Zohran Mamdani declined to attend the Met Gala whose main sponsors and honorary hosts are Jeff Bezos and his wife, Lauren Sánchez? About bloody time someone had the guts to stand up to that elitist nonsense!
Want to understand what data colonialism is and how it is already impacting native and national public lands? Just listen to Oglala Lakota and Northern Cheyenne activist Krystal Two Bulls, the executive director of Honor the Earth, and you'll understand what this is all about.

History is clear that movements rooted in grievance + identity + media echo chambers don’t just stay fringe. Like Nazism and fascism, they grow, expand, and reshape institutions if left unchallenged. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. We have to confront these punks quickly, frontally, and loudly.
These chauvinist actors are meeting with foreign political figures, seeking external backing, and have crossed a line. They're not about grassroots democracy and have become US geopolitical pawns dressed up as “sovereignty.” That should concern any #Canadian who cares about democratic integrity.
They're not just calling for self-government. They're framing it as “Alberta vs #Canada,” “real producers vs parasites,” “us vs them.” Always against immigrants. Scapegoating environmentalists. Textbook national chauvinism. Smith has normalized it, It's now a gateway to more authoritarian politics.
Let’s be clear: most #Albertans don’t support separation. Most people know it’s a minority position. But not just any minority. It is a coaltion of xenophones, supremacists, rightwingers, neofascists amplified by outrage media and algorithmic “slopaganda.” Ignoring it has enabled it to grow.
#Alberta separatism isn’t just “regional frustration”; it’s a political project built on grievance, exceptionalism and increasingly neofascist disinformation ecosystems. Their politics have become myth-making, their chauvinism quite extreme. They're not about democratic renewal, but white supremacy.
Canada/Mexico should frustrate Howard Lutnick so badly until his efforts at "renegotiating" CUSMA fail BIGLY! They should let Trump carry this failure, like Iran, to the midterms and let Americans decide if they want C/M as trade partners or not. In the meantime, NO more concessions to Trump!
The courage to speak out: Omer Bartov and the genocide in #Gaza. (These, BTW, are the Israeli voices I admire and respect)
Let me get this straight: smashing a statue of Jesus with a sledgehammer "completely deviates from IDF orders and values”, but killing civilians, scorching communities, murdering activists, bombing hospitals, schools and mosques, committing genocide in Gaza completely fulfills IDF values? 🤪
If all they'll do is ridicule and dismiss this rising group of technofascists, you can bet technofascism will be the law of many lands pretty soon. What's needed, instead, is to shut down all the platforms that enable technofascists to spread their authoritarian message and rally their bases.
Not only was Western Marxism NOT a CIA plot, but Rockhill's ridiculous "guilty by association" argument - when applied to himself - would entirely rule out his own argument. Because the university that pays his salary also has contracts and collaborates with the DoD.
The crisis of the international order isn't just geopolitical. It's a crisis of global hegemony. Neither US unipolarity nor the old liberal multilateralism works anymore. What's emerging is an unstable world, marked by interconnected wars, increasing coercion, and a loss of legitimacy.
The Trump war against US national forests and the environment. It's brutal, amoral and totally illegal.
"In the documentary The Last Spy by the American-German filmmaker Katharina Otto-Bernstein, Sichel openly criticises US governments of the past for acting against the advice of its intelligence community to depose democratically elected leaders in #Guatemala, Indonesia, Congo and especially #Iran."
Smashing a statue of Jesus is disrespectul. Like bombing mosques. But worse is the mass killing of innocent people, including children. And when that happens, even Jesus says: 'Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of the least of these brothers of Mine, you did it to Me.'
As part of The Strokes' blistering critique of the CIA at #Coachella 2026, they projected an image of Jacobo Arbenz, Guatemalan president overthrown by a CIA-backed coup in 1954. As a result of that coup, the US-supported Guatemalan military imposed a 30-year rule of blood and repression til 1985.
Ending the blockade against #Cuba requires more than condemnation. It requires coordinated defiance across the world. A coalition of states willing to trade with Cuba openly and collectively, regardless of US sanctions, can break the logic of isolation. The US empire must be rendered innefective.
The real test of political will is if governments are prepared to put their trade relations with the U.S. on the line to defend multilateralism and trade diversity. Without this, calls for “dialogue” remain symbolic gestures within an unequal global order and an imperial hegemon calling the shots.
This is not simply about #Cuba. It is about whether one state can unilaterally dictate the terms of global trade. Accepting U.S. sanctions as “binding” has set a precedent that has undermined international law and multilateralism itself. The whole world should unite and say NO MORE!
If countries truly oppose the blockade, they must restore full economic relations with #Cuba including banking, credit, trade, investment, technological transfers, etc. without fear of U.S. retaliation. Anything less reproduces the very system they claim to reject.
The U.S. blockade persists not only because Washington enforces it, but because the EU, Latin America, and others de facto recognize its extraterritorial reach. The real terrain of struggle is thus global economic sovereignty vs. imperial overreach. We need a true int'l coalition against imperialism
The #Barcelona Summit’s call to end the blockade on #Cuba is urgent and necessary. But let’s be clear that declarations are not enough. As long as the global economy continues to comply with and submit to U.S. sanctions, the blockade remains materially intact and effective. #BarcelonaSummit
Stop the damn blockade against Cuba!
“Paren el maldito bloqueo”: #México, #Brasil y #España condenan agresión contra #Cuba y llaman a un diálogo sincero y a respetar la integridad territorial de la Isla.
#Barcelona
The EU shouldn't just impose sanctions against some "violent settlers" in the occupied West Bank. All settlers should be sanctioned and all trade agreements with Israel should be suspended until they end occupation, apartheid and genocide. Enough impunity for murderers and war criminals already!
Is the US Supreme Court's so-called "shadow docket" just a media name for what in fact is a deeply conservative/restorative agenda that favors corporate and elite interests above all and without any public or democratic accountability? Just look at the pro-corporate, pro-Trumpian track record.
Was it reasonable to expect anything different from the only type of casino/gangster politics and economics Trump is capable of doing? Not remotely. Gambling with people's lives, lands and liberties is at the heart of his so-called "transactional" approach to "deal-making". It's pure corruption!
Maria Corina Machado can hold as many ralllies in Spain as she wants. But after partying over the US kidnapping of President Maduro, pimping the Nobel prize medal and then offering to sell the country to the quickest bidders, she should NEVER be allowed to even return to #Venezuela. She's done.
