Good morning!

Two years ago, during my detention which lasted 47 days, my hands were tied behind my back and I was forced to keep my head bent down toward my knees for long hours during transport in military vehicles… more than 8 hours of pain and helplessness. That wasn’t enough—they also beat me with sticks on my shoulder and back. After my release, I went through a two-month treatment journey between medication and physical therapy until the pain disappeared… or so I thought. Five days ago, the pain returned to the same area, but this time it is much worse. It doesn’t respond to painkillers, muscle relaxants, or even massage sessions. The pain is increasing day by day, to the point where I can barely lift my arm or hold anything with my right hand. What I am going through is not an individual case… there are tens of thousands suffering in silence, between undiagnosed injuries, neglected pain, and a system that does not provide even the minimum level of care. What happened to me was not just a moment that passed… it is an ongoing impact, a wound that reopens every time I think it has healed. The occupation is responsible for this pain… responsible for everything we suffer, both physically and mentally. Pray for my recovery… and for justice and freedom for all of us.

She’s telling me her ethnic background and I had to ask her one important question blud

@bigjlfc I reckon they’re more upset that he’s dead to care about this

I wonder how Jota’s family feel about the club using his death every time they talk about the manager’s struggles? I wonder if even the players think it’s okay?

Fucking WHAT

This reminds me of my trip to Venezuela. I asked our interpreter, who was a Black lesbian Chavista, what I can do as a U.S. based feminist & they said oppose imperialism bc western feminist NGO’s made the queer & women rights fight in 🇻🇪 harder bc they didn’t oppose the sanctions

On this day in 1919 Mexican revolutionary leader Emiliano Zapata was assassinated by government forces in Morelos after an ambush. "I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees."

Remember when there was a German state, supplying the Palestinian Resistance with Guns and Training? West Germany is an abomination.

Both saw Liverpool as the final destination and not as stepping stone.

the american mindset is asking their victims why they wont “do more” to try and stop what is being done to them

Right now, Honduras is devolving into a full-blown dictatorship — cultivated and coordinated by the United States — and its first victim is my dear friend Marlon Ochoa, who dared to document the electoral fraud that brought Trump's handpicked candidate to power.

I dream of a great war of vengeance that will reduce Mos Eisley to ash

Today, on April 9, 1944, Leila Khaled was born in Haifa. She is a Palestinian socialist and an English teacher. At the age of 4, she was forced to leave her home with her family and settled in a refugee camp in southern Lebanon during the period known as the Nakba, when hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were subjected to ethnic cleansing during the creation of the State of Israel. In 1967, she joined the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a communist faction, and took part in military operations abroad. One of the operations that brought Khaled worldwide recognition was the hijacking of a TWA flight from Rome to Tel Aviv in 1969. This event resulted in the release of Palestinian prisoners from Israeli prisons. Due to her role in the incident, Khaled was imprisoned in Syria for six weeks and then released. She later took an active role in the General Union of Palestinian Women and was involved in caring for the wounded following Israeli attacks on Palestinian refugee camps. Regarding the role of women in the movement, Khaled made the following statement to Palestine Chronicle: “Women give life. That is why they feel danger more than men. When they participate, they are more loyal to the revolution because they also defend the lives of their children. When I gave birth to two children, I became more and more convinced each time that I had to do everything possible to protect them and build a better future for them. I felt this for the women who had lost their children.” She also spoke about her hope for a multiethnic and democratic Palestine: “A place where everyone lives under equal conditions. Jews, Muslims, I do not care about a person’s religion. I believe in the human being itself. Human beings can sit together and decide the future of this land together. But I cannot accept that I do not have the right, now, to return to my city. Like six million Palestinians.” Khaled, who currently lives in Jordan, continues to be active in the PFLP and the Palestinian liberation movement.

