My latest @NatCounterPunch assessing the opportunities and challenges of organizing a left politics among Asian Americans. This topic, I feel, still isn’t as explored as it should be. I include insights from left organizers that I think are amazing.

If you must watch TV series, get off anything produced by Hollywood to smuggle Genocidal Yt Empire propaganda into the very structure of your thinking (yes, Andor too!) and start with this inspiring series that @OzmuC has most ably subtitled in English.

This is one of the most disgusting scenes I have seen in a while.
A humble Muslim delivery man shows up to do work at this Hindu woman's house in India. His azan app goes off at the prayer time. She proceeds to deliver him a humiliating lecture ON VIDEO and posts it to the whole world.
She yells at him that it's her Hindu festival today and that his azan went off, as if he did it on purpose. The service sector man hangs his head, apologizes repeatedly, and she harangues him ON VIDEO like a vile breed of creature unknown to humanity - then she yells at him "Stop this dominance!"
She yells at him for having consumed tobacco before arrival (what, now you're going to discipline every delivery guy for his personal habits??) She claims that the azan is all about dominance: when he starts to protest, she says "I'm a Kashmiri Pandit, I know Urdu, I know all about this."
This kind of genocidally hateful person apparently now constitutes a majority of India and if I were to say what should happen to her, I would be banned. This video is harassment and bullying and should be taken down. May God comfort your heart, Khalid, we stand with you. This is absolutely wrong and you do not deserve any of this garbage.
Flipkart delivery boy Khalid started doing azaan at a woman's home

URGENT🚨: We’re witnessing unprecedented voter suppression here in Brazil. Far-right governors are targeting the poor & the marginalized – & shutting down their access to polling stations. We must wake up! Whether it’s Trump or Bolsonaro, authoritarians fear the people’s voice!

Zizek's 'moderately conservative communism' is also somehow a communism that praises Biden and insists that American socialists remain steadfast reformers of the Democratic Party.
Fake "Marxist" celebrity Slavoj Zizek opposes the protests in France because they're violent, but he praises the violent US-backed, fascist-led 2014 Ukraine coup and violent protests in Iran.
He also openly supports NATO and the proxy war in Ukraine, after he backed NATO's wars on Syria and Libya.
Zizek is just another pro-imperialist socdem who uses "radical" rhetoric to cover up the fact that he is usually on the same side as US capital (going back to when he started his career as an anti-communist "dissident" in Yugoslavia, running for office with a right-wing neoliberal party).

I’m pretty happy USSR brought my grandmother down from the inhospitable Caucasian mountains and settled her in the plains and then gave her an education, a job, even a hobby (she made her own skin care line) and an amazing apartment in the city of Tbilisi.
(Her personality was still a bit harsh like the mountain environment though 😃)

Journalist surprised to find that some journalists actually do journalism
Did @DropSiteNews knowingly publish illegally obtained classified CIA intelligence?
On October 5, the outlet co-published Aída Chávez’s story claiming a secret CIA assessment warned Israel could descend into civil war.
That date is now in an FBI leak affidavit🧵

Israel’s defenders: It’s not a genocide
Israelis: Palestinians must leave or we’ll kill them
A young blonde woman with an American accent in Israel says that all the Arabs must be kicked out of Gaza because it is "our land" since "God commanded us to take it."
The Palestinians should be kicked out to any other Arab state, she continues, except Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria, "because they are ours."
"Or we will kill them," she adds
Can we stop pretending that this is a marginal view in Israel? That these are the comments of a fringe minority?
They are not. Israel has been on this path for quite some time.
Western governments know it fully - yet they continue to fund and enable Israel's genocidal policies.
Btw I’ll be on @MAKCapitalism talking Asian American politics and possible radicalism Tuesday morning! 🙌🏽📚

"It's about making sure that he represents black folks the same way he represents his own nationality, and that's what I didn't see."
"Can you give me an example?"
"No."

Palestinians support free speech and free press. Israel opposes both.
Israel is NOT a democracy. They cosplay one so US politicans have an excuse for arming a genocide.
“If those Palestinians hadn’t come and started throwing rocks, I probably would not have survived,” veteran Washington Post photojournalist Heidi Levine told Jasper Nathaniel after she was brutally beaten by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank, according to Nathaniel.
Speaking to Ben Rhodes on Pod Save the World, Nathaniel recounted the details of the October 16 attack on Palestinian olive harvesters, how Palestinian villagers risked their lives to rescue Levine, and how Israeli soldiers subsequently shot a Palestinian man and blocked paramedics.
“Do Palestinians have a right to defend themselves through armed struggle, if that’s what it takes?” Nathaniel asked.
“And if not, do you suggest they lay down and die and let their village get overrun and let Heidi Levine get killed and accept the fate that the settlers have in mind for them, which they will openly tell you is to wipe them off the map?”

Is L.A. mayoral candidate Nithya Raman a capitalist?
"I'm a capitalist and I'm also a Democratic Socialist...we need to make sure capitalism works without harm to workers... to poor people."
She says the DSA is a "big tent" but she disagrees with members who call to abolish police, prisons and the Senate.
