🔴Washington Backed UAE and Ethiopia Ongoing Complicity in Sudan’s Genocide
A wave of drone attacks has been targeting critical civilian infrastructure across Sudan. The attacks are raising serious concerns about the impact on an already fragile country.

Important uprising in Paraguay against the free-market govt. Another Trump puppet crushed by their own corruption.
It's a small country, but significant as it's a centre for money laundering by Latin America's right-wing narco elites & crypto bros.

Not only are China's Private Enterprises incredibly well subsidised by China's State Owned Enterprises; its POEs increasingly operate *like* SOEs - like singular all-in-one units (free from competition/exchange)
China's PoEs are progressing towards being 1 giant, integrated SoE
Some of China’s most successful tech firms are renowned for their aggressive vertical integration: BYD, DJI, Unitree.
But it’s not just about costs. It’s also about greater performance and efficiency through customization and co-design.

As the SF district attorney, she created initiatives that targeted parents of truant students. When she became the CA attorney general she fought for legislation that criminalized parents for their kids truancy and people were incarcerated because of it. I don’t owe her kindness.

This tweet is disgraceful.
How can a representative of a state recruiting foreign mercenaries to massacre Black African civilians in Darfur be given such a platform?
This is an affront to the victims and a shameful failure of moral judgment.
Today the @AfricanGroupUN held an exchange with H.E. Lana Nusseibeh, candidate of the United Arab Emirates for the position of #UN Secretary-General, who presented her vision and priorities for the Organization. The discussion provided an opportunity to engage with #AU members states, on her candidacy and vision for the future of the United Nations and key issues related to Africa.

For a while now Paraguay has been a darling of the Latin American right, a tiny free market utopia. Elites in Brazil, Bolivia, and Argentina had even started hiding money there and registering businesses.
Whole thing is now collapsing under the weight of neoliberal corruption.

A demonstration was held by Ogadenian, Eritrean, Amhara, and Tigrayan diaspora communities in front of the European Union headquarters, rejecting warlord Abiy Ahmed’s ambitions and warmongering policies in the Horn of Africa.

#Sudan has released a detailed evidentiary report accusing #Ethiopia of allowing armed drone attacks against #Sudanese cities and civilian infrastructure.
The report, titled “Launched from Ethiopia,” presents recovered flight-control data, satellite imagery and drone wreckage, identifying alleged launch sites at #Asosa Airport, Bahir Dar Air Base and locations along the shared border.
Sudanese authorities say a recovered drone’s flight computer recorded a takeoff point 1.7 kilometres inside #Ethiopian territory, and have offered the evidence for international examination.

For a long time, I have been closely following developments in Somalia, Ethiopia, Sudan, Djibouti and Eritrea. In my writing, I try to expose the plans of the UAE, one of the greatest obstacles to stability in these countries, and of Israel, the shadow actor behind it. Every detail I share is based on reliable sources on the ground.
Some say I blame everything on the UAE. But the picture is clear: military shipments to Ethiopia, support for the RSF militia in Sudan, space opened up for al-Shabaab in Somalia, and war threats against Eritrea in pursuit of Ethiopia's goal of military access to the Red Sea. These are all realities on the ground.
Everybody must open their eyes. The peoples of Africa are paying the heaviest price for the UAE's destabilizing policies.

The UAE, Ethiopia, Israel and their regional partners are increasingly encroaching on the entire vulnerable population of Sudan.
This is bigger than a proxy war.
The world needs to pay attention.

🔴Bourgeois Scholar Henry Louis Gates Hatred Of Kwame Ture and The Black Radical Tradition
Neoliberal Henry Louis Gates has demonstrated a longstanding disdain for Kwame Ture, using his influence to discredit a recent book on Ture’s life and politics. In the video, he comes across as condescending, attempting to belittle, discredit, and talk down the legacy of Kwame Ture. He also minimized Fanon role and global relevancy.
Critics have pointed to multiple instances in his career where Gates’s work appears to compromise historical accuracy and fairness. For example, Gates was accused of scrubbing evidence of actor Ben Affleck's slave owning ancestry from an episode of his genealogy show, Finding Your Roots. Plus he pushed Abyssinian historical revisionism on the Aksum Empire & erased Eritrea from his documentary.
This decision sparked accusations that Gates prioritized Affleck’s public image over the truth, leading some to question his commitment to an honest portrayal of history. Perhaps most controversially, Gates has recently suggested that Africans share equal responsibility with Europeans for the atrocities of the transatlantic slave trade a statement that many find deeply offensive and misleading. By implying that African complicity was equivalent to European colonial exploitation, Gates risks distorting the unique role that European powers played in perpetuating the centuries long horror of the African slave trade. This stance has led critics to accuse him of "pandering to white audiences" by shifting blame away from colonial powers and defaming Black people in the process.

The Soviet Union was a product of a specific time and place and its never coming back. Still, socialist power had once extended across one-sixth of the world, a time when the capitalist world actually feared the threat of communism. We have much to learn from Soviet socialism

It’s why I’m so skeptical of the “public support for socialism is on the rise in the U.S.” claims.
Did any of those polls ask those participants to define socialism?