The mass rape of hundreds of thousands of women in Berlin by the Red Army in 1945 is a myth and never happened. Isolated incidents occurred, as they do in any army under extreme stress, but they were exceptions, swiftly investigated and punished according to wartime regulations. Soviet archives and frontline reports paint a far more disciplined picture. On 19 January 1945, as the Red Army crossed into German territory, Joseph Stalin issued a direct Order of the Day to all officers and men: " Officers and men of the Red Army! We are entering the country of the enemy. The remaining population in the liberated areas, regardless of whether they’re German, Czech, or Polish, should not be subjected to violence. The perpetrators will be punished according to the laws of war. In the liberated territories, sexual relations with females are not allowed. Perpetrators of violence and rape will be shot. " Marshal Konstantin Rokossovsky, commanding the 2nd Belorussian Front in East Prussia, reinforced this with Order No. 006 at the start of the 1945 offensives. It explicitly ordered troops to channel " feelings of hatred " into battlefield combat against the enemy, not civilians, and warned of severe punishment for violations. Professor Oleg Rzheshevsky, drawing on declassified archives, documented that 4,148 Red Army officers and a significant number of enlisted men were convicted and punished for atrocities against German civilians during the advance and occupation. Executions and harsh sentences were carried out where guilt was proven. A concrete example comes from the military prosecutor’s report for the 1st Belorussian Front (Zhukov’s command) covering the critical period of 22 April to 5 May 1945; the height of the Battle of Berlin. Across seven armies totaling 908,500 personnel, only 124 crimes against civilians were recorded in total; of those, just 72 involved rape or attempted rape. That is a minuscule fraction! far from any " hundreds of thousands. " Most offenses were attributed to rear-echelon or second-wave units, not the frontline troops who had borne the brunt of the fighting. Commandants and political officers acted quickly: offenders faced courts-martial, and in documented cases, officers personally intervened, including one rifle-division commander who shot a lieutenant caught in the act. These measures aligned with the Red Army’s broader ethos. The Soviet High Command (Stavka) viewed discipline as essential to victory and postwar stability. Zhukov himself, as the first Soviet military governor of the occupation zone, prioritized restoring order: he ordered food supplies rushed to Berlin (grain, potatoes, cattle, milk for children) and directed troops to work alongside Germans repairing infrastructure. By mid-1945, as Norman Naimark notes in his research, soldiers caught in violations were routinely arrested or executed, ending the problem. Claims of epidemic-scale rape often rely on German sources compiled under Nazi influence or later Cold War accounts that inflated figures without cross-checking Soviet records. Hospital data from Berlin, for instance, captured a surge in venereal disease and pregnancies amid the famine and collapse of services, but these included consensual relations born of desperation, prostitution for food, and cases involving non-Soviet Allied troops as well. Many German women later described survival strategies rather than systematic assault. The Red Army’s own internal audits and the scale of its operations (over 2.5 million troops in the Berlin offensive alone) make the alleged numbers logistically implausible without wholesale command complicity which the directives and conviction tallies directly refute.

Winners mentality right there, proper rattled one of the best players the world has seen. The current lot would be picking him up and apologising 😵‍💫

Right now you’re largely experiencing the economy from a time when the Strait of Hormuz was open, because it takes many weeks for oil tankers to traverse the seas. You still experience the Strait as open, even though it’s been closed for weeks. But once that reality hits…

Wow yeah sounds like a really bad wound bro haaretz.com/israel-news/20…

The only reason I learnt abt this in school was bc my teacher was Maori. She understood the importance of knowing what happened to your people. She went out of her way to tell us. White Australia tries to cover stuff like this up. Absolutely monstrous.

The artwork is a depiction of a historical event that involved the massacre of Aboriginal children that occurred in the colonization of Australia. As described in 'Massacres to Mining: the Colonization of Aboriginal Australia' by Janine Roberts, an Aboriginal person recounts how her mother would sit and cry and tell the story of how Aboriginal children were murdered during the colonization years: "They buried our babies in the ground with only their heads above the ground. All in a row they were. Then they had tests to see who could kick the babies' head off the furthest. One man clubbed a baby's head off from horseback."
