Yemen is where the Obama admin ordered the Hellfire bombing of a busy cafe bc a 16 year old US citizen went there and his unidentified cellphone had once called another unidentified cellphone number that was on a list that Obama approved for assassination.
One of the main recurring stories of March was so many black ppl dying from COVID bc they went to the hospital w severe breathing issues and were sent away.
I have two bachelors and am one year away from my doctorate and I've been working in fast food for like 7 years. Even with student loans and an assistantship, grad schools will *not* pay you enough to live. I make slightly over half the federal poverty line.
The policy throughout Imperial China for hundreds of years was to execute any Portuguese on sight bc they would kidnap women and children into slavery at literally every opportunity. The Chinese were right to do this.
Linda Thomas-Greenfield could at any point fail to veto and resign her position immediately afterwards. She is making a conscious, deliberate choice fully independent of the instructions being communicated to her from the State Dept. She is a criminal.
In extremely American fashion: the Church Rock incident happened 7 years before Chernobyl, has never been cleaned or contained, and has caused a greater amount of human suffering than Chernobyl ever did. Nobody has even heard of it.
if chernobyl happened here it would just stay fucked up forever. Obama would pretend to drink the chernobyl water and that would be the last we'd hear about it

The dance thing started as a way for people to get serious messages out without being flagged by the algorithm and taken down or suppressed. Like all things tho, it has been consumed, digested, and regurgitated into newer, worse forms.
So much of contemporary capitalist politics is ppl saying "that's unrealistic, society could never exist this way" when you're talking about getting rid of shit that didn't exist before 1987.
Today is Prime Day. Using any Amazon service, from streaming Prime shows to Twitch to Whole Foods, is crossing an important picket line. It can wait until tomorrow.

His dad, Anwar al Awlaki, was already confirmed dead for two weeks. He had not heard from him and left home to meet with his cousins and see if they had heard anything. Like a responsible kid, he took his phone with him.
The state and federal govt refused to declare a disaster and gave extremely little aid. They stopped shipping in clean water after two years. At least 30% of the Navajo nation is still using radioactive contaminated water today.
Come and See perfectly captures this boys club locker room derangement. The Nazis in the death squad are full of grotesque little goblins cackling and jumping around, men delighted and aroused by violence who don't know where to put that energy except in more killing.
The Chinese only stopped bc the Portuguese colonized Malacca and that was too close a base of power to continue risking a diplomatic incident. China shifted to hanging them once they were inevitably caught as pirates and slavers bc they just would not stop or pause for any reason
"I could have followed my legal mandate to take action to end genocide, but it would have cost me my job so I didn't" is literally a crime of genocide.

Complaining is literally the only reason they gave an inch on this. We'll keep fucking complaining until they do it right. They explicitly did bit do this out of the kindness of their hearts, it was 100% due to public pressure.
Settler colonialism depends on the existence of frontiers where they send men to mature them through conflict and slaughter, and simultaneously produces men arrested by adolescent immaturity. The obsession with underwear. The cackling pretend play with the toys of dead children.
The Israeli army is an immoral and perverted army. Israeli soldiers who entered a house in Gaza and shared the underwear of the people who used to live in the house on Instagram.
Everyone should spit in the faces of these immoral perverted zionist soldiers.

After Malacca, the Portuguese continued trying to set up trading posts and forts in China by diplomacy, by bribery, and by force. All were laughably brushed away, and Chinese military forces captured and adopted Western arquebuses for good measure.

