"The USA and its allies in Latin America have refused to recognize the results of Venezuela's elections, as far-right opposition extremists try to overthrow President Nicolás Maduro, with the help of billionaire oligarch Elon Musk. Ben Norton documents the many US-backed coups since Venezuelan leader Hugo Chávez came to power and launched the Bolivarian Revolution."

Fore some times, mastodon has been unsafe for black and other minorities users, the peoples impacted by this have been complaining about it openly, emphasizing the lack of good moderation tools to make instances safer. The s on the dev team and userbase however have essentially plugged their ears and refused to listen, and instead engaged in bad faith, tone policing, minimizing racism, dismissing the testimony of black users, and telling them to "curate their experience better" with filters and blocks (even though a big part of the complaint is that this doesn't work).

Seeing this, some black peoples who have been complaining about racism on mastodon and the lack of security features to deal with it have taken things in their own hands and made a fork of Mastodon named Awujo.

"China firmly condemns the assassination of Hamas politburo chief Ismail Haniyeh, said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian at a press conference in Beijing on Wednesday."

"Avenging Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh's assassination is "Tehran's duty" because it occurred in the Iranian capital, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Wednesday. CGTN's correspondent, Ehsan Keivani, has the latest from Iran's capital, Tehran."

US military bases have been established on the islands right across from Taiwan where US claims to be defending the right to self determination, despite the fervent opposition of the inhabitants. This needs to be pointed out any time somebody starts bleating about Taiwan.

“Isr*el“ continues to unleash hell upon the 22-by-5-mile concentrated area of Gaza, in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, with relentless airstrikes and indiscriminate bombings of hospitals, residential buildings, schools, and other civilian sites. As besieged Palestinians shelter and flee and die within the walls of their cage in Gaza, Resistance forces are mobilizing to rise up against an Occupation that has presided over lives for 75 years.

Where there is occupation, there is resistance, and numerous Palestinian resistance groups exist across the Occupied Territories. These groups consist of occupied subjects turned freedom fighters—those who have been directly targeted by “Isrel“, who have witnessed their friends and families die at the hands of occupying forces, and who have been labeled "terrorists" for resisting their slow extermination. In Jenin, a 1km square ghetto-like refugee camp in the occupied West Bank, and the target of numerous “Isreli“ incursions, there are many who have chosen the path of armed resistance, and many who felt they had no other choice.

For those who suffer under the direct oppression and daily practices of apartheid—including the suspension of human and civil rights, military-imposed blockades and checkpoints restricting people's movements, the demolition of homes and killing of family members—there comes a breaking point. Generations of Palestinians, born into Occupation and violence, do not live a life of dignity. As they describe, under these conditions, they have nothing to live for and nothing to lose, and they have everything to fight for.

In July of this year, before the Oct. 7 Hamas-led attacks and “Isr*el“'s genocidal retaliatory offensive in Gaza, The Real News Network spoke to members of the community in Jenin refugee camp about their lives under Occupation, the role of the Resistance there, and the fight for freedom.

Quite tragic.

Talking about the DPRK here.

We might have to put this thing on watch

It barely started and they're already screaming about MUH SATANISM, Da Vinci Last Supper parody, blue man, beheaded Marie Antoinette(based af ngl) etc while France is still occupying and extracting resources from multiple countries in Africa, literally currently allowing settler genocidal apartheid to participate and adamantly supporting nazis while treating Muslims like lower class.

All of that while these wastes of air cry about muh ''satanism'', ''decadence'', moral panic etc and for some reason pointing out at current Russia as an example of how Olympic Game opening should be.

I just find it so hilarious and disgustingly pathetic at the same time that they will waste their lives and time on this stuff rather than criticize and oppose France, Eurovision, World Cup or whichever country or event for the right reasons.

How does even mess up "Republique de Coree" for "Republique Populaire Democratique de Coree"

Anyways, enjoy the recognition, boys!
