If you call the Russian invasion of Ukraine an 'inter-imperialist conflict', you are an absolute fence-sitting dumbass carrying water for fascism

Today is International Romani Day. In Ukraine live about 47 thousand Romani. Many of them live in the Zakarpattya region. Here is the graphic work of Sophia Karaffa-Korbut 'Romani from Zakarpattya', 1961

Congratulations to the Haida Nation!

A good thread. I'll point out some contexts. It is very different that Russia is recruiting African women for these positions b/c the Soviets (and East Germans) wanted male labor from Africa. In the same vein as East Germany, the 'training' is more work than education. 1/

If you talk abt US/EU “domination” of EEurope/Caucasus/Central Asia, but Ru “influence”, either you’re ignorant or (more likely) pushing Ru propaganda. Evidence: these states joined Ru-led orgs through conquest/occupation/econ pressure, but applied/advocated to be let in NATO/EU.

I’m proud to finally announce the launch of The Yemen Listening Project. An Arabic-English collection of nearly 100 personal stories, from Yemenis, about what it has been like to live through a war that enters its 10th year this week. 🧵thenewhumanitarian.org/yemenlistening…

Ukrainian Easter is truly something otherworldly.

Increasingly convinced a big factor in so many of bad American takes left and right is a terminal lack of awareness of how well off many of them are.

'There is a complete dehumanization for part of me and complete humanization for the other part of me.'

Zoya Miari is a Palestinian Ukrainian who has been made a refugee twice. She tells us about the double standard she's experiencing now that both of her homelands are occupied.

'The charge that Israel has triggered a 'man-made famine' by deliberately obstructing the entry of aid into Gaza is backed by an increasing body of evidence.' That could lead to International Criminal Court war-crime charges, as its prosecutor has warned.
