JUST IN: BRICS countries agree to cooperate to build stronger energy systems.

Between BI/POC and non-BI/POC, there is absolutely no such thing as "class war." It is always predicated on race, end of. Between members of the #MajorityWorld (where being BI/POC is a requirement) class war is extremely real. This is what we humans i.e. we BI/POC Here, should be fighting.

In Chouf, Lebanon, the Cherry Festival is not only about celebrating the harvest season, but also an opportunity for farmers to market their produce and face the challenges brought by economic hardship and war:

That is the trade. Loyalty in exchange for a version of safety that was never actually yours to begin with. Issue 08 names what that trade costs, and what it looks like to start noticing which one you are giving in any given moment. Not to stop giving it immediately.

The infrastructure is not just running. It is asking for something in return. Your loyalty. To the conditioned response. To what has been trained as safe. Instead of trust in your own read of what is actually happening in front of you, right now, without the rehearsal.

Trust and loyalty are not the same thing. Issue 08 of the Life Beyond the Supremacy Myth newsletter names the difference, and why that difference matters more than most people realize. The myth of white supremacy has spent a long time training you to confuse the two.

Bangladesh PM Tarique Rahman heads to China for high-level talks with Li Qiang and Xi Jinping, with Teesta, defense ties, and investment on the agenda.

"Members of the community want to feel safe and stable, and to remove the causes that pushed thousands of families to migrate in recent years." Iraq’s Christian population has fallen sharply over the past two decades, from around 1.5m before the 2003 US-led invasion to fewer than 200,000 today.

The old threats don't work because we're living what we worked hard to avoid. Y'all wanted a revolution but you're just realizing, and you hate it, that you can't succeed without Black folx, who've had enough.

I've been learning Russian for about 6 months, and now I can't mentally read "Bluesky" as 'bloo-skái', but as 'bluzki'.

In 2025, Belt and Road energy engagement reached $93.9 billion, with oil and gas leading the surge, but Chinese firms are now focusing more on production, processing, and power infrastructure.

History shows that the fixation on STEM typically coincides with periods of conflict or major war, whereas the erosion of the Humanities clears a path for authoritarian rule.

I really wish those white leftists would stop centering the United States of America in everything. It's the Indonesian President & his cronies who made revisions to Military Law and Police Law, why would Indonesians need American money to protest them? Do they think we are that stupid & helpless?

This digital world is having an agency crisis.

The streets suck actually and protests are only awesome because we're awesome. You cannot replace solidarity with patronage and cash. Imperialism can never and will never buy solidarity.

The natural state of the proletariat is apolicity. Our dependency on normalcy renders us as apolitical. The role of the paid protestors is the channeling of apolicity towards affirming normalcy. Mass political and antipolitical actions simply cannot be paid for.

For people who say the protests in Indonesia are US-backed: Opportunists of empire and of the left flock to each and every insurrectionary wave, seeking to coopt and demobilize it. Cowards tell us to act for ourselves while denigrating our every action for self-activity.
