🇮🇷 NEW Lego Style Video from Iran Titled: Power Plant Day and Bridge Day Iran has a lego movie for every post Trump does now

You won't hear a better 55-second description of MAGA and Trump than this: in terms of the perspective of any minimally honest MAGA supporter:

Legendary drummer James Gadson R.I.P.

Ha ha..! Sen. Kaine: You get publicly drunk and abusive. Hegseth: Anonymous false charges. Sen. Kaine: We've seen names, including your mum's.

I have no idea who she is, but I’d sit in on her class any time. The sick question: ‘Does Israel even have the right to exist?’ Watch.

I don't think people understand the gravity of the situation as the UN is preparing for possible nuclear weapon use in Iran. This is a picture of Tehran. For you uneducated, untraveled, never-served, warhawks licking your chops at the thought of bombing it. It's not some low population desert. There are families, children, family pets. Regular working class people with dreams. You're sick to want war. Tehran is a city of nearly 10,000,000 people. Imagine nuking Washington, Berlin, Paris, London, or beyond, bombed with nuclear weapons. I gave up my diplomatic career to leak this information. I suspended my duties so as not to be part of or a witness to this crime against humanity, in an attempt to prevent a nuclear winter before it is too late. Yesterday, nearly ten million people protested “No Kings” in the United States. The possibility of the use of nuclear weapons must be taken very seriously. It's dangerous. Act now. Spread this message worldwide. Take the streets. Protest for our humanity and future. Only the people can stop it. History will remember us.

I can no longer hold my tongue seeing the utter lies being spread about Britain, our history of migration, and how this country was built into what it is today. For those so deeply buried in fake news, manufactured outrage and billionaire‑funded propaganda, I’m going to lay out the truth – and exactly why you’re being fed all this poison. Britain was never a sealed white island. From Roman times there were African soldiers stationed on Hadrian’s Wall and living in British towns, people from across the empire walking these roads nearly 2,000 years ago. Through the Middle Ages and Tudor England you still find Black people in the records – sailors, craftsmen, servants, musicians – even Black musicians at the royal court and Africans being baptised, marrying and being buried in English parishes like anyone else. This isn’t some modern experiment; it’s older than half the castles people visit on their bank‑holiday tours. As Britain went out into the world, the world came here. Sailors and traders from India, Yemen and beyond were arriving in British ports from the 1600s. Some of those men were practising a new faith to most Britons at the time, praying quietly in boarding houses near the docks while they worked brutal shifts in the engine rooms of British ships. Over the centuries, more people from North Africa, the Middle East and South Asia passed through and settled, bringing their languages, foods and beliefs into port cities that were far more mixed than today’s nostalgia merchants like to admit. After two world wars, the truth is simple: this country asked the Commonwealth to come and rebuild it. People from the Caribbean, Africa and South Asia didn’t sneak in; they were recruited. They came to drive buses and trains, staff the NHS, work in mills and foundries, clean offices, run corner shops, open takeaways and small businesses, and yes, build prayer spaces and community centres alongside churches and temples in the neighbourhoods everyone now pretends were always “traditional” and “unchanged”. They did the work that kept Britain going while being told to go home, refused housing, and treated as permanent outsiders. And what have they been paid back with? Scandals where people who’ve lived, worked and paid taxes here for decades get told they don’t belong. Policies designed to make life so hostile that some give up and leave. A media that uses their names, accents, clothes or places of worship as props in endless scare stories. The message is always the same: you might toil for this country, but you will never fully be of it. So when you hear that “Britain was white until recently” or that the country has been “overrun”, understand that you don’t arrive at that belief by accident. You get there because your history has been deliberately ripped out and replaced with a comforting myth: that “real” Britain is white, homogenous, and constantly under siege from people who look, speak or pray differently. Now look at when this myth has been turned up to max volume. Wages frozen. Housing a sick joke. Energy and food prices out of control. Public services hacked to pieces. At the same time, the number of people hoarding unimaginable wealth at the top has exploded. Funny, isn’t it, how every front page is about boats and “swarms” and “our culture”, and almost never about the landlords, hedge funds, private equity and offshore trusts quietly buying up your city and your future. That’s because this isn’t just prejudice; it’s a strategy. If you’re sitting on a mountain of wealth, the last thing you want is ordinary people – of every colour and background – realising they have the same problems and the same enemy. Much safer if the factory worker is furious at the new family down the road. Much safer if the person who can’t see a doctor blames the nurse with an accent instead of the minister who cut the funding. Much safer if a man who can’t afford his rent spends his rage on the woman in a headscarf at the bus stop instead of the billionaire who owns half his city. Racist rhetoric, religious dog‑whistling, all of it, exists to break solidarity. It turns neighbours into enemies and stops people seeing that Black, brown and white working‑class communities have far more in common with each other than any of them will ever have with the people flying in on private jets. It keeps you so busy policing skin colour, passports and prayer mats that you never get round to asking why your kids can’t afford a home, why your parents can’t get a hospital bed, why you’re working harder and standing still. The real story of Britain is this: a crossroads, not a fortress. Africans on Hadrian’s Wall. Black people in Tudor courts and city streets. Sailors, traders and workers from South Asia, the Middle East and beyond in the ports. Caribbean, African and Asian workers rebuilding the country after the war, staffing surgeries and hospitals, driving cabs, running shops, cooking food, teaching kids. Today’s multi‑ethnic, multi‑faith working class is not a glitch; it is Britain. It built this place and it keeps it running. If you’re genuinely angry about what’s happening to this country, good. You should be. But aim it where it belongs. Britain was never pure, never untouched, never “theirs” to take back. The people ruining your standard of living are not the ones risking their lives to get here, or the ones whose names you struggle to pronounce. They’re the ones buying politicians, owning media outlets, writing the story of this country so you never learn your own – and never realise who is standing beside you.

