Like I don't even get why people are cooking up stupid shit about Morocco and Spain (I do know why) when there's really no defensible position here except that people should be allowed free movement.

Every Gender Studies major deserves an apology for every joke made at their expense. People studied STEM because everything was science and engineering. People studied CompSci because everything was computers. People studied Gender because as it turns out, everything actually is Gender.

After NHK showed Vietnamese residents helping rescue a woman in Yatsushiro after this week's Kumamoto earthquake, far-right nativists in Japan launched a denialist campaign, claiming only Japanese people helped her while the Vietnamese residents "panicked."

This report by @attackerman.bsky.social in @zeteo.com on the US's invisiblised, 20-year war in Somalia is very worth your time, connecting that fruitless (and still expanding) anti-terror war with the Trump admin's dehumanisation of Somalis at home, as well as the (again, expanding) War on Iran.

Why Is No One Talking About the ‘New War’ Trump Is Waging in Somalia?

While the administration hounds Somali immigrants at home, it’s pummeling Somalia with an ‘unprecedented’ volume of airstrikes, but you might not know it given the silence from our media and Congress.

Thinking about the Khabarovsk trials and how they happen after the ussr doesn't get to paperclip the unit 731 guys because they've already been paperclipped

Much as we should acknowledge Actually Existing DSA FoPo, lets not ignore Actually Existing Liberal FoPo. One of those ran the country and shipped $10s of billions of weapons to Israel during a genocide and the other is mostly online people LARPing or endorsing city counselor races.

Pro-Israel, pro-Saudi, pro-Emirati, pro-Egypt, doesn't disclose donors, has an actual, literal genocidaire on its board, is more influential than people like to admit, is technically not in charge of anyone etc.

the cold war's polarisation has created the most stupid long-term impressions of what communism is. are we talking abt an economic system? or is it an aesthetic? oftentimes it's the latter. for Vietnam's case, i wrote this very digestible article as an intro: reneshaf.wordpress.com/2023/04/30/v...

VIETNAM CONTAINS MULTITUDES

The struggle with narratives, media rhetoric, and linguistic oppression have sectioned Vietnam into multiple ways.  For a simple click on your search engine of choice, you can compare the results b…

found this reply as a response to the QT post below. and as a citizen of this allegedly "communist" state, or as it claimed on the title - a socialist republic. it's genuinely tiring & rather stupid having to explain to westerners over and over again that we no longer have the USSR in 2026.

open all borders. stop having them be closed 🇺🇦🇱🇹🇵🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿@dov.bsky.social · 2w ago

no but like honestly though we have been too generous with people trying to reclaim the word 'communist.' you're not a communist. that's not real and has not been for 36 years. anyone claiming they are one is doing the equivalent of claiming they are an angel or a neanderthal

What is fascinating to me is this belief that somehow we non-Jews are *obliged* to just sit around and wait for Israeli Jews to discover "liberal Zionism", which is an entirely Anglo-American Jewish ideology which has never had purchase in Israel and does nothing for us anyway.

There is one Zionist party that is even theoretically partitionist in any real way and together they and the Palestinian citizen-supported parties are going to win around 20/120 Knesset seats. A supermajority of Israeli Jews love apartheid. It's just what it is.

I realize that sounds elitist, and that's because it is, but why the fuck would I share the obviously private details of my shit with some idiot bitching that Canadians are not cupping his nuts for posting Orange Man Bad in response to an assault on their sovereignty?

Also, the US is a signatory to multiple international legal conventions which prohibit the kinds of crimes Netanyahu has indisputably committed, and the Genocide Accountability Act is a US law which enshrines the principle of universal jurisdiction— no need to rely on ICC warrant.

A lot of people on Twitter (and here) like to simultaneously say that international law is less about rules and more about power, and also are now complaining that Mamdani is violating the sanctity of the law by saying he will explore his powers to arrest a man wanted for starving children to death.
