Michael Parenti, the path-breaking Marxist scholar, historian and political scientist, passed today at age 92
He went peacefully this morning, surrounded by his family
“Now he is in what he used to refer to as ‘the great lecture hall in the sky,’” his son, Christian, reflected

Everytime lmao
The Russian army has once again been forced to push back the deadlines it had drawn up for itself for capturing Pokrovsk and Dobropillia. And every Russian loss contributes to our ability to defend our state, our people, our independence.
It is symbolic that today we have the most positive European Commission report in three years. This gives Ukrainians even more motivation as Europe recognizes our joint efforts. Ukraine is doing everything to gain EU membership. Even in wartime, even amid the toughest battles, our state keeps moving forward in the membership talks, which is absolutely unprecedented across Europe. Every other EU member state has followed a much easier path.
It is crucial that our results are met with proper support in Europe – that the EU fulfills its commitments. Ukraine is ready to open the clusters, and we need a European decision on this. I thank everyone who is helping. I am proud of our people, proud of every single one of our warriors.

"A devoted public servant"
I am saddened to learn of the passing of former Vice President Dick Cheney.
Vice President Cheney was a devoted public servant, from the halls of Congress to many positions of leadership in multiple presidential administrations. His passing marks the loss of a figure who, with a strong sense of dedication, gave so much of his life to the country he loved.
Doug and I are keeping Lynne, their daughters Liz and Mary, and the entire Cheney family in our thoughts during this difficult time.

Yes, the Chinese Communist Party carried out a genocide against Uyghur Muslims.
The Uyghur birth rate collapse from 2017-2019 is one of the worst short term fertility collapses in recorded human history and worse than numbers we have for the fertility collapse in Gaza the past two years.
On a percent drop over a single year or two, the Uyghur case (−44% to −56% in one year; −49% in two years) is as steep as the most dramatic genocide-era collapses we can document with official population-wide statistics (Cambodian Genocide -53% across the 1970s trough).

You should never stop pointing out the grotesque double standards of these ppl and what would happen if a bunch of ppl started proudly tweeting “we don’t care about Jews.”
This is racist, genocide cheerleading. Call it out.

This feels like a good time to retell the story of when I was on a tinder date and mentioned being a communist.
Dude made a helicopter joke, so I told him he didn’t look like he could afford to rent a helicopter and he crashed out and started yelling in the restaurant.
