Fighters from the Al-Yasser Brigades bring flowers to nuns in Gaza Church. During Saturday’s visit, 15 members of the resistance group gave flowers to nuns and children in Gaza in a show of solidarity and respect.
The nuns thanked fighters and affirmed their mutual feelings of a deep relationship between Palestinian Christians and Muslims. February 4, 2006.
On June 9, 1965, the people of Oman’s Dhofar province ignited their armed struggle. Motivated by Arab nationalist sentiment, the struggle aimed to overthrow the feudal Sultan Said bin Taimur, who had treated Dhofar as his personal domain.
In 1968, taking inspiration from the previous year’s success of the Yemeni National Liberation Front, the Dhofar Liberation Front changed its name to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Oman and the Arabian Gulf (PFLOAG) and officially embraced Marxism-Leninism as its fundamental ideology.
The PFLOAG drew considerable inspiration from Maoist theory and the People’s Republic of China, endeavoring to position the Omani people’s struggle within the broader context of the decolonization movement that swept across Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
I think the biggest problem with Tumblr discourse around "propaganda" is that Tumblr crackers internally define "propaganda" as "nonwhites (yes including Russians) engaging in political speech that I disagree with" and nothing else
Material factors, too, play a great part in the revolutionary movement. But the existence of material conditions does not give rise to the revolution automatically. How to make use of these material conditions depends on people’s conscious activity. Whether these material conditions are prepared quickly or not depends on man’s activity. The revolution can be pushed forward only by the active struggle of the revolutionaries and the popular masses. Fundamentally speaking, a revolution does not always break out when all the necessary conditions exist, nor is it carried out always in favourable circumstances.
Waiting with folded arms for all conditions to ripen is tantamount to refusing to make a revolution.
-Kim Jong Il, On The Juche Idea
the level of credulity with which liberal journalists treat liberal politicians is ridiculous. ah yes, the leader of conservative party is somehow too naive and well intentioned to realize that her party's anti migrant rhetoric contributed to the recent pogroms
men really be like “well this woman has studied this subject her whole life, and i am a man, so we have equal knowledge on this”
it’s ok you could have just said “i hate men”
okay, i hate men

the capitalist class will always try to undermine the currents of leftwing ideology that are most dangerous to it. and every time it succeeds, it will try to do the same again, moving the left ever rightwards. there's no level of resistance against capitalist oppression that's acceptable to them in absolute terms, only a level that they have to accept for the time being in order to be effective
the same government and media who tried to justify Israel's genocide of the Palestinians are the ones who taught you to fear communism
the obvious question for any liberal is this: if we live in a democracy, why is your ass desperately scrambling to vote for the lesser evil each election, instead of for a party that has a worthwhile vision of the future for ordinary workers? you already realize the system is rigged to favour of billion dollar corporations, don't you? so be honest and stop calling your capitalist country a democracy

Frankly, I don't buy the theory that the repeated sweeping deletions of trans women's blogs have principally been the product of bad-faith mass reporting campaigns abusing automated moderation. I've been falsely mass-reported before, on multiple occasions, and nothing's ever come of it. Someone is pulling that trigger.
things got pretty bad here idk what prompted this my partner is trying to turn it around and calm down his dad but right now my trans kids and me aren't safe here

