Americans solved their helicopter crash investigation in less than 24 hours…
But after three months, they still “don’t know” how their Tomahawks slaughtered children in Minab school.
The lies are getting embarrassing.

“Even if you besiege us, we do not feel it…for we have with us the earth, the mountains, the valleys, the soil, the rivers, the seas, the oceans, the clouds, the winds, the sun, the moon, the stars…it is not us, but you who are besieged.”
— Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah
I cannot get this New York Times headline from yesterday out of my head. One important form of propaganda is subtly lying about who is the attacking aggressor and who is framed as merely “responding.”
From Washington D.C. to the Strait of Hormuz, there is roughly 10,000 km of distance. What the hell is your helicopter doing on this side of the world?
We prefer the language of diplomacy, but we speak other languages far more fluently. Break your commitments, and we'll switch to what we speak best.
You ride the horse you saddled!

When imperialism is taking new forms, when its aggression, unrestrained by any law or morality, is matched only by its weakening abilities, an International Anti-Imperialist Conference was held in Lahore. What does imperialism look like from Lahore?

🟢 Hamas:
We highly value the Iranian and Yemeni response to the zionist entity due to its crimes against Lebanon and its honorable people.
In light of the crimes of the zionist occupation and its continuous aggression against our people in Gaza, the West Bank, and Al-Quds, and against the brotherly Lebanese people, working to stop this zionist aggression and its continuous crimes has become an urgent priority. This requires the solidarity of various parties in the region and the world to put an end to it, as it has become clear that the zionist entity and its unbridled aggressive behavior are the source of all tensions in the region and their dangerous repercussions on the international arena.
The occupation has proven, through its continuous aggression against Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran, and through its treachery and repeated reneging on its commitments and violation of agreements it signs, that it is an entity that respects no covenant and adheres to no understanding. It continues its violations and breaches of all international agreements and obligations, confirming that its aggressive policies represent a permanent threat to the security and stability of the region.
The zionist aggression against Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran does not target these parties alone, but constitutes an assault on the entire nation and its capabilities. This compels all components of the nation to stand as one rank in the face of these continuous attacks, and to strengthen all forms of solidarity and support to contribute to deterring the occupation and curbing its escalating aggression.
A better way to characterize it is that Iran has decided to do what the so-called international community has neglected to do: restrain a rogue regime from its aggressive war, occupation, slaughter of civilians and forced displacement in an illegal unilateral “security zone” in another country’s territory.
Ansarullah in Yemen already established this principle. Now Iran is acting directly on it. The ceasefire was clearly and incontrovertibly meant to include the whole region and other fronts, including Lebanon. We might expect Iran slowly but surely to extend it further in the coming period to Gaza/West Bank if this move is successful in deterring attack on Lebanon. It also makes a mockery of the Lebanese government’s claims that its illegal direct negotiations with Israel can achieve anything other than betrayal of its people.
Moreover, the US unwillingness or inability politically to insure its ally abides by these conditions has been humiliatingly exposed. It is obvious the US does not want to return to active intense military confrontation with Iran —Trump is bleating desperately about returning to negotiations. That’s probably much more significant as this whole question geopolitically about where sovereign decision making was taking place has bedeviled analysis about the US-Israel empire and relationship. The interesting question is whether this will have consequences within the US politically.
Alertamos a la comunidad internacional sobre la aprobación de una nueva Ley de Estados de Excepción que debilita las garantías democráticas y la protección de los derechos humanos. La norma presume la legalidad de las actuaciones estatales, limita los controles judiciales y parlamentarios, y amplía la intervención militar en conflictos internos.
Solicitamos el seguimiento y la vigilancia permanente de los organismos internacionales para resguardar el Estado de Derecho y las libertades fundamentales del pueblo boliviano.

On this day, June 5, we remember the #Naksa (the Setback) of 1967, when the Zionist occupation took the remaining Palestinian territories that had not been occupied during the #Nakba of '48. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were displaced - many of whom were already refugees from the Nakba of '48.
Today, 59 years later, the Palestinian people find themselves in an already 2.5-year ongoing accelerated US-Zionist genocide. Gaza has been destroyed beyond recognition: no housing, no clean water, no medical care, and little food for most of the survivors.
For Palestinians in Gaza, displacement is not history - it is ongoing. Families are repeatedly forced from their homes while the occupation continues expanding its control over Palestinian land, denying people the right to return, rebuild, and live in dignity.
Entire neighborhoods and generations have been erased. Generations who already carried the trauma of exile are now facing renewed destruction, siege, and forced displacement once again. 🏠💔
https://t.co/yI11uK4aOL has committed to supporting Palestinians’ survival, resilience, and the right of families to remain connected to their land, their homes, and their future. 🫒✨
#NaksaDay is not only remembrance. It is a call to confront the ongoing reality of dispossession and to demand justice, rebuilding, and the restoration of the Palestinian right to return. 🕊️
Remember how everyone rushed to use his photo, of his walking toward an IDF tank to advocate for the lives of his patients? Rushed to plaster it everywhere, rushed to make AI edits, art, whatever. That was in December 2024.
How often is he mentioned today? He is alive, he is being tortured and slowly killed - he, alongside every Palestinian hostage, must be freed.
What Israel is doing in Lebanon is unambiguously genocidal against Shias. And it is unambiguously an attempt to reoccupy and even annex a huge part of the country. It’s infuriating that we’re pretending that there’s a ceasefire. And even more infuriating that Western media continues to turn a blind eye to Israel’s endless colonial expansion and insatiable hunger for Arab land.
Still, Minab – Episode 4: The Second Explosion
This episode stays with me to this day, in ways I am still learning how to hold. It reveals a different architecture of life/one that stands in stark contrast to the logic of capitalist imperialism, and offers another measure of what it means to be human.
Children were not the only victim of Minab's massacre. This episode is centered on Ahmad Salari, a 40-year old father who entered the school after the first strike, found his daughter, carried her out alive, and then returned to save other children. Witnesses unanimously testified that the school was struck three times within minutes. Ahmad was killed in the second explosion.
Agha Ghasem, Ahmad's father, as he was trying to hold back his tears, looked me in the eye and said, “May God accept our Ahmad.”
The principle of sacrifice is what distinguishes a revolutionary society from settler colonial societies rooted in genocide and shaped primarily by material comfort and self-preservation. A society unwilling to sacrifice cannot meaningfully challenge injustice, no matter how clearly it recognizes it.
The erosion of sacrifice has contributed to a political culture in which the West’s criminal leaders are not held accountable for the suffering inflicted in and beyond their borders. The peoples of the Global South have too often paid for that failure, in blood and in life.
Where societies are conditioned to prioritize material comfort over sacrifice, and consumption over solidarity, even live-stream genocide can become normalized. This is especially true where populations materially benefit from systems of domination, dispossession, and war carried out by their governments.
Here, then, we come to an even deeper realization of what is at stake in the resistance to the US-Zionist death machine. Against the false world centered on profit, fear, and cowardice, a true world centered on solidarity, love, and sacrifice struggles for victory.
Ahmad, picked up this struggle from those who came before him and carried it forward for those who will come after, sacrificing his life for a liberated future that was not for him to see.
This episode is dedicated to those who sacrifice for these larger truths. To Ahmad, to Agha Ghasem, to all Iranian men, fathers, and grandfathers, who, across time and space, have sacrificed for truth and liberation.

The human built world is not built for humans. This has been true for some time. AI is apocalyptic in the literal sense. It "reveals" this fundamental truth about the logic of the techno-economic order that structures the modern world.
