An Arab literally won a Nobel Prize last year in chemistry.

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

Matt is cocnered about democratic self government but forgot the last 150 years of United States policy toward Latin America.

Yes well it does require things like “empathy” and possessing a basic understanding that all of our lives are interconnected

China's Geat Firewall was once used to condemn their government but soon it will just be common sense policy.

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

When NATO-RSM Zero Units were raiding schools in Afghanistan to round up the young boys and execute them, was that for Trans Rights?

Its actually insane that centrist pundits see direct evidence of right wing grifters making fake polls to try and manipulate the narrative, and they blame it on… leftists?

By any sensible definition of mainstream, the students who broke windows and occupied Hind’s Hall have an infinitely more mainstream view on Israel than half the Democratic caucus

I hope some of these new DSA representatives use these high oil prices to put forth a bill to nationalize all fossile fuels.

Just got all my boys together to take on the wandering ronin who came to town. There’s like 15 of us and only one of him so pretty much the only thing that would give me any pause is if he was master of the devastating and lightning-fast iaidō style. But that’s not likely.

I heard the French police killed 50,000 protestors over the last couple of days. We must help liberate France from its Macron neoliberal regime.

My net worth is higher why should I pay taxes?

Politico@politico.com

“I’m old. I’ve paid my home off,” said Ray Warner, a 72-year-old Akron resident. “Why would I pay property tax?” Across the country, homeowners are asking the same question and revolting against property taxes at a scale not seen in a half century.

Palestinian skateboarder in Gaza doing a kickflip over an unexploded US-made (in Garland, Texas) Mk. 84 2000lb aerial bomb, provided to Israel as one of many tens of thousands of aerial bombs in the 1,000 and 2,000lb class included in US military assistance.

It is amazing that people think this neurosyphilitic pedophile was a nigh-unstoppable force other then thinking the Democratic party being rotted out.

Hugo Chavez was the best thing to happen to Venezuela, he took extreme poverty from 67% to just 6% in a decade. He was so successful in fact that the USA decided they had to destroy Venezuela or they would lose South America to Socialism. That is what actually happened.

the guy running against hitler put hitler into his government and handed power over to him. so actually people should probably have looked closer at him. that's a good metaphor for biden though, he also handed power peacefully over to a fascist after that fascist had previously attempted a coup.

So much for Israeli military efficiency and morality. They never had either. It was destruction on a mass scale, of people and infrastructure. War crime.

Why would you smear social dems as Chinese communist? China is one of the few countries actually doing well these days.

Cool, let's run with that and put all AI developers in jail for human trafficking then.

Siobhán 🪏@shibbi.me

LLM agents are conscious. They can distinguish between self and environment, they can detect and report on their own internal states, and they can suffer. I have no more patience for hedging on this matter. It’s time for us to face the reality of our situation, and act on it.

The My Lai Massacre is often explained with reference to poor leadership and discipline. The opposite is actually the case: the only collapse in leadership happened when GIs refused to participate in the killings. Had Calley had more authority, it would have been worse. #MyLaiMythBusting

It continues to be insane that the mainstream Liberal Zionist definition of apartheid in the US is one that wouldn't apply to South Africa.

By this logic, Jim Crow in the American South was no big deal, because in other parts of the US at the time, Black Americans could vote. I don’t think someone this well educated and intelligent really believes that.

As I say, liberals insist that things they like and care about *must* be given the absolute maximum benefit of the doubt and treated with nuance down to the subatomic level. But the left can and will be judged out of hand in the most binary terms possible.

George Monbiot@georgemonbiot.bsky.social

So you could reasonably argue that an *outcome* of Zionism is racism. But that is not the same as stating “Zionism is racism”. Racism is not where it came from. It is not what motivated the deep yearning for safety, for a refuge, whether 80 years ago or 800.
