i'm on the edge of my seat while two rich, detached and distant war criminals trade rhetorical barbs about a fast casual restaurant chain neither of them have been anywhere near in 20 years

It's easy to feel that a dictatorship's actions don't, in some sense, represent "the people" or "the national character". It's harder to feel that way about a country that is functionally a democracy. It creates a lot of complicated emotions to be anti-atrocity.

another hot take: I think one thing that differentiates US atrocities from atrocities committed by dictatorships is that most systemic US atrocities come from a place of broad popular support. Here I think of the early GWOT torture policies, lynching, Jim Crow, etc.

Sa archipelago ng 115 million na tao, kailangan talaga ng swabeng sweeping public communication. Kung mismong tayo ay tamad magshare ng content ng ating mga orgs, napakahirap makaabot sa daan-daang libo at milyon-milyong dapat nating

Gentle reminder at pakiusap sa mga kapwa progresibo na sipagan pa at gawing matik na ang reposting, sharing, commenting, engaging with materials released by progressive orgs.

Didn't we all hate Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth? I wonder why the qrts in these seem to be Republican bots. Remember Trump-Hegseth-Netanyahu-Putin-Xi is just the same axis the more we realize that the better we actually mobilize against the far right!
LOOK: Students from the University of the Philippines Diliman hold a banner calling for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from the Philippines following the arrival of U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth for the 20th ASEAN Defense Ministers’ Meeting on Wednesday, October 28, 2026.
The protesters denounce Hegseth as a key enforcer of the Trump administration’s militarist agenda, accusing the U.S. government of expanding its military presence and preparing for heightened confrontation with China in the Asia-Pacific region. They also oppose the proposed development of PAX Silica, an advanced manufacturing park intended to support artificial intelligence (AI) supply chains, citing concerns over its potential impact on Filipino farmers, Indigenous communities, and the environment.

suits, hawks, & ghouls foaming at the mouth at "US troops out." in a time when the deepest oil crisis & steepest prices since '73 prevail, a genocide of 180k per the lancet continues, & pax silica promises to steamroll ayta land, the USAF represents an empire of death everywhere.

the main themes in the article are the large numbers of human agents involved, the use of Patriot Act tools to fulfill the Patriot Act's always intended purpose of furthering new COINTELPRO, and the integration of modern surveillance technology with the former

TINGNAN: Ipinaskil sa kahabaan ng Katipunan ang ilang mga panawagan ng pagtutol ng isang progresibong grupo laban sa pagtatayo ng proyektong Pax Silica, ilang linggo mula sa inaasahang pagdalaw ni U.S. President Donald Trump sa paparating na 49th ASEAN Summit.
Saad ng naturang organisasyon, kasangkapan ang street art sa kanilang pakikibaka upang bawiin ang mga pampublikong espasyong "kontrolado ng naghaharing uri", kasabay ang pagpapanawagan laban sa kultura ng impunidad at sensura na pinapalaganap ng estado.

Fed up with the Prabowo regime, Universitas Trisakti students have walked off campus and are still marching to the State Palace. Prabowo's security forces are blocking the road to prevent protesters from getting through. #Indonesia

so pointing out that the AFP massacred the fausto family in himamaylan in 2023, down to their 11- & 15-year-old sons, & dropped white phosphorus near elementary schools causing kids to run & hide, is communism apparently

Even if you were to accept the need for ICE’s immigration enforcement aspects, it’s absolutely clear that ICE has become unacceptably politicized into a general ideological paramilitary, and therefore must be disbanded by any democratic government
