Jews playing football during the German Holocaust.

What shame you haven't inherited their dignity, resilience and pride.

Once upon a time news like this used to instill anger among people. Now doing namaaz on roads has replaced it

For Indian men's rights activists, all men are working class, and all women (feminists) are upper class.

They readily appropriate the struggle and suffering of working class men and pretend working class women don't exist.

When monsters guard the gate, truth is denied entry.

Hind Rajab was 5. She was trapped in a car in Gaza with her dead family, she spent her final hours pleading with paramedics on the phone.

An Israeli tank fired hundreds of rounds – killing her, and the rescuers sent to save her.

This is what Narendra Modi is trying to shield - a horror so stark that it stirs the nation's conscience and demands a moral response.

Why – is it fear, complicity, or moral collapse?

This country has collectively lost it. There is no coming back from this level of retartedness, victimhood, and bigotry. Pagal ho gaye ho tum sab.

BREAKING

Spain’s MEP Irene Montero:

“No woman has ever been freed by American bombs or illegal aggression.

Not in Syria. Not in Iraq. Not in Lebanon. Not in Afghanistan.

And it will not happen in Iran either.

They hide behind women’s rights to justify their colonial wars.”

[Sandeep Manudhane @sandeep_PT]

India invited this Iranian naval ship for an exercise. It departed after completing it, and was sunk by an American submarine near Sri Lanka, killing most. SL urgently rescued as many as it could.

(read the tweet carefully | no official reaction till now from India after sinking)

This is just one trick media use to manufacture consent for war.

[S.R.Praveen @myopiclenses]

In our journalism classes, NYT, BBC et al used to be held up as the gold standard in journalism. Over the years, many of us have unlearned that lesson, after going through their coverage of everything from the Vietnam war to the Iraq war. Even then, the manner in which they shamelessly exposed themselves during Israel's genocide in Gaza came as a surprise. At this point, they don't even seem to care as to what a vast population in the global south thinks of their coverage filled with lies and obfuscations. They are just happy to cater to zionist extremists and white terrorists who run the two rogue nations.

[Sakshi Narula @mssakshinarula]

Like I said yesterday...something really sinister and evil has taken over the hearts and minds of people of this country. They read news like this every day and are not on the streets protesting. They are consuming toxic food, water, air, getting k1lled because of reckless drivers or poor infrastructure and no one protests and demands justice. Worse they celebrate the man and the regime that is entirelyresponsible for this lawlessness. It's over. The country, the people. Sorry I am not very optimistic this morning.

[Joy @Joydas]

The Kerala, Beef, Pork tweets reminds me. There was a beef fest organised in Kerala in 2015. That angered some Hindu Organisations and they organised Pork fest. They expected protests but no one opposed or cared. Then came fun part. Those who organised didn’t want to eat pork.

[The Outsider 🦋🇰🇷 @KimDaMi007]

It’s not Kerala, so it’s not an issue

MADHYA PRADESH story 🥲🥲.

"Women have no safety here, yet some people are busy chasing those in Kerala who eat beef.

Before Fidel, Cuba was not some balanced, diversified "free market" farm paradise.

It was a U.S. sugar monoculture with land concentrated in latifundia, serving one buyer, in one currency, for one purpose.

Sugar for the empire.

Tourism for the empire.

Mafias, casinos, and brothels for the empire.

That was your "economic fundamentals."

When you turn a country into a plantation, it will import a lot of its food.

Because the best land is reserved for export crops that serve foreign profit, not local nutrition.

The revolution inherited that structure.

Cuba did not start from "normal economy" and then ruin it with Marxism.

It started from a gangster client state, where Washington and a tiny local elite owned the soil.

What did Fidel do?

He broke the plantations.

He redistributed land.

He sent literacy brigades into the countryside.

He turned a semi-feudal island into a society where peasants could become doctors, engineers, and teachers.

Then the United States answered that audacity with:

Bay of Pigs.

