The US is attacking Iran during the funeral processions of those murdered by the US - because of course.

It’s almost as if they wanted to give Khamenei a final farewell gift of reminding Iranians that he was right to say: never, ever trust the United States of America.

WHAT THE FUCK!?!!?

You’re not gonna believe this,

It’s the same bird again. 3 years in a row.

[Khartoum Aid Kitchen @KhartoumKitchen]

For the past six months, Al Dilling has been the most heavily bombed city in Sudan, facing both artillery and drone strikes.

Most of this targeting has been inflicted on civilian neighbourhoods. To mitigate this suffering, we’ve been providing medical and other forms of humanitarian support to victims. If you would like to support our work, the link is in the reply. Thank you.

Today In Dystopia

Today in dystopia Americans are becoming increasingly outraged by the ubiquitousness of Flock’s AI-assisted surveillance cameras throughout US cities. Flock officers getting caught in lies and viral video footage of police abusing their access to the technology have contributed to the outcry, with public vandalism of the cameras taking place with increasing frequency in public spaces.

Today in dystopia the German government is moving to ban workers from calling in sick by phone in order to boost the economy by reducing the amount of sick leave being taken by corporate employees. New regulations would require a certified in-person doctor’s visit on the very first day of sick leave. They’re just coming right out and saying that the public exists to serve the corporations now.

Today in dystopia we’re starting to see videos of quadrupedal robots firing guns with accuracy and minimal recoil. I know we’ve been calling these things “robot dogs” this whole time, but it is a bit of a misnomer when we’ve known from the beginning they were only ever intended as an all-terrain carrying system for autonomous weapons to suppress revolutions.

Today in dystopia YouTube is warning British content creators that proposed UK laws will result in decreased visibility of their videos on the platform, as the new rules would require the amplification of authorized narrative managers like the BBC above independent voices who may not regurgitate the official narratives of the empire.

Today in dystopia the entire western power structure is aggressively pushing the agenda to restrict children’s access to online pornography and social media platforms, which sounds fine until you realize that these laws are unenforceable without massive expansions in the government’s ability to track the internet use of everyone regardless of age. A major age verification law recently passed a House vote in the United States, despite resistance from online rights advocates and watchdog groups.

Today in dystopia the EU has authorized the criminal prosecution of anyone who shares videos from RT online due to sanctions placed on Russia following the invasion of Ukraine. European private citizens can now wind up doing actual jail time if they share RT videos on their own personal website under this new development.

Today in dystopia the president of the European Parliament Roberta Metsola is deploying a rarely used procedure in an effort to force through a controversial authoritarian internet surveillance law called Chat Control which has already been voted down by EU lawmakers. Metsola even cut off the microphone of a German MEP who attempted to argue against the move. Critics of Chat Control say the proposed laws, though ostensibly designed to curb distribution of child sexual abuse material online, would lead to the indiscriminate scanning of virtually all types of electronic communications throughout Europe.

Today in dystopia Australian “eSafety commissioner” Julie Inman is saying she wants the authority to prevent favored users from receiving large numbers of angry comments on social media, formally requesting a “notification power” which would enable her to demand that social media platforms suspend accounts who are contributing to “an avalanche of online hate” for an Australian deemed worthy of protection. Australian government officials and other high-profile public figures frequently find themselves “ratioed” by hostile comments from Australians who disagree with them; Inman’s proposal would conveniently bring an end to this type of public square accountability.

Today in dystopia activists have constructed an open-sourced website called Israel Exposed — War Crimes Archive to house video footage of Israeli atrocities in Gaza, because they know there’s going to be an ongoing effort to permanently erase the footage from every corner of the internet.

Today in dystopia top Israeli ministers have been openly and explicitly admitting to the premeditated elimination of entire Shia villages in Lebanon, but the entire western political/media establishment refuses to call it ethnic cleansing. This is because western politicians are empire managers, and western news broadcasters are propagandists.

Today in dystopia the governments are getting more and more secretive while forcing the public to become more and more transparent as our rulers construct a panopticon of surveillance systems all around us and develop robot armies to murder us if we ever try to turn against them. They are doing this while rapidly eroding our freedom of speech and rapidly shrinking our ability to find unauthorized information online, and while continuing their murderous atrocities around the globe to ensure the continuation of their planetary domination.

The longer we wait for revolution, the more weapons they’ll have in place to stop us.

They also own Rogers Cable (and internet), Rogers Wireless, Fido, Chatr, CityTV, Omni TV, Sportsnet, most of CPAC, TSC, 62 radio stations, and most Canadian politicians.

[Rainbow Carin' 🍉 🌈 @DNArigged]

"But even as Foreign Minister Anita Anand acknowledged last August that “humanitarian suffering in Gaza has reached unimaginable levels”, with famine declared across the territory, Canada refused to take concrete action against Israel."

What the fuck is up with that @AnitaAnandMP?

"After Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, Canada responded with moral certainty.... Ottawa rapidly imposed sanctions, and within two months of the war breaking out, the House of Commons unanimously declared that Russia was committing genocide. "

Seriously, what the fuck is up with your hypocrisy, double standards and racism?

♦️The shroud crisis is worsening in Gaza. Authorities warn of a severe shortage that could leave them unable to bury the dead with dignity.

🧵Settler terrorist Daniel Peretz, from from Havat Anim outpost, is a perfect depiction of the two faces of Zionism: The advertised one - friendly and cheerful; and the real one, evil, violent and outright psychopathic.

Unbelievable

zionist jewish settlers, protected by IOF, harassing entire Palestinian family in the occupied West Bank..

Bragging about their crime as they recorded it and let the whole world watch it

[Carolyn Hinds 🇧🇧 #FreePalestine #CongoInCrisis @CarrieCnh12]

They're so evil!
Cuba's power grid shut down today because there's no fuel due to the illegal US sanctions and blockade stopping oil tankers from reaching the island. The Trump administration is actively killing Cubans using this fuel blockade like Israel is doing to Gaza.

[gathy @k_jos]

@Charlie12635375 @canucker9 @stphnmaher People yell at you to get out of the country?

[olivetree @not4selfbut4all]

Fuck the United States. 11 million people without electricity in an El Niño summer. This is beyond evil.
End the sanctions. End the embargo.

[Matthew Sloly @MatthewSloly]

Yet PM @MarkJCarney and the @liberal_party are hell bent on selling out Canada's technology sovereignty by installing #Palantir into Canada's state apparatus while distracting Canadians with fake Canadiana nationalism.

[Tara @taraisredacted]

Just in from @AdvocatesJust, 1 hour ago:

The Canadian Revenue Agency has moved to revoke the status of the charitable wing of HonestReporting Canada, the billionaire-backed anti-Palestinian lobby group that bills itself as a “digital army for Israel.” [I added some of their donors below via @AdvocatesJust]

After a lengthy audit, the CRA concluded that the HR Canada Charitable Organization (HRCCO) is not carrying out any charitable activities and is acting as a “conduit” for HonestReporting Canada, which is not itself a registered charity.

…In response, HRCCO has launched two legal challenges to block the revocation. (Unsurprising.)

This morning, Israeli occupation forces invaded our village of Madama in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, uprooting fig, olive, & almond trees and cacti, searching and damaging homes, and detaining over 50 Palestinian boys and men. Abolish Zionism. Boycott Caterpillar.
