What stage of capitalism/socialism/ communism are we in when the NY Post’s “communist scare tactics” against @ZohranKMamdani turn into a viral collector’s item—selling out in NYC, while I (a NJ Resident & an anti-capitalist) hunt down 5 copies as others struggle to find one?

[Dr. Sabreena Ghaffar-Siddiqui @sabreenaGS]

Blonde-haired, blue-eyed white people from Ukraine were celebrated for making home-made Molotov cocktails to defend their land, but the brown Arab Muslim, the Iranian, the Afghan, is far too “uncivilised” to have the right to resist. Their resistance is “barbaric” because it comes from an inherently “violent” culture.

The selective application of international law and one’s right to defend themselves from illegal occupation and colonial violence has been revealed to be a complete contradiction in the west, and is no doubt infuriating.

But we need to also understand how these “resistance” narratives are processed in communities.

These narratives do not stay on our screens. They shape how entire communities see themselves.
When Indigenous, Black, and other racialised peoples repeatedly see their histories, struggles, cultures, and resistance framed as dangerous, irrational, or inherently violent, many begin to internalise those messages.

Some distance themselves from their own identities in search of safety, acceptance, or legitimacy.

Others carry a deep, unspoken rage born from exclusion, dispossession, and the constant demand to prove their humanity.

When people are disconnected from their roots, denied dignity, and taught to be ashamed of where they come from, they will still search for belonging. It’s a basic human need to feel a sense of community.

The question is whether we create spaces that nurture healing, identity, and justice, or leave them vulnerable to finding belonging in places that exploit their pain.

seatbelts aren't designed for breasts.
Real blood wasn't used for period product testing until like 2023.
Female crash dummies weren't regularly used in crash tests until 2022.
Women are 30% more likely to die if her surgeon is a man.

Endometriosis affects 1 in 9 women yet it takes 10 years to diagnose nd there's more research done on male pattern baldness than endo.
nd endo studies consist of how attractive endo patients are to males...

Their love was built on mutual love, solidarity, and a shared passion for the liberation of the Tamil masses.

America imposes 60 year embargo on Cuba: “Why is Cuba poor?”

America imposes sanctions on Venezuela and does a coup: “Why doesn’t communism work?”

Israel blows up Gazan infrastructure including airport & blocks development: “Why isn’t Gaza Dubai?”

CIA imports drugs & GOP opposes gun regs: “why is there urban crime?”

Bipartisan duopoly criminalizes protests: “Where have all the protestors gone?”

They have been separated for 4 years. He came to her maternal home drunk and attacked their son and she fought back in self defense. She then went to a local temple to pray and seek forgiveness. From there, she went straight to the police station and reported herself. Free her.

A Tamil rapper is in prison for posting a TikTok video of his performance.

His name is Hiphop Sangee. He’s 24. He’s from Kilinochchi. And he is currently behind bars.

Sri Lanka called his video “terrorism”.

Sangee must be freed. The PTA must be repealed.

this is one of several mass graves of Tamil civilians disappeared by the Sinhalese regime between 1995-1998 after they recaptured Jaffna.

the existence of this mass grave only became known because the rape and murder of a Tamil girl by Sinhalese soldiers drew rare international attention. but excavations only started recently.

📍Toronto.

May 10, 2009. Mother’s Day.

17 years ago today, Tamil Canadians blocked the Gardiner Expressway.

For hours, one of Canada’s busiest roads stood still. Their demands were simple: a ceasefire & an end to the killing.

Canada did not listen.

Thousands more would die.

‘My right hand was amputated during the end of the war... I was 10 years old at the time and I became disabled.

We were preparing to leave Mullivaaikaal  by boats.

Had I received medical help immediately after my injury, there would have been no need for amputating my arm.’

[Dr. Thusiyan Nandakumar @Thusi_Kumar]

Watch until the end to hear what happened to this woman and her daughter.

Not a single soldier has ever been held responsible. The men who did this are still free, still living normal lives, seventeen years on.

Every Sri Lankan should be ashamed.
