World War 3 isn’t starting; it’s just that the veil that covered the perpetual state of war fostered by the West against communism, against Global South liberation, and for oil and mineral resources has been ripped away. We see now that the world as we know it IS war.

Covid constitutes the largest mass disabling event in the United States since the Americans with Disabilities Act became law in 1990.
Now, the Trump administration’s anti-worker and anti-disability turn has created a climate of fear and difficulty around Long Covid accommodations. motherjones.com/politics/202…

Pull the Thread. The corruption record of Flávio Bolsonaro, the Brazilian senator who fled to Trump’s America, in seven short videos.
1/7 HE RAN. Two days after losing Brazil’s election, ordered to surrender his passports, he crossed into Argentina at night and flew to Miami.

the past week has been unnecessarily hectic and i have done a horrendous job at promoting thus far but this book i have spent the last couple years writing is finally out in the world and i am deeply horrified but proud of it. worked so hard on being as humbly sober, fair, and honest as humanly possible.
it is a polemic, historical, and theoretical. flawed, maybe even limited—but deeply curious. and rooted in an utter devotion to wanting to advance contemporary struggle beyond its severely underdeveloped and embryonic stage in which we’ve found it (but trying to perform an autopsy for the world we have inhabited).
very excited to be in dialogue with so many brilliant folks, to hear criticisms and takedowns, in the coming months!!!
Throughout the history of the United States, Black revolution has been sedated, diverted and neutralised.
Taming the Revolution by @queersocialism is out now!

Fox: Why are you here this morning?
Trump rally attendee: Well, in the late 70s, I was a little too young to go to South America for the Jonestown Massacre. But this is as close as I'll ever get, so that's why I'm here. There's nothing like seeing a cult right up front.

I saw Flavio Bolsonaro had the audacity to thank the American people for “taking him in.” I don’t know why he said this? The American people didn’t do anything; his puppeteer, TRUMP did. We don’t want him here. Common-sense Americans want our tax dollars spent on OUR healthcare, OUR roads, OUR schools, but instead, the Republicans are using them to let this guy live the movie star life with our money. The Republicans have lost their minds. I don’t want to pay for this guy! Who the hell does he think he is? Not only is he stealing from the American taxpayer, he is further calling himself the “leader of Brazil,” after he just got smacked in an election. This is blatant election denialism, and it represents the dangerous, anti-democracy ideology that must not be allowed in our country. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE MUST NOT BE THIS GROWN MAN’S SUGAR DADDY! When Democrats win this election, unlike Flavio, every dollar going towards this sham must be investigated and DEFUNDED. That security detail? DEFUNDED. When Trump is gone, the Bolsonaros must be deported. They are not “asylum seekers”; they are authoritarians leeching off the hard-working American taxpayer. We work too hard for this. Enough.

janones might be the first political strategist to rise to the moment wrt algorithms and politics. like he gets it in a way very very few do. i’ve had this intuition for a long time but i couldn’t have imagined a way to formalize it and use it as a political tool like this. it’s incredible to see
Entendam: a comunicação na rede é contra intuitiva. Aquilo que nosso impulso manda fazer, que parece o natural a ser feito naquele momento, normalmente é o contrário do que devemos fazer. E isso não é ao acaso: lembrem que alguém programou o algoritmo pra funcionar assim! Ele sempre privilegiará pessoas com menos senso crítico, por isso para o campo progressista é mais difícil vencer por aqui, porque pra quem pensa, é mais difícil aceitar ser direcionado. Mas é importante dizer também que não é uma receita de bolo, toda regra tem uma exceção! Por exemplo, há casos em que devemos responder o adversário, quando ele está no mesmo patamar hierárquico que nós, dentre outros casos.
Voted yesterday under the “choose your opponent” protocol. Bourgeois elected officials are not friends and only rarely even allies of the working people. Demanding concessions from and putting pressure on electeds is the only way to engage with them productively.
Maybe the idea of peaceful protest can finally go to the rubbish bin when it's shown to be ineffectual.
🚨Unarmed, peaceful human rights activists are increasingly becoming more accustomed to shrugging off the violence inflicted upon them by federal agents. This case of an unresolved hit-and-run one year ago in Chicago is one among many examples of federal abuse where the victim has little to no hope in finding justice.

I love great writing and hate how it's treated on the internet. So I built something to try to fix that.
If you wish there were a better place to share your writing, to discover new work, to talk culture and books, then I invite you to read—and to join me.
with my current platform, allow me tell you about what's happening in Indonesia.
today, massive student-led protests are taking place against the incompetent and self-serving regime.
one of the most pressing issues being raised is the BURNING DOWN of our forests and lands, which has been happening for months. you might have heard about the fires in Kalimantan/Borneo, as neighboring countries also suffer from the haze, but they're happening across other islands too; Sumatra, Papua, Sulawesi, Maluku, and even multiple mountains in Java. beyond the loss of people's homes, clean air, and clean water, we're watching our native wildlife and irreplaceable biodiversity along with centuries-old traditional sites disappear before our eyes.
yet the government has been UNWILLING to take meaningful action. instead, our public servants have been trying to silence our voices online, turning down foreign aid, and waging psywar against other countries, all without even acknowledging the severity of the situation.
budgets for disaster relief, education, and healthcare have been reallocated to the Free Meal Program, the president's flagship campaign promise, which ironically has reportedly poisoned ~40,000 children in less than 2 years, with no one being held accountable.
today, in jakarta alone 14,000 police and military personnel were deployed to confront demonstrators. This is the reality of the repressive, anti-criticism government the Indonesian people are currently facing.
and you know what? WATER CANNONS were prepared. water cannons that have never been used to fight the fires are now being aimed at the people.
today is the Youth Pledge Day, when indonesian youth pledged to fight for freedom 98 years ago.
may this freedom find us again.
Long live resistance.

