BREAKING: The US just quietly removed UN expert Francesca Albanese from its sanctions list, a week after a federal judge temporarily blocked the measures over free speech violations, according to Reuters.
This was never about law or policy … it was about silencing among the most powerful advocates for Palestinian human rights.
Judge Richard Leon saw through it. He called out the Trump administration for targeting @FranceskAlbs "because of the idea or message expressed"—for daring to recommend arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant for their crimes in Gaza.
They weaponized sanctions to weaken her mission, to make an example of anyone who dares challenge Israeli impunity. But Francesca never backed down.
The prosecutor’s ICC charges against Netanyahu remain. The genocide in Gaza continues. But today, truth scored a win.
How the world works in a nutshell: giant corporations profit from an illegal war whilst the governments who wage them tell the rest of us to tighten our belts.
I've noticed a worrying trend among some Thai #BL fans where they are using AI tools to generate videos and photos of ships making out/kissing. Please stop doing this - it is profoundly unethical

Much love to Alex Pretti and Renee Good—but remember—ICE has killed 9 people in 2026. You know the names of the 2 white people they've killed.
ICE has also killed a Black man named Keith Porter, a Cambodian named Parady La, and five Latinos named Heber Sanchaz Domínguez, Victor Manuel Diaz, Luis Beltran Yanez-Cruz, Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres, and Geraldo Lunas Campos.
ICE is on pace to kill more than 100 people this year. Abolish ICE. Impeach Noem. Prosecute those who committed these crimes.
REST IN POWER, MICHAEL PARENTI (1933–2026)
Tragic news that Michael Parenti passed away peacefully this morning, surrounded by his family, at the age of 92.
One of the most influential anti imperialist thinkers in the United States, Parenti spent decades exposing how power actually works beneath the language of democracy, development, and humanitarianism. In this 1986 lecture at the University of Colorado Boulder, he dismantles the myth that foreign aid is about helping people.
Parenti argued that foreign aid functions as a subsidy for empire, transferring wealth from ordinary people in the Global North to elites in the Global South who protect multinational interests. Drawing on economists like Kenneth Boulding and Thorstein Veblen, he highlighted the missing class dimension, that those who profit from imperial investments are not the ones who pay the costs of maintaining them.
He pointed to the Philippines, Cuba before the revolution, and British ruled India to show a recurring pattern. Infrastructure was built for plantations and exports while entire communities were left without roads, clinics, or schools. Aid money, he argued, props up private corporations and funds police and military forces whose real role is suppressing impoverished populations.
His message was blunt and remains urgent. Empire benefits a small elite and devastates everyone else. Without class analysis the conversation is baby talk. With it the machinery of empire becomes impossible to deny.
Rest in Power, Parenti. You taught us so much.

Jeffrey Sachs: the Europeans "went along with every abuse", against Gaza, Iran, Venezuela, so then "it's a little sad," when they are "surprised" about Denmark and Greenland.
Three years ago today, Georgia state police murdered Tortuguita as part of their drive to destroy the Weelaunee Forest and build a deadly police militarization center.
Tort fought for a world without police and capitalism, and so should we. Viva, viva Tortuguita.

Why is it that the white child has "lord" in front of his name but not August who is half black and is the son of a Duke? Why is it that August's sibling is missing when we've seen them already? And why is Kanthony's child missing when Kate was pregnant BEFORE Penelope?
