Whenever the Europeans/US have gone to war (sometimes wars of extermination) against black/brown people, they've called it “police action”. Since the Hague convention in fact. That is why the Hague banned the use of Dum Dum bullets in wars against the “civilised” but not against Asians and Africans.

Razor wire is "spreading like a cancer" across the border lands, posing grave risks of entanglement and death to wildlife, including jaguars and ocelots, while doing little to stop migrants' crossings. tucson.com/news/local/s...

being consistently most vitriolic loud angry person on social media is not a credit to your leftist credentials it just makes people not want to organize with you the most radical leftists i have the privilege to call comrades are some of the kindest people. knowing who to be angry at is important

Imagine having your parents brutally murdered and then having to do this because the fucking President of the United States is so disgusting.

this is giving very very strong Emperor Maximilian I potential, but let us hope for a speedrun

“If a woman dares to show herself in public in any way, then she can and will be sexually harassed with the aid of genAI-driven tools that can easily turn her face into highly realistic pornography” is an absolute red-alarm human rights disaster

I was having late holidays dinner with family and can't figure out the discourse on this website today but it seems rancid and unpleasant

it's so entirely beside the point of everything but it's really really funny how much this lady not only won't get what she wants but that she believed these people of all people would deliver it to her

the whole lowlife lot. They take what they want because they can and they feel entitled to it

I was grinding my teeth about it in the car, then later heard a clip of Bouie say it out loud: This is the worldview of a rapist

The latest death toll is already above 80, with Cubans making up nearly half of that number.

Why there's no hegemon in MENA and there's definitely not one in Latin America. Yes the US has, can, and likely will continue to impose its will via brute force but it is a testament to the degrading buy-in that the Americans have become so erratic and brazen.

the US never becomes chaotic enough to alter the de facto order in which the it has the "right" to do whatever it wants in the americas 9/11 diverted attention for a couple decades and now it swings back where all the greediest assholes want it to be

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

Fantastic views of the Basin and Range (Schell Creek Range, Spring Valley, and Snake Range, Nevada) from my eastbound flight earlier this week.⚒️

Director of the CIA is in the room but you have OSINTdefender's twitter page up on the screen

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

Million-year-old seashells preserved in siltstone.

Open Veins of Latin America would be a terrific book to read with others if you have the bandwidth to organizing a book discussion.

40 people (at least) died. It's the official policy of these newsrooms that Latin American lives aren't worth anything. Again, if you still pay for an NYT subscription I think you're trash.

You ever think about how the Roman Senate kept meeting centuries into the reigns of emperors. Hanging out, shooting the shit, giving speeches, and play-acting that their positions of privilege remained positions of power.

I really think that if you're a journalist who knew about it beforehand and you didn't report on it, you're a monster

Look what’s happening in the front yard!

it's not even the usual unity for war when under threat, americans* just love war. they love beating people up and asserting dominance, enamoured with their weapons and propaganda. they love to rally behind the flag as an instrument of vulgar power. *you know which kind I mean

to anyone wondering whether the decision to come out in favor of this or condemn it will look worse, historically speaking, may I refer you to *gestures to the entire history of american foreign policy and also the track record of the goons in office*

12+ hours later we finally get an estimate of how many Venezuelans were killed

I think we underestimate the impact that joyless corporatism has on society

The Canadian government celebrates the US committing the crime of aggression against Venezuela, in violation of international law and the UN Charter, even as it calls for respect for international law. I’m not surprised: Carney took a similar approach when the US illegally attacked Iran last year.

And the world market is currently experiencing a massive glut that may collapse a bunch of Gulf state development plans. It makes no sense in the short- or mid-term!

VP Delcy Rodriguez, whom Trump indicated earlier today was collaborating with the US government, is live on television right now. Earlier reports that she's in Russia are false. She's in Caracas with the rest of the cabinet. Rodriguez: "We will never again be a colony for any empire"

this is true and I am sorry about your mentions.

What if none of these things is a distraction from the other things and instead they're all just horrible things

Protest at White House ✊ ✊🏽 ✊🏻 ✊🏾 ✊🏿

canada will sell the US everything it wants anyway not the same

I'll pick on france specifically because france but all these countries sound like "we strongly condemn this violation of international law we've also done several times and would do again"

the reason they don’t bother to manufacture the consent beforehand is that everyone just sort of does it for them post-facto now

A big mob boss just took out a small mob boss

We orchestrated the overthrow of a democratically elected Guatemalan president in 1954. The result was a 36 year-long civil war, hundreds of thousands of deaths and disappearances, and genocide against the indigenous population.

The brutality.

the list of countries in latin america the US has overthrown without asking anyone else includes most of the countries in latin america how many americans even know about brazil or uruguay or ecuador, not that they care about anyone or anything

they made him a fucking home movie about their little op, of course they fucking did

The most insipid and dumbest dystopia.

I'm deeply sorry to the people of Venezuela. There is no opposition party in the United States to counter the fascist regime's actions and the population is easily demagogued.

machado: I am ready for the people to welcome me as their new puppet president trump: yeah I'm the president of venezuela now too
