The United States gave Netanyahu over $24 billion in taxpayer dollars to fund his horrific war in Gaza.

That wasn't enough. Netanyahu wanted war with Iran. Trump gave him one.

The American people β€” not Netanyahu’s right-wing government β€” should determine U.S. foreign policy.

After 5 days of hostilities between the United States, Israel, and Iran, reported casualties include nearly 800 people killed in Iran and 50 in Lebanon, with attacks affecting nuclear facilities, cities, diplomatic compounds, and energy infrastructure.

The facade of an international rules-based order is being destroyed because of the impunity enjoyed by powerful Western states, including Canada, which have repeatedly selectively applied human rights only when it benefits capitalist economic and state interests,

It's not hypocrisy, it's capitalism.

The bizarre behaviour of Western states and leaders often seems to betray a moral double standard. But in fact it is all perfectly consistent with a single standard, namely, the objective of maintaining the conditions for capital accumulation in the core.

The US aggression against Venezuela is naked imperialism. All pretext has been exposed as farce. An invasion would cause tens of thousands of deaths. Every sane person must oppose this madness.

An illustration that says frogs against fascism. A person in a frog costume (reminiscent of the photo that looked like this scene from Portland recently) standing in front of a group of militarized and masked officers. A word bubble says Fuck ICE.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

You can calmly debate the fascist. Carefully take apart every argument of his and provide evidence for each claim you’re making.

He will still turn around and order your execution. Fascism isn’t a rational force, it’s a tool of class warfare. You don’t argue with the knife.

The occupation of Iraq was justified through same rhetoric we hear now about Iran: weapons of mass destruction, saving women & queers, clash of civilizations etc

the task of anti-imperialist left is not to litigate the veracity of these allegations, but to refuse racist premise for imperialist war

Just a reminder that Orwell’s protagonist in 1984, Winston Groom, works as a copy editor, except that his job entails endlessly β€œcorrecting the data” so that the archival record conforms to the Party’s preferred fictions, and what is β€œknown” becomes a principal instrument of conformity.

I was imagining today what the world would be like if there were no borders at all. If hoarding wealth was so looked down upon that no one even thought of it. If those who were able took care of those who were not. If all the good things we imagine we want for ourselves, we made sure everyone had.

An act of war weeks in planning but unauthorized by Congress against a country that Trump's own director of intelligence testified under oath was not close to getting a nuclear weapon.

This is fascism Fascism starts with talk, not tanks. With democratic elections, not a coup. And it takes hold thanks to people who think things won’t move quicklyβ€”until they do just that.

The United States, that "beacon of democracy", has intervened in 128 elections since 1946 to shape political outcomes in their own interests.

I cannot emphasize this enough, an Israel-Western regime change operation against Iran would lead to hundreds of thousands of deaths. We have seen this play out before, several times in the past decades. Anyone who tries to justify this madness will have blood on their hands.

Israel is the spear-tip of Western imperialism in the region, and Netanyahu is now openly calling for assassination and regime change in Iran. They want to destroy the country to extend their hegemony. These people are murderous monsters, all of them.

Just a reminder that the West destroyed Iran’s progressive democracy in 1953, deposing a leader beloved of the people, and installed a dictatorship in his place. The US and UK have been terrorising that country for as long as any of us have been alive. It’s sick.

It is absolutely appalling what is happening in the US right now. Shoving kids and their mom into a tiny box like cargo. there is just so much about this that is fucked up.
