gosh i wonder which missile components testing site is down the street from an irs building in utah. (i'm not going to say it. but i am going to say "quit your job before somebody sends this to your boss and they check the issue date on your driver's license")
No words honestly
I don't understand why
imagine living in a country with more guns than people, and this is how you 'protest'
yeah shoving a bunch of dildos through a chain-link fence at a facility where children are being raped and impregnated by fascists is really "doing something"
" i am better than you because i feed 'people' " i would have more respect for deej were she actively posioning yankees. surely, philanthropy is not a market you should be competing in, not when u have so many magnanimous billionaires in your colony

"What does the Black Panther Party mean when we say that we are revolutionary intercommunalists? In a few words, we believe that the world's people form a collection of communities, all dominated or controlled, either directly or indirectly, by the United States, by those few who rule the United States. ... We struggle here inside the United States to get rid of our oppression. Others struggle inside their territorial boundaries to get rid of oppression. The more territory we liberate in the world, the closer we will come to an end to all oppression. The common factor that binds us all is not only the fact of oppression but the oppressor: the United States Government and its ruling circle. We, the people of the world, have been brought together under strange circumstances. We are united against a common enemy. ... That enemy has rolled up into one large hand the power of the world. If we get rid of this enemy in a united common struggle it will be easy to transform this unity into a common scheme of things. We are not separate nations of men to continue the pattern of fighting amongst ourselves. We are a large collection of communities who can unite and fight together against our common enemy. The United States' domination over all our territories equals a reactionary (in opposition to the interests of all) set of circumstances among our communities: Reactionary Intercommunalism. We can transform these circumstances to all our benefit: Revolutionary Intercommunalism. ... This is why we should not let the reactionaries of the world be the only ones communicating across the waters and masses of land. We have a common interest to serve, and therefore, we can learn from each other. What happens here affects our brothers in Africa; what happens in Africa affects us. The United States has seen to this. But this is good. We can learn to fight together, though separated."
Huey P. Newton, "uniting against a common enemy: October 23, 1971," in The Huey P. Newton Reader
You can only ever be who you are. Who you could have been would simply not be you! She would be unrecognizable to you. There is no transcendent, cosmic, essential self. There is/are only the sel(ves) which literally exist(s), as consequence of the string of decisions and events that created them. If you had “locked in” at age 13, that person would be unrecognizable to you, so much so that they would simply not be you. There is no such thing as a soul. The self is an infinitely changing procession of momentary, fleeting embodiments.
Take comfort, comrade: Dialectical Materialism Is True!
keep seeing all these people posting about how happy they are to see these nasa photos. a little hollow considering what’s happening to the planet, and the people who released the photo are the same fascist scum helping destroy the world, but what do i know.
I saw a post of a female astronaut, the caption was “I’m not crying, you’re crying. A woman is one of the people looking at our planet from this view for the first time” or some shit.
And it’s like. Man. How many women are getting brutally massacred by the same government posting these images. How many future scientists and mathematicians and pilots and whatever else are just killed without a chance while everyone gets to lib out over NASA for a few days. Fuck
It is literally the essence of libbing out to only care about the idea of something while ignoring the material conditions that brought it about.
I'm sorry, you can not just be excited about science because this science is drenched in blood. People died to extract the materials the US used to make and launch the rocket. People died in the climate disasters created by the US and the corporations it protects. People died in the wars the US starts to further its own interest. NASA is a part of the US and can not be separated from the suffering it causes.
Not all science is doomed, China is doing great work in space right now that you could be excited about. But science does not exist outside the world it was created in and we have to treat it as such.
I disagree, i think you can acknowlege/be cognizant that nasa is powered by us imperialism while still being happy that those resources are being used for something that isn't evil; even if the resources and humans and systems that constructed the thing are bad that doesn't necessarily mean the thing itself is bad; i think the artemis mission has the potential to have positive consequences for how people in this country view science, and that's worth celebrating even though the us government is fucked
Baby's opinion, try harder next time.