I love how this makes and holds space for Palestinian voices instead of the usual (imperial/White) Saviour positioning that too many - iykyk - deploy. Across the world, anticolonial kinship means/requires making and holding space for the colonised TO speak, NOT speaking FOR

米国による国際刑事裁判所(ICC)への制裁は、「遺憾であり、日本政府は制裁措置に反対であり、撤回を求める」と表明をすべきでは、というシンプルな質問。
茂木外務大臣の長〜い答弁、しかし「遺憾」「反対」「撤回を」という言葉は一つも口にしなかった。
米国にどう伝えるかは、この際、置いておいたとしても、国際社会に対して日本政府が表明すべきと、求めたら
「表明すれば、相手に伝わる」と答弁。
米国に言わないだけでない、伝わることも恐れているという、本音が垣間見えた瞬間ですね。
しかも米国に直接関わる質問は、官僚に答弁を促した。
「法の支配」を強化すると言いながら、「法の支配」を壊そうとしているものを批判しない。
アメリカ言いなり、という言葉を私は質問では使っていないが、その矛盾がはっきりと見えてくる。

極右を倒したブラジルの皆さん聞いてください😭🖐️🆘この田村智子という人が日本の左翼政党のリーダーの1人なんです。日本では2月の選挙で左翼が大敗し、極右に議席のほとんどを取られてしまいました😭その中で田村智子は孤軍奮闘し続けています。
わたしが2月の選挙で感じた問題は彼女の圧倒的な知名度の低さです。当時はフォロワーが約17万人で、選挙以降何度も彼女へのフォローを呼びかけ今は23万人にまで増やすことができました。それでもまだまだ極右政治家からは大変な差をつけられており、支持率も大きな変化を見せることができていません😭
反ファシズムの皆さん、どうか一緒に田村智子をフォローしていただけませんでしょうか?今の極右の日本の現首相に対抗できる政治家で田村智子は非常に有効です。日本の暴走を止めるため世界から連帯してほしいです😭😭どうか私たちを助けてください🆘🙇♀️

É comum ouvir críticas à China como “não se pode falar mal do presidente”.
Para muitos chineses, essa frase soa muito estranha.
A pergunta que surge automaticamente na cabeça do chines é: “Mas por que alguém criticaria o presidente?”
Para entender essa diferença de visão é preciso observar como funciona a seleção e a progressão de quem chega ao poder na China.
O caminho se parece mais com uma carreira burocrática longa e competitiva do que com a política eleitoral ocidental.
O primeiro passo é a filiação ao Partido Comunista da China (PCC), que constitui a espinha dorsal do poder. O processo é seletivo e demorado: o candidato precisa de recomendação, histórico familiar atestado por membros do partido, pelo menos um ano de acompanhamento com redações e exames políticos e, depois, mais um ano como membro probatório. Ter passado pela Liga da Juventude Comunista ou mesmo ter sido representante de turma no ensino fundamental e médio conta positivamente como indício precoce de liderança.
Além da filiação partidária, o sistema valoriza fortemente a formação técnica. Há uma tradição consolidada de engenheiros e cientistas nas altas esferas — os últimos presidentes, incluindo Xi Jinping, têm formação em engenharia. Antes de assumir cargos de liderança, o quadro precisa demonstrar resultados expressivos em sua atividade profissional.
Ninguém chega ao topo sem antes passar décadas administrando a base. O político inicia em escalas pequenas — um quarteirão, um comitê de rua ou a gestão de uma praça, por exemplo. Nessa função, precisa mostrar excelência concreta: garantir a zeladoria e a infraestrutura (lâmpadas, brinquedos da praça, limpeza), avaliar problemas de segurança e trânsito no entorno e manter contato direto com os moradores, recolhendo reclamações e sugestões. Se cumprir metas de desenvolvimento econômico, redução da pobreza e boa avaliação da população, é promovido.
A partir daí a carreira avança de forma piramidal e geográfica concorrendo com outros iguais. O quadro passa a gerenciar um bairro inteiro, depois um distrito municipal, torna-se prefeito de uma cidade de médio porte e, em seguida, governa províncias com populações maiores que muitos países. Só depois disso disputa espaço nos órgãos centrais em Pequim. Para alcançar o círculo máximo do poder, como o Comitê Permanente do Politburo (apenas sete pessoas), exige-se em geral uma trajetória de 30 a 40 anos de serviços contínuos e bem avaliados.
Esse processo se apoia em eleições indiretas e piramidais. Os cidadãos votam diretamente apenas para os congressos populares locais. Esses representantes elegem os do nível provincial, que por sua vez escolhem os membros da Assembleia Popular Nacional. A Assembleia e os comitês internos do PCC definem os cargos mais altos do Executivo, incluindo o presidente. Ao longo de toda a escalada, as avaliações são frequentes e incluem cumprimento de metas macroeconômicas, pesquisas de opinião e investigação de conduta.
Desse modo, a figura do presidente deixa de ser vista, por grande parte da população, como um político qualquer. Por isso a crítica direta e pública soa, para muitos chineses, menos como um direito natural e mais como algo que precisa de justificativa muito forte.
Diante desse caminho de décadas de resultados comprovados e avaliações constantes, você, se fosse chinês, acharia algo normal falar mal do presidente?

You all need to understand that there is a well-funded movement to kill Wikipedia as an institution. The dream of an internet that provided universal access to knowledge was a mirage. It threatened too many powerful people, so now we have AI summaries and illiteracy.