Economic embargo.

Terror campaigns.

Permanent attempts to isolate and starve the island.

You act as if the USSR "feeding" Cuba was proof of Fidel’s incompetence.

In reality, it was the only major power willing to trade with a country Washington was trying to strangle.

Cuba sent sugar, citrus, nickel, and workers.

The USSR sent oil, machinery, grain, and yes, food.

That is called trade and specialization.

Japan, the Gulf monarchies, Singapore, South Korea, many European states import large portions of their food.

Nobody calls that a failure of "economic fundamentals."

They call it comparative advantage.

It only becomes "proof of incompetence" when a socialist country does it under siege.

You say, "In the end, this folklore hero achieved nada."

Nothing?

He took a U.S. playground of casinos and child prostitution and turned it into a country with:

Universal literacy.

Life expectancy comparable to rich countries.

Infant mortality rates lower than many U.S. cities.

One of the highest doctor-per-capita ratios in the world.

Medical brigades that went to Africa, Latin America, even to Western countries during crises.

Under embargo.

Under permanent sabotage.

Ninety miles from a state that spends more on its military than most of the planet combined.

If that is "nada," what do you call a superpower that spends trillions on war and still has people rationing insulin, drowning in student debt, and sleeping under bridges?

You reduce six decades of resistance to a meme about "importing two-thirds of its food."

I look at the same history and see this:

A small island that refused to be a plantation.

A people who were told, "Surrender and we will feed you properly."

A leadership that answered, "We would rather be poor with a spine than rich on our knees."

You want to score a cheap point about Fidel’s "folklore."

But the real folklore is the story you are selling:

That a country under embargo, sabotage, terror, and economic siege should be judged by the same metrics as the empire that besieged it, and if it is not equally rich, the problem must be "communist incompetence."

Cuba’s real "crime" was not bad economics.

Its crime was proving that a small, Black and brown island could kick the United States out and still refuse to crawl back for forgiveness.

That is why people like you need to keep repeating that it "achieved nothing."

Because if you ever admitted what it actually achieved under those conditions, you would have to ask a much more uncomfortable question:

What would Cuba have become without the boot on its neck?

A propaganda film wrongly accuses Malayalis of force-feeding beef.

Malayalis protest by posting beef pictures.

Usual suspects: “wHy aRe mUsLiMs nOt eAtInG pOrK?” 🤡

Bigotry x Dumbness is such a lethal combination.

[Alex @ageorgeverghese]

Kerala is the state where most number of violence and atrocities against women get reported. Our covid numbers were over the roof because people were responsible enough to get tested. How come I’ve not heard one single case where this beef force feeding took place? Utter lies by state funded movies. Nothing else

[Aravind Varier @VarierAravind]

I have more in common with Malayali Muslims and Malayali Christians than with North Indian Hindus.

For example, I feel more culturally comfortable watching a Malayalam movie in a theatre in the UAE with a Malayali Muslim or a Malayali Christian than with a North Indian Hindu.

[MohammadFCB 🇵🇸 #AraujoOut @Cult_0f_P3rsona]

People who never experienced what it's like living among these zombies will never understand why they didn't fight back. Even the slightest resistance from their side can lead to their homes being demolished.
Sad state of affairs

[El Necio @ElNecio_Cuba]

Hi! I'm in Cuba. Nobody reads the crap Camila Cabello writes because she's not influential as an artist in her own country. This is all just social media hype: it serves to justify the pressure on Cuba among US citizens and in Miami. Not among my people. I repeat: she has no influence here. That's the truth. By the way, she didn't mention Trump's oil embargo or blockade even once. She's complicit in the human damage a foreign power—the US government—causes against its own country and its own people.

[ana⚢ @misandristxnjz]

there’s nothing more ridiculous than the belief that false rape accusations are a major systemic issue. women face more consequences for accusing men of rape (with proof) than men face for raping women.
