NEW: The Senate is set to take up its most significant Cuba vote in decades tomorrow.
Sen. Tim Kaine is forcing action on a resolution to block President Trump from launching new military action without Congress – and to declare the current U.S. oil blockade an act of war. https://t.co/pOyxtqz6h2
The latest Jacobin article attacking data center moratoria weaponizes social justice language to shift blame from the Big Tech billionaires onto working class Americans fighting to protect their communities against further exploitation.
Let's debunk some of these absurd claims🧵
“The French revolution abolished many privileges, and raised up many of the oppressed; but all it did was replace one class in power by another. Yet it did teach us one great lesson: social privileges and differences, being products of society and not of nature, can be overcome.”
-Antonio Gramsci, "Oppressed and Oppressors," 1911.
It has been 486 days since the state of Israel kidnapped Dr. Hussam for the crime of posting compelling stories on Instagram. Exactly 60 days after they murdered his son as a warning.
Dr. Hussam has been held in chains, without charge, in a military prison dungeon ever since.
His continued torture is a direct result of America’s unlimited financial and diplomatic support.
Eternal shame on every single American lawmaker/politician/bureaucrat who continues to defend this barbarism.
Our paper on the impact of US sanctions on Cuba’s infant mortality rate is out. Our results are deeply troubling. The tightening of the US embargo after 2019 led to the infant mortality rate rising from 4 to 9.9/1000 in 2025. We estimate that an additional 1800 Cuban babies died from these harsher US sanctions.

‼️Irregular Army (w/ @kennardmatt)‼️
"If you look at local news reports in the US you see murders, criminal activity, and you can often trace it bak to the US military -- in terms of veterans and people from Iraq & Afghanistan. Now, this has even more portent in terms of the Trump administration, because now you have Pete Hegseth as the Secretary of War, the highest official in the Pentagon...he basically is one of the soldiers we were trying to expose when then War on Terror was raging."
Iran doesn't need the EU and its collapsing economies. The time will come when Germany is forced to apologize and pay compensation for providing Saddam with chemical weapons.
Macron says China is “killing” European industry.
Funny.
For years, Europe followed Washington in suppressing Huawei, ZTE, Chinese solar, Chinese EVs, Chinese tech — then acted shocked when China stopped waiting for European approval and built its own industrial future.
When European cars flooded China and dominated the Chinese market, did Beijing cry that Europe was “killing” Chinese industry?
No.
China learned.
China upgraded.
China competed.
From low-end exports to drones.
From trading 800 million cheap T-shirts for a Boeing to high-speed rail, solar panels, batteries, robots, EVs, and CNC machine tools.
China spent decades climbing the industrial ladder while Europe was busy enjoying monopoly margins, moral lectures, and the illusion that history had ended in Brussels.
Now the competition has arrived, and suddenly Europe calls it a “threat.”
This is not China killing European industry.
This is Europe discovering that nostalgia is not an industrial policy.
That protectionism is not innovation.
That blaming China is easier than admitting you wasted thirty years.
China did not destroy Europe’s industry.
Europe outsourced, deindustrialized, sanctioned competitors, slept through the transition — and woke up angry that China kept building.
Prof. Michael Hudson on the vocabulary of deception:
"Liberalism" is central planning by Wall Street and the Pentagon. "Democracy" is oligarchy with a vote for the manager. China, by acting on behalf of its population, is more democratic than the West.
CBS News poll: More than 70% of Americans, which is the overwhelming majority, are having difficulty affording basic needs like food, housing & health care. This is what living in a decaying capitalist empire looks like. It doesn’t have to be this way. A better world is possible.
🚨🇲🇽 BREAKING — MAKING TRAINS, NOT WAR
Sheinbaum supervised the Mexican army's non-stop construction of the new AIFA-Pachuca line, now 30% complete.
It's amazing what an army can do when they're not dying for Israel.
Anyone who gets their news about the Iran War from sources outisde of the Fox/neocon sewer of Sean Hannity and Ben Shapiro already knows that Iran absolutely pummeled US bases in multiple countries. This new reporting shows billions of dollars worth of damage, and even cites a study from the neocon AEI for support.
If you talk to any trustworthy US officials, they'll give you the real story about the war: not just that Iran inflicted far more damage than known and that the US Govt hid it (including the number and severity of US casualties), but also that -- as happened in the last war with Iran in 2025 -- both the US and Israel (and now the Persian Gulf dictatorships) are very low on munitions and especially anti-missile defense systems:
A sure sign of the coming of fascism.
The Metropolitan Police arresting people for the precise behaviour that the High Court has ruled lawful.
It is even the same person and the same sign!
Natalie thinks the left wants too much, and that they think she has a courage problem. Personally I would diagnose it as her having an optimism problem that prevents her from strongly advocating for bigger change, because she doesn't believe it can ever happen.
