🇺🇦 Russia killed at least 16 people & injured a further 100 in overnight attacks across Ukraine.

For millions of people, it meant running for shelter in the middle of the night when hearing the alert, if heard at all, before bombs hit.

You can't simultaneously lament the fall of the USSR and be a minimally credible anti-imperialist. You just can't. The USSR was an empire and it was brought down by anti-imperialist, local liberation movements and mobilization. In addition,...

I think we have to face up to the fact that no healthy country re-elects a man like Trump

And that problem goes beyond the people who cast a vote for him

The absolute hypocrisy of the Trump administration:

They start a chaotic war in Iran, panic over oil prices, and then issue waivers for Russian oil.

Washington is bailing out Rosneft while they actively run child deportation camps in Ukraine

Liberal Currents has quietly become one of the few outlets taking male supremacy seriously, either as a foundation of Trumpist fascism or as a system of oppression in its own right.

Four years ago in Bucha, Russia killed over 500 innocent civilians. Among them were 43 children. The youngest was just 1.7 years old.

After that, Russia kept screaming that everything was staged, that it wasn’t true, that it was Ukrainian propaganda.

This might look like a mundane bar photo but look closer and you’ll see text on a shelf saying ‘for victory day’ (in Ukrainian). These are the drinks regulars of this Kyiv bar got and asked this bar to put there so they could drink it, well,
on a victory day.

Yes you may cry now.

If you try to engage with any of these people on the topic of Soviet genocide of Ukrainians, Poles, or others, they'll just say stuff about "kulaks who deserved it."

I gave up fighting that battle a long time ago, on Twitter. Sad to see it carrying over here.

Afghan asylum-seeker dies in ICE custody, US advocacy group says Mohommad Nazeer Paktyawal is at least the 12th person to die ​in ICE detention this year.

This man did far more fighting for the US than anyone in the cabinet or the White House. And he died one day after being taken to an American concentration camp. One day.

Anti-war feminists could be focusing on raising awareness about russian war crimes against Ukrainian women instead of posting performative nonsense that undermines support for Ukraine’s defence.
