We cannot rely on the US to protect or nurture the commons. Think of the US as a giant shopping mall with guns. That’s it. That’s the whole philosophy right there.

We want to safeguard the infrastructure of civilisation, we have to do it ourselves here in the EU before it’s too late. And we can start by acknowledging our own failures and redoubling our commitment to fundamental rights and democracy (and not limit our own potential by having every single decision framed by the fucking “Single Market”).

You want to end up like the US? Then let’s keep going as we are. You want something different? We must invest in the commons, embrace our diversity, embrace equity, and move to an inclusive, post-capitalist existence.

It’s up to us. The bacteria in places we haven’t even visited yet that will survive long after we’ve made ourselves extinct – should that be the route we decide to take (because yes, it is a decision) – don’t really give two shits either way.

The wife of the pathetic, good for nothing, desperate loser Reza #Pahlavi, the oldest soon of Iran's last king was seen during a pro #genocide rally in the #US.

While #Trump administration has once again opened the door for support of Iranian opposition groups, mainly the Maoist/islamist cult of #Rajavi (so called (#NCRI), the former prince and his wife are desperately trying to get a piece of the pie and a chance to become the rulers of the country again.

Their biggest hope is #Netanyahu and the extreme Israeli leaders like Ben-Gvir.

Many people have n the US, specially #Giuliani, #Huckabee, #Rubio and other Christian Talibans prefer supporting Rajavi instead.

I cannot believe that I'm posting this, but in the two weeks or so since it originally ran it's proven to be relatively accurate.

We may see #martiallaw declared in the #US within the next few weeks.

“How a war with Iran (for Israel) could crash the US economy”

by Shivan Mahendrarajah in The Cradle

@palestine
@israel

“As Trump eyes war with Iran to bolster his legacy and appease his pro-Israel backers, Tehran’s likely retaliation could crash global markets, spike oil prices, and bring economic pain directly to the American public – turning support for apocalyptic politics into a crisis at the checkout line”

The Atlantic getting added to a Pentagon group chat confirms what we already knew. The Atlantic isn't just covering the war machine, it's an integral part of it.

Despite these hurdles, ASEAN has opportunities to counterbalance the uncertainty of a Trump 2.0
Presidency. Strengthening intra-regional economic cooperation through RCEP and fostering deeper
trade ties with the European Union could help Japan and India reduce their overreliance on U.S.
markets. ASEAN can strengthen its defense initiatives through the ASEAN Defense Ministers’ Meeting-
Plus (ADMM-Plus), allowing for a degree of stability that is independent of U.S. military engagement.
Engaging China strategically while maintaining ASEAN's collective stance in territorial disputes will be
crucial in ensuring that regional sovereignty is not undermined.

An incredible person has started a movement to tell the stories of #US #scientists and #science experts who have been dismissed because of the #trump #madness over there at the moment

If you know scientists who have lost funding or jobs because of *certain decisions*, you should contact them! They are also looking for #volunteers ❤️❤️

Highly recommend this interview on Novara Media with Matt Kennard of Declassified UK fame!

@Declassified_UK
@DeclassifiedUK

“The British Military is ACTIVELY involved in Gaza. Here’s how”

https://youtu.be/KaooeJzsRU8?feature=shared

“Matt Kennard can speak with authority on all of this. A journalist and author, his work has ranged from how U.S. military recruitment changed during the ‘war on terror’, to the corporate capture of international aid”

Let me get this straight, in Israel right now, the opposition leader is calling for a general tax strike, universities are striking, and people engage in random strikes across the country, including on the roads.

Whereas in the US, the opposition party is capitulating with bills, is not calling for any organized protest, and the FBI is now working on behalf of private corporations.

Tell me again which one is the "Land of Freedom"

Verschwundene Datensätze
Amerikanische Zugeständnisse an #fuckPutin

Die #US-Regierung schränkt ihre Untersuchung russischer #Kriegsverbrechen weiter ein. Nun wurden Mittel für eine Datenbank zur #Beweissicherung gestrichen.

Darunter auch der Aufenthaltsort von 35.000 ukrainischen Kindern, die während des Kriegs von der Ukraine nach Russland verschleppt wurden. Die Entführung von Kindern ist ein Kriegsverbrechen.


The Putin "referendum" in the russian-occupied territories of Ukraine🇺🇦--held literally at gunpoint. Yet, the #US administration now claims the results reflect what people from eastern Ukraine want.
