LOOK AT THIS SHIT: Marines and ICE team up in a show of force, turning a community swap meet into a surveillance operation.

Witnesses say people were cornered, forced to identify themselves, and had their photos taken — without suspicion or a warrant.

This is a police state.

Weeks later, in 2022, Rasheem Carter’s head was found—severed from his spine. His body scattered.

No arrests. No outrage. No justice.

They want you to think lynching ended with Emmett Till. It didn’t. It just went off camera.

ICJ dismisses Sudan’s genocide case alleging UAE backing of RSF rebels Top UN court says it does not have authority to rule on case accusing UAE of arming Rapid Support Forces paramilitary.

The ICJ decision to dismiss the case against the UAE charged with genocide in Sudan will only embolden them to ramp up their support for the RSF including their drone support. These international systems of justice don't work, they merely delay justice.

The videos out of Elfashir are pure horror. Please literally running for their lives, being rounded up and shot by RSF.

- and that this not a civil war but a proxy war & hostile takeover of Sudan for her abundant resources, in particular gold which is used to enrich the UAE.

Reminder that the RSF is backed by the UAE, that there is plenty of evidence of the destruction of cultural & heritage sites, documents, & works of art specific to Sudanese people, that this is the worst internal displacement crisis in the world, that there is evidence of population shifts-

This was one of my favourite museums in Africa, possibly the world. Sudan has one of the longest documented histories on the continent, and the extent of pillage that has happened here is devastating.

Above all, the conflict minerals narrative reproduces a problematic kind of African exceptionalism. Whereas war in other settings is often acknowledged to be the product of a more complex type of geopolitics, history, and ideology, warfare in Africa is reduced to naked greed.

It is deeply inscribed in White Saviourism. It does not acknowledge African agency, let alone account for a changing world where non-Western corporations have become major electronics producers.

Why conflict mineral narratives don’t explain the M23 rebellion in DR Congo False framings can exacerbate the problems they seek to tackle.

Why conflict mineral narratives don’t explain the M23 rebellion in DR Congo. It is grounded in a colonial worldview, where Western producers and consumers are the ultimate arbiters of suffering in eastern DRC - @newhumanitarian.bsky.social

Unicef Says Armed Men Raped Scores of Children in Eastern Congo Rampage U.N. children’s agency warns the toll may be significantly higher, as M23 rebels continue their advance.

Unicef has accused armed men in eastern Congo of raping hundreds of women and children during a single week of fighting as Rwandan-backed rebels cemented control over the city of Goma, a vital humanitarian hub they seized from government forces last month.

For the longest time, books, TVs, textbooks, newspapers said the difference between American democracy and others was that its constitutions and institutions were an unbreakable wall ...until two men came along and proved it was a lie. But it had a good run.

Freezing US foreign aid will result in humanitarian disaster The loss of services supported by USAID will affect millions of the world’s most vulnerable people.

We urge the US government to halt the ad hoc waiver system and allow for all critical humanitarian and medical assistance to continue as the administration reviews its foreign assistance priorities.
