Indeed, China has not invaded any country anywhere in the past 46 years. During this same period, we have watched Western states invade and bomb a long list of global South countries, with spectacular violence, including seven countries in 2025 alone."

It does not impose sanctions or structural adjustment programmes on African economies. China has not perpetrated genocide in Africa. It has never invaded an African country.

Is China doing "colonialism" in Africa? Here I argue that equating China’s activities in Africa to Western colonialism/imperialism is not only empirically incorrect, it trivialises the extraordinary violence of the latter. It is a form of denialism. jasonhickel.substack.com/p/is-china-d...

Milquetoast support for a subjugated Palestine ‘statehood’ but total, open support for color revolution regime change in Iran. Typical liberal.

Tim Walz is insisting you passively accept state-sanctioned violence.

Very much in keeping with Team Blue policy for the proposed ‘solution’ to the murderous brownshirts masking their identities be another thing the agency would not comply with anyway but which would lead to a gigantic federal contract being handed to another tech company. Useless opposition party.

A chicken nugget needs labor. @RajPatel.org explains how Oklahoma’s chicken industry exploited people diverted from jail during the opioid crisis, sending them to work overnight on production lines without basic worker protections. 📌 Full episode ▶ youtu.be/zQbUJGdfqMI #PrisonLabor #FoodJustice

Tottenham’s Conor Gallagher signing seems emblematic of their ongoing squad building issues. Good player who will likely do well immediately but his presence will set back the development of one or more of Sarr, Gray, Bergvall. And CM was not an urgent need as LB, striker, LW, RW are. An odd one.

I know there are people out there who care about others and can comfortably afford to help these families, but are maybe unsure If anyone has any questions about anything, feel free to DM me, I won’t judge you at all for asking

This country is terrorizing the people it has been since its inception It’s time for all of you who haven’t yet to wrap your heads around the reality that this fascistic nonsense did not start in 2016 You must open your eyes to underlying causes & stop getting preternaturally obsessed w/symptoms

You should attend this in-person or virtually.

Frey and Walz are fucking collaborators. They might give a strongly worded interview or nyt op ed, but every day they show up and continue the work that allows this and don't even attempt the methods within their power to slow or stop it

this newly sailor mouthed dud won reelection with 50.3% of the vote AFTER rank choice tabulations, all thanks to the DFL ratfucking omar fateh with surgical precision the moment he was the clear nominee

As they said in 2020: Go home, Jacob! Go home!” Happy to have the party help him block a milquetoast socdem reformist like Omar Fateh from winning the mayoral race and a bunch of you with your head in the sand still think the ballot box is a primary means of resolving the contradictions we face.

Tremendous work Bluesky. Now blocked by a bootlicking delusional liberal former U.S. ambassador for pointing out basic factual information about POTUS ICE funding data. Fuck this fucking genocidal app and fuck this shithole, fascist country. Absolutely fucking dogshit, fascist app.

Ken wants you to think it’s an issue of manners when the issue is that ICE should never have been created as an agency and should have been dissolved during the first Obama administration. Instead, Democrats ramped up its funding and operations repeatedly.

Please read Sharif’s thread ⬇️🧵

Playing an old version of Football Manager (FM20) over the holidays and it’s amusing how dramatically different wonderkid progression can be from real world player development. If only Skipp had actually developed like this, eh @bkeithb.bsky.social ? Barca paid 66 million for him on deadline day ha

Bro…

the illinois department of corrections issued an emergency rule banning physical mail into state prisons, agreed that there’s no evidence the ban will cut down on contraband, and then made the emergency rule permanent when the general assembly failed to pass a mail ban law.

“The fight was always invested with an aura of legality.” This is Parenti citing Schumpeter’s 1919 analysis of the Roman empire’s behavior.

This HUGE NEWS is flying under the radar & it's top headline stuff. 🔴 On Thursday while giving an interview with Hannity, Trump said we are going to start land attacks on Mexico. Yes, you read that right. We're going to attack Mexico. mexicosolidarity.com/trump-says-u...

I'm traveling to a more expensive state in a week to visit my fiance, and I only have like $100 in checking. Groceries will be at least $400 for the time I'm away, and that's not the only thing I'll need to purchase. #HelpSky #TransCrowdfund #MAV #HelpFolksLive2026

American thing happens in America etc etc

The brownshirts have been disappearing people to concentration camps and physically attacking people—citizen and non-citizen alike. And now they’ve flat out murdered someone. Your advice is “stand down.” Your response is fucking useless, Walz. Absolutely embarrassing and useless fucking advice.

noor was the first palestinian living in gaza i ever spoke to. what about you? she made her original account well before 7Oct23. she’s been hurt, insulted, disgusted by the way people who run this site (and plenty of users) have treated her and her son since then REPARATIONS: bit.ly/support-noor

And now she (Ruaa) is banned.

Literally what friends and colleagues are for, FFS this is all nonsense.

I’ve never been fond of the Christmas period and the 2025 edition has especially sucked. Well wishes to everyone else who’s having a rough go of it at the moment.

Again, if you haven’t read the link below, we went from having 1/2 our rent paid for ~3 years & food assistance each month via my child’s district to having it stop suddenly for all families - with no time to plan ahead, etc. I’m also working full-time & not even getting paid rn. Plz consider🙏

My wish for 2026 and beyond is for a lot of you to come up with better answers for the questions Sharif is posing.

Not merely an increase in “pressure on Venezuela”, but in fact a violation of international law vis-a-vis unlawful acts of aggression. This is true of: the extrajudicial killings, the tanker seizures, the threatened blockade, and the communicated threat of kinetic strikes and ground invasion.

This Senator is 1 of 28 Senate Dems to vote yes on the 2026 NDAA and she thinks you’re too tired or ignorant to see through her “saving <particular> children” rhetoric. Pretty gross. You don’t deserve a pat on the back for green lighting an on-book $901,000,000,000 war budget, Amy.
