Today is June 8th, the 59th anniversary of the day Israeli forces attacked the USS Liberty, a clearly marked U.S. Navy ship in international waters, killing 34 Americans and wounding 171 more, jamming their distress frequencies so no rescue could reach them in time.

Bombshell: Leaked audio recordings prove Argentina's libertarian President Javier Milei is conspiring with the drug lord Juan Orlando Hernández -- the drug-trafficking former dictator of Honduras, whom Trump freed from prison.

In a recording between Milei and the drug lord, Hernández proposed creating a right-wing fake news operation, with the support of the US government, in order to spread propaganda online to "eliminate the left" in Latin America, targeting Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, and the left-wing opposition in Honduras.

The self-declared "anarcho-capitalist" Milei offered to contribute $350,000 USD of Argentine government money to help fund this disinformation operation, while millions of Argentines are suffering in poverty, and they have to eat donkey meat, because they can't afford local beef.

[Greg Stoker @gregjstoker]

So begins the largest veteran and military family act of civil disobedience since the Iraq war began, occupying the Cannon building Rotunda - protesting yet another forever war with Iran which includes the genocide in Palestine, the ethnic cleansing in southern Lebanon, and the potential ground operation in Cuba. Whatever violence we do overseas always comes back home and every war fought by this government is a war on the working class, which is you… we’re here until arrest or speaker Mike Johnson come out to answer for the dead and meet our demands.

If you’re an active duty service member and do not wish to join the 5th US generation fighting in a senseless self-destructive war, immoral war for the rich, we will stand with you, there is a way out. Info below:

Is this a state that should continue to exist?

Israeli politician Yitzik Kroizer says killing Palestinian children is normal if it supports the IDF mission.

He adds there are no innocent children in the West Bank.

Repost this. Please I beg you

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

Trump has proposed a $1.5 trillion defense budget — a 40% increase, the largest since WWII.

In exchange for more war he wants to:

-Cut the EPA budget by half
-Cut $10.7 billion for housing
-Cut $8.5 billion for K-12 programs
-Cancel $15 billion for clean energy
-Cut $2.5 billion for clean drinking water
-Eliminate $1.6 billion for youth job training
-Cut $3.5 billion from the Labor Department
-Eliminate $395 million for senior employment
-Eliminate $775 million in food assistance grants
-Eliminate the National Endowment for Democracy
-Cut $5 billion from the National Institutes of Health
-Eliminate the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)

In all, cuts to domestic programs would account for a 10% reduction in discretionary spending.

So @YouTube has officially rejected my appeal and confirmed that my and Nick Cruse’s stream @SocialistMMA did not follow their “firearms policy”. YouTube’s firearms policy states that no live-streamer can handle a firearm while live-streaming. Yet, neither of us were operating a firearm on the live, and never have.

To highlight the absurdity and arbitrariness of YouTube’s decision, Nick’s upload of the stream is STILL UP ON YOUTUBE, while mine was taken down, despite it being THE SAME STREAM!

The double-standard and lack of principles are obvious and @TeamYouTube should be ashamed of itself for its duplicity. Now, I am indefinitely banned from going live. Youtube doesn’t even tell me for how long. There’s obviously no recourse for YouTube content creators. Every decision is arbitrarily made and enforced. Shame on @youtube! Please retweet this so more people see it.

[Zhao DaShuai 东北进修🇨🇳 Commentary @zhao_dashuai]

A new way to fight corruption has emerged in China.📜

It's called the "perpetual responsibility system".

For most cases, promotions within the Chinese system comes in 2 steps:
1️⃣The nomination of candidates by the organization departments at equivalent levels (City, provincial, national).

2️⃣The ultimate authority comes from voting within the Party Committee immediately above the position to be filled, ie their immediate superiors.

Criteria like straw polls from the peers and subordinates from the candidates previous post. Their past achievements etc. Vetting into their finances and families are also done.

The perpetual responsibility system explicitly states that if an official is found to have been corrupt, then the past superiors that had promoted them will also be investigated.

Regardless of whether you have retired or not.

“Parenti’s analysis in Blackshirts and Reds strongly supports the organising principle that our movement needs now more than ever: a global united front against imperialism.

“What does that mean in practice? It means supporting China, supporting Cuba, supporting all the socialist countries. It means supporting national liberation from Palestine to Ireland. It means opposing imperialist war and aggression. It means organising against fascism. It means supporting the forces of multipolarity and the defence of the United Nations Charter. And it means countering the propaganda war, exposing lies, and building a powerful counter-hegemonic narrative — exactly as Parenti spent his life doing.

“Parenti showed that the choice facing humanity is not between capitalism and some imaginary perfect socialism, but between the actually existing struggle for a better world and the barbarism associated with a dying capitalism. Blackshirts and Reds is essential reading for anyone committed to standing on the side of socialism, not barbarism.”

“The English worker hates the Irish worker as a competitor who lowers his standard of life. He regards himself as a part of the ruling nation & becomes a tool of the English capitalists against Ireland, thus strengthening their domination over himself".
"The English worker cherishes religious and social prejudices against the Irish worker. His attitude is the same as that of the poor whites to the blacks in the USA. This antagonism is artificially intensified by the press & all the means at the disposal of the ruling classes".
"The Irishman does the same and sees in the English worker only the accomplice of the English rulers. This antagonism is the secret of the impotence of the working class. It is the secret by which the capitalist class maintains its power". The alternative is class solidarity.

This is heartbreaking.

"Dr. Hossam’s lawyer warns: his heart is exhausted, his body shattered from continuous torture, and the freezing temperatures in his cell are worsening his suffering.
Between cold walls, the doctor who saved hundreds of children and the wounded is left with no adequate food, no heating, and his health is deteriorating day by day.

🔴 Every moment of silence is a contribution to his suffering.
Any delay in saving him could be the moment that costs him his life.

✊🏻 Speak about him… spread his name… do not let the voice of the doctor who saved lives fade away."

“The concentration camp was never the normal condition for the average gentile German. Unless one were Jewish, or poor and unemployed, or of active leftist persuasion or otherwise openly anti-Nazi, Germany from 1933 until well into the war was not a nightmarish place. All the “good Germans” had to do was obey the law, pay their taxes, give their sons to the army, avoid any sign of political heterodoxy, and look the other way when unions were busted and troublesome people disappeared.

Since many “middle Americans” already obey the law, pay their taxes, give their sons to the army, are themselves distrustful of political heterodoxy, and applaud when unions are broken and troublesome people are disposed of, they probably could live without too much personal torment in a fascist state — some of them certainly seem eager to do so."

A special type of bank — "24-Hour Food Banks" — emerged on streets of Shenzhen.

These special refrigerated cabinets are stocked entirely with near-expiry food items donated by nearby supermarkets and bakeries. All goods are provided free of charge to those in need, offering immediate support while combating food waste.

From opening until 8:00 PM daily, priority access is given to groups such as low-income families, people with disabilities, children in need, elderly individuals who have lost their only child, and outdoor workers. After 8:00 PM, any remaining items are made available to all Shenzhen residents.

To ensure freshness and safety, all food is delivered, sorted, and restocked on the same day, with each item clearly labeled "For Use Today." The cabinets are regularly sanitized, and volunteers perform item-by-item checks to maintain quality and hygiene.
