PLANS are underway to establish an I SRAELI CULTURAL CENTER, known as a Chabad House, in Siargao, MINDANAO! Maria Tokong, a young woman native to Siargao, conveys significant disquiet and a carefully articulated opposition to this development. 1

Historian Robert Dale researched the claim that the Soviets carried out mass deportations of disabled veterans in 1947 and concluded that there was no evidence to suggest a targeted campaign of this nature ever occurred. One of many popular Soviet history myths accepted as fact because people tend to have a very low threshold of evidence when it comes to believing things about the USSR that validate their pre-existing biases. Of course, the myth reflected real anxieties and disappointment at the social stigma and low-quality of institutional support the USSR provided its disabled veterans. But it's really not demonstrative of a uniquely communist authoritarianism/incompetence given that the post-war reintegration of the disabled proved to be a massive failure across the board, generally. The Soviets uneven universal pension structure was still superior to the paltry and fragmented support the US provided its disabled citizens. Nevermind the fact that by the 1930s over 30 U.S states had active compulsory sterilization laws targeting disabled people. It’s worth noting that the Soviets never embraced this kind of genocidal-eugenic attitude towards the disabled

The US is plotting to kidnap Evo Morales and massacre his indigenous defenders after the US-backed Bolivian neoliberal regime issued a baseless arrest warrant for Morales. This week it's also been reported that the US is preparing to indict former Cuban President Raúl Castro.

“Sanctions are ceasing to function as an effective instrument of coercion, particularly against large, strong, cohesive states that fiercely guard their independence... China’s Blocking Rules represent the institutionalisation of an emerging resistance — the construction of a legal counter-architecture that makes US extraterritorial jurisdiction costly to enforce, and gives third parties a concrete reason to resist US pressure. “This has an important impact beyond the borders of the People’s Republic, as it signals that Beijing will not be bound by the US’s illegal, unilateral secondary sanctions. The era in which Washington could simply decree who the world could and could not trade with, and expect compliance, is ending.” My latest. morningstaronline.co.uk/article/china-…

🔴 New Investigation: From CubaNet to ADN Cuba, some of the most widely cited “independent” Cuban media outlets in Western Corporate media are quietly funded by USAID, the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and Open Society Foundation as part of a decades-long campaign to destabilize Cuba’s society by blaming all economic issues on socialism rather than on the US blockade in a push for regime change.

BREAKING: China has explicitly informed the US that it recognizes Iran's "exercise of sovereignty" over the Strait of Hormuz, contradicting the White House readout of the Trump-Xi summit that claimed Xi opposed Iranian "militarization" of the Strait and any "toll" for its use, per a source close to Iranian Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf. More than 10 Chinese ships have successfully transited under Iran's Persian Gulf Strait Authority permit system in the past two days.

About the people on streets in Iran, I told @PLCROSSTALK of @RT_com that I reject the binary of "pro-regime" vs. "anti-regime". What we are witnessing is more complex. The overwhelming majority of those who gather every night are the working class of Iran—the revolution's original actors—whose bodies and households bear the most immediate weight of the imperial violence of hybrid warfare, sanctions, neoliberal reforms, and war. Yet, and that is the point that escapes the Western observer entirely, they have not ceded the street to the binary. Instead, they have transformed the streets into a single, unified, and revolutionary site of two simultaneous acts: the defence of the national project of independence against external imperial annihilati; second is the demand that this same state advance, and realize, the original promise of 1979: an anti-imperialist foreign policy, and a domestic political economy oriented toward social justice, redistributive welfare, and the material dignity of the working class. On negotiations, I argue that this is not a situation where negotiations are determining the dynamics on the ground. The relative containment we are seeing is not the product of a diplomatic breakthrough, but of deterrence. The reason the U.S., despite repeated violations of the ceasefire framework, has not escalated into another large-scale strike yet is because Iran has partially altered the cost–benefit analysis through its capacity to impose costs. rumble.com/v79s4ku-crosst…

“The Senate should respect the Philippine government’s international obligations and allow the arrest of and surrender Bato dela Rosa to the ICC. Do not protect Duterte’s co-perpetrator in the commission of crimes against humanity." bulatlat.com/2026/05/12/kin…

ICC confirms arrest warrant against Bato dela Rosa The International Criminal Court confirms it has issued confidentially the arrest warrant against Ronald Marapon Dela Rosa.

This is how imperialist domination is being reproduced under present conditions: diplomatic multilateralism on the surface, strategic subordination underneath. Read: bulatlat.com/2026/05/11/mis…

The midnight firing of a U.S. Tomahawk cruise missile from Tacloban during Balikatan 2026 was not an isolated display of military capability. It was the clearest sign yet that Philippine territory is being positioned for a more direct role in US military operations in the region.

The Ph govt hosted the ASEAN Summit in Cebu: diplomatic in language, militarist in intent; analysis from the counter-summit: tinyurl.com/CounterAsean

Today’s Victory Day, marking the defeat of Nazi Germany, we remember one of the most famous moments from newly liberated Berlin. The video shows Lydia Spivak, a young Red Army woman, dancing and directing traffic in front of the Brandenburg Gate.

We completed the investigation at Minab school, so Donald Trump doesn't have to. Triple tap U.S Tomahawk cruise missiles were fired on a busy school day. Many children were still alive after the first strike. As some tried to flee, they were targeted again - this time with teachers and parents too. This can only be described as evil crimes against children and humanity.

RED DEVIL HORNS melt as Trump-Netanyahu effigy BURNED in Philippines for May Day

Sexual crimes by Israeli soldiers against Palestinians, including gang rapes and rapes with dogs, are the most bestial atrocities I've ever read. We spoke to @MahaGaza about these horrors and @TamaraINassar and I wrote about them. Watch/Read (GRAPHIC!) electronicintifada.net/content/system…

Leave it to the PFLP to release the hardest May Day posters every single year. “Workers of the World! Unite to Smash Imperialism!”

#Philippines — During May Day demonstrations in Manila, effigies of Trump, Netanyahu and Philippine President Marcos were set on fire.

Iran’s latest AI Lego video marks a significant pivot. Instead of taunting the US military, it reflects a new chapter in which Tehran will seek peace by reaching out directly to the American people, bypassing the US government. It's a mirror image of the US strategy of the past decades. Some of the lines are quite noteworthy and will likely resonate with the anti-establishment sentiments prevailing among American youth in particular: "I love the constitution, the way it was meant. But not the way your leaders bypass consent..."
