crazy situation in Kenya rn, 10 shot dead by pigs, parliament stormed

So the strategy for Coups these days basically involve occupying a building then saying you control everything.

how do you not just completely fall into despair living as a vulnerable minority in the United States at this moment. what does a future even look like

In 2020, I nearly died from mysterious industrial chemical exposure at my home. Later I discovered my employer (Apple) was dumping toxic waste into our windows from their Skunkworks semiconductor fab next-door. I tipped off EPA, who raided them in 2023. EPA just sent me the report

September Debate would be fire when Biden's Dementia gets worse. Hope he just dies while shouting at Trump about why Chocolate Chocolate Chip is the best ice cream flavour.

Yesterday the Palestinian Youth Movement called out the squad and the DSA for their support of Biden

PYM's response to recent attacks and demonization of the Palestinian liberation movement in the United States by opportunists and members of the so-called "American left":

For the last 9 months, people all across the United States have organized in opposition to Israel’s genocide, and for the last 9 months, the Biden administration has ignored our mass movement, continuing to arm and facilitate this genocide. Biden and all elected officials who have endorsed him have blood of over 40,000 Palestinians on their hands. Elected officials — self-proclaimed as progressive or otherwise — who have voted to send money to the Zionist entity, or who have vilified the movement for Palestine, have the blood of our people on their hands.

As we near the 2024 elections, we know that these same elected officials will try to garner support from our community and movement. They, alongside the so-called progressive organizations endorsing them, will use the rhetoric of “lesser of two evils,” “vote out fascism” and “vote blue no matter who” to try to pressure us to back the very politicians responsible for genocide. And when we refuse — which we will — they will blame Palestinian organizations and communities for Republican victories. Let us be clear: the Democrats have no one to blame but themselves.

In the last few weeks, Democratic Socialists of America electeds Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Jamaal Bowman smeared the Palestine movement, targeting @WOLPalestine for organizing a protest outside an exhibit meant to manufacture further consent for the genocide of our people. Following these smears and in response to AOC, Bowman, and Sanders’ endorsement of genocider-in-chief Joe Biden, WOL called for a protest outside a rally organized by AOC. What followed was a smear campaign against WOL, with so called progressives aiming to fed-jacket WOL for holding DSA electeds accountable.

For the past few years, PYM and the broader Palestine movement has sought to hold DSA accountable for its relationship and support for elected candidates who directly and materially support Israel and the Zionist movement through their votes for military aid, repression of the Palestine movement, and repeated attacks and smears of our movement. As a result of these efforts, we have witnessed DSA members smear, vilify, and fed-jacket our organization and members, as well as DSA members who support a more principled and concrete position on Zionism.

The so-called “progressives” of the Democratic party, from AOC to Bowman to Sanders, are complicit in this genocide: from endorsing Biden, to voting to send money to the Zionist entity, to smearing Palestinian organizations and conflating anti-Zionism with anti-semitism. Let us be clear: no amount of “lesser of two evils” rhetoric will bully the Palestine movement into supporting those complicit in the genocide of our people. We affirm that we have not only a right, but an obligation, to disrupt the activities of all electeds complicit in this genocide.

We condemn attempts to scapegoat the Palestinian movement for the results of any upcoming elections, and reject attempts by self-proclaimed progressive organizations to paint Palestinian organizations as unstrategic for refusing to buy into the push to “vote blue no matter who” while US bombs continue to rain down on our people in Gaza.

The lack of accountability we are being asked to accept is in fact a self-fulfilling prophecy whose promise is oppression and mass death. Our movement has the right to hold accountable those who deviate from these principles, especially when others will not.

Does Biden withdrawing even matter at this point? It'll just make the Dems look even more pathetic for waiting so long to acknowledge reality, so it won't matter who they replace him with. Trump wins. It's joever.

NSFL: Dead bodies but no death on screen, torture

translated Al Jazeera’s exclusive report on footage showing Palestinians being used as human shields
The footage reveals instances such as forcing men to search for explosives, tying them with ropes & throwing them into tunnels, and using injured to search for fighters

General Juan José Zúñiga, former commander of the Bolivian Army, is arrested for attempting a coup d'état.

General Juan José Zúñiga, former commander of the Bolivian Army, accuses President Luis Arce of planning a coup attempt to boost his own popularity.

Every single time these coups fail in South America, they say this shit. That it was a falseflag operation or whatever. They said the same thing about Lula da Silva lol.

Kenyan president capitulates to the demands of the protestors:

However, the Communist Party of Kenya has accused him of stalling for time because he doesn't actually have the legal authority to do so:

Let’s tell Ruto we are aware that the President is legally unable to withdraw a bill that has already matured for assent. His options are limited to returning it to Parliament with a memorandum for the inclusion of his proposed amendments, which, if rejected by a two-thirds majority, would become law.

Why dupe Kenyans into imagining he can withdraw it in totality? This is a legal conundrum, a deceitful ploy to buy time and distract Kenyans from their urgent demands.

About a year ago or so I was saying that Trump would be the perfect fall guy to pull out of Ukraine with.

