The fact that a billionaire can buy any social software platform and do with it what he wants is an excellent argument for the need for free-software based federated platforms built on open interoperable protocols

We will never forget how starvation was weaponized as a genocidal policy against the people in Gaza.

“I received direct threats targeting me on my phone from the Mossad, from the Israelis, and they threatened to kill me.”

Worth recalling that, because Venezuela is a signatory to the Rome Statute, American service members and their commanding officers are subject to International Criminal Court jurisdiction for any war crimes (such as the killing of unarmed civilians) committed on Venezuelan soil.

[Bruno Rodríguez P @BrunoRguezP]

We condemn the announcement of the #US Government of closing #Venezuela's airspace, an aggressive action for which no State has any authority beyond its borders and which should raise the strongest rejection by the international community.

This is an extremely serious threat against International Law and an increased escalation of the military aggression and psychological warfare against the people and government of Venezuela, with incalculable and unpredictable consequences for peace, security and stability in Latin America and the Caribbean.

We call on the international community and all the peoples of the world to denounce the prelude of an illegitimate attack.

Italy's PM is a right-winger,
but this is still happening because Italy had a general strike that scared the shit out of them. Strikes r the most effective way to stop profits, get demands, & force policy changes

If u can shut down profit, u can make any politician do anything.

Imperial countries don't have "defence" budgets.

They have empire budgets.

A group of settlers just lynched Hamdan Ballal, co director of our film no other land. They beat him and he has injuries in his head and stomach, bleeding. Soldiers invaded the ambulance he called, and took him. No sign of him since.

Accusing Wikileaks of partiality after they expose your USAID/NED/Internews funding is funny

[WikiLeaks @wikileaks]

USAID has pushed nearly half a billion dollars ($472.6m) through a secretive US government financed NGO, "Internews Network" (IN), which has “worked with” 4,291 media outlets, producing in one year 4,799 hours of broadcasts reaching up to 778 million people and "training” over 9000 journalists (2023 figures). IN has also supported social media censorship initiatives.

The operation claims “offices” in over 30 countries, including main offices in US, London, Paris and regional HQs in Kiev, Bangkok and Nairobi. It is headed up by Jeanne Bourgault, who pays herself $451k a year. Bourgault worked out of the US embassy in Moscow during the early 1990s, where she was in charge of a $250m budget, and in other revolts or conflicts at critical times, before formally rotating out of six years at USAID to IN.

Bourgault’s IN bio and those of its other key people and board members have been recently scrubbed from its website but remain accessible at https://t.co/Zp7SvobICU. Records show the board being co-chaired by Democrat securocrat Richard J. Kessler and Simone Otus Coxe, wife of NVIDIA billionaire Trench Coxe, both major Democratic donors. In 2023, supported by Hillary Clinton, Bourgault launched a $10m IN fund at the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI). The IN page showing a picture of Bourgault at the CGI has also been deleted.

IN has at least six captive subsidiaries under unrelated names including one based out of the Cayman Islands. Since 2008, when electronic records begin, more than 95% of IN's budget has been supplied by the US government (thread follows)

Like they're using newspeak to replace popular and revolutionary:

" in lieu of concrete evidence linking Correa to any acts of corruption, the court resorted to sentencing Correa based on having “psychic and cognitive influence” and being able to “control others’ will"
