The U.S. and Israel continue to be the biggest threats to children (and humanity).

US AND ISRAEL ATTACK IRAN Multiple explosions heard in Tehran, elsewhere, as Israel launches attacks on Iran with US help.

The world's two rogue states, Israel and the USA, have started a war not against Iran but against the whole world. We stand with Iranians, with Humanity, against the notion that Israel and the US can bomb anyone their fancy takes them to bomb. www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

“This is a picture of Tehran. For you uneducated, untraveled, never-served, warhawks licking your chops at the thought of bombing it. It's not some low population desert. There are families, children, family pets. Regular working class people with dreams. You're sick to want war”

THE STORY OF CAPITAL

OUT NOW

Affiche avec la citation de MalcolmX en deux langues : Si vous n'êtes pas vigilants, les journaux arriveront à vous faire détester les gens opprimés et aimer ceux qui les oppriment. If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.

Rappel

Honestly, any us-american thinking they were “moral” before Trump is a brainwashed fool.

The Repeating History of US Intervention in Venezuela A look back at The Nation’s 130 years of articles about Venezuela reveals that the more things change, the more they stay the same.

As shocking as the Trump administration’s abduction of Nicolas Maduro was, a look through The Nation’s archives reveals that US intervention in Venezuela—and hunger for its old—goes back over 100 years. Richard Kreitner lays it all out here.

The Media Can't Stop Propping Up Elon Musk's Phony Supergenius Engineer Mythology One of my favorite trends in modern U.S. infotainment media is something I affectionately call "CEO said a thing!" journalism. "CEO said a thing!" journalism generally involves a press outlet parroti...

They simply can't help themselves. It's utterly pathological.

this is so good.

it also reminds me of the time media outlets sane-washed Neuralink's first human patient trial.

WSJ said the company fixed "a problem" with the wiring ahead of their second volunteer.

the problem? 85 PERCENT OF THE WIRES DETACHED FROM HIS BRAIN

Across #Gaza, nearly 90% of all school buildings have been damaged or destroyed during the war.

Children are now being taught by UNRWA teams in temporary learning spaces or through digital learning.

so is it a common experience that the same dudes who were super into crypto like 7 years ago are the same dudes that are super into ai hype now?

is it just the same group of guys getting scammed over and over while they lecture us normies about how we are missing out because we are stupid?

When Idiot Savants Do Climate Economics How an elite clique of math-addled economists hijacked climate policy.

"Nordhaus’s models tell us that at a temperature rise somewhere between 2.7 and 3.5 degrees Celsius, the global economy reaches “optimal” adaptation."
Unbelievably stupid.

Les PFAS pourraient fortement contaminer plus de 75 millions d’Européens et coûter jusqu’à 1 700 milliards d’euros à l’UE Une étude commandée par la Commission européenne évalue le fardeau pour les sociétés européennes en fonction de l’évolution de la réglementation et de la diffusion des polluants éternels dans l’enviro...

C'est une catastrophe sanitaire et écologique.

Si rien n'est fait, le coût des polluants éternels atteindra 1 700 milliards d'euros d'ici à 2050.

Les PFAS doivent être interdits. Il y a urgence.

Same story over and over. These larpers - Kirkegard, Pesta et al - pumping out the same effluence with their strategy - exposed by @harryshukman.bsky.social + @hopenothate.org.uk - to normalise and spread scientific racism. They KNOW it's bullshit too.

Interesting! thanks for sharing. Top you think this continues to be relevant today? it would explain some rants I've received in place of reviews.

Gaza's children have been abandoned. But you can give them food, shelter, and water.

Exxon funded thinktanks to spread climate denial in Latin America, documents reveal Texas-based fossil fuel company financed Atlas Network in attempt to derail UN-led climate treaty process

Big Oil has a long history of interference in Latin America.

Documents reveal that "Exxon funded rightwing thinktanks to spread climate change denial," invest in "market-oriented public policies" and ensure "continued strong returns to Exxon’s investors.” 😑

A very long and important THREAD -

The real reason the US is invading Venezuela goes back to a deal Henry Kissinger made with Saudi Arabia in 1974.

And I'm going to explain why this is actually about the SURVIVAL of the US dollar itself.

Not drugs. Not terrorism. Not "democracy." 1/

Time to update the list of US military interventions in Latin America.

Blows my mind that some of the same journalists who see Trump as a want-to-be dictator at home are earnestly discussing the "challenges" for this same man to "bring democracy" to a country it just illegal invaded. Please grow up.

Oil and gas companies are war criminals. They are destroying the only livable climate in the known universe. They are Trump’s allies. They are the enemies of everyone good.

US imperialism is the greatest threat to peace and security in our world today and it's not even close.

The US empire continues killing and pillaging without remorse or accountability, with most of its brainwashed population believing they are the moral ones.

"How Europe and “the west” responds to Trump now and the actions that governments take downstream from that is going to set the path for 2026. Because Trump isn’t just a rogue, out-of-control president, America is a rogue state. And the longer we fail to acknowledge that, the more danger we are in."

Over and over the US inflicts obscene violence against the global South, in flagrant violation of international law, to maintain the conditions for capital accumulation for its decadent billionaire class. It's disgusting and intolerable. We cannot continue to accept this.

Lest anyone for a single moment thinks this latest coup is a somehow a dramatic breach of long-term US foreign policy.
