"New data shows ZERO oil tankers passed through the Strait of Hormuz today, signaling what appears to be a complete shutdown of the Strait for the first time in history. "

Me, joking: I can’t believe we chose “destroying the economy” and “losing wars” over “being nice to trans people occasionally”

Conservatives, dead serious: it was a tough choice, but I’m glad we picked “destroying the economy” and “losing wars” over “being nice to trans people occasionally”

The word you're looking for is "ethnic cleansing".

Deradicalizing Gaza is likely an unattainable goal | The Jerusalem Post Efforts to deradicalize Gaza face geographical and political barriers, making lasting change unlikely.

"The only way Israel can ensure how Gaza will be governed, and who will govern it, is to govern it itself. Moreover, the only way Israel can govern the Gaza Strip without becoming an external oppressor of “another people” is to remove “the other people” from the confines of the Gaza Strip itself."

Trump administration insider trading is basically turning the financial and commodity markets into an early warming system for the Iranians

it's not like the US attacked them during the last talks and then launched a decapitation strike, right

We'll then have to add a third point:

CAPITALIST PROFITEERING IS MAKING IT WORSE

And that's it, that's the line on inflation now and for the next many months

When inflation hits, and people start suffering we need to bang on about the following:

US IMPERIALISM AND OIL DEPENDENCY ARE THE CAUSES

DECARBONIZATION AND ANTI-IMPERIALISM ARE THE SOLUTIONS

The oil market mess is much worse than you think Oh, man . . .

"Big picture, the Ramadan War is a classic 21st c climate war. Not a war over CO2 emissions, but a war over the organization of energy,fossil energy in particular,waged as a battle over the infrastructure that extracts and moves fossil fuels & related resources across the earth"-@aldasky.bsky.social

Day 19: A reminder that Iran has not closed Hormuz.
But controlled who gets to get out and where.
Its a world of a difference. The US Navy could sink tankers taking Iranian oil and gas to Asia on the high seas way out of the Persian Gulf, but that would make the war worse bsky.app/profile/70sb...

From 6-7pm CET we speak to Helena Mullenbach of the Resist Glencore Network about the community-led just transition plan process they are cofacilitating in Colombia and beyond, how they build bottom up knowledge and literacy as well as alliance, and work to leverage this against corporations.

"The war on Iran is a distraction from the Epstein files". Like in what kind of racist, imperialist mind is starting a bloodbath a way to get you off the hook for pedophilia?

Every article that includes the word “Netanyahu” should be followed by “who is wanted by the ICC for the war crime of starvation as a method of warfare and the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts during the Gaza war”

The US and Israel are bombing Iran. Anyone reporting it as “preventive” is engaging in propaganda, by definition. There is no interpretation of what’s happening as anything else than a crime.

You don’t have to like the Iranian regime to understand why this is bad.

At least on the surface. Because if you look at the programme of these ecomodernist socialists, there's so much PMC ideology when it comes to policy (very technocratic), technology (very top down and expert-driven), and even the working class (not to liberate themselves, but to be represented)

It's ironic that the country that's closest to realizing the dreams of anti-PMC ecomodernists is China, the most powerful state ever run exclusively by the "Professional Managerial Class".

Inside a Detention Site at the Heart of Europe’s Harsh New Approach to Immigration

On the hellish detention and deportation system built by EU countries. With quotes from the current and the former German chancellors expressing their commitment to the inhumane cruelty of this apparatus, described here in forensic detail.

Video shows a person on a motorbike being attacked in central Gaza as the Israeli military continues to violate the ceasefire.

Israeli forces have killed nearly 600 Palestinians in Gaza since the ceasefire was agreed last October.

‘Judeo-christian’ is a smart term for persuading rightwing Jews that antisemitic rightwing Christians are no longer a threat. It’s like the LGBs who convinced themselves that they can ally themselves with homophobes by throwing trans people under the bus.

Many people just never want to learn.

Over 850 days since international journalists allowed into Gaza.

Over 250 Palestinian journalists killed in that same time.

No United Nations fact-finding or International Criminal Court investigators given access.

Judges, prosecutors, UN experts and Palestinian NGOs are instead sanctioned.
