Y'all on this app crashing out and disowning family over a damn election while both sides sip champagne together and cut deals while laughing at your asses.
The Trump admin was planning to force out nearly 3 million immigrants - incl. citizens & Green Card holders - by falsely declaring them dead, but this whistleblower refused to do it. You can imagine they would have cast the net wider if this worked out for them.
The U.S. side has doubled down on its blockade and sanctions on Cuba, going so far as to add Cuban leaders to its sanction list. That once again reveals the U.S.’s hegemonic and domineering behavior and bullying practices. China firmly opposes it.
A stable Cuba is what the international community wants to see, and any attempt from the U.S. to destabilize Cuba will eventually backfire.
We urge the U.S. to immediately stop its blockade and any other forms of coercion and pressuring against Cuba, and stop infringing upon Cuban people’s right to survive and thrive. China will, as always, firmly support Cuba in safeguarding its national sovereignty and security and opposing external interference.
The New York Times accidentally revealed the moral bankruptcy of capitalism.
China is making breakthroughs in cancer drugs, clinical trials, biotech research, and life-saving medicines.
The first American reaction is not:
“How many patients can this save?”
It is:
“Will this threaten U.S. dominance?”
“Will American biotech lose its edge?”
“Will Big Pharma struggle to keep up?”
That tells you everything.
In a sane world, better cancer drugs would be a human victory.
In Washington’s world, even medicine becomes a battlefield the moment China helps people live.
China’s biotech rise is not just about winning.
It is about responsibility to a massive patient population that cannot wait for American monopolies, American prices, or American permission.
Cancer patients do not care about U.S. dominance.
They care about staying alive.
And that is exactly why China cannot leave this field to America.
@michael_david41@MaxBlumenthal@miguelhmo@UMich University of Michigan is so dirty. They just made a land grab for Concordia University in Ann Arbor. This, despite the fact that they pay no taxes, and the city wanted to use the land for affordable housing. They're pushing a big data center in Ypsi, right on the river. Waste!
@ShangguanJiewen@MaxBlumenthal The US has to be expelled from the UN before any international action can be taken. The US will always veto anything productive.
One of the most detailed testimonies I've heard of the Israeli torture and systematic sexual abuse of Gaza Sumud Flotilla activists abducted in international waters while attempting to bring aid to Gaza
One under-discussed possibility regarding Thiel's apparent move to Argentina is that Argentina has - for many years - allowed certain wealthy, foreign billionaires to establish de facto parallel states in the country, where the federal government declines to intervene, even to protect its own citizens and laws.
Roughly seven years ago, I traveled to Argentina and wrote about how UK billionaire Joe Lewis (who Trump recently pardoned after he was found guilty of insider trading) had established one such "parallel state" in Argentine Patagonia, and even controls a private airport that the Argentine state doesn't even pretend to monitor. (Article link is below)
Did Milei allow Thiel the opportunity to experiment with one such "parallel state"? Given how Thiel and his associates are eager to create "network states" along similar lines, and Milei's own ideological leanings and personal ties to that crowd, it is an angle worth considering.

@Jazz_Phan@caitoz@CatJova So fitting that DeNiro is a typical shit-lib. He pretends to be a tough guy, but is just a paper tiger in real life. Just like many radical liberals. All bark and no bite.
@Axel_Roffi@RnaudBertrand I'm bad enough with names in general. They can't be categorized like other information.
When I hear Chinese names on radio or a podcast, it doesn't connect unless I've seen it written.
Western media should do better about multiple cultural gaps having to do with Chinese names.
It would be really nice to sort all these orgs out.
All this stuff is real. But it's impossible to get "serious people" (college professors, major journalists, even big indie journalists) to really put this all together.
Even if true, it SOUNDS too crazy to be true.
The ignorance is deliberate and made possible by this. Orchestrated media blackout on everything that is positive about China, and in my opinion that is everything. The last 40 years have made China and its achievements the best country in recorded history.
- China has no diplomatic relations to the Vatican
- Freemasonry and occult secret societies are banned
- 97% homownership in China vs only 68% in Europe and 65% in the US
- 67% of all shares on Shanghai and Shenzhen are family owned vs 70-80% of the shares on S&P and DOW which are owned by investment banks and pension funds (fascism-corporatism).
China has exposed everything that is bad and wrong with the west!
@IAmDouglasKim@RnaudBertrand Our news media and politicians certainly don't see Asians as humans.
For the average USian, they don't often hear these names (the news only talks about Xi) then there's the surname order confusion, and transliteration issues from decades past (Mao Tse-Tung vs Zedong, etc)
@HaraldinChina@RnaudBertrand I know 3 of the 5 names you listed first, but couldn't think of them when I read the headline.
I watch a lot of China news, but they're often Americans; Ben Norton is in China, Kevin Walmsley (Inside China Business) or expats like Carl Zha; not sure if he's a China national.
Zionism is riddled with antisemitism.
So much so, I've managed to write an entire book on the subject!
To get a flavour of the theme, please open this thread and judge for yourself...
@operagxofficial Just here to say Hulu isn't working on Opera GX this past week. I cleared my cache, which got me to the site, but then infinite white screen when trying to navigate anywhere.
@ForeignAffairs This article is insanely biased against China.
Why would Japan have any interest in helping the US "contain" (aggravate) China? Other than a ridiculous exercise in chest-puffing?
The author takes for granted that the US is sole hegemon & superpower; but that's not the case!
Israel is moving to seize the West Bank – and silence makes it easier for the occupation. I just signed this petition to push leaders to freeze trade and sanction the Israeli ministers pushing this illegal takeover. Add your name and help make this impossible to ignore. https://t.co/yXfC7jNYAb
@IntEngineering Let's look at history. When was the last time China & Japan were at war? Who was the aggressor?
Denial of the Rape of Nanking is as bad as Holocaust denial.
Where are criticisms of Japanese leaders paying homage to war criminals from the aforementioned atrocities?
@IntEngineering The relevant information is the cost of storage, measured per ton of CO2. It's not in the article!
Paying farmers to plant cover crops cost $50/ ton.
Growing hemp instead of corn for fuel ethanol could both sequester CO2 into soils, and reduce GhG-intensive farming inputs.
