Good shit. Palestinian journalist goes to Vietnam and learns about history, liberation, and ideology. Featuring tunnels!
"They've gone full mask off: do not ever trust OpenAI or its products," Snowden — emphasis his — wrote in a Friday post to X-formerly-Twitter, adding that "there's only one reason for appointing" an NSA director "to your board."
"This is a willful, calculated betrayal of the rights of every person on earth," he continued. "You've been warned."

LMAO. Biden adopts yet another illegal, reactionary border policy that already got overturned by the courts under Trump: NY Slimes: Biden Is Expected to Sign Order Letting Him Seal Border With Mexico
Even fuckin' Bill Burr dunks on by telling him (in the context of Maher shitting out nothing but Hasbara and State Dept nonsense):
[politics] isn't your thing. It's isn't. You're like that guy that has a fantasy football team and thinks he's a fucking GM. That's exactly what it is. Like, why am I fucking listening to you like you've done something? What have you done in Washington? Nothing.
YouTube link (commentary on it with a clip, not original video) if anyone cares.
Liberals can't even tolerate performative anti-genocide in their privileged faux-woke parties.
Burning Man festival removes "From the River to the Sea" sculpture from website amid allegations of antisemitism. The pro-Palestinian artwork, shaped like a sliced watermelon, was set to be displayed at the Nevada festival from August 25 to September 2, 2024.
Burning Man Removes Pro-Palestinian Sculpture Amid Antisemitism Allegations
Everyone seems to be taking in stride that the FUCKING CIA was sitting in on the Palestine/Israel ceasefire negotiations. Jesus christ.
Samsung Next Withdraws From Israel
Samsung Next, the innovation arm of the Korean technology giant, Samsung, is shutting down its Tel Aviv operations, yet another strong indicator of the dramatically declining confidence in the Israeli economy.
In withdrawing from Israel, Samsung Next, which had invested in some 70 Israeli start-ups to date, is the latest fund to divest from Israel’s once thriving hi-tech sector, which accounts for over 50% of exports. Quite a few US and Israeli tech firms have already withdrawn. In 2023, investment in Israeli tech firms plummeted by 56% compared to 2022.
I don't know if Samsung has other operations there, or if "Samsung Next" is the extent of their presence/involvement.
(EDIT: Oops. Almost a month old. Sorry if it's already been mentioned.)
Apparently LAPD unexpectedly ("unprovoked" is used to describe it) arrested the press and legal observers in a parking garage today, along with a mayoral candidate and a bunch of UCLA students. /r/ACAB thread
(Camera person does some good swearing at the pigs. Sounds like he's absolutely shocked they would do this. I guess they didn't pay any attention during BLM....)
Liberal whining about getting banned from /r/BreadTube because they're repeating Zionist talking points about Palestinian resistance being "terrorists", blah, blah, blah.
I guess I'm the most "tankie" anarchist you know. Despite Palestine not being a state, Al-Qassam Brigades having zero authority and pretty popular support among Palestinians, acting in horizontal coalition with other resistance groups, etc. shrug
BTW, here's a nice little extra tidbit. LMAO.
I don't really care if "leftist" spaces on lose participation and die after every Zionist and faux-leftist gets banned, TBH. It's better than maintaining another liberal shithole helping to manufacture consent for genocide and repressive state violence.
Brown University commits to divestment vote
browndivestcoalition
VICTORY!!!!!! BROWN COMMITS TO DIVESTMENT VOTE. This would not have been possible without the hard work of university encampments across the country, whose collective power has forced university administrators to acknowledge the overwhelming support for Palestine on their campuses and make material concessions towards ending the Israeli occupation.
We will continue to pressure Brown to ensure we divest in October and support encampments across the country. We stand with student protestors as they face university oppression and police brutality, and the people of Palestine as they continue to withstand the Israeli occupation.
This is victory is not the end to our work but rather fuel for it. We will continue fighting until every last cent is divested from the Israeli Occupation and Palestine is free. ❤️🇵🇸
My fucking god Chomsky has become so donkey-brained these days. Watched a video in which he says Democrats (as in the party, not voters) have soured on Israel, and that it's all Republicans who support it now. Meanwhile, the fascist you obsessed on telling people to vote for in swing states because lesser-evil is actually perpetuating the genocide as we speak, Noam, and even bypassing Congress to do it. Fucking hell.
Amazing. The Dems have moved past ignoring and laughing. Now they believe the attacks on the Green Party are worth giving it the publicity.
