"Racist, anti-Chinese sentiment in “the West” can exist simultaneously in a world with Chinese social, political, and economic dominance in Asia along with neo-colonial financial, industrial, and infrastructure development deals in the Global South."

"Rather than focus on the voices of impacted [indigenous Chinese] communities...tokenized and politically manipulated to promote US military aggression in the name of humanitarian intervention, the denialist response deems us unworthy of transnationalist solidarity."
"people I have thrown down with have... veered into a political perspective that is entirely uncritical of the Chinese Communist Party, while accusing me and anyone with ties to Chinese Occupied Dzungarstan-Altishahr of contributing to anti-Chinese racism, or redbaiting."
"The work of resistance and dismantling all systems of oppression is messy. [ ]We cannot dispose of people whose lived experiences do not match up to our ideological assumptions and projections."

Susan Abulhawa, world's bestselling Palestinian author, had her account here banned after a Zionist hate campaign. Please read and RT this thread by her.

"Zionists are pushing a new line of propaganda aimed at breaking Black solidarity with Palestinians."
"The narrative goes something like this: The only reason Palestinians are getting attention is because they're not Black (which is not true because Palestinian society is multi-racial). Just look at the millions killed in the DRC. Look at Sudan. Look at Tigray." - Susan Abulhawa
"So I want to point out that in fact, Israel is at the heart of the genocide in the DRC. Israel has been arming and training militias in Rwanda and Uganda to maintain the violent chaos that facilitates western mineral extraction from Congo's mines." - Susan Abulhawa

Billionaires and monarchies should not exist. Tax them. inequality.org/great-divide/t…
The fortune of the British royal family is estimated to be around $28 billion. No one knows the exact figure, because they're exempt from “sunshine” rules. Charles will not pay a penny of inheritance tax, capital gains tax, or income tax.
"The British empire, says @IPS_DC analyst Basav Sen, “quite literally” opened “the fossil-fueled Industrial Revolution, the driving force behind climate change.” That plunder left formerly colonized societies deeply indebted and vulnerable to climate change they didn't cause."

Super-fit immunologist stopped masking after 4 vaccine doses. Omicron gave him congestive heart failure, which forced him to quit his job.

thetyee.ca/Analysis/2022/…
“The risk of cardiovascular disease, for example, increased after one infection, but doubled in people who had two infections, and tripled in those who had been infected thrice.”

"Similar risks were found for heart disease, blood clotting problems, brain decline and diabetes."
"The second myth that Goodnow wants demolished is that COVID is a “one and done virus.”

"Many viruses, such as polio or measles, confer long-time immunity after a vaccine shot or natural infection. But members of the coronavirus family don’t behave the same."

They were at Treetops Hotel in Kenya's Aberdare National Park. Nine months later, hundreds of freedom fighters would hide from British troops in the forest below. In the next eight years, 1.5 million Kenyans would be incarcerated, starved, tortured, in concentration camps.
At dawn, in Britain's concentration camps in Kenya, imprisoned women would be forced to bury their babies who had died during the night. Babies also died on their mothers' backs during the day, while their mothers were subjected to forced labor under guns and whips.
Fifteen months after "a young girl climbed into a tree one day a princess...and climbed down the next day a queen," the entire Aberdares region was declared off-limits for Africans. Orders were set in place to shoot Africans on sight.

Twitter has suspended the account of Jewish anti-Zionist attorney and activist @StanleyCohenLaw. So I'm going to tweet a thread of his articles.

Here's the one I quote most often.

aljazeera.com/opinions/2017/…
@StanleyCohenLaw "As an attorney, I am currently involved in litigation before the African Commission on Human and People’s Rights in which we seek to revoke Israel’s observer status at the African Union on the grounds that it is an outlaw nation..."
counterpunch.org/2021/10/01/isr…
"For generations, the world has been a largely silent witness to an unbridled Western enterprise erasing millions of Palestinians from their unbroken ancestral homeland in the name of a diabolical resettlement project..."
