The largest mass funeral ever in their history has taken place in Gaza. 112 civilians who were killed on November 22, 2023, but whose bodies were trapped under rubble for two and a half years. Where is this on mainstream media?

Watched the Odyssey last night. Too long, had to pee 3 times and pissed off the guy next to me. Didn't know the movie was filmed in Morocco occupied Western Sahara which is unfortunate. I mean it was a good movie and all, but some are calling it the best movie ever made and im like chill out.

NEW: Israel has imprisoned an American teen. Soldiers raided Adam's West Bank home right before his sister’s grad party. They ignored his US passport. As they took him, they blew kisses at his mom. Adam is now the second American in Israeli prison. Trump just hosted Netanyahu for the eighth time.

Israel Has Imprisoned a 16-Year-Old Palestinian-American Boy for Two Weeks

Adam Karakrah is one of at least two Americans in Israeli prison – both held while Trump hosted Netanyahu for the eighth time.

Kazakhstan has released the first Amur tiger in the wild in more than 70 years to help restore the extinct Caspian tiger to Central Asia. The restoration project is being done through an MoU signed between Kazakhstan and Russia in 2022.

The less squatters on occupied Palestine, the better. Also a sign that the benefits given to Jewish colonists is heing outweighed by the resistance, by the neoliberal turn of local government, and other factors. The ones who stay will be the most genocidal and most fascist.

Israel suffers record emigration wave, with almost 270,000 leaving since 2023 - https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/israel-suffers-record-emigration-wave-almost-270000-leaving-2023

I made dinner for my abuser a bunch of times. You have to play nice while you're planning your escape so you don't get dead. Max Miller is a textbook abuser.

Powerful words. I know this fight differently - I'm battling a spinal tumor threatening permanent paralysis. My journey is on my page for anyone who wants to follow.

My thoughts on our recent episode on the war seems to be close to the mark. The US did all this bravado, saying they will destroy Iran, and then sent a last minute peace offer, which Iran refused. There is simply no reason to negotiate with a nation of beasts, until they come begging for mercy.

🇮🇷 NEW: Iran’s Foreign Ministry says Strait of Hormuz will only open when US stops all its violations

🔸Iran said it is not currently negotiating with the United States, but is holding bilateral talks with Oman to establish a temporary shipping route through the Strait of Hormuz to ensure the safe passage of vessels.

🔸Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said the negotiations concern only Iran and Oman as the two coastal states, while other countries may play either a constructive or destructive role.

🔸Baghaei stressed that “agreeing on a shipping route is a necessary condition, but not a sufficient one, for reopening the Strait of Hormuz.”

🔸He said the Strait has remained disrupted since February 28, 2026, when the U.S. and Israel launched their military assault on Iran, adding:

 ➤ “As long as the United States continues its malicious actions, as long as the maritime siege of Iran continues, as long as the United States’ military aggression against Iran and its interests continues, and as long as all the violations that the United States has committed during this period continue, then, of course, no significant changes will occur in the situation in the Strait of Hormuz.”

🔸Baghaei added that negotiations with Oman are limited to the Strait of Hormuz, while issues between Iran and the United States would only be addressed at a later stage, depending on how the situation develops.

Saudi Arabia has officially screwed itself by attacking Iranian militias in Iraq and restarting their war with the Houthis. The general consensus with Saudi authorities is that they are "equals" with the US & Israel and will be treated as partners that won't be abandoned; they are wrong.

As we go on this century, more and more people are going to be immigrating to the global north. They will come because of climate, because the west's barbarity in sw asia and Africa, and the fascist right who is ascending in Europe and America will use it to justify the emerging police state.

The images coming from Ceuta are unacceptable. We cannot allow anyone to come to our Union without abiding by our rules. Dangerous crossings must stop immediately. Smuggling networks must be dismantled. And returns must be swift, as our rules allow.

Ceuta is in Africa, was a part of Morocco before Spain and Portugal conquered it. I have a feeling this "thousands of military age men crossing borders" shtick that turns even the most woke lib in the west into a genocidal maniac towards muslims will work once again on European politics.

🇪🇸 Terrified Ceuta woman pleads for troops “We’re alone”: We need the military on the streets. They are not here. We are alone. We cannot call the police or the Civil Guard because they are overwhelmed. We need urgent help. I am surrounded. I am scared.

During America colonialism in MN, they didnt have enough people to settle the state, so they relied primarily on German settlers. The Dakota people particularly despised the germans, who were shocked the Dakota were even there. They began calling them "Eyasica" or "those with a bad language"

Maybe the answer to 21st century fascism is just old-school rocks, boards, and baseball bats on a night fortuitously full of dipshits yelling "Jews will not replace us." In that case, SM might actually be the sugar that delivers the medicine. Anyways. Great fucking episode, gents!

Sometimes a leap forward which "changes everything" actually just reverts the status quo to a time before. Perhaps the new age of internet activism can be best converted by abstaining altogether. Would one organize a workers' strike via the company newspaper's confidentials/ads section?
