So, lawful recognition of Palestine is met with threats of unlawful annexation? International legality answered with open defiance of it.

He is hardly alone. The corridors of power in the United States remain open to a whole roster of men with blood on their hands—provided their crimes serve empire rather than defy it.

His speech at the 25th PI Briefing in Bogotá was powerful, courageous, and morally clear. In a world where too many remain silent in the face of atrocity, Petro speaks truth with unwavering conviction. Everyone should listen to his words, a true leader standing for humanity, justice, and life.

“Clean coal” sounds nice, but it’s mostly a myth. Even with carbon capture and fancy filters, coal remains one of the dirtiest energy sources. Instead of polishing coal’s image, we should be investing in true clean energy, wind, solar, and innovations that don’t cook the planet. #CleanCoal

AEI, a well-funded U.S. propaganda arm, fosters neoconservative thought that has long justified illegal wars, regime change, and apartheid. Its policies are often polished war propaganda, shielding allied states while vilifying adversaries, especially those resisting Western dominance.

The New York Times is so thirsty for relevance, I keep hearing their ads for their games app on podcasts. A games app?! You went from breaking Watergate to begging me to play Spelling Bee?!

UK gov’t again shows contempt for international law & the rights of the Chagossians.

Mauritius is legally sovereign over the Chagos Archipelago, per the ICJ & UN.

Security cannot justify apartheid-like resettlement bans.

This is 21st century colonialism.

Fetterman’s case demonstrates the importance of evaluating politicians beyond their rhetoric, considering their actions (and inactions) rather than relying solely on mainstream media’s gaslighting tactics.
