These are things that almost certainly were said behind closed doors in every previous US administration. Trump is just so deranged he says the quiet part out loud. No amount of post-Trump image rehab or international reconciliation should make you forget this.

This is fucking insane. The only silver lining, to the extent that you can say that when someone is explicitly threatening war crimes, is that the world is nakedly seeing the US for the satanically evil militarized force it always has been.

Israeli authorities confess they are singling out the Shi'ite Lebanese population for destruction. This is textbook ethnic cleansing, described as "Israel's message" by the @nytimes.

While covering the latest Israeli settler attack in the West Bank, Israeli soldiers assaulted my photojournalist @cyrilthps and detained my team. But our 2-hour detention revealed a lot about the motives of these Israeli soldiers: acting in service of the settler movement. W/ @AbeerSalmanCNN

Just so i understand this, blocking the strait of Hormuz is unfair, but blocking oil shipments to Cuba in order to collapse their whole country, is fair, did I get that right🤔

a short video on what makes Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music so special and funny

The DOD operates 161 schools on military bases, some directly adjacent to airfields.

🚨 Right in the middle of the strike map U.S. War Secretary Pete Hegseth proudly displayed at a Pentagon briefing today sits Minab — the site of a school in southern Iran where a U.S.–Israeli strike killed 165 children this weekend. BBC’s Tom Bateman asked Hegseth whether the Pentagon knows whose munition hit the school. Hegseth said the department is still investigating. Journalist Chris Osieck plotted the Minab school (green dot) onto the strike map released by the U.S. military today. It sits directly within the cluster of U.S. strike zones shown on the Pentagon briefing map. @tombateman | @ChrisOsieck

In 1961, Fidel Castro sent weapons Cuba had captured during the CIA's failed Bay of Pigs Invasion to the Algerian resistance against the French colonizers. After Algeria won independence, they trained and sent guerrillas to help Che and Cuban revolutionaries who were in Bolivia assisting the struggle against the CIA-backed dictatorship there. That is why they despise Cuba. They hate what they have dared to accomplish, and represent. They hate any form of Third-World internationalism and solidarity— when we unify against their objectives. That is why they vilify them; offering any alternative to the capitalist-imperialist hellhole they've created for you; anyone who defies their hegemonic mandate and refuses to open themselves up to being ravaged by their corporations. They hate that Cuba had the audacity to nationalize its resources and industries so it doesn't just belong to or benefit only a rich select few, but are put to use to secure every citizen's right to life. That its people refused to continue to live in squalor— undignified, illiterate, starving— existing to serve as the Vegasesque holidaying paradise that it once was for wealthy Americans to splurge and gamble in. Where the sugarcane plantations lined the pockets of American elites through Batista's puppet dictatorship they'd installed there. They hate that Cubans liberated their country FOR themselves. That they sought to control their own destiny and economy, instead of opening it up for foreign interests through privatization, deregulation and austerity that end up devastating the socioeconomic structure for the local population. They hate that Cuba can organize its society so that the state can provide its citizenry with basic necessities like free healthcare, meanwhile people in the US choose to die at home rather than risk the cost of calling an ambulance. Cuba has been under severe embargoes through 12 successive American administrations. Yet despite this subjugation, it is always one of the first countries to send free medicine/ doctors to any disaster hit countries— yet it is widely accepted as the epitome of evil within the collective western psyche. Despite over half a century of persistent economic terrorism and internal destabilization efforts, Cuba continues to exemplify what is possible through a revolutionary model that prioritizes dignifying it's own citizenry with collective care and life. Rather than being a conduit for corporate power; that abandons its responsibilities and exists to facilitate maximizing the wealth of the powerful. How do you have a functional state apparatus that is still able to successfully relocate millions when a hurricane strikes or can provide universal healthcare and free education to its people, and is making advancements in science and medicine despite it's hands being tied? That's why they've now only tightened the noose; to make the people suffer and the economy to *scream* (as Nixon instructed Kissinger to do in Chile, to deter Allende's socialist reforms and successes). Cuba shows us what's possible when you don't live under a (capitalist) system that profits off of death and destruction— that creates the conditions for people to be pushed onto the street; criminalizes them for it and then invests billions back into policing and terrorizing them for being poor. Revolutionary socialism in stark contrast to the exploitation of capitalism that renders so many invisible and disposable for the sake of profit. At it's crux is this radical notion of dignifying and uplifting human life. The revolution is that radical love in practice. Revolutionary Cuba today still stands upright and formidable in it's vision, despite the threats against it. It is the antithesis to the western capitalist-imperialist apparatus in every respect. It dismantled the American colonial grip over the nation and has challenged their hegemony ever since. A thorn in its back-side; right in their backyard.

To understand how monstrous the US blockade on Cuba is, think about the endgame. What are they trying to achieve? The goal is clearly to starve people to the point where they are too weak to resist an invasion, or so desperate they are willing to accept US control. To get to this point, the US would have to plan on *very severe* starvation of the country. Because remember, the Cubans fought a revolution against a US-backed dictatorship, and they have struggled to survive under US blockade for half a century. They will not surrender their sovereignty easily, they will fight to the bitter end, and the US understands this. The US is gearing up for genocidal crimes. They backed the genocide in Gaza precisely in order to set a precedent that would allow them to do this themselves. It is pure, wanton barbarism. Every decent person with any shred of human values must resist this campaign with all their might.

For over 30 years, the UN has adopted a resolution calling for an end to the suffocating U.S. embargo on Cuba, with only the U.S. and Israel reliably voting no. The same two terror states then bombed Yemen for imposing a sea blockade in its own waters in response to genocide.

Clearer look. I never see the man touch his firearm, and it looks like he's disarmed before being shot.

The world lost a giant of a man today RIP

Sorry, I made a mistake. The correct figure is 38 million deaths associated with unilateral sanctions imposed by the US and EU during the period 1970-2021. I had assumed that the annual average reported in the paper (564k deaths) applied to the whole period 1970-2021. Summing this would give 28 million. But the reported figure applies only to the period 2012-2021. The correct total can be obtained from the annual results for the whole period from 1970, as per the figures in the supplementary information file. This gives a sum total of 38 million deaths.

Comprehensive video analysis from the New York Times proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that the ICE agent murdered this woman and was in no danger of being run over

the fbi tried to turn this man into an informant and when he wouldn’t spy on his community for them they had ice kidnap him. this country is irredeemable
