Days that Biden has chosen not to honor his campaign promise of ending support for the war on Yemen:
Every day that Biden chooses not to act on his Yemen campaign promise is a new batch of dead children. This article explains how Biden could have taken steps toward ending this atrocity on day one. He's chosen to make it a low-priority issue. Unacceptable.

Again, Biden campaigned on the promise to end US facilitation of the mass atrocities in Yemen. So far we've seen words and no actions. It is no exaggeration to say that every day this continues means many more dead children. This needs far, far more urgency.

Twitter Rolls Out New Wikipedia-Like Program To Narrative Manage Tweets

"Whoever controls the narrative controls the world."
caitlinjohnstone.substack.com/p/twitter-roll…
Twitter has announced that it will be employing "a new community-driven approach to help address misleading information" called Birdwatch which news media are comparing to the model of content moderation used by Wikipedia.
"We know there are a number of challenges toward building a community-driven system like this — from making it resistant to manipulation attempts to ensuring it isn’t dominated by a simple majority or biased based on its distribution of contributors," Twitter's statement says. Image

We're seeing some movement: a temporary limit on Trump's Houthi FTO designation (which amounts to starvation sanctions ON TOP OF the siege warfare used by the Saudi-led coalition) is now in effect. There's still VERY far to go though. #DayofAction4Yemen

The Pendulum Of Internet Censorship Swings Leftward Again

Ideologically I am first and foremost a truth and transparency advocate. I hold it self-evident that if people could really see what's happening in their world uninhibited by government secrecy, propaganda and censorship, they'd naturally force a much healthier system into being.
I have other ideological preferences (I'm way down in the left-libertarian corner of the political compass), but I also have enough humility to know that maybe my way wouldn't be best for everyone, and we must all be allowed to see the truth and let everyone make up their mind.
This to me is the least authoritarian position possible: let everyone see the truth uninhibited by the narrative manipulations and opacity of powerful, then let the collective decide on the best path from there. It would definitely end up much healthier than our current system.

What Biden's Warmongering Will Actually Look Like

"More starvation sanctions. More proxy conflicts. More cold war. More coups. More special ops. More drone strikes. More slow motion strangulation, less ham-fisted overt warfare."
caitlinjohnstone.substack.com/p/what-bidens-…
There's a news story about a US military convoy entering Syria being shared around social media with captions claiming that President Biden is already "invading" Syria which is getting tons of shares in both right-wing and left anti-imperialist circles.

Another inaccurate narrative that's gone completely viral is the claim that Biden is sending more troops to Iraq.

Days that Biden has chosen not to honor his campaign promise of ending support for the war on Yemen:
It is my sincere hope that I won't be posting many of these, because every day Biden chooses not to work toward the end of this war means more dead children. He could've taken major steps to end the mass atrocity in Yemen on day one. He has chosen not to.
