They Lied About The School Bombing In Iran, And They're Going To Keep On Lying And Other Notes

They Lied About The School Bombing In Iran, And They're Going To Keep On Lying

Remember all the hasbarists and empire apologists who said it was a misfired Iranian missile that hit the school. Remember how aggressively and uniformly they all pushed this lie.

🔲 Can't yell at republicans, they're not on here

🔲 Can't yell at transphobes, they don't care

☑️ Can yell at allies that are unable to solve systemic problems on their own

It's insane that Starmer's government is joining illegal attacks on Iran, after the US and Israel have spent the last week committing war crime after war crime, including bombing hospitals and massacring children in schools. Absolutely sick and depraved man.

AAUP-OSU statement on Ted Carter’s resignation as OSU president: 

“The students, faculty, and staff of Ohio State deserve so much better than the failed leadership that has been inflicted on this institution over the years. The repression of free speech, the dismantling of diversity, the lack of accountability to survivors - the list goes on and on. We demand a more transparent presidential search that involves the input of faculty, staff, and other university stakeholders.”

Every single member of Congress that hasn't spoken up and acted is complicit in the murder and destruction of every single country we are going to war with and they should be put on trial too. Disgusting. #USA #America #Congress

Every single person in the entire chain of command that massacred the schoolgirls in Minab, and that is currently carpet bombing Iranian civilians, needs to be tried and jailed in The Hague. Sick, depraved monsters drunk on imperial hubris.

For the Gulf states, the obvious response is to kick the US military bases out, and they should do it immediately, for the good of the whole region.

Commands around the world, including U.S. Central Command in the Middle East, use Anthropic’s Claude AI tool, people familiar with the matter confirmed. Centcom declined to comment about specific systems being used in its ongoing operation against Iran.

The command uses the tool for intelligence assessments, target identification and simulating battle scenarios even as tension between the company and Pentagon ratcheted up, the people said, highlighting how embedded the AI tools are in military operations.

The WSJ is reporting that AI, specifically Claude, was used in targeting for the attacks by the Epstein Empire.

That would mean the use of AI led directly to the massacre of 115 schoolchildren and 20 volleyball players.

Cuba Pt. 1: Before the Revolution w/ Manolo De Los Santos Podcast Episode · Upstream · 29/01/2026 · 1h 30m

This is an excellent episode of @upstreampodcast.bsky.social on what Cuba was like before the revolution. Listen to understand why we can never allow the US and its stooges to re-establish neocolonial power in Cuba.

The notion that the US would bring "freedom" to Cuba is actually obscene. The US effectively controlled Cuba for half a century before the revolution, and ran it as a dictatorship characterised by gangsterism, political repression, sex tourism, racial hierarchy and mass poverty.

I watched the video and pretty much everyone is representing it pretty much accurately and I don't think you need to watch it if your takeaway is that a bunch of ICE guys were on top of a dude who they were beating and then one of them decided to shoot him at point blank range for no obvious reason

This martyr could be any of us. He is doing what so many of us have been trained to do. Standing and recording on his phone, trying to warn his neighbors, and now he’s dead because armed, masked federal paramilitaries are acting with impunity to perform ethnic cleansing.

A global wave of resistance to the US empire must begin with ending Israel’s genocide Building a global wave of resistance to US imperial designs is now an existential need for humanity, to save us all from the abyss of utter lawlessness, immense suffering, and possibly a nuclear war

BDS condemns and rejects Trump’s so-called “Board of Peace.”

A global wave of resistance to the US empire must begin with ending Israel’s genocide.

We call for escalating all forms of BDS pressure and for forming the broadest possible intersectional coalitions.

The ceasefire is a lie. The ethnic cleansing of Palestine continues under the guise of peace plans. Do not look away.

Israel has killed at least 451 Palestinians and injured 1,251 since the Ceasfire was declared. More than 100 of those deaths are children. Meanwhile phase 1 of the ceasefire agreement only delivered 1 out of the 5 actions agreed to.
Basically the ceasefire never happened.

You are absolutely shameless. You spent the past two years not only tolerating but supporting a genocide.

Not going to be able to protest, placard, meme or vote your way out of fascism. Urgent disruptive direct action and civil disobedience that doesn't stop until all the criminals are out of power is required. The concentration of wealth went too far.

Is China doing "colonialism" in Africa? Western claims are contradicted by empirical evidence.

Is China doing "colonialism" in Africa?

Here I argue that equating China’s activities in Africa to Western colonialism/imperialism is not only empirically incorrect, it trivialises the extraordinary violence of the latter. It is a form of denialism.

Remember, the US and Israel are trying to do regime change in Iran in the name of "democracy" and "freedom", in order to install a puppet monarchy, totally subordinated to the US and Israel, run by the son of a dictator known for brutal political repression.

OCT. 7 HOSTAGES REVEAL THE MUSIC THAT HELPED THEM HOLD ON
From Frank Sinatra to Avenged Sevenfold, songs brought refuge, connection, and sanity to their time in captivity

By MARISA FOX
JANUARY 6, 2026

thousands of Palestinians have lost their lives in the days since Oct 7, and this is the main page of Rolling Stone magazine today. A wild piece of editorializing masquerading as a pop music piece.

I hope it is very clear what antisemitism looks like, and I'll tell you what, it's not an op-ed condemning genocide.

Consider that while Rumeysa Öztürk spent 6 weeks in prison for her constitutionally protected speech, the president's friend wouldn't dream of worrying about such a thing.
