It’s not lost on me that the attack on South Pars occurred on the eve of the anniversary of Iran’s oil nationalization—a significant assertion of sovereignty over natural resources. That assertion was met first with a CIA-backed coup against the democratically elected government that claimed that right; it then evolved into decades of US-led sanctions designed to cripple the ability to develop those resources; and it has now culminated in the US bombing the very infrastructure built despite those efforts to halt it. Equally important is that South Pars is home to Iran’s largest anti-imperialist labor union, defending workers’ rights while protecting them from imperialist appropriation. This attack, therefore, is also a direct assault on the union and its significant struggle for workers rights.

The men time their facelifts to coincide with their redemption arcs bc beauty politics are coterminous with fascist politics. I’m looking at you Brad Pitt! (And Leo too if we’re being real and frank about his obsession with women in their early 20s)

The men leave the upper third relatively intact to conceal it from the masses (Bradley cooper’s situation still hasn’t settled and it freaked people out) but I can name like 10 dudes who have had a neck lift recently and probably double that amount for the women

influencers have replaced everything. being an actor or a musician or a writer is just treating your work as fodder for sponsored social media posts and brand deals. politicians see their jobs as clip farming. real life is just a content farm for shortform vertical video

It is a little astonishing to me how much we've pretty much just accepted that Trump, his family, and his friends are making hundreds of millions of dollars in obvious, completely unhidden graft, and there's not really anything anyone can do about it.
Mike Levin@MikeLevin

This story cannot keep flying under the radar. A ProPublica investigation uncovered hundreds of millions of dollars in financial ties between Trump officials and the industries they are supposed to regulate. That is not just a conflict of interest. It is corruption, plain and simple. This is the most corrupt administration in American history, by far. propublica.org/article/trump-…

This is defending the genocidal US-Israeli death machine, *and* a bonus genocidal death machine in the UAE, which is arming and funding crimes against humanity in Sudan.

There are around 250,000 Lebanese Australians but the Australian government isn’t doing anything for us or our families, instead they’re sending a spy plane and missiles to [checks notes] the UAE, to “defend Australians”. What an absolute crock of shit.
David Shoebridge@DavidShoebridge

Tens of thousands of Australians are in Lebanon right now, sheltering from Israeli attacks, and the Albanese Government has not said a peep. As the Albanese Government commits us to an illegal US forever war, they are ignoring the victims of the horror they support.

The answer is yes, yes we are - Albanese has dragged Australia to war, bowing yet again to a rapist pedophile and genocidal cretin. Virtually every step of the way he has kept this country firmly in breach of international law and human decency.

Larissa Waters asks Penny Wong if Australia is “at war” Wong “we are engaged in collective self defence…” Waters “Point of order on relevance, are we at war?” Wong “I responded by being clear that we are engaged in collective self defence…” Is that a yes? 🤔 #auspol

This is a huge story in China right now given how big an outcry the installation of this caused back in 2017: Chinese tourism to South Korea was stopped, the Lotte Group was essentially shut down in China (nearly all of Lotte Mart's 112 Chinese stores were closed down due to "fire safety issues"), Hyundai and Kia had to close factories, k-pop disappeared from Chinese media, etc. And now the US is just dismantling it to send it to the Middle-East... So, quite literally, to have this, South Korea endured tens of billions in economic damage and did enormous harm to its relationship with its neighbor and largest trading partner... only for the US to take it back whenever it suited them. The lesson writes itself.
UK Report@UK_REPT

NEW — 🇰🇷🇺🇸🇮🇷 Korean media published an image from today, showing the US dismantling its THAAD and Patriot systems from S-Korea, to send to the Middle East.

Today, the world’s largest human rights group shared a detailed statement on how Israel’s ONGOING GENOCIDE is impacting Palestinian women. It didn’t generate a single headline in Western media. Because why would this be newsworthy?
Amnesty International@amnesty

Over the past 29 months the devastating, multilayered impact of Israel’s ongoing genocide has pushed Palestinian women and girls in the occupied Gaza Strip to the brink. Women in Gaza are being denied the conditions needed to live and to give life safely. Read more 👇 amn.st/6011B61WAb
