Truly a must read story. What they did to journalist Amal Khalil, with the world watching and praying for her, is unspeakable. dropsitenews.com/p/lebanon-jour…

There is no credible evidence that Iranian authorities “killed at least 42,000 innocent, completely unarmed, protestors” in the riots and protests two months ago.
HRANA, a widely cited Iran rights monitor, reported on January 27 that protests had led to 42,324 arrests, not 42,000 killings.
The group, which is funded in part by the U.S. government, published on February 23 a ~1,350-page report, it’s most comprehensive account, which documented 7,007 deaths overall — broken down as 6,488 adult protesters, 236 minors, 207 security force members, and 76 non-participants. Iranian authorities have noted 3,117 deaths because of the actions of armed rioters who infiltrated the protests, and about 3,000 arrests.

Despite the pressure,When the World Sleeps is about to come out in English too (US:@otherpress; UK/Australia:@HardieGrant). While it’s about Palestine, past and present, and the law in its most accessible form, it cuts through the noise and shows why truth itself is such a threat
Quds News Network@QudsNen
Pro-Israeli lobby groups intensified efforts in late 2025 to block or restrict the release and distribution of UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese’s latest book on Gaza, titled When the World Sleeps, which includes stories, words, and wounds of Palestine, and documents Israeli atrocities against humanity. Scheduled for English-language release in April 2026, following its initial late 2025 publication, the book now faces significant distribution uncertainty in the US.

María del Carmen Alanís es corresponsable de uno de los peores atracos en la historia de la transición mexicana: el kafkiano caso Iztapalapa en 2009.
Es correcto que se le rechace de cualquier instancia electoral; su propio historial la desacredita.
Leti RoblesdelaRosa@letroblesrosa
Increíble. María del Carmen Alanís, que fue máxima juzgadora en materia electoral, no pasa a fase de entrevistas para ser consejera del @INEMexico Una persona que JAMÁS ha trabajado en el mundo electoral, pero milita en un partido, Arturo Chávez, sí pasa. Qué lamentable.

Lo que Occidente llamaba el "mundo libre" después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial era una comunidad de imperios que se reservaban el derecho de coaccionar, extraer recursos y masacrar a sus súbditos coloniales. La URSS se enfrentaba a este sistema, no a un bloque democrático.

“Israel continued its large-scale bombing of Hezbollah targets” - NYT
“Israeli jets drop 160 bombs on Hezbollah targets” - LA Times
“Israel's military called it the largest coordinated strike in the current war, striking more than 100 Hezbollah targets within 10 mins” - PBS/AP

In a matter of minutes, Israel killed more than 350 people across Lebanon on Wednesday, April 8. Here are some of their stories.

@Villgecrazylady The US hadn't earned any international authority. Before World War II, the US invaded different countries and participated in internal genocide. After World War II, the US invaded, bombed, and coerced even more countries. And collaborated in genocide (Indonesia 1965, for example)
English
The only thing you need to understand about the situation regarding Iran is that the United States threw 200 years of hard earned international authority and respect for common law in the trash when it decided to fully fund a genocide and then commit war crimes of its own within hours of starting this stupid war with Iran- namely bombing an elementary school and then sinking an unarmed ship and allowing the sailors aboard to drown.
No body gives a fuck about the Barbary Wars and whatever precedent once existed, you absolute clowns.
Joel Pollak@joelpollak
The only thing you need to know about the situation regarding Iran is that the United States has never, since the Barbary Wars over 200 years ago, accepted that a foreign potentate would be able to control freedom of the seas and demand tribute. It's the reason we built a Navy.

@midpackergeek @hedgehog_grumpy @LaGataRosie @carriepricecox3 @Geddiie @Alei_Raza @najam_ali The US government would do it, that’s your point. You say the US is willing to commit genocide on the greatest scale ever but somehow that reflects badly on the Iran government ?

@hedgehog_grumpy @LaGataRosie @carriepricecox3 @Geddiie @Alei_Raza @najam_ali The Mullahs would let it happen. That’s the point

I am genuinely struggling to understand this logic.
If the rest of the world is willing to pay a small toll to Iran to keep oil flowing and stabilise markets, then why does the U.S. feel the need to block all shipping, especially when it is not dependent on that oil?

Algo que desde la historia estándar de la transición a la democracia mexicana se omite:
El desafuero de López Obrador de 2004-2005 equivale a otro 1988.
No considerar eso lleva a una historia incompleta.
Y a interpretaciones imprecisas.

Interesting thread worth reading in full.
Conclusion: "Israel cannot survive outside of this [US] imperial system. And it's spending its last decade (or so) committing massacres and collecting enemies."
İyad el-Baghdadi | إياد البغدادي@iyad_elbaghdadi
There's been lots of debates over the years about who controls whom - does the US control Israel, or does Israel control the US? Here's some thoughts on the US imperial system, its rise and its decline. To do this best I'll have to expand the frame to include the Gulf & its oil 🧵

@Kawaakibi Third fact: Until the fall of the Shah in 1979, the most reliable and promising ally for the US in the Gulf region was not Israel but... Iran.
A large, populous country with a Western-aligned, ambitious yet brutal monarch. Who better to protect US interests in the oil-rich Gulf?

En pleno apartheid, genocidio y etc, The Economist lleva 10 años dando a Israel alrededor del 7,8 sobre 10 en calidad democrática. Eso basta para ver la nula calidad del índice.

Olvidos mexicanos sobre la Europa de los 90: Puedo equivocarme, pero entre las cosas que las narrativas de la Transición mexicana omiten o pasan de largo muy rápido están los años de las privatizaciones o cómo esa historia de democracia y capitalismo en la Europa del Este tuvo un coste humano altísimo. Pareciera que de las famosas mesas de Vuelta para los liberales mexicanos realmente existentes, Putin y los oligarcas aparecieron por arte de magia y fueran irrelevantes en la historia de las transiciones. ¿Por qué todo eso pasó de noche? O un poco más cerca, ¿por qué todo el mundo parece recordar un cuento rosa de la Transición española y el "destape", pero nadie habla del paro?

In the final years of South African Apartheid, the white government decided it must 1) overthrow the government of Angola 2) install a puppet regime in Namibia 3) attack Zimbabwe 4) attack Botswana 5) attack Zambia in order to survive. This did not work
