"Der Begriff der „#Rasse“ hat nichts mit biologischen Fakten zu tun, sondern ist ein kulturelles Konstrukt. Es stabilisiert weiße Überlegenheitsideologie, indem es die Existenz eines „Anderen“, „Fremden“ und „Minderwertigen“ behauptet." Stuart Hall https://t.co/HNUiQl9vdA

Everything bad ever to happen to Native Americans in the US is all rooted in land theft by White people because you cant have a “great country” without land and infinite resources. This is an ongoing injustice because Indigenous people are still here and still behind due to this!

On Christmas Day in 1837, an elite force of Seminole warriors were outnumbered by almost 600 US soldiers and still fought to victory during a battle in the US War on the Seminole people. Incredible testament to their skill and determination to resist oppression!

The most brutal part is not that China is using AI to sort garbage.
It is that China has pushed waste management so far that the old problem has reversed.

China used to worry about having too much garbage to process.
Now some waste-to-energy plants are facing the opposite problem:

not enough garbage.

Previously sealed landfills may even have to be reopened, not because China failed, but because waste has become fuel, feedstock, data, and part of an industrial recycling loop.

This is what China does best.

It takes the ugliest, dirtiest, most ignored corner of urban life — garbage — and turns it into engineering, automation, energy recovery, environmental governance, and industrial optimization.

Even trash gets absorbed into the machine.

In many countries, garbage is where governance collapses.

In China, even garbage becomes a system.

There you have it. Anthropic's CEO said it: The murder of more than 100 schoolgirls in Minab targeted by Anthropic's CLAUDE "is a use case that doesn't even violate our red lines." Time to rise up against these technofeudal war criminals.

The Philippines faces an existential threat.

No, not "Chinese expansionism in the South CHINA Sea," but the fact the Philippines is LITERALLY OCCUPIED by US troops who are forcing the country to divert national resources from development to proxy war - into turning the Philippines into the "Ukraine" of Southeast Asia against China, the Philippines' largest trading partner.

If the people of the Philippines do not reverse US occupation and oust the US client regime in power now - they will suffer a fate at least as bad as Ukraine.

They are already suffering decades-spanning poverty because of their status as a proxy serving US interests at the expense of the Philippines' actual interests.

This is one the Philippines' Independence Day - guess who they gained independence from?

The US - they were literally an outright colony of the US - when they first fought for independence against US occupation and control, the US instituted concentration camps and systematic torture - this according to the US State Department's OWN account:

"The war was brutal on both sides. U.S. forces at times burned villages, implemented civilian reconcentration policies, and employed torture on suspected guerrillas..."

💥Anti-Netanyahu demonstrations all over the country. In Jerusalem, police illegally disconnect, then confiscate, protesters' sound equipment at a rally in front of the Prime Minister's Residence.

Trumpian censorship in the UK

Teacher, librarians under pressure to remove books on race, identity, social justice from libraries.

200 titles pulled from one Greater Manchester school library, including books by Black authors.

What are we becoming?

Israel says it won’t leave Lebanon, Syria, or Palestine.

A genocidal, expansionist state can openly declare the intent to occupy three nations without generating a single headline in Western media.

BREAKING: An Economics Professor Just Made A Pretty Stunning Argument About Elon Musk.

According to the professor, Musk spent roughly $250 million during the 2024 election cycle.

He claims that's just 0.025% of Musk's wealth.

In other words, the amount spent was so small relative to Musk's fortune that he could theoretically spend the same amount thousands of times over.

That's a democracy question, not just a money question.

The Trump family are the biggest grifters.

[Reuters @Reuters]

The $TRUMP meme coin generated about $616 million for the Trump family, while buyers lost more than $700 million, according to Reuters' estimates. The coin has tumbled 97% from its January 2025 peak https://t.co/D6RjrGkMnV @specialreports

Elon’s secret formula to becoming a trillionaire:

1. Become a corporate welfare queen and take billions from the government.

2. Exploit the labor of the working class and exploit child labor in Africa.

3. Change IPO rules so index funds with Americans’ 401Ks buy SpaceX shares.

Only a mad person would ever describe a weapon as "beautiful". If used for liberation a weapon might be described as a necessary evil but never as something beautiful. Never!

💥Who'll tell Trump Iran has always said it doesn't want a nuclear weapon?
For Netanyahu, it's a political Saturday Night Massacre. His hands are tied. No victory in Lebanon, but a submissive withdrawal. No total victory in Gaza. No annihilation of the Iranian régime. No pardon.

They say “Israel tells residents to leave” because FORCED DISPLACEMENT is a war crime. This is how they launder it.

On this day in 1954, the US backed a coup against Jacobo Árbenz, the progressive, democratically elected leader of Guatemala, because he sought to restore land to small farmers and Indigenous communities that had been dispossessed by US fruit companies.

“The notion of patriotism must be understood in a class context—one can be patriotic in defense of a capitalist state or... a workers’ state. These are two different things, for when a worker is patriotic in a capitalist state he is just serving his own oppressor.” Walter Rodney

FIFA has often insisted that football tournament hosts should make all teams feel welcome.

But discrimination against fans from countries like Senegal shows that the US government simply isn’t subject to the same rules. https://t.co/6Y3LFg28Cs