we got a lot of my safe foods from throne thank u so so much just scheduled the delivery to a pick up spot so it doesnt arrive home and we can get them for ourselves
would anyone hate me if i concede to my kids to stay just one more night and go back tomorrow?
we would just need $80 to cover it since we won't be staying another full day
please?
could still use some help please
thanks for sending me that link to your western newspaper explaining why we shouldn't side with the countries actively working to destroy the capitalist system and put an end to american imperialism - unfortunately i couldn't read the article because the thing was so thoroughly drenched in blood i couldn't make out a single letter
you gotta be fucking with me, right?
literally doing the whole "I wish femininity was as impossible for me as it is for you!"
Israel has once again cut off all aid to Gaza and closed all crossings into the strip, intensifying its genocidal blockade as the population
Israel has once again cut off all aid to Gaza and closed all crossings into the strip, intensifying its genocidal blockade as the population faces widespread disease and malnutrition.
The move, announced by the Israeli military’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (Cogat), comes after Iran launched missiles at Israel on Sunday in retaliation for its strikes against Lebanon.
Israel has repeatedly violated its ceasefire agreements with Hamas and Hezbollah, killing hundreds in both Gaza and Lebanon in recent months as it seizes control of more land.
The apartheid state last cut off all entry to Gaza in late February following the outbreak of the US and Israel’s illegal war on Iran.
...
Cogat said in a post on X on Monday that crossings into Gaza would be closed “until further notice”. It falsely claimed the move “will not affect the humanitarian situation” in Gaza.
only 150-200 of the 550-600 needed trucks of aid were allowed to enter each day anyway. this is going to kill so many people
Excerpts from S.T.A.R.
quotes from Sylvia Rivera and Marsha P. Johnson on the position of trans women within stonewall and U.S. Pride (statements from Rivera unless stated otherwise)
I met Huey Newton at the Peoples’ Revolutionary Convention in Philadelphia in 1971. Huey decided we were part of the revolution - that we were revolutionary people. I was a radical, a revolutionist. I am still a revolutionist. I was proud to make the road and help change laws and what-not. I was very proud of doing that and proud of what I’m still doing, no matter what it takes. Today, we have to fight back against the government. We have to fight them back. They’re cutting back Medicaid, cutting back on medicine for people with AIDS. They want to take away from women on welfare and put them into that little work program. They’re going to cut SSI. Now they’re taking away food stamps. These people who want the cuts-these people are making millions and millions and millions of dollars as CEOs. Why is the government going to take it away from us? What they’re doing is cutting us back. Why can’t we have a break? I’m glad I was in the Stonewall riot. I remember when someone threw a Molotov cocktail, I thought: “My god, the revolution is here. The revolution is finally here!” I always believed that we would have a fight back. I just knew that we would fight back. I just didn’t know it would be that night. I am proud of myself as being there that night. If I had lost that moment, I would have been kind of hurt because that’s when I saw the world change for me and my people. Of course, we still got a long way ahead of us.
At the time, there were many demonstrations. They were fierce demonstrations back then. I don’t know how many people remember those times, or how many people read of the struggle in this whole country, what was going on. So then the tactical police force came and heads were being bashed left and right. But what I found very impressive that evening, was that the more that they beat us, the more we went back for. We were determined that evening that we were going to be a liberated, free community, which we did acquire that. Actually, I’ll change the ‘we’: You have acquired your liberation, your freedom, from that night: Myself: I’ve got shit, just like I had back then. But I still struggle, I still continue the struggle. I will struggle til the day I die and my main struggle right now is that my community will seek the rights that are justly ours
The reason we, right now, as a trans community, don’t have all the rights they have is that we allowed them to speak for us for so many damn years, and we bought everything they said to us: “Oh, let us pass our bill, then we’ll come for you.” Yeah, come for me. Thirty-two years later and they’re still coming for me. And what have we got? Here, where it all started, trans people have nothing. We can no longer let people like the Empire State Pride Agenda, the HRC in Washington, speak for us. And it really hurts me that some gay people don’t even know what we gave for their movement. It’s like I was saying all this year during pride month: “It’s not my pride, it’s their pride. It’s your pride, not mine. You haven’t given me mine yet.” I have nothing to be proud of except that I’ve helped liberate gays around the world. I have so many children and I’m still sitting on the back of the bus, still struggling to get kids into proper housing, and to get them education, to get them off drugs.
Interviewer: I remember when STAR was first formed there was a lot of discussion about the special oppression that transvestites experience. Can you say something about that? Marsha P. Johnson: We still feel oppression by other gay brothers. Gay sisters don’t think too bad of transvestites. Gay brothers do. I went to a dance at Gay Activist Alliance last week, and there was not even one gay brother that came over and said hello. They’d say hello, but they’d get away very quick. The only transvestites they were very friendly with were the ones that looked freaky in drag, like freak drag, with no tits, no nothing. Well, I can’t help but have tits, they’re mine. And those men weren’t too friendly at all. Once in a while, I get an invitation to Daughters of Bilitis, and when I go there, they’re always warm. All the gay sisters come over and say, “Hello, we’re glad to see you,” and they start long conversations. But not the gay brothers. They’re not too friendly at all toward transvestites. Interviewer: Do you understand why? Do you have any explanation for that? Marsha: Of course I can understand why. A lot of gay brothers don’t like women! And transvestites remind you of women. A lot of gay brothers don’t feel too close to women, they’d rather be near men, that’s how come they’re gay. And when they see a transvestite coming, she reminds them of a woman automatically, and they don’t want to get too close or too friendly with her.
Oh, yeah, we mixed with lesbians. We always got along together back then. All that division between the lesbian women and queens came after 1974 when Jean O’Leary and the radical lesbians came up. The radicals did not accept us or masculine-looking women who dressed like men. And those lesbian women might not even have been trans. But we did get along famously in the early ‘60s. I’ve been to many a dyke party. And transgendered men back then were living and working. I met many who were working and living as men with their female lovers. They were highly respected. The lesbian community today has a lot to learn from the old ways of the lesbian community
STAR: This is the question that is running through our minds. Do you really want Gay Power or are you looking for a few laughs or maybe a little excitement. We are not quite sure what you people really want. IF you want Gay Liberation then you’re going to have to fight for it. We don’t mean tomorrow or the next day, we are talking about today. We can never possibly win by saying “wait for a better day” or “we’re not ready yet” If you’re ready to tell people that you want to be free, then your ready to fight. And if your not ready then shut up and crawl back into your closets. But let us ask you this, Can you really live in a closet? We cant.
