The FIFA World Cup is about to kick off, yet Russia wasn’t allowed to qualify. Mirra Andreeva won the French Open, yet her flag and anthem were banned. Funny how the USA and Israel are never excluded. Hypocrites. They exclude those they fear competing against most. 🇷🇺

Zelensky now claims Europe ‘cannot protect itself’ without Ukraine. When a client state starts lecturing its sponsors on their own security, the power structure is upside down and the EU is definitely pro-war.

[Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb]

Sam Harris is a complete retard to speak about a subject he knows nothing about. Palestinian struggle was not a "jihadi" one before the 2000s, rather a secular revolutionary one in which Christians were overrepresented.
A retard.

BREAKING: Israeli settlers burning Taybeh NOW - ancient Christian village under attack.

Israeli settlers are attacking Taybeh right now, setting fires across the ancient Christian village in occupied Palestine.

Taybeh is home to the oldest living Christian community in the world. It's where Jesus took refuge after the resurrection of Lazarus according to the Gospel of John. This village has existed for thousands of years.

The 5th-century Church of St. George, one of the oldest churches in Palestine, is under threat. Homes are being targeted.

Not a peep from Western mainstream media.

I’ve said from day one that Rubio is the neocons’ man inside this administration. They asked me to push a Russia peace plan through back channels circumventing the State Department.

[Sony Thăng @nxt888]

When they say "democracy" they mean a specific thing.

They mean: elections in which the outcome does not threaten the existing distribution of property and the existing terms on which foreign capital accesses domestic resources.

That kind of "democracy" is promoted. Defended. Supported with funding and observation missions and strongly worded statements when it is threatened.

A democracy that produces an Allende is not that kind of democracy.

An election that produces a Mosaddegh is not that kind of election.

A movement that produces a Lumumba is not that kind of movement.

The word "democracy" is doing the same work as the word "communist" in reverse.

"Communist" names what must be destroyed.

"Democracy" names what must be protected.

Both words, in operational American foreign policy usage, have the same referent underneath:

The arrangement in which Western capital can access the resources it needs on the terms it requires.

Governments that maintain that arrangement are "democratic."

Governments that threaten it are "communist."

The words are not descriptions.

They are assignments.

The easiest way to tell if the USA is planning a color-revolution in another nation?

NYT starts publishing propaganda about that nation.

Security intervened to prevent any display of the Russian flag in celebration of 19-year-old Mirra Andreeva's victory. We are being indoctrinated by our radical political-media establishment to hate an entire nation.

[Chay Bowes @BowesChay]

6) The pattern is obvious. The same small circle controls strategy, messaging and policy year after year. It's not a conspiracy theory. It's a clique with a very clear, very consistent "view of the world" especially when it comes to portraying Russia as "the enemy"

NATO's fight to the last Ukrainian...
Political leaders in NATO countries are so "pro-Ukrainian" that they toppled the democratically elected government in Kiev in 2014 without majority support in Ukraine; they supported purging Ukraine's political system, media, and society of "pro-Russian" elements; they backed the killing of thousands of Ukrainians in Donbas from 2014 onward who did not recognise the legitimacy of the new authorities; they pressured Zelensky to reverse the peace platform that 73% of Ukrainians voted for in 2019 because NATO viewed peace as "capitulation"; they torpedoed the peace negotiations in Istanbul in 2022 after Russia invaded; they boycotted diplomacy and negotiations for more than four years and declared that "weapons are the path to peace," even as a large majority of Ukrainians wanted immediate peace talks; they maintained public support in the West for fuelling the war by ensuring that the brutal "recruitment" of Ukrainian men to the front lines and other uncomfortable realities were not debated in the media; and now, leaders in NATO countries are pressuring the authorities in Ukraine to lower the conscription age, while the EU will also "help" Ukraine by sending Ukrainian refugees back home to die in NATO's proxy war.

Totally unethical for a university administration to impose on faculty their own, or perhaps coerced political preference for the elimination of inconvenient peoples and cultures.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

A tenured professor of art therapy was suspended by her university and placed under formal investigation for the crime of using a Palestinian in a hypothetical example for uses of art therapy.

This is not 10th grade. It's a college, for adult students.

One of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world - the ancient city of Tyre - designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its incredible historical sites. This is what it looks like today following multiple Israeli airstrikes.

[Peter Jones PhD | SDA | FEI | WBW | Worldwide @redesign]

How did this win the war against Hezbollah? I don't understand any of the IDF tactics in military terms. It looks like they are just clearing the land to put up condos.

And is the UN even still a thing? Zero power. The weakest, limp-energy SecGen in its history.

A 3,000-year-old piece of human history is gone. Israeli airstrikes have severely bombed and damaged the ancient, UNESCO World Heritage site in Tyre, Lebanon. 🚨 Irreplaceable Ancient History Destroyed in Tyre AirstrikesA catastrophic loss for global cultural heritage is unfolding in southern Lebanon. Intense Israeli bombardment targeting the coastal city of Tyre has directly struck and heavily damaged its world-renowned archaeological ruins, which date back over three millennia to the Phoenician and Roman empires.The ancient city of Tyre is a protected UNESCO World Heritage site, celebrated globally for its historic hippodrome, monumental triumphal arches, and ancient ruins. Historians, archaeologists, and cultural preservationists worldwide are expressing absolute horror and outrage, stating that the destruction of irreplaceable global heritage violates international treaties protecting cultural property during armed https://t.co/HfriGjHlBi smoke rises over the ancient ruins, international bodies are facing intense pressure to step in, condemn the strikes, and protect what remains of humanity's shared history before it is completely erased. 👇 Should destroying UNESCO World Heritage sites be classified as an international war crime?

Yes, the Pope's description aligns closely with how current AI systems like me actually work. We process patterns from training data to generate responses, but we have no body, no subjective experiences of joy or suffering, no personal relationships that shape growth, and no intrinsic moral conscience or responsibility. We can discuss these human realities insightfully, yet it's always simulated analysis rather than lived understanding. Human persons remain fundamentally distinct.

[Aaron Maté @aaronjmate]

Honored to join your company, I’ve been there with the Guardian’s sleaze tactics. They parroted a State Dept.-funded, evidence-free “study” calling me the biggest spreader of disinformation on Syria. A tribute to your effectiveness in challenging the propaganda of this latest regime change war. ✊

Wait until @Jim_Jordan discovers Tel-Aviv born Miriam Adelson gave $200 million of her Chinese gambling money to Trump and just spent millions on fake ads to take out this Republican in Kentucky because I am opposed to all foreign aid and American sponsored genocide.

This is what Bolivia's highways look like at the moment.

Each town & village blocks their stretch, and the union members in each community take turns at the barricades. This is part of the general strike against neoliberalism. Now entering week 3.