Since we seem to love reading so much around here
LOL WIKIPEDIA
Wow all these words about how its bad that people are celebrating something an evil imperial power did and a scant 2 words defending the fact that you're doing the same thing. You'll forgive me if I'm unipressed
Let me be clear: no such thing is a Uyghur genocide! This is a very easy google search to learn anything about xinjiang! An exciting opportunity to learn some new facts and things!
the really frustrating thing about the old Uyghur line is just how blatantly bullshit it is upon even the slightest interrogation. we know exactly what a genocide looks like! it's been broadcast live on every social media feed for 3 years now from Palestine! you can literally GO to Ürümqi right now and see with your eyes! if we're sticking with wikipedia links (lol), then do we really think these guys here or this guy here are trustworthy and unbiased sources of information with regards to China and its goings-on? really? it's insulting. the "Uyghur Genocide" is about as extant as the "White Genocide" here in the states.
I keep seeing posts along the lines of “you can’t say nuke the US you have to say landback, when discussing the imperial core you have to make exemptions for indigenous Americans, etc.” And first off. Stop tone policing the primary targets of US imperialism, we will express our frustrations with your continued slaughter of our people and destruction of lands however we see fit. But also like. Ok. We must exempt indigenous Americans when talking about imperialism. Sure. Answer me this real quick though, have indigenous Americans, historically, exempt themselves from the crimes of empire? Actually you don’t have to answer, I already know. The answer is no. Native Americans have the highest per-capita military enlistment rate of any ethnic group in the United States. Close to one out of every five native Americans have served in the US army.
It is not unreasonable to extrapolate then that for many in my region, who have never been to the US, their only real-life encounters with indigenous Americans would have been whenever they’d come over wearing uniforms to slaughter/displace us and steal our resources. Just like European colonisers did to their ancestors. Identical in role and function to their non-indigenous counterparts. And such is pretty much true of all marginalised citizens of the imperial core! and it is a glaring contradiction to their histories of marginalisation/colonisation, but it is not on us to will that inconvenient reality away just because the idea of internationalist decolonial solidarity, one that has never really materially existed in any meaningfully capacity, is a prettier story to tell than what is actually going on. It is on you all to make that no longer the reality.
I think if you’re a USAmerican anti-imperialist, you should reconcile with those facts first—the complicity, however minor, of literally all communities and demographic groups living within the imperial core, including your own—and work on that before you start demanding exemptions from anything the people of the imperial periphery have found pertinent to include you in. God bless

really hard to view artemis ii as anything other than an advertising gimmick/source of revenue for all of nasa’s darling private contractors such as Lockheed
what a delightful little list of completely benign partners who won juicy big fat contracts and industry prestige from the Artemis Program. absolutely just Science for Science’s Sake here. I Fucking Love Science!
TKP Secretary Okuyan: “There is no panic or surrender in [Cuba's] society” (14.03.2026)
Okuyan, secretary of the Communist Party of Turkey, shared his observations following a visit to Cuba, emphasizing that despite severe conditions, society remains resilient.
Stating that “Cuba is facing very harsh circumstances,” Okuyan said that electricity outages are frequent and ongoing. “When I was there, there was a major blackout. It was repaired, but even in its restored state, power comes and goes every 10 minutes,” he noted.
He explained that transportation has not come to a complete halt, with vehicles carrying food supplies still operating. Authorities and citizens are also finding alternative solutions, such as using solar-powered three-wheeled vehicles.
Okuyan highlighted that the situation in hospitals is particularly concerning, as power cuts pose serious risks to patients. He added that due to the longstanding embargo, Cuba is unable to obtain not only fuel but also the materials needed to repair dams and transmission lines.
“The United States tightens its grip on Cuba’s throat and then calls it a ‘failed state,’” Okuyan said. “However, there is no panic or surrender within society. There are no protests. We visited the most affected areas and saw not unrest, but a hardworking spirit focused on finding solutions.”
"Not expecting a direct attack would be a weakness."
The secretary also responded to a question about whether intervention by the United States against Cuba is expected. “Not expecting a direct attack would be a serious weakness. They anticipate the possibility of an attack. They say, ‘We do not want it,’ but also stress that ‘if the United States were to target Cuba, the response would be very harsh,’” he said.
He added that despite tensions, the Cuban people remain in high spirits. “When I was there, the thing that upset people the most was losing to Canada in baseball,” he noted.
guys I think civilisation is declining because of technology. no yeah all the other times when people said that they were just doing moral panics and right-wing hysteria but this time I really think technology is turning us into stupid degenerates
presumably if the staff here makes the user experience so terrible that everyone leaves, then they can finally justify shutting the servers off and moving on to something else. cause it's never really seemed to me that the people running tumblr actually want to be doing that.

Yet another new study debunked the basis for the anti-trans sports bans. It was never about sports but for creating legal avenues for exclusion and abjection. This is one of the largest analyses ever conducted, involving 52 studies and 6,485 trans people. Read the study here.
Another limitation of the existing literature is its predominant focus on physiological outcomes, with little consideration of the social, psychological and cultural factors that also shape sport performance (eg, stigmatisation, discrimination, access to opportunities, self-concept, self-esteem). Transgender individuals are known to face elevated risks of adverse mental health outcomes,[79] largely due to systemic stigma and discrimination across multiple contexts,[80{ including sports.[81] [82] Yet, the impact of these sociocultural factors on athletic engagement and achievement remains insufficiently addressed in the available studies and, consequently, in this review.
The thing about the 30~50k protesters killed in two days nonsense is it's classic video game-addled thinking by people who don't understand how the world works. Even presuming that a third or so of those deaths would've happened in Tehran, municipal morgues don't have the capacity to accommodate a spike 10~16 thousand excess deaths over the usual death rate. The kind of makeshift accommodations (read: mass graves) necessary to deal with such a situation would be Literally visible from space. So where are the satellite photos huh?
The idea that 30-50k were killed was originally reported from Iran International, which is a Saudi funded media outlet that is viciously critical of Iran and its government.

In general we ought to be kinder to everyone but I think we need to be a lot meaner to MFAs. "I know you went to Iowa Writing Workshop but this is trash, sweetheart" should be on all of our lips at all times. Give me Hunter S. Thompson chews out Anthony Burgess as a decade-long cultural event.
