MSNBC Reporter: "Would you be willing to step down to save the people of Cuba?" Cuba President: "Is that question from you or is it coming from the US State Department?"

One of the final handwritten notes by Iran's martyr Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi reads: “The world is a bad place, because even if you gain it all, you gain nothing. But this is also the beauty of the world: even if you lose it all, you have lost nothing.”

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.

FYI it's not just important that someone lit a warehouse in fire in a politically motivated attack against their boss as a target of class conflict, it's that the public response seems to be overwhelmingly positive. People support attacking monopoly capitalists outright

Gonna bite the bullet & read de Tocqueville’s Democracy in America just to be a part of Mohammad Khatami’s imagined majority of Americans who’ve read it.

I love that at the start of his speech, he immediately called out the audience and basically said they’re all stupid

A nação mais cabaço do planeta. O povo mais castrado. O país dos antolhos. Arma nas mãos de estadunidense é válvula de escape para tensão social, não uma ferramenta que mantém o governo agindo em prol da população

If the United States is at war, then Pete Hegseth is a war criminal. If the United States is not at war, then Pete Hegseth is a murderer. What Pete Hegseth ordered the military to do violates international law. Double tap strike on the B1 bridge in Iran while the rescue team were on-site is succession to target first responders assisting victims of the initial attack. Under the Geneva Conventions, you are obligated to rescue victims of the first attack. Abandoned any survivors and bombing them along with rescue teams is illegal, immoral, and a war crime.

Oh my gosh they're literally doing it

In the past 30 days, Idris Robinson, a philosopher at Texas State University, Shirin Saeidi, a political scientist at the University of Arkansas, and Aris Fani, a scholar of Persian Studies at the University of Washington, have all been fired for speaking about the wars.

The problem is that people love slop. This is then justified through a populist suspicion of the hierarchical distinction of taste. But the solution lies not in creating an elite consumptive class but in the radical notion that people can be learn to unlove slop.
