It is important to resist the commodification of basic human needs. Food, water and healthcare cannot be subordinated to market considerations or geopolitical interests. Access to adequate food is a fundamental human right grounded in the dignity of every person. Meeting this need not only alleviates suffering but also addresses underlying causes of geopolitical instability. Indeed, food security is an essential component of global and integral security. https://t.co/DgkM9RegJ7
Streamer and commentator Hasan Piker said that “if” Palestinian fighters carried out rapes and sexual violence on October 7, it does not justify genocide against 2 million Palestinians in Gaza. CNN’s Dana Bash finds his remarks deeply objectionable.
No major human rights organization — including Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, or the UN Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory — has published findings confirming a single verified rape case from October 7.
The narrative was nonetheless amplified aggressively by Western media. CNN played a central role, broadcasting accounts that were later found to be unsubstantiated or fabricated, helping construct the justification framework for what human rights experts, including UN investigators, have called a genocide in Gaza.
The pattern employed by Bash has deep colonial roots. Allegations of sexual violence have repeatedly been weaponized to justify collective punishment, lynchings, and mass killing—from the U.S., where false claims were used to legitimize the lynching of Black men, to colonial contexts like Kenya under British rule and apartheid South Africa, where such accusations helped rationalize brutal repression against dehumanized populations seeking freedom and equal rights.
TODOS los que pudieron hacer algo y no hicieron nada para evitar que una institución importantísima y única para Guatemala cayera nuevamente en manos de delincuentes, son responsables de que estudiantes no puedan regresar a su casa de estudios; de que personas que ni siquiera fuimos estudiantes estemos vetadas de entrar a una institución pública; y de que la educación pública en Guatemala siga siendo mediocre.
Recuerden que INVENTARON casos espurios para manchar nuestro nombre, nos secuestraron de nuestros hogares y, si por ellos fuera, seguiríamos en la cárcel pagando por crímenes que NO cometimos.
Que tristeza la USAC, no puede ser que después de tanto esfuerzo, no podamos hacer nada.
No puede ser que hasta este gobierno, disque democrático, esté respaldando el robo de la única universidad pública.
Duele muchísimo, pero estamos solos; no les importa la USAC.

"In Havana I saw the shadow of Washington's deliberate policy of collective punishment.
The horror of patients surviving on hand-pump ventilators, sweating through darkness with no electricity."
western imperialism doesn’t serve the people it subjugates & destroys, it doesn’t benefit the people carrying out the violence and it’s doesn’t benefit the people living in the imperial core. it only benefits capital. it’s time to do away with empire & focus on ourselves
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.”
¿Un reo sale diciendo que no le gusta como Arévalo lo trata?
Entonces los extorsionadores, los ladrones, los violadores, los asesinos y los corruptos están inconformes con las medidas que Arévalo ha tomado en las cárceles.
Gran propaganda vinieron a hacerle.
Más mulas, que malos.
👀 Hace 3 horas, Torres pidió a Arévalo decretar un estado de excepción por la crisis de seguridad.
Usuarios añadieron una nota de comunidad recordando que su sobrina está presa y es pareja de un líder pandillero (Barrio 18).
Torres borró el tuit y acaba de publicar otro igual.
I am saddened to learn of the passing of former Emperor Sheev Palpatine.
Emperor Palpatine was a devoted public servant, from the halls of the Imperial Senate to many positions of leadership in multiple Imperial administrations. His passing marks the loss of a figure who, with a strong sense of dedication, gave so much of his life to the Empire he loved.
BREAKING:
Israel is bombing Doha right now.
In the past 24 hours alone, Israel has bombed:
• Palestine 🇵🇸
• Lebanon 🇱🇧
• Syria 🇸🇾
• Tunisia 🇹🇳

And just days ago, Yemen 🇾🇪.
This is not the behavior of a “victim.”
This is terrorism.
BREAKING:

Read that again.
Israel attacked a boat, with civilians on it, in Tunis.
A blatant war crime.
All passengers are reported safe.