I can’t ….. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

You can talk about nukes and the "Mullahs" til the cows come home, but really what all of this boils down to is a bunch of white people sailing from the other side of the planet to steal resources & land. This is the "culture" of European settlers and has been for centuries.

Yup

hi. i am billionaire. for my entire adult life, i have rewired my brain to only seek to extract money. i am building a machine to destroy you and everything you love and turn it into money that i own. (American) : This is so cool. this is the coolest thing i have ever heard

“Why is it that these apparently liberal democracies in the West are such incredibly violent warmongers?”

There’s an old Soviet joke: A cowboy is riding for his life, Indians right behind him. He thinks, This is the end. Then a voice in his head says, Not yet. Shoot their chief. He fires from the saddle and drops him. Silence. Then the voice says: Now it’s the end.

The US bombing of schoolchildren in Iran is the biggest single US massacre of civilians since My Lai. The Israeli bombing of Tehran’s oil storage constitutes the biggest single act of chemical warfare against a civilian population in history. Grotesque new depths of barbarism.

From a purely political POV, Trump has already lost the war

For as long as I can remember, Labour has relied on left-of-centre voters, having nowhere else to go, no matter how far right Labour went. And now they have. That's game over time for Labour, and rightly so.

Excerpt from The Jakarta Method by Vincent Bevins (2020): “The fourth way that anticommunist extermination programs shaped the world is that they deformed the world socialist movement. Many of the global left-wing groups that did survive the twentieth century decided that they had to employ violence and jealously guard power or face annihilation. When they saw the mass murders taking place in these countries, it changed them. Maybe US citizens weren’t paying close attention to what happened in Guatemala, or Indonesia. But other leftists around the world definitely were watching. When the world’s largest Communist Party without an army or dictatorial control of a country was massacred, one by one, with no consequences for the murderers, many people around the world drew lessons from this, with serious consequences. This was another very difficult question I had to ask my interview subjects, especially the leftists from Southeast Asia and Latin America. When we would get to discussing the old debates between peaceful and armed revolution; between hardline Marxism and democratic socialism, I would ask: “Who was right?” In Guatemala, was it Árbenz or Che who had the right approach? Or in Indonesia, when Mao warned Aidit that the PKI should arm themselves, and they did not? In Chile, was it the young revolutionaries in the MIR who were right in those college debates, or the more disciplined, moderate Chilean Communist Party? Most of the people I spoke with who were politically involved back then believed fervently in a nonviolent approach, in gradual, peaceful, democratic change. They often had no love for the systems set up by people like Mao. But they knew that their side had lost the debate, because so many of their friends were dead. They often admitted, without hesitation or pleasure, that the hardliners had been right. Aidit’s unarmed party didn’t survive. Allende’s democratic socialism was not allowed, regardless of the détente between the Soviets and Washington. Looking at it this way, the major losers of the twentieth century were those who believed too sincerely in the existence a liberal international order, those who trusted too much in democracy, or too much in what the United States said it supported, rather than what it really supported—what the rich countries said, rather than what they did. That group was annihilated.”

The arrest of Mountbatten-Windsor doesn't show that "no one is above the law." It shows that those in power will only act against their own when the evidence is so overwhelming and so public that it is putting the system itself in jeopardy.

Rubio's speech was obviously imperialist and repulsive (and all global South states should take note, and plan deterrence accordingly). But it also shows he understands an important historical fact that most people do not grasp, and which the US has spent the past half century trying to erase and obscure. Namely, the anti-colonial movement, which was one of humanity's greatest moral and political achievements, was led in large part under the banner of socialism. Rubio referred to "anti-colonial uprisings that would transform the world and drape the red hammer and sickle across vast swaths of the map in the years to come." The hammer and sickle... the symbol of the workers and peasants - overwhelmingly in the global South - whose labour creates the world's wealth... The national liberation movements - and the masses of workers and peasants they mobilized and represented - understood that they needed to regain control over their resources and productive capacities, and organize them around human needs and development rather than around servicing capital accumulation in the core. Socialist ideas provided a method for achieving this, and with remarkable results. It is crucial to understand that socialism gained *enormous* global prestige with the success of the anti-colonial revolutions. And this prestige was further cemented when the socialist countries (mainly the USSR and China) played a decisive role in defeating fascism, which was spawned within and promoted by the capitalist core and inflicted brutal violence not only within Europe but much more extensively in the colonized territories. Socialism was so popular at the time that the US, as the rising imperial power seeking to consolidate hegemony, tried (falsely) to paint itself as a champion of anti-colonialism and anti-fascism. Of course, this was a lie: the US was created through violent colonization, complete with fascist ideology (which they leveraged to justify ethnic cleansing, genocide, mass enslavement and apartheid). The fact that the US represented itself this way - through an aggressive propaganda strategy - is testament to the popularity and prestige that socialism held. Rubio is now dispensing with the propaganda, and in the process reveals the reality... that the West is doubling down on imperialism, once again with openly fascist ideology, and they recognize the only real force that has ever held them in check: socialist and anti-colonial movements.
