Cuba is preparing to share hundreds of million vaccines to the global south. Cuba, the same small island under history's longest embargo - which blocks their ability to get the supplies they need for basic goods. this isn't an out of the blue "miracle" as described by US pundits.

One year ago today, ‘Perfect Victims and the Politics of Appeal’ by Mohammed El-Kurd was published. The book explores Palestinian resistance and challenges the expectation that Palestinians must prove their humanity to the rest of the world.

Cuba gave asylum to Black revolutionaries like Assata and the US gave asylum to Nazis. So when they call Cuba an evil terrorist state; know what's actually what. Cuba's crime has been refusing to bow down to American dictate. It is being pulveryzed and punished into submission.

the US is exerting a very coordinated attack not only on Venezuela, but on the entire Latin American & Caribbean region. the ramifications will be vast and long-lasting. I interviewed @manolo_realengo to unpack what's at stake. tune in here: open.spotify.com/episode/3YGk12…

How many more massacres will it take for Western journalists to grow a spine? To stop parroting Israeli propaganda? To boycott their press conferences? To raise hell in the newsroom? Is this the life you have imagined for yourself, a life of rancid hypocrisy and cowardice? Tfeh

I’m a psychiatrist. In 2025, I’ve seen 12 people hospitalized after losing touch with reality because of AI. Online, I’m seeing the same pattern. Here’s what “AI psychosis” looks like, and why it’s spreading fast: 🧵

apparently Israel is letting in some food now and prices have dropped significantly. they're going to allow a few journalists in to film it all to prove there's no hunger. they turn the tap off, on, off, on. for food, for water, for electricity, for life. what's it called when sadistic jewish supremacists control every aspect of your life, including whether you live or die? eat or starve. get an education or get your limbs cut off. have soap or get eaten by bugs. have sanitary napkins or bleed onto cardboard, plastic bags, or whatever you can manage. we need a word. holocaust isn't big enough. depraved, sadistic, evil, demonic...none of these quite capture the depths and pervasiveness of their darkness.

Study, organize, build, build in secret, build in private, create, create something that will outlast America — Amiri Baraka

no matter how many CIA-backed puppet rulers they install in the region, no one will live in peace with these demons. Sooner or later, even if it takes generations, this genocidal zionist colony will be dismantled. Mark my words.

My TL is filled with the bodies of children. Nothing else matters except doing all we can to stop this genocide. Arguing with Zionists? Appealing to the “morality” of liberals? Creating a more “palatable” narrative to gain mass support? If the daily mass slaughter and starvation of human beings won’t bring people onto our side then it’s back to recognising that we are dealing with monsters.

trying to stay tender hearted despite it all

for Valentine’s Day, I spoke to @deanspade and chatted about how the systems of empire make our relationships (romantic and otherwise) so damn hard and how turning towards one another is the only choice we have in ongoing crises. tune in: open.spotify.com/episode/7acvuA…
