As a Syrian I am disgusted that @CJR would platform Aaron Mate who is a dangerous propagandist for both Putin and Assad. How can you claim to stand for truth then platform puppets whose job is to lie for the worst authoritarian leaders on this planet. twitter.com/dcampbell_iptv…

It’s saddening to see American progressives embrace a Putin fanboy that associates with Holocaust deniers.

This more or less jibes with vox populi I heard in Port-au-Prince last month (but w/o the creation of a CICIG-like entity, any aid to the PNH is doomed to fail): Around 70% of Haitians back international force to fight gangs, survey says reuters.com/world/americas #haiti

4 months later: people only leave home for the most urgent things, in fear of being kidnapped or killed. There is not a safe street or neighborhood. Gangs operate without impunity across the entire Ouest department. Police forces are outnumbered and have limited means. #Haiti twitter.com/mboute/status/…

I mean, honestly, it sounds quite sad to me to spend the flower of your youth pining for the days when you'll be a pensioner: "Many people start dreaming of retirement in their twenties."

"I would not be sending materiel [to Ukraine] which would allow the invasion of Russia."
@jeremycorbyn condemns Russia's invasion but would prefer to broker 'a ceasefire' rather than send armaments to Ukraine if he were PM now.

I don’t know if it is just me, but over the last couple of weeks, I have noticed that I have “unfollowed” people that I absolutely, positively never unfollowed… Just another chapter in breaking the platform and driving it into the ground, I guess…

The subtext of all of the foreign groupies for Cuba's highly racist, extremely reactionary dictatorship is that the very white, very elite Castro Inc™ tyranny was justified in using terror in order to rein in non-compliant black, brown, LGBTQ etc Cubans. No, folks, just no.

It takes an impressive amount of political and geographic illiteracy to argue that the U.S. has a military base in Hong Kong. 🙃🤡
