Discourse about to get annoying now that we know the Border Patrol agents who murdered Alex Pretti have Latine names, huh. With great reluctance, let me say the following for those who are shocked by or want to make something out of this fact: 1/

1. It is common wisdom in the southern borderlands that Latine BP agents are some of the most racist and abusive in practice. You get stopped by one of them, and you are almost certainly in for a bad time. 2/

Chile’s President-Elect, Jose Antonio Kast, not only had close ties to the Pinochet dictatorship that tortured & disappeared thousands of people, but his father was also a Nazi officer. Expectedly, many liberals & conservatives have congratulated Kast for defeating “communism.”

Here’s Trump’s official pardon of Juan Orlando Hernandez, the former Honduran president responsible for shipping hundreds of tons of cocaine to the US.

The scariest part of AI isn’t that it will dominate humans but that humans will use it to discredit all evidence that proves horrifying things are happening. Real audio recordings, images, and videos become AI & AI becomes real. Reality is thus denied. AI is counterinsurgency.

Wait, I thought bombing Venezuelan boats was to stop drug running. But we're pardoning one of the worst drug runners? How could hypocrisy be so blatant with no press calling it out and Congress ignoring it? What has happened to this country?

The Trump regime pardons the drug kings and corporate embezzlers, while committing war crimes against people on boats, and kidnapping workers.

The narco-state president Juan Orlando Hernández, who shipped hundreds of tons of cocaine to the US, was apparently released yesterday after Trump pardoned him. This is a reminder that narco-states are right wing and that the US has always supported them.

Central America will soon have two Palestinian presidents. Nasry “Tito” Asfura in Honduras and Nayib Bukele in El Salvador, both of whom will serve US imperialism and the neocolonial reconfiguration of the region. A person’s identity is never a guarantee of their politics.

Amilcar Cabral’s words are more relevant than ever: “Tell no lies. Expose lies whenever they are told. Mask no difficulties, mistakes, failures. Claim no easy victories.”

Israel is the largest American aircraft carrier in the world that cannot be sunk, does not carry even one American soldier, and is located in a critical region for American national security. —Alexander Haig, US Secretary of State under the Reagan Administration.

Hey I recognize that article 😉

George Jackson’s critique of liberalism’s counterinsurgency is more relevant than ever. “When any election is held it will fortify rather than destroy the credibility of the power brokers.” open.substack.com/pub/jairofun...

...the most essential value, because the most concrete, is first and foremost the land: the land which will bring them bread and, above all, dignity.” Therefore, it is indispensable that an insurgency’s political cause aligns with the people’s demands... open.substack.com/pub/jairofun...

Call it simplistic I don’t give a fuck but keeping a staunch supporter of an ethnonationalist genocidal state as the Commissioner of the NYPD is extremely problematic, to put it mildly.

The State certainly rules by wielding its sword but it solidifies its dominion with pen and paper, codified into laws that structure all spheres of social existence, including knowledge producing institutions. open.substack.com/pub/jairofun...

Israel has become a laboratory to test weapons, surveillance, and techniques for dispossession, genocide, and population control, all of which serve US imperialism greatly for these are then deployed within the US and in regions linked to its "national interests"… open.substack.com/pub/jairofun...

“the left’s history includes a parade of rhetorically brave figures — Sanders, AOC, and other Squad members — whose supposed courage dissolved when tested, leaving only theatrical posturing and habitual compromise.” tehrantimes.com/news/519943/...

Critics of decolonial thought say that decolonial scholarship essentializes western thought. These critics, however, never really give an honest answer why their favorite philosophers outright supported colonialism. It’s not surprising that philosophers today justify genocide.

Historically, enslaved and colonized people refusing and resisting the liberal reforms legal frameworks constitutive of international law was used as evidence that they were not ready to rule themselves. It was taken as evidence of their non-Western backwardness.

Fuck every journalist, politician, and academic whose only concern is Israeli families, while willfully ignoring the real pain and suffering of those being genocided. Fuck all of you!

Pretty accurate.

Thanks to the Palestinian resistance Israel released the hostages it had been torturing in its dungeons.

Happy Indigenous Peoples' Resistance Day

A reminder to submit your proposals to the Decolonial Conference by tomorrow. www.decolonialconference.org/call-for-pro...

Maria Machado represents the interests of the criollo/white ethnoclass that has dominated the region after our so-called independence and has always aligned itself with imperialism. It’s not surprising that Machado uses white nationalist rhetoric and defends western civilization.

While Trump kidnaps, dehumanizes, & deports Venezuelan immigrants, Maria Corina Machado dedicates the Nobel Peace Prize to him to give license to an invasion. This just gives you a glimpse of whose interests Machado is defending, and they’re not those of the people of Venezuela.

The Nobel Peace Prize should put Zohran Mamdani’s statement on Venezuela into perspective for those who were unwilling to listen to the critiques we made. But I’m convinced that far too many won’t ever give up their imperial worldview, way of being, and indifference.

The Nobel Peace Prize is a license to wage war

“They’re not going to give in unless there is a real, credible threat—a severe, imminent threat. And the only threat that makes them yield is the threat of the use of international force.” The Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Corina Machado referring to the Venezuelan government.

Over 40 million people around the world have died because of US and European sanctions since 1970. Anyone who calls for sanctions on their country is calling for the death of their people.

Please submit your proposals to the Decolonial Conference by October 12!!!

A reminder that the deadline for submissions is 2 days away! Make sure to submit and share with your networks! #decolonialconference

Lotta people jumping to celebrate this award without actually checking some things 👇

A reminder that US sanctions against Venezuela resulted in 40,000 deaths from 2017 to 2018 alone (@jasonhickel). That’s what Maria Corina Machado supports and that’s why she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

If you support US sanctions against Venezuela, you also support sanctioned death.

Actually, she’s a supporter of sanctioned death and a staunch supporter of Israel.

A supporter of genocide and genocidal ethnonationalist state won the Nobel Peace Prize.
