🚨 New footage shows explosions around Caracas, Venezuela, as parts of the city’s south near a major military base lost electricity. Low-flying aircraft were seen and heard from across the capital, according to Reuters.

who gives a shit about power levers. if you don't even attempt to start the process of impeachment, the fuck is the point of anything. "step on me daddy. please rig the next election, daddy" bsky.app/profile/squo...

Reminder that the UK is illegally withholding gold reserves essential to Venezuela’s economy. It has been looted from over and over: oil, gold, lithium . Blood is on the hands of not only the US regime but the whole west’s. Via @declassifieduk.org www.declassifieduk.org/why-is-venez...

Big congrats to the Nobel Committee for awarding the prize "for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy" just so she could immediately conspire with a foreign government to murder civilians on the high seas then invade and stage a coup.

This is not the first US imperial atrocity for oil —let’s not exceptionalize it— but wow is is it awful. And the violation of Venezuelans domestically in the name of a sovereign borders they actually dgaf about. As Aimee Cesaire put it— the price of imperialism is the empire’s own civilization.

There has not been a single second in the past 820 days that has shown “international law” to be anything other than an empty signifier of western hegemony. There’s nothing to rely on but the power of the masses, riots, strikes, and insurgent acts.

Wow— “Government silence is a statement…If the standard for airing a story becomes ‘the government must agree to be interviewed,’ then the government effectively gains control over the 60 Minutes broadcast. We go from an investigative powerhouse to a stenographer for the state.”

Hoping all the sick freaks addled enough to believe that some surveillance slop called “gait match” granted the perfect assailant, thus doxxed and endangered the life of a student just because he dared to be a Palestinian protesting on campus Rot ! (And get massively sued!!!)

Seeing a lot of neocon conspiracists “IDing” the brown shooter as a student & using the Uni scrubbing their page as proof. Take it from me: the only help a uni will provide you if doxxed is removing you from their public pages. They’re definitely just “protecting” this kid. Jfc.

Masked men wearing ICE vests—but who refused to present a warrant or identify themselves—roped off a construction site, trapping two men on a roof for hours in subzero temps. Protesters gathered. Masked men eventually left, and one man on the roof was taken away by ambulance kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

AS A PROFESSOR, I AM ASKING HOW ARE OUR STUDENTS SUPPOSED TO LEARN IN THESE CONDITIONS? HOW ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO GO TO SCHOOL AND TAKE EXAMS KNOWING SOMEONE MIGHT JUST SHOW UP WITH AN EASY TO ACQUIRE AUTOMATIC WEAPON? HOW??????????

truly a decrepit nation unwilling to protect and sustain life. endless hand-wringing in the campus culture wars about whether universities are intellectually rigorous enough or made too unsafe by protests, meanwhile gunmen can rove into a finals hall an end a dozen lives.

Philly!!! Rally in an hour @ Independence Mall

One day away from this year's In Solidarity with Palestine roundtable from the CAWS + EO teams, where I'm honored to share, in the company of so many brilliant comrades, a set of reflections on academic Classicism and its reverence for death under the heading "Anticipating an Antigone in Gaza"

Grateful to @azadessa.bsky.social and the Middle East Eye team for covering the insanity at Princeton and its ongoing prejudicial witch hunt of pro-Palestine students www.middleeasteye.net/news/how-pri...

🚨Join us on zoom on Feb. 18 for an urgent conversation in solidarity w 🇵🇸 on the theme "In the Ruins of History" w Fadel Alutol @gmandreou.bsky.social Yasmeen Elkhoudary Marc-André Haldimann, Atalia Omer @aditilrao.bsky.social Ali Shahwan, S. Sayyid & @luxmea.bsky.social rsvp: tinyurl.com/nhd8n34h

Princeton’s prejudicial prosecution of the 13 who occupied Clio Hall for 🇵🇸 continues. Because I personally held ground and refused to plead guilty, the courts are forcing 12 comrades who would have had their cases dismissed to stand trial too. Help us hold them accountable: piad.nationbuilder.com

9 months later, Princeton still refuses to drop charges against 13 students who held a peaceful sit-in protest in support of Palestine. Please sign in support of the students, especially @aditilrao.bsky.social who's bearing the brunt of the university's ire piad.nationbuilder.com?recruiter_id...

