#MLKGlobal

#MLKGlobal marks 50 years since the assassination of MLK in 1968. It renews Dr. King’s call for an end to economic exploitation, racism and militarism.

It’s telling that the US is willing to pay an estimated $891.4 million dollars PER DAY in ongoing attack on Iran, but refuses to shelter Americans, or provide them with free healthcare & education.

This is not just a war against Iran, it’s a clear declaration of war against Americans.

The US administration is and has been denying Americans right to political engagement and clamping down on dissent to appease and benefit warlords & death cults.

Emphasizing what we all already knew, Pentagon made it very clear that there was no sign Iran was going to strike first.

The US is conducting a mass slaughter with Israel in Iran, Lebanon, and Palestine and using Iran as a scapegoat.

The US cannot claim to be supporting Iranians for freedom when Trump sent armed forces against Americans, greenlighted their murder, put children in cages, mass imprisoned American men because of their race— and continues to oppress the Indigenous people of America.

It’s really twisted times we are witnessing.

in the capitalist world today, 1 person dies of acute hunger every 4 seconds despite humanity producing enough food to feed 10 billion people.

I don't think I'm overselling it to say the US could easily create a famine in Cuba. No fuel means failed harvests.

This isn't like denying them the "luxury" of US goods, it is a Crime Against Humanity.

The aid programs Elon cut are expected to cause 9 million deaths by 2030 and have already caused 780,000. They cost about $20 billion a year.

It is no secret that Jews and Palestinians lived together in harmony for hundreds of years.

We were not enemies, we lived side by side, often as friends.

Peace begins by clearly separating Judaism from Zionism and by challenging the false claim that the State of Israel represents the Jews.

This timeless testimony offers a glimpse into Jewish–Palestinian coexistence in the early 1900s.

It is a personal account by Rabbi Boruch Kaplan, later Dean of the Bais Yaakov school system, the largest network of Orthodox Jewish schools in the world.

What Bezos saved by killing the Post is less than 0.05% of his net worth. It’s literally not even pennies. This is a visceral demonstration of the failure of capitalism and how little you’re worth to these psychopaths. They want you to have nothing. And they’re succeeding

10% of Americans control almost all of the money in our country, leaving the rest of us looking for crumbs in their carpet.

Who wants a new system?

[Dr. Abdul El-Sayed @AbdulElSayed]

Tell me, how do you “reform” this? What kind of “accountability” do you set on people who want to cosplay the SS?

There is a kind of soul-level corruption that can’t be retrained or reprogrammed. It has to be rethought entirely.

Abolish ICE. Start from scratch.

America wasn’t “discovered.” America was INVADED.

Agree with me and I’ll be your friend for life. 🪶

The only thing Columbus discovered in 1492 was personal hygiene when a Native American named Guacanagari went on one of his dirty ships for dinner and showed him and the medieval Spaniards how to wash their hands when handling food using friction and herbs. Who were the savages?

Bombing Venezuela while coordinating a genocide in Palestine while threatening to attack Iran (again) while destabillizing Somalia while carrying out a heist in the DRC...

US imperialism is the greatest threat to peace and security in our world today and it's not even close.

If poor White people stopped being racist, they could work with poor Black people and end the problem of poverty by using our collective power.

Economist Thomas Piketty says people are getting 'disgusted' with wealth inequality and governments need to overcome their fears to adopt a wealth tax.

Piketty spoke to Channel 4 News Economics Correspondent Helia Ebrahimi ahead of the release of the World Inequality Report, which he helped coordinate.

The average salary for Gen Z is $39,416.

The average living wage salary for an individual with no kids is $48,000.

The average salary to live comfortably is $106,000.

Gen Z isn’t the problem.
Low wages and corporate greed are.

[Jonathan Cook @Jonathan_K_Cook]

Genocide has been rebranded as "ceasefire".

Israel still bars foreign journalists from Gaza. Israel still murders the enclave's children, and destroys the few remaining buildings.

But now everyone – most of all the western media – can pretend there's nothing to see.

The share of the population living in extreme poverty is now higher in the United States than in China.

[Cory Archibald @CMArchibald]

LMFAO. For years Boomers have lectured young people to "stop buying fancy coffee and learn how to save". Now they're being accused of "hoarding" devices for not buying a new $1500 phone every 18 months and "costing the economy" by dining in and living at home. Incredible stuff.
