Nasrallah: "What is happening in Gaza proves international law cannot protect you. Memorize this. Some say "give up your weapons, rely on the UN." If you are weak the world will not acknowledge you, protect you, or even cry for you. What protects you is your weapons, your power!"
There's 0% chance that Obama doesn't know that this is bullshit. He's doing a job--the same job he's always done. He is running interference for the oligarchs by further stupefying liberals.
🇺🇸 2026 y la gente sigue sin entender que el imperialismo yanqui no deja nada de provecho en tu país.
1) EE.UU. exporta dólares al mundo vía déficits (bases militares, guerras, importaciones);
2) Los bancos centrales extranjeros acumulan dólares y solo pueden invertirlos en deuda pública estadounidense;
3) EE.UU. no necesita pagar con recursos reales, solo emite más pasivos en dólares.
Ser parte del subyugariado de Estados Unidos implica que eres tú el que financia sus guerras y sus déficits. El poder de Estados Unidos no proviene de lo que produce, sino de lo que emite.
Todo es peor porque eres una colonia de un Imperio que no produce nada y cuyo mejor resultado es que no te acabe bombardeando también a ti.
The technology of this Chinese company (Orient Sundar, 奥润顺达) is actually super interesting: they've developed full "passive-house" systems where houses/apartments are so well insulated from heat or cold that they require virtually no heating or cooling, even in harsh climates.
They've actually developed an entire residential compound with that technology in Gaobeidian, a city next to Beijing, which gets extremely cold in winter (as low as −23.3°C) and one resident interviewed in Chinese media said that her flat stays at about 23°C all year with "no need to heat the house in winter or turn on the air conditioner in summer" (https://t.co/0QNCBfjTHa).
Funnily, one problem they've had with the technology in China is that they underestimated how much heat was naturally produced inside homes, because most Chinese families live with their elderly parents who cook three meals a day at home: due to this, the flats generated around 40% more internal heat than their models initially assumed (https://t.co/7JChdeQlBq).
In other words, with this technology, the home heating system becomes grandma's cooking 😅
🇷🇺🇩🇪 Lavrov placed a Russian report on Bucha basically in the face of German foreign minister at the UN meeting.
Wadephul looked at it for a while, but ignored it and just read his notes with his demands from Russia.
Why did he not comment on it?
Not even rejecting in response?
Looks like Wadephul was not able to move even an inch outside the prepared notes and script.
Imagine FB goes bankrupt in our lifetime 🙏
Zuckerberg lost nearly $9 billion in a single day after Goldman Sachs poured cold water on Meta’s AI-fueled stock rally.
Turns out spending 100s of billions on AI infrastructure before figuring out how to actually make enough money from it might be… a tiny problem.
The AI bubble is starting to look expensive. 😏
⛔️“Slava Ukraini” was a fascist slogan formally used by the nationalist underground of the OUN and UPA—movements whose history includes collaboration with Nazi Germany, complicity in the Holocaust, and responsibility for the mass murder of Poles.
OUN members answered with “Glory to the Heroes!” or “Glory to the Leader!”—the latter referring to Bandera. Under the prescribed ritual, they shouted the slogan with an arm raised in a salute deliberately reminiscent of the fascist style.
The photo below shows a typical newspaper published under the German occupation of Ukraine.
This particular issue, titled 'New Life,' came out in Koziatyn, Vinnytsia region, on October 23, 1943.
Right at the top: “Slava Ukraini.”
Below it comes talk of the “victorious advance” of the German “liberators,” followed by rhetoric about “Zhydy (Jews)” supposedly taking over Ukraine—the familiar poison of the Judeo-Bolshevik conspiracy myth.
That history cannot simply be scrubbed away because the slogan later acquired a different political meaning. “Glory to Ukraine” carries historical baggage stained by the blood shed under Nazism and by Ukrainian collaborators who served it. Nor does that history magically disappear because Zelenskyy, who is Jewish, repeats the phrase.
So whenever a liberal, progressive, or leftist casually types “Slava Ukraini,” perhaps they should first do something progressives usually claim to value: historical inquiry.
Slogans have histories.
Pretending not to know them does not make those histories disappear.
fraternities exist to train young men into being willing to do *anything* to be a part of the in group. to accept any kind of abuse if the abuse is coming from a position of power. the humiliation rituals are the entire point
On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell @jvplive) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same @Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.
