On Easter morning, this is what President Trump posted. Everyone in his administration that claims to be a Christian needs to fall on their knees and beg forgiveness from God and stop worshipping the President and intervene in Trump’s madness. I know all of you and him and he has gone insane, and all of you are complicit. I’m not defending Iran but let’s be honest about all of this. The Strait is closed because the US and Israel started the unprovoked war against Iran based on the same nuclear lies they’ve been telling for decades, that any moment Iran would develop a nuclear weapon. You know who has nuclear weapons? Israel. They are more than capable of defending themselves without the US having to fight their wars, kill innocent people and children, and pay for it. Trump threatening to bomb power plants and bridges hurts the Iranian people, the very people Trump claimed he was freeing. On Easter, of all days, we as Christians should be reminded that the son of God died and rose from the grave so that we can be forgiven once and for all of our sins. Jesus commanded us to love one another and forgive one another. Even our enemies. Our President is not a Christian and his words and actions should not be supported by Christians. Christians in the administration should be pursuing peace. Urging the President to make peace. Not escalating war that is hurting people. This NOT what we promised the American people when they overwhelmingly voted in 2024, I know, I was there more than most. This is not making America great again, this is evil.

The liberal idea of freedom is going to end up enslaving everyone to finance capital.

The liberal vote harder attitude exactly mirrors the neoliberal "work harder" in transforming the global, systemic political and economic crisis we find ourselves in into something we can extricate ourselves from through sheer force of individual agency.

The ONLY thing @AOC should be saying about foreign policy right now is DON’T BOMB IRAN.

This railroad will connect Algeria with its landlocked neighbors in the Sahel: Niger and Mali. Goods are then able to be exported through Algerian ports. There are three popular critiques of China’s efforts to build infrastructure in Africa: 1) it’s not done with altruistic intentions but because China wants to access African commodities. 🧐…but why is it bad to find win-win solutions? 2) Chinese projects use Chinese laborers. These projects are not creating African jobs. 🧐…where are the Western railroad projects using African laborers? Construction in Africa is challenging and if it is cheaper and less complicated to use Chinese laborers that’s preferable. Once the railway is done it will naturally create jobs for the locals as economic activity increases. 3) African countries are being enticed into debt traps by Belt and Road projects. 🧐…what large-scale infrastructure project has ever been done for free or paid for up-front without financing? Previous to the Belt and Road projects done with World Bank or IMF finding came with their own risks. African countries choose China with their eyes open for speed, value and assurance of completion. Building transportation, especially internal transportation facilitating trade within Africa, is a shortcut to creating wealth. A big reason for Africa’s poverty is that it has not been blessed with a good river network for the transportation of goods. Colonial-era infrastructure focused on getting commodities out to the world market, not trade and movement of goods and people within Africa, resulting in small fragmented markets with prices higher than they should be. It’s good to build roads. Those who are not doing it should not be criticizing those who are doing it.

@AngelicaOung 深圳最大消費科技零售聚集地就是華強北。汕頭的話要吃:生醃,滷獅頭鵝(苏南勤记卤鹅不錯吃),粿汁 ,牛肉丸/火鍋。有時間的話建議去澄海區陳慈黌故居。南洋華僑蓋的豪宅。有點偏但很漂亮,適合拍電影取景。

OK…after reading up more on Hainan it seems extremely chopped: Temu Boracay but expensive. So I’m dropping it. So now this is the: BOUGIE ON A BUDGE COASTAL TOUR 2026 Three cities, 15000+ steps a day, splurge on spas, not food. Fly into Shenzhen: soak in the techhhhh (where can I see robots?), meet up with mutuals, go to the giant spas HSR to Shantou: my grandpa was from here! Seems like a good place to relax and get hotpot! HSR to Xiamen: Time to hit the casinos! Kidding…I will find something to do there! Fly back to Taipei Home Sweet Home!

THE SEZ-SAR TOUR 2026 Planning my first trip to China in 2026! I really want to go to Hainan since I’ve seen it so much in the news. But since there are no direct flights there, it also seems to make sense to do a stop somewhere else first. I’m thinking of flying into Xiamen first. Not sure exactly what to do there but I should see it? Then the main event: Hainan! Big decision point is to fly into Haikou (old street vibes) or Sanya (sand seafood resorts vibes) Fly back via Shenzen: catch the vibe on the tech stuff, hit one of those megaspas I missed out in Shanghai because I rolled my ankle, then back to Taipei. Recommendations welcome! I’m on a light budget both in terms of RMBs and calories (gaining multiple KGs like I did in Shanghai is not an option.) Would love to meetup with any locals!

4/ 很多人誤以為深圳只是高科技,是文化沙漠。其實不是。深圳年輕一代在吸納中國各省乃至世界各地的因素創造出一種新的融合文化。還有最近很多客家古蹟如都被保留下來。值得去探索。

3/ 深圳南頭古城值得去逛。中國大陸新一代的古蹟保存模式,沒有把原來居民全部搬走翻修,所以還保持生活氣息。OCT華僑城創意文化園適合閒逛一個下午。另外,深圳市当代艺术与城市规划馆還有崗夏城中村也挺震撼。

It’s PERFECTLY FINE to shrug your shoulders and move on over one death while the preventable deaths of hundreds of thousands underwritten by your own government and supported by both political parties continues unabated.

In order to defeat this iteration of fascism, we have to name and explain in concrete terms its specific harms, not just make comparisons to prior instances of fascism.

While the situation is different, Taiwan faces a similar dilemma about its future.
Arnaud Bertrand@RnaudBertrand

This is undoubtedly one of the most thoughtful analyses of the Iran-Israel war that I've heard to date. This is Jacques Sapir (@russeurope), easily one of the most interesting economists and geopolitical analysts in France. He's director of studies at École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS) in Paris, as well as a member of the very prestigious Russian Academy of Sciences. Sapir's analysis is long and detailed so I've written an article laying it out in full, but in short his argument is that Israel’s pursuit of tactical military victories has led to a strategic defeat of the ideological project of Zionism. Essentially, in their refusal to cede any meaningful sovereignty to the Palestinian people native to the land, Israel has now paradoxically put itself in a strategic place where it's ended up surrendering almost most of its sovereignty to a country halfway around the world - the US - in ways that could severely backfire. And that constitutes the strategic defeat of the core ideological project of Zionism, a contradiction that may have profound and lasting strategic consequences for Israel's future.
