NJ governor Mikie Sherrill's only been in office ~4 months, but since she sent State Police in riot gear to arrest Delaney protesters—before announcing how she'd address hunger and labor strikers' demands—residents who just voted her in are talking about ousting her. my latest @us.theguardian.com

One of the very first things that were gutted/interrupted by this admin was screw worm management but, in particular, the cooperative component with the Mexican government and agribusiness, who were desperate for maximum collaboration/management.

Seeing Rai’s coverage of the genocide in, and liberation of, Bangladesh radically changed my sense of what South Asian history “looked like”. An extraordinary life which brought so many other lives into the light.

Raghu Rai’s extraordinary images of the 1971 Bangladesh crisis his book "Refugees in India" captured the raw emotions and resilience of displaced people, and the human cost of conflict.

Horrifying. 100 strikes in 10 minutes across Lebanon, incl Beirut. Over 200 ppl killed and 1000+ injured by occupation's Operation "Eternal Darkness". Israel says no ceasefire on its part. Iran has responded saying Strait of Hormuz will not reopen unless ceasefire includes Lebanon & Gaza.

I know someone’s going to look at this and reference that tweet about how as Apartheid South Africa was falling, they bombed all their neighbors as an accelerationist gasp of dying empire. I know; but seeing this feels like Israel remains an unchecked death machine, no signs of stopping in sight.

One of dozens of videos coming out of Beirut. There are people under the rubble. Israel is committing multiple massacres

Cornish Mazraa Beirut just now. Israel is bombing throughout Lebanon

Post"Ceasefire" Negotiations will center on 10 points from Iran, incl: -Permanent end to the war - End to Israeli strikes in Lebanon - Lifting of all US sanctions on Iran - Iran would reopen Strait - Iran would establish rules & fees (2 million per ship split w Oman) for passage through Hormuz

We’re all waiting for the 8pm alarm as if Israel and the US are not massacring civilians, obliterating non-military infrastructures, destroying the world, every second leading up to whatever horror awaits the night.

The USA is the most malignant empire in human history.

It’s strange to scroll through this depraved timeline today and be confronted with so many invocations of “illegal.” As if “the law” and its juridical kith hold any relevancy or power three years into a live-streamed genocide.

"While there is no documented evidence that Iran has a nuclear weapon or is close to developing one, there is another state in the Middle East whose nuclear arsenal exists as an open secret. That state is, of course, Israel, and its nuclear arsenal, mondoweiss.net/2026/04/a-br...

Holding onto Roy like a life vest right now. “What shall we do then, those of us who are still alive? Burned and blind and bald and ill, carrying the cancerous carcasses of our children in our arms, where shall we go? What shall we eat? What shall we drink? What shall we breathe?”

Those in the imperial core owe the world much much more.

"The war in Lebanon, like the war in Iran, is something Israel wanted, campaigned for, and planned to carry out [for years]." Zeteo’s Mohammed Abdelbary explains why Israel has wanted to invade Lebanon for a long, long time. Subscribe to zeteo.com for more unfiltered journalism.

"Despite repression and assaults, dozens of worshippers managed to perform Eid prayers on Salah al-Din Street in occupied Jerusalem, after Israeli forces prevented them from holding prayers in the Bab al-Sahira area, while the closure of Al-Aqsa Mosque continues."(Eye on Palestine) #WestBank

Seeing videos of comrades blowing up weapons manufacturing plants and pictures of comrades breaking the siege to deliver aid to Cuba, all while I’m stooped over the stove caramelizing six onions for a giant serving of Mujadara. What a beautiful day, Eid Mubarak friends.

It’s precisely because of the anti-imperialist stance expressed by the workers that the us-zios bombed the South Pars gas fields. Workers also a symbol of resistance against US imperialism and for sovereignty even as they called for betterment of their conditions. Invaluable from Helyeh Doutaghi.

Afghans make up world’s largest refugee population. Nearly 1 in 7 refugees worldwide are Afghan, 90% of whom live in Iran, under current bombardment, and Pakistan, under “emergency” internment, with both nations regularly deporting refugee populations. Unbearable cruelty in every dimension.

The Associated Press@apnews.com · 5mo ago

Afghanistan’s deputy government spokesman said the death toll from an airstrike by Pakistan that hit a hospital treating drug users in the Afghan capital Kabul has increased to 400.

I find it completely shocking (though not entirely surprising in light of the shit show mainstream media has been the last 2 years) that we don't have plausible confirmation that Netanyahu is alive and USS Lincoln has not been disabled by Iran.

It’s that time of year when the media ecosystem that normalizes genocide, imperialism, and apartheid comes knocking on the doors of student organizers for comments and “perspectives”. Refuse assisting media institutions which imperil comrades around the world! Hold the line! Don’t collaborate!
