    Mexico's left-wing President Claudia Sheinbaum (who has 80% approval) has officially recognized Palestine as a state and welcomed the Palestinian ambassador. This is very symbolic, because Sheinbaum is Jewish. She supports Palestinian human rights and criticized Israel's attacks

    Kamala Harris ran a right-wing, pro-war, pro-Israel campaign alongside neoconservatives like Liz Cheney, and lost by a huge margin, including in Michigan. Palestinian-American Rashida Tlaib ran a left-wing, anti-war, anti-genocide campaign, and won by a huge margin in Michigan.

    Jaw-dropping corruption in the US: Trump's billionaire crypto czar is heavily invested in a fund whose top 5 holdings are the 5 in the US government Crypto Strategic Reserve. Mere hours before Trump announced it, someone bought $200 million in Ethereum & Bitcoin on 50X LEVERAGE

    The US economy is not real; it's just a big billionaire Ponzi scheme. 75% of Tesla shareholders approved a $1 TRILLION pay package for Elon Musk. $1,000,000,000,000. Tesla only made $7.13 billion in net income in 2024. This is so stupid it defies basic math and reality itself

    The pay package is conditional on future performance. For Elon to be paid the full package. Tesla has to sell 20 million vehicles, have 1 million robotaxis in operation, sell 1 million robots and earn $400 billion in core profit with a market capitalization of 8.5 trillion. reuters.com/legal/transact…

    No, actually it's simple: - Israel is a Western settler-colonialist project founded on the mass ethnic cleansing of indigenous Palestinians. - US imperialism uses Israel as a military outpost in resource-rich West Asia. - Israel has illegally occupied Palestinian land for

    4/ The Israel-Hamas war is possibly the most complex geopolitical issue we are facing. Any maximalist, simplistic conclusion or any side is frankly stupid and reductive. There’s so much pain on every side. If you can’t recognize that, you’re missing something important.

    Zimbabwe has banned all lithium exports. The government said it was losing $1.7 billion from exporting it as a raw mineral and not processing it into batteries in-country. Instead of exporting raw materials, Zimbabwe hopes to develop its own industry von.gov.ng/zimbabwe-bans-…

    Absolutely false: It was the Soviet Union that defeated Nazi Germany, not the US and UK. Throughout most of WWII, the US and UK faced just 10 German divisions combined. The Soviets alone fought more than 200 German divisions. The White House is trying to rewrite history.

    Many foreign leaders like Venezuelan President Maduro are denied their legal right to speak at the UN, because the US rogue regime would arrest them. But genocidal fascist Netanyahu orders war crimes while visiting the UN in New York. This is the US empire's "Rules-Based" Reich

    South Korea changed labor law so companies can make employees work 21.5 hours per day. That's not a typo: 21.5 hours. It's not a coincidence that this South Korean administration is one of the most right-wing, anti-worker, pro-US, and anti-China governments in modern history.

    A document proves the US State Department pressured Pakistan's government in March 2022 to overthrow PM Imran Khan, due to his neutrality over the proxy war in Ukraine This is exactly what I reported a year ago, but it was smeared as a "conspiracy theory"

    The US-backed soft coup against Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan has succeeded Washington helped organize a campaign pressuring opposition lawmakers to oust Khan with a no-confidence vote It's very similar to the US-backed soft coup in Brazil in 2016

    Let's be clear: The Trump admin sent a drone into what Iran says was its sovereign airspace. The US knew Iran would shoot it down in self-defense—but the US gov also knew the corporate media would obediently portray this as Iranian "escalation," helping justify Trump's aggression

    Trump is a maniac. While waging war on Venezuela, he now threatens to attack Colombia too (although he can't spell it correctly). Trump falsely claims Colombian President Petro is a "drug leader". This is a total lie. Now he's threatening sanctions and attacks. Imperial psycho
