srsly, thought i'd been very clear with "people don’t understand or are unwilling to grapple with just how evil the scientific & medical industries have been across the board" but i guess JUST HOW EVIL needs flashing lights & popup video facts or something

there’s a category of thing that transcends mere war crime & is more of an affront crying to heaven, any heaven, for mercy, like the kind of perfidious deed bards would get together for days to sing about how hard the gods kicked your ass over, & they just keep doing them

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countriesβ€”including the United States.

Absolutely sickening shit: the Dena had just participated in international naval exercises *with the US* and was unarmed and the US knew this and sank it anyway and left the survivors to drown

I am always amazed by how many people around me are reading (and teaching!) Caliban and the Witch and can now confirm this is a useful piece to share with those whose enthusiasm for marxist-feminist analysis (good!) outstrips their resources for critiquing Federici's historiography (which is bad)

I believe thats a bingo for being a woc historian on the interwebs--do I win anything? More service?

CIA organised fake vaccination drive to get Osama bin Laden's family DNA Senior Pakistani doctor who organised vaccine programme in Abbottabad arrested by ISI for working with US agents

you seem to be under the misapprehension that either of us is antivax, rather than critical of uses vaccines have been put to by govts & corporations that ultimately provide space for antivax grifts. or you’re in bad faith. either way I commend doing the reading

just to be clear, you recognize that you’re asking a medical historian of specifically vaccination about smallpox

people don’t understand or are unwilling to grapple with just how evil the scientific & medical industries have been across the board, esp to vulnerable populations that make ideal research populations

antivax cranks would never have had room to operate if the corps hadn’t swept it clear for them

ICE detain U.S. Army veteranβ€”a 50 year old woman with major health issues.

20 plus armed agents stormed this residential neighborhood to arrest her at gunpoint.

Her crime? Kate just took part in a peaceful protestβ€”evidently her 5 foot tall stature intimidated these agents.

Running for Congress on a platform of sneaking into Polymarket HQ and unplugging all their stuff. Overflow crowds at a local Knights of Columbus hall roar with delight as I promise to pour Florida's Natural Grapefruit Juice (with pulp) into the USB-C port of every computer in the damn place.

keeping around the weakest person you can find to administer an institution you wish to maintain control over is part & parcel of CIA asset management tho so no surprises there. stooge governance

he is going to be an extraordinarily weak & compromised president caught between those who put him in the job & those who are keeping him there, with absolutely no room for the interests of students, faculty, staff, or any wider community beyond donors & corporate stakeholders

This Hollywood group β€” linked to the Israeli government and supported by individuals in the Epstein Files, including a Russian oligarch and Casey Wasserman β€” is leading a smear campaign against a film about a 5-year-old girl killed by Israeli forces, to stop it from getting an Oscar:

Tariq Ali:

Israelis bombing Lebanon and it now is obvious they targeted the UK base in Cyprus anmd blamed Iran. Meanwhile the crazed POTUS ordered the bombing of an Iranian naval destroyer returning from a visit to India and killed hundreds of sailors. The Third Reich never did this to Britain (and vice versa) during the second world war. Sailors in the sea were rescued. What is the barbarism emanating from the White House with Congressional approval. It is the barbarism that butchered its own native population, that took millions into slavery, that killed two million Vietnamese, using chemical weapons. It is an imperialism that does not respect human life at home or abroad. The ICE killers in Minneapolis have the same mentality as the pilots who bombed a sitting target in the Indian ocean yesterday. We should do our best to ensure that the demonstration on Saturday 7th outside the US Embassy is as large as possible.
