Spoke to @IChotiner @NewYorker about what concessions Iran would want in any negotiations to end the war, whether the U.S. and Israel have the same objectives in Iran, and why an off-ramp - let alone a permanent peace - may be so hard to find. www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a...

One facet of our neocolonial world that really alienates me is that ppl from the global north are constantly trying to get away from home, whereas ppl in the global south are doing anything they possibly can to be able to go home.

Y'know those passages in economic history books where they're like "a series of inflationary crises severely eroded the purchasing power of the toiling classes in the early 21th century" yeah you've been living through that paragraph for most of the last decade

And people dare to get angry at "Death to the USA" and "Death to the IDF" chants

Reminds me- early in the Gaza response at USAID, my colleague was tasked by USAID response leadership with providing the location of our NGO partners in Gaza to the IDF, ostensibly for "deconfliction." Those locations were soon struck by the IDF.

Since the 1st week of the war, the goals of the war have shifted from regime change and the breakup of the Iranian state to, more or less, returning the global oil markets to status quo antebellum. I wrote about how that happened, and what it means, here:

Of course gringos now are coming to Mexico to get gas taking advantage of our government subsidies because they can't afford it in the US thanks to the government they chose and the rogue ethno state that they back up.

Yitzhak Kroizer, Israeli MK and member of Israel's governing coalition, defends the summary execution of two Palestinian children by Israeli soldiers who shot them in the head: "in Jenin, there are no innocent civilians. In Jenin, there are no innocent children."

it's not like the US attacked them during the last talks and then launched a decapitation strike, right

Let me translate this: 90% chance we see a US ground invasion of some sort by next week

Amiguis, mi prima anda desempleada y anda vendiendo estas golosinas para alivianarse. Si en su bondad cabe, háganle un pedido.

have fun, Vance

This video was apparently aired on Israeli TV. It shows Axis of Resistance leaders waiting in line to be killed by Israel. At the end, the camera zooms out and we see that the next leader waiting to be killed by Israel is Erdogan. Seems Israel is already planning the next war.

There is something to the claim that Americans are among the most propagandized people on the planet.

And not wrong in the sense of "this is someone doing bad science," but in the sense that the ideological-institutional framework they've been indoctrinated into believing is humbly self-correcting is structurally incapable of endogenously making the correct decision.

The main point in talking about eugenics as a science isn't to air science's dirty laundry. It's to give scientists who might otherwise be convinced that their empirical findings justify heinous shit on the basis of "that's just the facts" a moment of pause that maybe the science is in fact wrong

No esperaba que Chainsaw Man terminara hoy. Estuve un minuto sin saber qué sentir después de terminar el último capítulo.

At least 1,243 people have been killed by drone strikes in Haiti as of January 21. Drone strikes. In Haiti. www.hrw.org/news/2026/03...

Yo no sé cómo la gente tiene ganas de vivir, de verdad

Today my students discussed whether and to what extent Islamophobia and anti-Arab racism play a similar structural role in Europe to the role antisemitism played in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Then the Israeli Foreign Ministry just goes and tweets out an Islamophobic octopus.

"No worries if you need it, take it, and after the war bring the money." ملت پیروز🪻🌱

If we see 1900's nationalist antisemitism not just as hatred of Jews qua Jews, but an ideology where Jews stand for cosmopolitan threats to the hard borders of the nation-state, we see why the Israeli right had to reinvent political antisemitism from first principles. www.haaretz.com/world-news/e...

Remember when his Sieg Heil was just a gesture of heartfelt joy?

Speaking of: Netanyahu and others are openly talking of applying the “Gaza model” to Lebanon. The “Gaza model” means genocide. www.jpost.com/israel-news/...

Are you ugly? Or are you addicted to comparing your appearance to people who are professionally fuckable?

the hypocrisy of the liberal westerner is truly repulsive

I don't know about you but when I encounter a term and am then informed by my peer that it's basically a neonazi dogwhistle being slipped into leftist circles by bad faith interlocutors, I just use a different term instead. It's easy for me

Poca gente tan racista como los blancos dizque liberales canadienses, específicamente de Ontario lol

Anyway, I don't want allies. I want traitors.

No matter how many times this kind of person insists on being an "ally", they aren't and they don't care about queer people or women except as props for their performance.

hey i need to pop out for a sec can you keep an eye on him for me thanks

Chuck Norris is dead. Here's Bruce Lee beating him. RIP to the Dragon. youtu.be/kmgcqOM9rG0?...

You feel upset as an American? You are not comfortable? Well there are countless innocent people being murdered and terrorised daily by your regime and its closest ally. I am going to hold your hand and tell you in the nicest way possible that your comfort is irrelevant.

American discourse on the heinous crimes being committed by America & Israel against us is centered around American perception & American feelings & American perspective. What we see on the timeline is Americans discussing how they are affected because of what America and Israel are doing to us.

The Armenian lobby is powerful, and it's funny that they got the State of Louisiana to recognize the independence of the Artsakh Republic. I'd consider it more weird if we gave Armenia $150 billion in military aid to genocide Azeris and then we started a war with Turkey that killed 1000s of ppl

Look, I may have disagreed with Chuck Norris‘s politics, but that doesn’t mean I can’t also acknowledge he was an untalented actor who made shitty movies. RIP

An Iranian woman films her neighborhood being bombed by Israel. As she seeks cover, Israel strikes again, in what appears to be a double-tap strike. The woman films her own death. Some Iranians in the diaspora dance and celebrate this, believing these are democracy bombs...

“Tehran had been preparing for a large U.S. attack.. It based its strategy on a plan to cause maximum chaos in hopes of restoring deterrence—which is exactly what it has done. Iran is also using the war to bolster its domestic position.” - Mohammed Tabaar www.foreignaffairs.com/iran/how-ira...

Perfect

It's going to get harder and harder as time goes by, but always be reminding people that Israel and the United States literally *chose* to do all this Iran was not presenting an imminent threat to either of them, or the Gulf, before they killed their head of state 19 days ago

This is true, however I think Putin has also done bad things, so let's not praise him uncritically

My cousin, one of the strongest people I know, called me for the first time since the USraeli attacks. Her voice was strong, but her tale of death and destruction around her was horrifying. Without internet, we don’t hear of what is going on in Iran, but it’s on a scale that puts Gaza to shame.

The fracture in the maga world is between zionist antisemites versus the anti-zionist antisemites

Eight year old Mustafa Bani Odeh. His parents and two siblings murdered in front of him by plainclothed Israeli soldiers, while he was beaten up by them. West Bank. The same unit executed two Palestinians three months ago after they surrendered. Every. Day.
