In 1995, as one of the Ogoni Nine, he was hanged after protesting against Shell’s oil pollution. With education and a move towards renewable energy, we can honour his legacy

The irony of Sharaa's pragmatic relationship with the US & Russia, which was similarly weaponized against the Kurds to foment hatred and distrust of those not entirely aligned with Islamist and Arab objectives, stripping away the complexities of the moment.

If Dem Senators are truly pissed at this capitulation, they can start naming names in their caucus that pushed for it.

Let's check in on the guy in Russian occupied Donetsk that uses Instagram to sell the apartments of murdered Ukrainians for local gangsters.

This one even comes with all the personal belongings, such as cooking utensils and blankets.

Olga Lautman on Russia's fascist foundations:

"It is a strategy that hides behind religion, nationalism, and so-called “traditional values,” while methodically dismantling the democratic world from within."

When Russia launched its full-scale genocidal war against Ukraine under the banner of “denazification,” I immediately went back to Dresden.

In Myanmar, China doesn't only back the military junta but also supplies arms and other support to resistance fighters. Why? To exploit the situation and hold leverage over both sides in order to gain access to rare earth minerals. As always, the people suffer.

Patriarchy is a cornerstone of oppression that serves as the foundation for the state and all subsequent systems of control and exploitation.

Ask DSA or your favorite "socialist"/"leftist" influencer what they have to say about this...9 times out of 10, you'll get drivel about NATO or whatever...

Be wary of anyone making excuses for this type of violence against people.
This is what Myrnohrad looks like now.

As of January 1, 2022, Myrnohrad had a population of over 47 thousand people. Today, the Russians have destroyed this town.

Finally found the ICE video that I fully could not watch and it was the man having the seizure while they pulled a child from his arms.

Countries are fake, borders are fake, nothing can justify this inhumanity. It’s all just for the abstract comfort of withering country clubbers and their pawns.

Western campist orgs have the gall to exclude those actively living through Russian invasion. What a damn disgrace. Please share and follow @solcolua.bsky.social along with other orgs on this list, and if you're in the UK/EU, sign on in solidarity with Ukrainian antifascists.

Putin targets both sides of the spectrum to control the narrative. The fact that many Republicans have been captured DOES NOT mean that the left isn't entrenched with Russian assets and useful idiots.
DSA, Code Pink, PSL & a whole host of orgs in the US have been supporting Russian policy for years.