On the night executioners killed Joseph Corcoran, a glowing inflatable snowman stood on the front lawn of the Indiana State Prison wearing a top hat and frozen smile.

absolute dereliction of duty and of solidarity

Biden has yet to pardon anyone on federal death row, yet to pardon Steven Donzinger, but he has pardoned his son and this insult-to-life judge who made millions sending kids to juvie. No hell could be hot enough, no punishment too severe for Joe Biden. www.citizensvoice.com/2024/12/12/b...

Joe Bidens pardoning a corrupt 72 year old judge who fed thousands of children into our nightmarish carceral system demonstrates that he does indeed have some notion of solidarity

This is how Jabalia camp is destroyed. Everything was destroyed.

Love Is Blind contestants just unionized before Princeton graduate workers.

Kyle Rittenhouse is allowed to get away with murder. Daniel Penny is allowed to get away with murder. Cops get away with murder all the time. The people pearl clutching about this CEO killing are really concerned with who was killed, not the act of killing.

In honor of Nikki Giovanni passing:

Dril…our cassandra…our nostradamus…our last hope…

freedom of the press and freedom to protest are fundamentally the same struggle

people are def less happy about the united ceo being shot on here (pejorative)

For those shopping today –  there's now an app to check a company's complicity in Israel's crimes and help you support @bdsmovement.bsky.social's priority consumer boycott campaigns bdsmovement.net/BDS-Has-Part...

Anne in 2002 you called for the killing of Palestinian journalists for the crime of simply making Israel and the US look bad. This year Israel, consistent with your position, has killed 150+ journalists in Gaza. Is it your opinion that killing Palestinian journalists “suppresses real journalism”?

Video and caption from Hala Jaber on Twitter: "Residents of Aita al-Shaab border line village remove the Zionist flag purposely raised by the IOF...The flag now sits to the ground where it belongs, where people returning will step on it in disdain." x.com/HalaJaber/st...

If your employer says "we're a family," or "we have an open door policy," you need a union.

Do you remember when Israel said its operation in Rafah would be “limited”? Here they are today! Six months after they started. Hello USA. Hello World!!

🚨 Whole Foods workers in Philly are unionizing!!! 🚨 There have been multiple efforts to unionize the high-end grocery chain throughout the years, but these workers are ready to take on Bezos. Don’t bet against Philly!! My story for @inthesetimesmag.bsky.social: inthesetimes.com/article/whol...

Sharing this video from Linda Mamoun posted on Twitter: "This is Mamoun Street in central Beirut. Today Israel committed a massacre here on this street where my family’s house is. Israel is a criminal state. Every Israeli citizen who supports this is a criminal."

"Once in America, we wake up, take up the struggle right here, the entire world can finally break free of this imperialist nightmare" from Rashid's @prisonradio.bsky.social commentary, The Earth’s Wretched break free

Y'all, these college journalists are killing it. Check out this great series about Gov. Shapiro's attempts to influence Penn that is based on documents obtained using PA's public records law. College journalism is real journalism.

Lmao it’s v funny what fetterman posts on twitter versus here, love the idea of this genocidal oaf doing a little curation of his own

Gaza’s brave and incredible journalists. Many killed and injured by Israel with execution targets on their backs like Hossam Shabat, victims of Israel’s genocide of Palestinians, that they both live, and report on. Absolutely horrific.

Horrifying footage coming out of North Gaza tonight. Seeing plenty of documentation on twitter and very little here; if this site is to be anything, then it must amplify Palestinians and the ongoing genocide now.

our ancestors accomplished more, with less, against worse. stay locked in.

Wow. Blaming unions, as they appear to do, rather than owning that budgets reflect a university’s values, is a choice.
