Sports do not exist outside politics.

We must resist the whitewashing of US crimes. We must resist the spectacle.

The politics of the World Cup are the politics of displacement, where stadiums are built on stolen land or razed neighborhoods, migrants and the unhoused swept from city centers, and local budgets gutted for security apparatus that will later be turned against protesters.

Those who won't stand by Cuba now weren't with Cuba to begin with.

Enough of the Puritanism, enough of the spectator/armchair behaviour, enough of the whiny defeatism.

Older adults who have ever been behind bars are expected to live nearly 6 fewer years than similar peers who have never been incarcerated.

Mass incarceration is shaving years off people's lives:

During the pandemic, the Israeli regime blockade of Gaza prevented enough masks from going into the strip. Yahya Sinwar, who during this time was always stressing the need for masks, went on TV and gave a tutorial on wrapping your Keffiyeh to make a makeshift mask:

Oh those people are terrorists, you say? What terrorist things are they doing? Oh, they're killing military forces who are invading their country? Okay.

Oh and those other people are terrorists, you say? What did they do? Oh, they broke into a weapons factory and destroyed military equipment intended for use in an active genocide? Okay.

Oh and those other people over there are terrorists also? What evil terrorist crimes are they guilty of? Oh, they held pieces of cardboard with the words "I Support Palestine Action" on them? Okay.

Maybe I just don't understand what terrorism is, then.

Colombian president Gustavo Petro has raised alarm bells about foreign (Israeli) interference in the Colombian elections, including manipulation of the vote-counting software. The Pacto Histórico has challenged results in about a quarter of the voting stations

Israel just murdered 18-year-old high school student Raghad Ashour.

She was returning home from her final high school exam when she was struck by an Israeli airstrike.

It is unconscionable that the US continues to fund Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people.

When they start talking like this about you, chances are you're going to get bombed.

Trump's bombs murdered our children and our leader. Yet Vance and his press corps act surprised our negotiators aren't friendly.

For our Octavia’s Parabellum series, @kwanetaharris pens “Letters from the Free City of Maroon,” a work of Southern dystopian short fiction imagining a future of debt slavery & company towns where liberation lives in maroon communities in the urban South. https://t.co/CVFm9qm5md

[Heshmat Alavi's Trenchcoat @UrOrientalist]

Most of the limited number of fuel/cargo ships leaving Hormuz are Iranian and the US officially lifted the financial siege which means the most sanctioned country in the world is finally able to sell its oil properly and all this happened cause of 40 days of heroic fighting

Why did X delete all my tweets about Elon? I’m going to share screenshots of them all, one after another. Free speech Elon!

This community note is incorrect. Trade is NOT capitalism. Trade simply moves goods around; capitalism dictates how those goods are produced and who owns the resulting wealth. I know it’s a hard concept for capitalists to grasp but you can have markets & trade without capitalism.

In other words, the US can't be trusted.

“The erasure of history and above all of colonialism and war is a constant of the mythology committed to transforming all the leaders of the communist and anti-colonialist movements into monsters—more or less twins of Hitler—as was done for Stalin.”
