse after the U.S. began stopping oil from getting to the island.

Shoku ynë Baki ndodhej në anijen “Kyriakos”, pjesë e flotiljes humanitare në mision solidariteti për Gazën, kur anija u ndalua dhe aktivistët u arrestuan nga forcat të pushtimit israelite. Ne shqiptarët e dimë çfarë do të thotë pushtimi, spastrimi etnik, genocidi.

What’s it called when two countries merge but only one of the two has its culture and institutions smashed, its people thrown into poverty, and a decades long crusade is waged to convince everyone it was evil in all regards because “unification” doesn’t seem quite accurate
Removal of the Lenin monument from Berlin following German reunification, 1991.

Michael Jackson's story is still one of the most tragic of anyone's in the music industry. It pisses me off the more I learn about what happened to him >had no childhood, his abusive and controlling dad forced him to be perfect at music or he'd beat and abuse him, which is why he eventually grew up into being "weird" while also caring for children as much as possible >not long after thriller his scalp got burned badly in a commercial filming accident which sent him on a downward spiral of addiction to meds and painkillers >for his entire life but especially around bad onwards the media ran every retarded story about him imaginable based off his eccentric qualities to make him look even more weird and profit off him, which started to put him under tons of pressure and stress >he met Evan Chandler who ruined his reputation forever with the fake allegations because chandler was just pissed Michael stopped giving him free money >invincible got screwed by lack of promotion and having some of its best songs left off and Michael couldn't do nearly as much as he wanted to with it so the album ended up a disappointment in comparison to everything prior >among other allegations were those from some crazy bitch with a history of fraud who also just wanted free money from michael, these ones broke him mentally, physically, and financially >By the end of his life, he was being kept alive with heavy medication, barely sleeping properly for weeks, and under insane stress over (This Is It), which was expanded into fifty shows against his wishes and only happened because he desperately needed money >meds he used eventually killed him because of his incompetent doctor who gave him shit he shouldn't have and didnt do anything to save his life when he had every opportunity to do so >died still fighting lawsuits from people slandering him and seeking money from him >media still tries to slander his image so the Jackson Estate is forced to sell the other half of the music rights to corporations

The contempt Jacobin expresses for Hamas today tells you how Jacobin would have written about John Brown in the 1800s.
Radical abolitionist John Brown was born on this day in 1800. “I acknowledge no master in human form.”

So? If she refuses to condemn AIPAC and genocide, she should not run.
This sick and creepy obsession with AIPAC needs to stop. Dr. Ala Stanford is the first African American female pediatric surgeon trained entirely in the United States. She is also known for founding the Black Doctors COVID-19 Consortium. She is a strong, proud, and beautiful black woman. Let her speak and stop slandering her!! Celebrate her! She’s amazing and a role model for so many children in this country.

american culture and identity is war and violence. it’s not joy. it’s not community. it’s not music. it’s perceived power. team usa’s celly is a military salute. it’s so weird. nothing has been clearer this entire tournament when compared to other countries.

sepse nuk eshte fakt historik, w all due respect. historiografia nderkombtare tregon qe nuk ka pas dhune ne perhapjen e islamit gjate perandorise osmane ne ballkan. ideja qe jemi bo mysliman per arsyeje ekonomike eshte ose argument orientalist ose nacionalist serb.

orphan in albanian is literally jetim which is so arabic, you’ll find the word in the holy quran, mos na qaj koken me keto pralla iliro-pelazge-indoevropiane
A peculiar fun fact about Albanian: the Proto-Indoeuropean term *h₃órbʰos (meaning: "orphan" or "servant, slave", derived from a verb "*h₃erbʰ-" meaning "to change ownership") vanished in Albanian (if it had survived until now, it would've most likely been an "*(h)arb,-i") 1/2

serbo-yugoslav solidarity was performative. as belgrade marched for lumumba, the same state was brutalizing albanians in kosova via police repression, surveillance, and colonial terror under ranković.
Replying to @jasonhickel
Following Lumumba's assassination, mass demonstrations broke out in Belgrade and Warsaw. Protestors sacked the Belgian embassies and burned the furniture in the streets. A reminder of the power of internationalist solidarity with national liberation struggles in the South.
