thinking about how my parents escaped vietnam, where the CIA destabilized my family's home country by spreading misinformation, and they landed in the united states, which is now getting destabilized bc someone in vietnam is spreading misinformation

one in five americans still getting their brains poached in elon's racist, self-worshipping bullshit

half my timeline rn

Today was Palestinian Independence Day. As Trump and Netanyahu’s disastrous postwar plans become clear, the U.S. must recognize and respect Palestinian statehood — as 81% of the world already does. Agency and dignity are the only ways we can achieve lasting peace.

Baby in the background like a bass guitarist

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Aí é foda meu patrão

“We’re going to end carceral systems through constant state monitoring.” - tech CEOs for like the last month now.

Palestine is intersectional or it is meaningless. If being pro palestine to you means tolerating antisemites and racists, then you have no business speaking on the issue

oh my god

lol she got his ass and he knows it

The truth is not "more nuanced," the truth is that none of these people are narco terrorists.

The Biden administration was fully complicit in genocide, and anyone who served in it should be held accountable.

This is what they took from you

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

I love that Mamdani is what the right claimed Obama was: A Muslim socialist born in Africa. The right practically manifested Mamdani into existence.

(Miami Herald) - The Trump Administration has made the decision to attack military installations inside Venezuela and the strikes could come at any moment, sources with knowledge of the situation told the Miami Herald .. @miamiherald.com www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

I truly do not understand the US-European "which continent is intrinsically more fascist / prone to forever being fascist" argument I see on here every single day

We keep seeing startups who want to replace something valuable (therapy, counseling, tutoring, artistic expression) with some tech bullshit under the banner of democratization. But why do we need to invest so much in bad tech that doesn't work instead of just giving people access to what they need?

a couple of years ago, whenever i'd say that joe biden should be doing this or that, i would get responses from his supporters explaining that the president can't just do whatever he wants. he has to follow all these rules and norms and laws and such, apparently

I think a lot of ppl are mad at the subconscious realization that it actually doesn’t matter how many millions peacefully protest- if nothing else is done nothing will change. Sorry if this offends- it feels like that’s the reaction you’re having. The reaction to not actually living in a democracy

If these people don't come to terms with the fact that Trump is just a symptom of the American Empire, they'll never stop more Trumps from showing up down the line. The communists aren't wrong for telling them that!

Westerner elites want to insulate Israel from consequences. and punish Russia. OK that's fine, just be honest. Western liberals on the whole want both to be punished. OK that's fine. But it is funny to see the former call the latter antisemitic.

MAGA man eats pavement after shouting slurs at No Kings protesters

With alt text. Executive summary: the US killed at least 3 Colombian fishermen who’d put up a distress flag. In Colombian waters

It’s all happening on x dot com where I do my banking

Can I also say I am so angry today. It's the lives lost, the cities wiped out, the time taken from us. We have been consumed with this level of unspeakable violence for 2 years. To think of all the potential futures taken away... it's unfathomable

In the State Department’s original tweet, they tagged the wrong Gustavo Petro. Imagine being a random guy from Brazil and waking up to learn you’ve been visa banned from the US

there is still no better time than now than to cancel your washington post subscriptions if you for some reason still have one

Thinking about the 1969 Piazza Fontana bombing and how Italy's security services blamed it on anarchists, arrested nearly 100 activists and threw one of them out the 4th floor window of the police station. The bombing was carried out by a neo-fascist group with ties to the state security services.

going viral on Reddit it's super easy this is my second time in a row www.reddit.com/r/SubredditD...

To be clear, Clinton isn’t telling Israel to stop starving and killing Palestinians, which she could easily do, she is saying they should be fed before their execution.

I think it’s worth noting this piece generated the most unsubscribes I’ve seen in a while, and the newsletter version had the lowest open rate in many months. These horrors persist in part because too many people go to great pains to avoid them.

Read my latest:

toda vez na história, TODA VEZ NA HISTÓRIA que o Brasil começa a se tornar independente, começa a se tornar soberano, quando a gente começa a limpar os pés pra entrar na sala e sentar na mesa, TODA VEZ esses gringos filhos da puta desgraçados tentam dar golpe no nosso país. toda vez.

Miss Rachel continues to have more of a moral backbone than 99% of public figures

you can say a lot about this but the short answer is: I remember a point in the runup to the election where the Palestine activists were *desperate* to back Harris, they just needed one basic concession: a chance to give a speech to publicly make this endorsement. Harris refused at the last minute.

Elon Musk’s Grok AI posted about Musk’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein in first person, as if Grok was Musk. In response to viral exposure, the original Grok post has been deleted and Grok is now falsely claiming screenshots of it are fabricated. This is just one example of why AI is so dangerous

internalizing american notions of race and ethnic division as timeless truths about the world is a shortcut to smoothing out your brain

Pulitzer Prize-winning Palestinian writer Mosab Abu Toha says he’s been suspended from Substack, a platform where white supremacists publish without issue. I can’t recall this happening to any prominent writers in the past.

it will stay with me forever that there was only ever one real chance to stop the genocide and Joe Biden declined it

"you taught the world about freedom, it's time for us to repay the favor" is a fucking KILLER line

There is no fucking reason whatsoever why the transphobic scat-muncher that is Joanne K. Rowling deserves any more of your time or your money. Your love of #HarryPotter is not worth the cruelty and hatred she keeps inflicting on trans girls and women. @ceilidhann.bsky.social wrote this:
