UNITED STATES SENATOR DOESNT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CHINA AND SINGAPORE

📹 U.S. Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) questions the CEO of TikTok U.S., Shou Zi Chew, a Singaporian national, about his nationality and affiliations with the "Chinese Communist Party," an entity that does not actually exist.

Chew repeatedly states his nationality and history as a Singaporian, having served in the military, and mentions his loyalty to his home country before Senator Cotton begins ranting about the events of Tiananmen Square in 1989.

How much money can we send as aid before our economy officially collapses US challenge.

Idk man, but I think Americans should really be mad. Like furious. I don't think some of you grasp the idea that all your hard earned money are constantly funneled to other countries. Countries who have health care and free housing, while your society is on the verge of absolute collapse. You may not care about the fact that people are being slaughtered by your money, but maybe you should think about how your economy will collapse in on itself very soon. The US govt will never admit they're printing valueless money, so maybe, just maybe you lot gotta start being concerned. Because when recession hits you, you'll be the ones on the streets not your govt or the countries to which the money is being sent.

It is your children that will be forced into labour at a young age, as a consequence of this. It is your precious consumerism that will dissipate as a consequence. It is your lives that will be sacrificed as a consequence. Rich people and govts don't care that you'll have no future. Fascism and extreme capitalism are not things of the past. You lot are living through it. So good luck on surviving while staying silent.

A coworker posted this on FB and I cannot even begin to describe all the ways the statement is wrong.

Most of these wars were fought for evil, selfish reasons.

Stealing land from the Indigenous peoples.

Fighting for the right to continue owning people as chattel.

Interfering where we were not wanted, installing oppressive governments and then dipping out when we've gotten what we wanted (Money/resources and power. It's always about fucking money and power), leaving people to deal with the chaos we've created.

ThEy DiEd FoR yOuR fReEdOm.

Bullshit

I'm not free.

Women in this country are not free.

My BIPOC, neurodivergent, disabled, and queer siblings are not free.

The starving, homeless, bullet-riddled children in this country are not free.

People dying of easily treatable or curable conditions because healthcare is for-profit and viewed as a privilege instead of a human right are not free.

I love my country, I really do. And the people who live here.

But I'm disappointed and disgusted by it right now.

For real, god damn the United States of America.

Of the 19 hijackers who carried out the Sept 11 attacks:

15 were from Saudi Arabia (a powerful/oil-rich country the U.S. works hard to maintain diplomatic relations with)

2 were from the United Arab Emirates (also a powerful/oil-rich country the U.S. works hard to maintain diplomatic relations with)

1 was from Egypt, 1 from Lebanon.

None of the hijackers were from Iraq.

None of the Sept 11 hijackers were Iraqi.

None of the 9/11 hijackers were from Iraq.

the US is directly bombing syria, iraq (x, x, x, x) and yemen simultaneously tonight (very early hours of 03.02.24) while, of course, continuing to proudly fund israel’s ongoing genocide in ghazzah. they’re saying that this is only the beginning of their operations in iraq and syria. meanwhile, israel is increasingly targeting rafah, having just martyred 11 palestinians there in one airstrike alone. as a reminder, rafah is essentially the southern most area in ghazzah and is where israel told palestinians to flee to, calling it a ‘safe zone’. this is all happening the same day israel announced it is preparing for a ground invasion in rafah. allah reham kare

Important thing to remember: the only reason the number of deaths in Palestine are going down is because there isn't enough people to kill.

Read that again.

The only reason the number of deaths in Palestine are going down is because there isn't enough people to kill.

The genocide is still happening. The cruelty and inhumanity is still happening.

People are not numbers.

It is time we stop treating them as such.

Free Palestine.

THE US STILL OWES NICARAGUA REPERATIONS SINCE 1986 ICJ DECISION

Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega has called on the United States to fulfill its obligations under International Law and to pay the $12 Billion in reparations owed to it under a 1986 International Court of Justice ruling.

The International Court of Justice is a UN sponsored platform to resolve international disputes between Nation-states.

This ICJ ruling was made in 1986 after years of the United States sponsoring a dirty war responsible for tens of thousands of Nicaraguan deaths, an attempted genocide against pro-Sandinista Nicaraguan civilians, the destruction of the country's Infrastructure and an economic blockade that thoroughly destroyed the Nicaraguan economy causing untold suffering among citizens.

In the 1986 ICJ ruling, the Judges wrote:

The United States in reality should owe reparations to countries all across the world for its horrific Imperialist Foreign Policy: Afghanistan, Iraq, Vietnam, Cambodia, Lao, Iran, Syria, Libya, Granada, the DPRK, Sri Lanka, Chile, Colombia, El Salvador, Honduras and more.

“There has never been a protracted war from which a country has benefited.” — Sun Tzu China’s grand strategy to take its turn at dominance over the global scene depends on bogging down the USA in four wars at once. How’s it working so far? Pretty darn well. Amazingly, China hardly had to lift a finger to make it happen — though it did write some bank checks to the soulless old grifter sitting in the White House.  Our country has arranged its collapse and downfall masterfully on its own. War No. 1: There was absolutely no need to start … Continue reading →

Not surprised but also

TWENTY THOUSAND PEOPLE WERE MURDERED FOR THIS.

this is your daily reminder that it's been over 65 years since cuba overthrew batista's US-backed fascist dictatorship and the US is STILL keeping cuba in extreme poverty using an "embargo."

back in the 1950s, using US funds and US-trained soldiers, batista (not castro) removed most of cubans' rights, including the right to strike, censored all media, and used secret police to torture and publicly excute anyone who protested his dictatorship. In a document released by the CIA in 2005, it stated as many as 20,000 people were killed. In return, batista gave control of most of the arable land to the US. during the revolution, this land was reclaimed and redistributed, which means that USAmericans can now sue anyone who "traffics" in this "confiscated" property.

Despite US sanctions being an "embargo," the US also fines foreign companies for doing business in Cuba, meaning it's effectively a blockade. Despite Obama lightening some of these restrictions, Biden has done little to undo the tightened policies from Trump's administration.

In November, the UN called for the 31st time (!!!) for the US blockade to end, supported by 187 countries and opposed only by the US and its bestest buddy (I'll let you guess who).

Cuba has been in economic crisis for years. Monthly income in Cuba is $30-60. There is very little food and it is hard to purchase anything like toiletries, clothes, and over-the-counter medicines. Domestic production is down because they don't have the resources to sustain them. The US has been intentionally impoverishing and starving Cuba for decades, and they continue to make it clear that it is not going to stop.

So, yeah. US democracy is a joke, end the US blockade on Cuba, and fuck genocide joe.