Los regímenes democrático-liberales son dictaduras del capital, y la labor de los partidos políticos consiste en crear y vender narrativas que hagan avanzar los intereses de la oligarquía, logrando que la ciudadanía las acepte como propias.
Bien, entonces, ¿por qué surge ahora esta protesta?
El objetivo no es otro que atacar a una figura clave de la sociología española: el rentista individual, el multipropietario de toda la vida, aquel que posee dos o tres viviendas.
Desde 2008, Occidente vive un proceso de acaparamiento de toda la realidad material por parte de la oligarquía. Nos dirigimos hacia un capitalismo de suscripción en el que la propiedad personal es prácticamente inexistente: solo se accede a los servicios mediante pagos mensuales, porque todo pertenece a estructuras financieras o económicas. El capital, por tanto, sigue expandiéndose, y de esta protesta —totalmente planificada— saldrá una ley que expropiará, o forzará a vender, a ese multipropietario español, el Paco de toda la vida, dejando vía libre para que el Estado, primero, y el gran capital, después, se hagan con esas propiedades que antes estaban en manos del español de a pie.
La clave del mecanismo es el desplazamiento del enemigo. En lugar de señalar al fondo de inversión o al banco, se señala al vecino con dos pisos. Así, la expropiación se presenta como justicia social, y el verdadero beneficiario —el capital concentrado— queda fuera del foco.
I’ve watched part of Naza, and now I understand why they’re so desperate to shut it down. It completely wrecks their narrative and image..
The level of detail about their crimes and inhumanity is absolutely chilling.
La brutalidad de las fuerzas represivas del régimen español contra jóvenes de Valladolid que protestan por el desahucio de una mujer con 87 años de la casa de toda su vida.
Vean la diferencia de cómo los mercenarios policiales tratan a sus compañeros nazis y cómo tratan a activistas que simplemente piden acceso a vivienda para toda la población.
Para esto es para lo que están los matones con placa, servir al capital y proteger al fascismo, el odio anti-obrero les corroe por dentro, son limpiasables con los poderosos y sabuesos con el pueblo.
Video shows Kimberly Guilfoyle, US ambassador to Greece and former fiancee of Trump Jr. meeting privately with the leaders of Romania's Social Democratic Party on March 31st, in a Bucharest hotel.
Just 6 Days later, the Social Democrats allied with the pro-Russian extremists from AUR and filled the motion that collapsed the Romanian government led by PM Bolojan, which strongly opposed purchasing US gas at above market prices.
In a WSJ article yesterday, sources present at a meeting between a Greek minister and Guilfoyle stated she bragged about having collapsed the RO government for its refusal to buy US gas, warning the US can do the same in Greece.
It was confirmed to me this morning by a prominent football journalist informed by a former FAI board member that the UK-based player agency Unique Sports Group (@UniqueSG) threatened the Irish players yesterday that they'd never play for US-owned UK clubs if they refused to play
BIG BREAKING: Edward Snowden calls for the IMPRISONMENT of Sam Altman to establish liability for the damages caused by OpenAI's models, to a thunderous applause in a packed hall of 1000+ people at ETH Zurich. Let's stop this claptrap of safetyism and throw Altman in JAIL.
Thing you have to understand about state and federal agencies going after the Mob between the 1980s and 2000s is that they didn't want to eradicate crime—they were muscling the lowlifes out of lucrative markets for white-collar criminals. Uncle Sam will always be capo dei capi.

This is a very interesting policy idea: As he campaigns for re-election, Brazil's President Lula da Silva has offered a debt relief program for low-income families.
The idea is that the government will buy defaulted debts of up to 10,000 reais (c. $1900 USD) of working-class families.
Banks know they probably won't get back most of this debt, because it's in default, so the government will buy it for big discounts of 90+%.
Some cynical critics are portraying this as a supposed bailout of banks, but that's not true at all. The government will not pay the face value of the debt, which is of course what the bank would want. (This is what the US government often does in its bailouts, which benefit creditors, not debtors.)
Instead, in this proposal, the Brazilian government will hold auctions where creditors sell the defaulted debt with a huge haircut of 90+%. Then, after buying the debt, the Brazilian government will forgive it.
At the same time, Lula has also proposed a ban on online gambling websites, which aims to further reduce the growing levels of debt among working-class families.
