We Will Rue The Day
On the evening of June 9, the USA, with what seems to be intent, attacked two reservoirs and a water treatment facility in southern Iran. Almost immediately afterwards, water was cut off to about 20,000 Iranian civilians who live around the southern Iranian town of Sirik.
Why was this most likely a deliberate attack? Well, there seems to have been nothing nearby of military value and the destruction was precise.
"Dogwhistles" are called that based on real "dog whistles", many of which are pitched too high to be audible to most humans, but are still perfectly audible to dogs.
Rhetorical dogwhistles are things that most people would not be able to identify as bigoted because they're INTENDED to have plausible deniability.
The wording changes are meant to be subtle enough that people really can mix them up accidentally when they don't have much information!
So when the gender critical movement calls trans women "transwomen", they're hoping for 2 things.
this usage will spread enough among people who don't know any better, to give transphobes the plausible deniability of not LOOKING like a frothing bigot constantly.
the usage grammatically places trans women in a different category than other women; it's changing "trans" from an adjective to part of a noun to make this distinction.
The more we can avoid this usage, the less deniability have transmisogynists have when using it, and the less rhetorical ground we cede to the degendering and misgendering of trans women.
I don't actually think ceding this ground is LESS divisive than pointing it out politely.
It looks like Americans and other US-adjacent folks on Tumblr dot com have already forgotten that the US is the one who started the war against Iran by bombing a school full of children.
if the CPUSA were a transfem, she'd be chewing out anyone with purple hair or neo pronouns for making us look weird
Every UK and Irish news outlet rn is opting for bullshit euphemisms like “unrest” and pussyfooting around calling what just happened in Belfast what it fucking was; a pogrom. Nazis attempted a pogrom of (primarily black African) migrants.
please help two brazilian trans women escape an abusive household
hi, everyone. the situation at home has gotten progressively worse, with my father turning physically abusive and breaking my nose a few weeks ago. Me and my gf need help to leave the house and rent a small place for ourselves, as well as pay for our meds and hrt. We are kind of in a desperate situation right now, and any amount would really help us.
Become a supporter of 0Kyrie today!

so many of you only support trans women you find attractive and it is so fucking misogynistic
One thing I'm grateful for about Twitter is the way it opens my eyes to how ethnic supremacists are the same no matter their nationality. They all use the same rhetoric about the group they decide to hate. I'm humbled that my thesis that nationalism is the biggest scam on earth is proven true.
They wrap their weaknesses in flags and call it love for their country, but it's just greed dressed up as loyalty. The moment you scratch the surface, every supremacist no matter ethnicity sings from the same hymnbook: 'We are the Chosen people, they are less.'
I'm grateful to Twitter for making this so visible that the scam can no longer hide.
There has been over the years a proliferation of MRA rhetoric about family courts as an example of 'anti male biases/ misandry' in society. These arguments are based on nothing other than lies and vibes that are easily absorbed as under the conditions of patriarchy it is hardly difficult to convince people that women are evil privileged bitches who live life on easy mode.
This idea is, in simple terms, absolute nonsense that persists for no reason other than misogyny.
It has been shown time and time again before this UK article + study that family courts are institutionally biased against women despite what most people believe. A woman who alleges abuse against her ex partner is MORE likely to lose her case and access to kids then those who don't. (1) Claims of 'parental alienation' further compound this (2). Especially, as these legal processes are often used by male abusers as a way to maintain access to their ex female partners in order to further harm, abuse, and degrade them (3).
Family courts are not bias against fathers or men, they are not stacked in favour of the mother, and they certainly don't just let women 'take the kids and money and run'. They, like all major institutions formed under the conditions of patriarchy, are deeply misogynistic in their functions, treatments, and outcome.
MRAs lie. Misandry isn't real.

yes, I want conditions to improve for women in [named country], which is why I don't want the US and its allies invading, bombing, or fomenting a coup there. for every wonderful story of a woman in Kabul getting a better education and an exciting new job while Afghanistan was occupied by NATO, there was a woman in a rural village who wept over her children after they got limbs blown off. this isn't an isolated situation. what happened in places like Chile or Guatemala after US backed coups? in Guatemala's case it led to a civil war where the state committed genocide against the indigenous population, while in Chile Pinochet's regime imprisoned, tortured, and killed their opposition just as brutally. there's an endless list of atrocities that have come from Western intervention, because shock horror, these interventions aren't actually a means of helping anyone but Western capitalists. the humanitarianism justifications the West started using in the 90s are just propaganda
Mexico amends its constitution to cut the maximum workweek from 48 to 40 hours by 2030 and gives 13.5 million workers the legal right to ign
Mexico amends its constitution to cut the maximum workweek from 48 to 40 hours by 2030 and gives 13.5 million workers the legal right to ignore their boss’s calls, messages, and emails after their shift ends, in the most significant overhaul of Mexican labor law in a generation.
Mexico has rewritten its constitution to guarantee every worker in the country a shorter working week, a legal right to switch off from work after hours, and a guarantee that no employer can cut their pay in response, enacting in a single legislative package a set of labor rights that workers in wealthier countries have spent decades campaigning for without success.
Mexican unions and the Communist Party of Mexico have opposed this 40-hour workday reform, calling it rushed, deceptive and exploitative.
In its current state, the amendment still does not guarantee 2 days of rest (only one). Notably, it increases maximum possible overtime hours from 9 (paid double) to a whopping 12 (paid double) plus 4 (paid triple). With the workweek now 8 hours shorter, employers are incentivized to make use of these 7 additional overtime hours to compensate.
Additionally, the amendment allows an employment contract to define a "flexible" workday. This would allow, for example, a weekly schedule of three workdays lasting 12 hours each (the maximum). Previously, the maximum was 11 hours (8 ordinary, 3 overtime). This could also allow for schedules where certain time windows or activities are excluded from the work day, and thus from the employer's legal responsibilities.
Back in 2025, the CPM had already criticized the reform for being the result of a "dialogue" between all involved parties - excluding workers. In February, unions had already made the above criticisms, and the National Front for 40 Hours had denounced the government's last-minute cancelation of an audience, deceptive claims about supposed consensus, and general rejection of any dialogue.
The Trade Union Workers Section of the Communist Party of Mexico calls for the Mexican working class to reject capitalist counter-reforms, to organize, and to keep fighting for a 35-hour week with 2 days of rest.
out trans people like to try to convince closeted/repressed trans people who are in a position to transition, to transition as soon as possible, by saying "i badly regret not starting earlier". i don't think it's a very effective argument on its own. most closeted/repressed trans people have heard the same thing numerous times, they're deathly aware of it, they're already wracked with the regret of not transitioning today, every single day. simply telling them that the regret never leaves you doesn't have any convincing power. it might only make them feel even more hopeless or guilty. to draw from my honest personal experience, i would instead tell them:
"eventually—maybe slowly, and not always all the time, but surely—you'll notice that the regret of not starting earlier is drowned out by the joy and contentness of finally feeling truer to yourself. you won't have to live stuck permanently ruminating on past what-could-have-beens anymore, you'll be able to live in the present as yourself."
Winter in the DPRK
Many Western communists want the LPR and DPR to remain unrecognized, impoverished, sanctioned microstates as this retains their purity and supportability. Fortunately, Russian and Ukrainian Marxists aren't so foolish and understand that it's better to end the Ukrainian occupation of Donbass, even with the help of the dreaded Russia, than to abandon the region to its fate when NATO funding eventually wins out against People’s militias.