Trump will win the election, and early on in 2025 he'll pull all Ukraine support, instead preferring to focus on Israel and China.

Then, once Russia inevitably wins the war, all the liberals will have a perfect scapegoat to point towards, and they will all claim in unison:

"Ukraine would have won if it wasn't for that dang meddling Cheeto in the White House!!!"

They get to be smug about it, and all is well in the world.

Al Jazeera

Israeli forces in Gaza City ‘executing’ Palestinians on the spot:

Rights group The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor says it has received reports that Israeli forces are committing “widespread massacres” in the Shujayea and Jdaida neighbourhoods in Gaza City.

“Our field team is receiving reports of dozens, possibly hundreds, of victims being executed on the spot or having their shelters bombed,” wrote Ramy Abdul, the chairman of the Geneva-based group, in a post on X.

Earlier, we reported the UN reporting that at least 60,000 people had been displaced from Shujayea as the Israeli military announced intensifying operations there.

I for one am shocked that the elderly man who is clearly entering the latter stages of dementia is being stubborn about not being fit to be president.

drone-them-all obama forgot his shiv, they are really sticking to their guns huh

ABORTION. PERIOD. MIGRANTS! ABORTION. PERIOD. MIGRANTS! ABORTION. PERIOD. MIGRANTS!

KILL EM ALLLLLL!

Argentina's GDP falls 5.1% in the 1st quarter and the country enters technical recession

Among the sectors that fell, according to Indec, were construction (-19.7%), manufacturing (-13.7%) and financial intermediation (-13.0%).

It's worth pointing out that until last year Argentina was expected to grow by almost 2% in 2024, now the forecast has changed to a 3.5% recession, but after these quarterly figures it's clear that it will be much bigger.

Meanwhile the mainstream media celebrating inflation of 8% a month, after reaching 24% in January, lol.

The saddest part of this election is that I can't vote for both candidates, given what an excellent performance they both gave in the debate. Profoundly illustrating the biggest issues in America and describing expertly how they'd solve them.

Who’s in charge of site taglines? I would like to submit this (or parts of it)

I want to fight for Ukraine. I have no military background and some live firearm experience. I do have over 100 hours of airsoft milsim experience though. It’s the closest thing to actual war. I’m familiar with military lingo and protocols (not sure if applicable cause I’m fighting for a foreign country). Knowledge on how to operate a variety of weaponry. I use high-end airsoft guns which are 1:1 or almost identical to the real thing. I did many roles in the milsim from combat medic to Forward observers and operated in a two-man sniper team.

Armenia Officially Recognizes Palestinian State

The decision aligns with the two-state solution principle, President Abbas said.

On Friday, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas thanked Armenia for recognizing Palestine as a state and urged more countries to do the same based on pre-1967 war borders, including Gaza, the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem as the capital.

Bolivia nationalize basically all of their lithium recently, they were going to join Mercosur (Brazil's South American Economic Bloc) and Lucho purged the army. Really interesting how the US didn't condemn this coup.

ngl, its quite jokerifying that all three wings of french elections swore allegiance to usa even before elections

Holy shit I wished I watched the debate now after reading all this. I never bought the idea that Biden was this geopolitical genius who single-handedly accomplished what he did in his foreign policy through his own cunning schemes.

That Biden has been gone since the 2010’s. Any foreign policy success he’s had goes to Blinken and Nuland.

And of course Reddit representing the 1% of diehard liberals isn’t swayed at all. Just remember that whenever Reddit is sure of something, be sure to bet against them.

Absolutely hilarious and pathetic that this is the man that beat Bernie.

Peru: The government is under fire as LGBTQ+ groups have called for a protest against a new decree that classifies transsexualism as a "mental disorder".

Easily a top 10 sigma moment of all time. Arce's aura was so powerful today that Hexbear devs had to preemptively shut down the site for our own protection.

Watching a YouTube doc about the yazidi struggle in sinjar. I felt a part of my soul die when a kid asked “will I kill in school” as his dad is explaining that one day he’ll be able to go to school again after ISIS is defeated. The Kurdish has often been co-opted by American interests (and inevitably betrayed every time), but damn did they do a good thing opening up that escape corridor.

Everyone talking about the elections in the U.S. and Iran. Algeria will have elections in September 7th

Uh oh. Evo Morales himself has accused Luis Arce of orchestrating the coup:
https://twitter.com/evoespueblo/status/1807496134119571492?mx=1

El presidente Luis Arce engañó y mintió al pueblo boliviano y al mundo. Es lamentable que se use un tema tan sensible como la denuncia de un golpe.

Frente a esa realidad, debo pedir disculpas a la comunidad internacional por la alarma generada y agradecer por su solidaridad con nuestro país. Es importante que una investigación completa e independiente demuestre la verdad de este hecho.

Per Google Translate:

President Luis Arce deceived and lied to the Bolivian people and the world. It is unfortunate that a topic as sensitive as reporting a coup is used.

Faced with this reality, I must apologize to the international community for the alarm generated and thank you for your solidarity with our country. It is important that a complete and independent investigation demonstrates the truth of this fact.
