Thank you Aimé Césaire for articulating this in 1950. I get to go insane seeing dumb fucking tweets about this every day 75 years later.

And your still be bitching about dead kids in the Middle East while your neighbors get rounded up because you don’t understand how American politics works.

You don’t like suicide bombers? Then give them F-35s and Hellfires so they can fight a more “civilized” war against you Nazis
There are streets in Ramallah named after suicide bombers and your objection is that Israel has checkpoints?

Dr Walter Rodney was assassinated on June 13, 1980, by a bomb planted in a walkie talkie. He was 38. His key work, How Europe Underdeveloped Africa, exposed the roots of global inequality and the violence of colonial underdevelopment.

They want us to believe the terrorists are the ones destroying the weapons rather than using the weapons.
Another insane body-cam video from the Filton 6 trial showing the violent Elbit security guards at work. This one shows guard Angelo Volante brandishing a sledgehammer, repeatedly screaming at acquitted defendants Fatema Zainab Rajwani and Charlotte Head to "get the fuck down," even after they had already complied with police instructions. The pair are holding their hands up quietly and clearly pose no threat.

These people are turning "anti-zionist" into a meaningless phrase, which I guess is their job
the manufactured scandals around platner have nothing to do with his background & everything to do with trying to take out a left populist antizionist candidate before he can flip a red senate seat. they’ll complain abt the tattoo or whatever but if he loses centrist liberals will do exactly what aipac does & use the manufactured lies to claim going against israel or demanding medicare for all is something the voters rejected.

There’s a part in the book White Noise where the characters talk about losing their identity once they’ve aged out of being the primary demo for advertisements and marketing.I think about that every time I see nostalgia porn videos because they’re always just ads for old products
It's rare that AI video makes me feel any emotion. But these "nostalgiamaxxing videos" really do capture what it's like to grow up in the 90's Credit: homeforchristmasofficial

Solidarity with the Bolivian people in their struggle. The real makers of history are not presidents, generals, or billionaires, but the organized masses. When the people rise, even the strongest barricades cannot stand against their collective strength.

Read this. All the way through. Think of the babies in your life. You cannot hate Israel or their ghoulish society enough, but try.
There are moments in Gaza when suffering becomes so ordinary that people stop asking for solutions. They begin asking only for the smallest relief. A little less pain. A child who sleeps through the night. When I entered the clinic that morning, I noticed a young woman carrying a baby so small that I could not tell whether the child was a newborn or simply made tiny by hardship. When her turn came, she gently placed the baby on my desk and said: “I want any cream you have.” Any cream. Not a specific medicine. Not a particular treatment. Just anything. She uncovered the baby and showed me the severe rash covering much of the child’s fragile skin. “I treat the baby with whatever free creams I can find in clinics,” she explained. “Anything helps.” As she spoke, I noticed something else. The baby was not wearing a diaper. Only pieces of cloth. I asked why. “I can’t afford diapers,” she replied calmly. “I wash these and use them again.” Then she added that they were living in a tent and that her husband had suffered a serious foot injury and was unable to work. “I’m not asking for much,” she said. “I only want a cream.” But what caught my attention most was not the rash. It was the malnutrition. The baby was severely underweight. The kind of malnutrition that is visible before any examination even begins. So I asked the mother whether she had noticed. She nodded. “Yes, I know.” Then she said something I cannot forget: “When the baby gets older, things will get better.” Not because she truly believed it. But because hope was cheaper than treatment. And treatment was something she could no longer afford. That was the moment that broke me. Not the tent. Not the poverty. Not even the illness. But the fact that this mother had lowered her expectations so much that she no longer dreamed of proper medical care, diapers, or adequate nutrition. She came asking for the smallest thing she could imagine. A tube of cream. Any cream. Something that might make the baby hurt a little less. The baby could not have been more than five months old. Too young to understand war. Too young to understand poverty. Yet already carrying both on that tiny body. There is something profoundly cruel about a world in which a mother’s greatest hope for her child is no longer a better future. Only a little less suffering tonight. #WoundedGaza

On this day in 1954, the US backed a coup against Jacobo Árbenz, the progressive, democratically elected leader of Guatemala, because he sought to restore land to small farmers and Indigenous communities that had been dispossessed by US fruit companies.

"Farmer protests" aren't from the actual people that grow your food, but people that own the land where your food is grown. Their employees grow that food, and those are usually seasonal or migrant farmhands without proper compensation. "Farmers" are really just rural landlords.

"When you say 'Nazi tattoo' normal people think swastika." I love it when educated people pretend like they don't understand cryptofascist symbols and dogwhistles. All to defend some fucking oaf running for office. Embarrassing, pathetic, and evil. The third one is just a sun!
It really is as simple as this for the vast majority of voters. When you say “Nazi tattoo” normal people think swastika. Then people find out it’s this and the Republicans look silly.

I respected Ryan Grim way too much for starting DropSite with Jeremy Scahill. Seeing all these "left" commentators debasing themselves to defend this random asshole shouldn't surprise me, but it did. There is no left in the US. Only capitalist social democrats. For whites only.

🇰🇪🇺🇸 | Kenyan police shot dead a protester as hundreds demonstrated against a US quarantine facility in Nanyuki. The facility is for US nationals exposed to Ebola. Not for Kenyans. The protester was shot in the head and at least 19 people were arrested, according to Reuters, at the site where the US is building a 50-bed unit at Laikipia Air Base. Kenya has no Ebola case of its own; the unit would hold US nationals exposed to the virus in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda. It runs on roughly KSh 1.68 billion — about USD 13 million in US aid. This is not the first killing: on 1 June police shot two protesters dead and arrested 31. Demonstrators call their country a "dumping ground" and have vowed to march until the plan is scrapped. Washington says it "cannot and will not allow" any cases to enter US territory. Kenyan President William Ruto calls the deal "mutually beneficial" — while his own police keep killing the Kenyans who refuse it.

Terrible idea. This is the same take as Trump and Sam Altman because they want to socialize the (incoming) losses
I will soon be introducing a bill to give the public a 50% ownership stake in the largest AI companies in America. This would guarantee that the trillions created by AI are used to improve the lives of all of us — and block oligarch decisions that harm the American people.
