When history is written as it ought to be written, it is the moderation and long patience of the masses at which we will wonder, not their ferocity.

Huge news for Latin America, and the world:
Lula da Silva has won reelection in Brazil, despite blatant electoral meddling by the US.
Brazil is the biggest country in Latin America, a major geopolitical power, and a founding member of BRICS.
The US empire wanted to put back in power the corrupt, far-right Bolsonaro dynasty, which is extremely pro-US and pro-Israel.
The Bolsonaros vowed to minimize Brazil's role in BRICS, serve the interests of Brazilian oligarchs and big landlords at the expense of the working class, uphold the global US dollar system, and let US corporations plunder Brazil's natural resources -- especially its rare earths and critical minerals, which the US wants to reduce its reliance on China.
In contrast, Lula comes from a poor family and has always put the interests of the working class first. He has a non-aligned foreign policy, 100% supports Palestine, strongly believes in the importance of Global South integration and cooperation, and was a co-founder of BRICS.
Lula will deepen Brazil's partnership with China and the rest of the Global South. He will also continue to push for the transformation of the international financial system and will challenge the global dominance of the US dollar, which infuriates Washington.

El gobierno de EE.UU deja claro que no renuncia a sus ambiciones de dominación sobre #Cuba.
Es bueno recordar que los cubanos alcanzamos desde el 1o de Enero de 1959 nuestra verdadera independencia y estamos decididos a defenderla.
#CubaNoEsUnaAmenaza, el bloqueo sí.

To those who seek to create positive change in Cuba - now is the time.
The disappointment of failed promises, corruption, and the privileged lives of only a few; seize this opportunity to create the change you desire through a discrete partnership with the CIA.

this is the best breakdown I’ve seen of the dark arts behind Block Blast!, the most downloaded mobile game in the world last year
intentionally making players lose to optimize which ads they see, the sophistication behind such a “simple” game is stunning.

Exactly 50 years ago, CIA-linked terrorists blew up Cubana Flight 455 in mid-air, murdering 73 civilians. Declassified documents show the US had foreknowledge and allowed the attack to proceed. The masterminds lived freely in Miami the rest of their lives and died in peace.
Remember Cuba's 9/11: On October 6, 1976, Cubana de Aviación Flight 455 was bombed mid-air over the Caribbean, killing all 73 aboard: 57 Cubans, 11 Guyanese, 5 North Koreans. Among the dead were the entire 1975 Cuban national fencing team, many of them teenagers who had just swept gold at the Central American and Caribbean Championships.
■ The operation was carried out as part of the broader US hybrid warfare campaign against Cuba, under orders from CIA operatives Luis Posada Carriles and Orlando Bosch, and classified CIA documents confirm the agency knew of the plot in advance. Both men later fled to the US, were welcomed with open arms, and died free.

today is Fidel Castro's 100th birthday. Here he explains why the Zionist Israeli-US empire despises Cuba and is desperate to destroy it: "Our country does not drop bombs on other people and cities. Instead we send doctors to those most lost corners of the world."

On August 7, 1970, 17-year-old Jonathan Jackson was martyred while attempting a hostage-taking operation in the Marin County Courthouse north of San Francisco, California, to free his older brother George Jackson from Soledad State Prison.
■ George, who was martyred a year later in an escape attempt, mourned Jonathan, but said, most of all he was proud, that Jonathan’s “death only [sharpened his] fighting spirit,” and that “Escape from the myth, the hoax, by moving people into action against the terror of the state—counter-terrorism—is the real significance of the August 7th affair.”
■ These events later led to the tradition of observing Black August, an annual, month-long commemoration originating in California's prison system to honor Black political prisoners, freedom fighters, and global resistance against racial and colonial oppression.
Finally read through the entire "Cuba: The Capital of 21st Century Communism." It is nothing short of laughable. Cuba is, apparently, the link between George Floyd "riots," campus uprisings, Antifa, and anti-ICE protests AND between Russia, China, and Iran. In short, it is the container of all un-American and anti-American action and ideology. LMAO.

It is no coincidence that the timeline of the Iran War shifts from peace on weekdays to war on the weekend.
Markets have become highly integrated in wartime strategy for ALL countries involved.
There has never been a more important time to follow financial markets than now.

Just a gentle reminder that Du Bois's Talented Tenth thesis was just a shitty first draft. After some 50 years of self-editing: "Naturally, out of the mass of the working classes, who know life and its bitter struggle, will continually rise the real, unselfish and clear-sighted leadership. This will not be automatic or continuous, but the hope of the future of the Negro race in America and the world lies far more among its workers than among its college graduates, until the time that our higher training is rescued from its sycophantic and cowardly leadership of today, almost wholly dependent as it is on Big Business either in politics or philanthropy." —Willie D.😉, In Battle for Peace (1952) @HammerandHope @AbolitionSchool – at New Haven, CT

If you live in the US, get ready because next week you’re gonna get to experience 10% of what it’s been like for Iranians under decades of US sanctions - except with .01% of their resilience, determination, faith, social cohesion, impulse control and preparedness… Good luck!

I refused to speak with the fascists at "The Free Press," who should be sent to the Hague for complicity in genocide and assassinating Dr. Refaat Al-Areer, so they had an undercover reporter track me down in Beirut and meet me under false premises.
The enemy press, which makes virtually no distinction between itself and the national security state, tries to paint me as an eccentric and pathological exception, instead of admitting the more dangerous truth: that I'm a microcosm of a broader pattern, of some youth in the imperial core identifying more with the brave anti-imperialist mujahideen of the Axis of Resistance, who we understand are fighting for our collective international liberation, than we are identifying with our own corrupt, fascist, pedophilic, and genocidal ruling classes, systems, and cultures, which we hope to see obliterated into the dustbins of history.
In the weeks since the U.S. and Israel launched their joint assault on Iran, perhaps no American has more aggressively and publicly rallied behind the Islamic Republic than Calla Walsh. From her new base in Lebanon, the 21-year-old Cambridge-raised activist has taken to social media and left-wing podcasts to incite her fellow countrymen and women to sabotage U.S. and Israeli defense contractors wherever they can find them.