Kim Jong-un is not head of state since the DPRK doesn't have one. He is not a government administrator at all. He is the chairman of the WPK party and head of the military. That means he oversees two responsibilities:

I didn't clock that account as a Zionist at first bc Israel does this more often by entire orders of magnitude. Like yeah, dude, you have arrived at the driving force of the Palestinian Resistance fighters.
What shifted after a few decades were deals cut with local administrators for the Portuguese to provide privateering and anti-piracy services, and they (for the most part) restricted slave raids to ethnic minorities and the Japanese.
Portuguese traders in Macau monopolized trade between China and Japan bc Japanese pirates likewise lead to a ban on direct trade. The Portuguese likewise fucked up their Japanese monopoly bc of nonstop slave raids, invasion attempts, and missionary proselytizing.
@stltoday
"Days after the tornado toppled the warehouse’s 11-inch thick concrete walls" this makes it seem like it was a sound structure and not one where the weight of the roof holds it all together with no load-bearing support. This wasn't even the first time an Amazon warehouse did this
Once Japan banned foreigners, Macau was a dead end. Losing Malacca to the Dutch then severed all Portuguese trade routes to Europe. Macau was thrown open to all European traders, and it wouldn't be important again until the slave trade resumed in the mid-19th century.
As Meghan McCain's nonsense grift makes the rounds again, remember Nguyễn Xuân Đài, who shot down John McCain as a lieutenant in an anti-air battery. He was made a Hero of the People's Armed Forces.
Last addendum, the targeted killing program is still ongoing. The Signature Strike program that killed Abdulrahman - of exponentially expanding a list of fully unknown phone numbers and their contacts as valid targets, with no field identification - officially "ended" in 2021.

This tweet's taking off, so read how the Yemen Armed Forces and Ansarallah movement continue the century-long struggle for Yemeni independence and liberation here:
Recent actions by the Ansarallah, while serving a clear strategic purpose, is also a symbol of the Yemen's refusal to bow to the same powers that have kept it impoverished and downtrodden for a hundred years.

This is why the IOF bombed Rafah during the Super Bowl. It wasn't to conceal shit. It was MEANT to be seen. It allowed them to exercise the power they have in their impunity, and they delight in it.
Just gonna remind everyone that this is happening bc Hong Kong residents don't want to extradite a man to Taiwan for taking his pregnant girlfriend to a non-extraditable country, immediately murdering her, and stuffing her into a suitcase that he threw in some bushes.

A good manager would tell him to cool off in the back for a minute while he took orders. Like having a manager take over to deal with shitty customers is standard fast food practice.
You should read Marx and Lenin, and you should read writers from Du Bois to Audre Lorde and beyond, and you should read Dee Brown and Glen Coulthard and -- y'know, read everyone. Read broad. Just read, in whatever order is gonna work for you. I promise it does not matter which.
@thoneycombs
I don't feel like this is even true, either. Baby boomers did home improvements but they didn't have to deal with ratty apartments and landlords that refuse to fix things.
The idealized masculinity of the settler colony is the tan, grizzled warrior relaxing deep into the armchair of his mortgaged suburban mancave, coddled and ready to beat to death all that which displeases him.

Absolutely. There was no such thing as a Portuguese trader on the Indian Ocean, they blasted apart every ship they came across from the Cape to Malaysia. They enforced absolute naval supremacy, then any time they touched land they got incredibly owned bc everyone was furious.

It should not use media when the creator is explicitly against its use for that purpose. A lot of this shit has egregious violations as well, like how Stable Diffusion keeps generating Getty Images watermarks bc it stole all the public previews for commercial use.

Bc all grad students should be transparent about their funding: I make LSU's minimum stipend of $11,500/yr. Then once it's taxed LSU takes back around $4k in fees. After tax I bring home in the ballpark of $7500. I only get paid 9 months out of the year.

So the woman who got XR to spread lies abt the Bolivian Amazon fire and push for this coup is the fucking great-granddaughter of Hilarión Daza, a criollo dictator who launched a military coup in the 1870s, lost Bolivia's coast in a war w Chile, and fled to exile in France.

Yeah we know. If we weren't completely alienated from our labor we might actually want to be more productive, but most office workplaces are structured to take advantage of that at the cost of burning you out. They can always hire someone else.
I'm glad MAS is leading with this message. The fascists haven't actually gone anywhere. The police and military especially aren't about to be any more loyal to MAS than they were.
Whilst we should celebrate the triumph of democracy in Bolivia, we must also continue to remain vigilant:
