@tparsi "Was" not worth it? Like it is over? Weird to use past tense, this horrific war is not worth the deaths so far, but (sadly) it IS not worth it, present tense. The US war on Iran IS still in process, and in fact may just be beginning. CNN guy acts like it ended. We wish.
You share photos of women in hijab and say:
"Look how oppressed they are."
You never share photos of women holding their dead child in a bombed hospital and say:
"Look what my taxes did."
You are not worried about women’s rights.
You are worried about maintaining the illusion that your violence is somehow enlightened.
Dua Lipa speaks out about the Albania protests: "I find it so inspiring to see how much people really care. You know, day after day they're hitting the streets, because the government has opened up this part of a beautiful nature reserve to a high-end beachfront development. And of course, this has been a huge story internationally because the company that's invested in the project is part-owned by Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump. But what I actually find concerning is the principle that the government could just change the law to remove the environmental protection without any kind of public consultation."
My heart is with the family & loved ones of Louisa Gag, a beloved community member & public servant committed to making Boston a safer & more accessible city.
Her dedication to improving the livability of our streets, neighborhoods, & public spaces has made Boston a better place.
The same way they ignored Jill Stein and numerous other anti war/anti imperialist/anti genocide third party candidates who are concisely speaking for the working class, all the live long day.
"I would really like folks to ask themselves the question: 'Why is it that I spent so many minutes & hours podcast, streaming, etc over the last year talking about Graham Platner -- why did I immediately & enthusiastically glom onto this campaign & boost it, but I have been completely silent about the first elected Socialist City Council person in like, 100 years of American history, who fought for & secured the fight for $15 an hour, & made that issue a national one bc of her successes fighting against Jeff Bezos in Washington State. Why is that not a candidate -- who's up against one of the worst warmongers in congress, Adam Smith -- why is that a person that I'm indifferent to hosting on my enormous platform given how powerful you know your platform is? You created Graham Platner. Why are you ignoring Kshama Sawant?"
I was born in 1956, just turned 70. Been active in trying to challenge racism and imperialism since I was 16. I'm still at it, hoping we shall overcome, some day...
A primeira foto é de 1956. Ela mostra uma mulher negra observando membros da Ku Klux Klan (organização terrorista, racista, de extrema-direita, focada em supremacia branca) caminhando por uma calçada em Montgomery, Alabama (EUA). Não encontrei o autor da foto, mas a maioria das fontes afirma que foi feita em 1956.
A segunda foto mostra membros do grupo Patriot Front (grupo supremacista branco e nacionalista, formado em 2017, que defende abertamente o que chamam de "Fascismo Americano") viajando no metrô durante o 250º aniversário da independência dos EUA em Washington D.C., enquanto uma mulher negra os observa. A foto é do fotógrafo Cheney Orr, feita em 4 de julho de 2026, 70 anos após a primeira foto.
“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.” — Frank Zappa

On the eve of the 250th Anniversary of the United States of America, I honor the Chicago Young Lords and their protests of 1969 – the first marches for Puerto Rican self-determination in Chicago’s history. 57 years later, Puerto Rico is still a U.S. colony.
This weekend, while America declares its commitment to “No Kings,” we must also demand “NO COLONIES.”
When we support Puerto Rico’s right to self-determination, we support the right of sovereignty for people everywhere.
Here in the U.S. people are ignorant/afraid of democratic socialists, can you imagine a communist win, like this one in Austria? Brainwashed USians would lose their (small) minds!
El Partido Comunista ha vuelto a arrasar en las elecciones municipales en Graz, la segunda ciudad más grande de Austria. Lo ha logrado gracias a su política de municipalización total de servicios y de vivienda pública masiva.
@davidsvine Let's close the entire imperialist chapter of the U.S. as the world's policeman, "Pax Americana" and the myth of U.S. exceptionalism. The oppressed "third" world, the global majority - the new bipolar world - really and truly are sick of it.
Power throughout the region was gradually returning. Venezuela's power, crippled by years of underinvestment/U.S. imposed economic sanctions, regularly experiences problems, leading to daily, hours-long blackouts in some regions. https://t.co/h9ezcqo8QE
@caitoz Saw him discuss Iran with Prof. Mearsheimer, he made some good points then ruined it all by using a racist term in a bad analogy comparing Israel to "Detroit welfare queens". A bad look. Who says stuff like this anymore? He does.
