A protest in Queens against the sale of occupied #Palestinian land in the #WestBank last week offered some people an opportunity to once again try to attack NYC Mayor Zohran #Mamdani. Outrage at a pro-#Hamas chant understandably drew headlines. But some of the rhetoric from the pro-#Israel was at least as heinous, arguably even more so, and there was barely a peep about it.

Die israelische Armee wurde von Netanyahu beauftragt im März erneut weiter ungebremst in Gaza Eroberung, Zerstörung und Vertreibung voranzutreiben. Man will mehr von Gaza erobern, oder ganz und die Bewohner in ein noch kleineres Stück Land zusammenzutreiben. - mit noch weniger Rücksichtnahme auf Zivilisten, denn die Hamas hat ja die Geiseln freigelassen.

Israel planning Gaza City offensive in March, but will need Trump’s okay — officials

Netanyahu, skeptical US will be able to secure Hamas's disarmament, has had IDF devise contingency plan to take over more of Strip's territory, Arab official tells ToI

Wie albern sich die ganzen Leute vorkommen müssten die über zwei Jahre Genozid hinweg immer wieder "Der Krieg wäre sofort zu Ende gewesen wenn die Hamas die Geiseln frei lassen würde!" geschrieben haben.

Währenddessen wird das Waffenstillstandsabkommen weiterhin nicht vom Staat Israel eingehalten. Täglich Bombardierungen, täglich tote Menschen in Gaza.

So wirds dann wohl weiter gehen bis Trump das okay dafür gibt für noch viel mehr Gewalt.

I'm posting this in case I'm missing something, perhaps I am. Is the only way to rewind and fast forward on IOS when those playback sliders exist that move by 5 seconds per swipe, to swipe them a million times until you move the desired increment of 5 seconds, even if you want to rewind/fast forward 30 minutes or something? This goes for playing long audio files in Safari or playing Youtube videos. I know there's a rewind and fast forward button in Youtube, but that's 10 seconds as well. Just curious if there's some trick with those things I don't know about.

Venezuela and Haiti vs. U.S. Imperialism: Same Struggle, One Fight


When cornered, a wild animal reacts viciously, out of fear and desperation, and this can take very unexpected forms. No longer able to blame communism as the enemy it seeks to destroy, U.S. imperialism now attacks any nation seeking sovereignty. It has revealed itself to be the sworn enemy of all oppressed peoples struggling for peace, happiness, and freedom.

​Today, the Trump administration has resurrected Washington’s discredited “war on drugs” as a pretext to violate international law. Everything it says is nothing but deceit, intrigue, and lies to achieve its primary objective: the plundering of others nations’ resources.

​Frankly, we are not entirely surprised by what happened on Jan. 3, 2026, in Venezuela. The brazen criminality and arrogance displayed by humanity’s greatest and most implacable enemy cannot be overstated. This outrageous act has deeply affected all those who fight against imperialism, reminding them and confirming for them U.S. imperialism’s cynicism.​
Explosions from the illegal U.S. raid in Caracas, Venezuela to capture President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Celia Flores.
The Pentagon’s “Operation Absolute Resolve” confirms more than ever that the imperialist monster has only one real objective: to prevent the economic and social development of any nations that are not its vassals. This U.S. military attack against the Venezuelan people is part of a global imperialist offensive against progressive, defiant countries, and first and foremost, against those possessing enormous mineral and oil resources.

​It is a pity that the U.S. was able to accomplish this mission without casualties or other losses. That said, the battle is far from over. The game has only just begun. With the kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro, imperialism has scored a goal, but it will lose this match even if it is prepared to cheat, lie, and even send its own citizens to their death. In fact, this coup may well dig imperialism’s grave in the world, especially in Latin America. This region’s people will not stand by idly, having acquired the necessary experience, unity, and indignation to act.

​Maduro has become a living symbol! His arrest replicates when the Spanish invaders captured the Taino chieftain Caonabo in 1494 during Haiti’s colonization or when Napoleon’s French legion kidnapped Toussaint Louverture, the precursor of Haiti’s independence, in 1802 during our revolutionary struggle.​
Outrage and disgust at the French arrest of Toussaint Louverture (above) transformed the struggle against slavery into Latin America’s first victorious independence revolution in 1804.
Honor also to Maduro’s Cuban security team who died heroically fighting the Yankee Delta Force invaders. Their revolutionary sacrifice and internationalist bravery echoes the example of the thousands of Cubans who fell fighting to defend Angola against South African and U.S. imperialist aggression.

​No matter what happens to him while he is a prisoner persecuted by the American kangaroo court system, President Nicolas Maduro will soon be victorious along with his people, a victory that will belong to the international working class and all those struggling to rid themselves of the U.S. empire’s impunity, interference, and domination. Trump has proven to be the worst president the United States has ever had; he has learned nothing from history.

​One thing must now be clear for all those who still had doubts: the United States can no longer hide its true intentions. There is no longer any pretense of a “rules based order.”

​It is no longer a secret that the world’s greatest terrorists are the U.S. leaders who kidnap heads of state and, more often than not, assassinate them. Today, the entire world has caught the U.S. leaders red-handed; they, whose country is the breeding ground for terrorism in all its forms, are nevertheless always the first to label other countries “terrorist states.” The Maduro case will be difficult for empire to manage. Unlike Panama’s Manuel Noriega in 1989, Maduro has a dedicated social movement behind him, not just in Venezuela, but across Latin America and around the world. Every arrow that the empire’s archers shoot at him only brings him greater strength and prestige.​
In the Dominican Republic, a statue of the Taino chieftain Caonabo, captured by the Spanish in 1494.
It’s worth remembering that, in 1914, U.S. Marines first landed in Haiti to steal what remained of our gold bar reserves from the National Bank of the Republic of Haiti and then transport them to the City Bank in Manhattan. The same gold theft began in 1492 when Christopher Columbus landed, and he even stole and replaced the Taino’s name for the island, Haiti, with the name Hispaniola, to honor his Spanish royal underwriters, King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella. Other Europeans followed to steal and plunder all the region’s wealth, then renaming it also “America” in 1507, in honor of the Italian navigator, Amerigo Vespucci.

​This history explains why no European country (with the exception of Russia) has denounced the United States’ crime against Venezuela: because this is how they enrich themselves, by plundering what does not belong to them.

​But in the eyes of the rest of the planet, the United States has lost all credibility and is reviled.

​Following this shameful event, the Haitian bourgeois press, unscrupulous as it is, must cease its indecent penchant for interviewing U.S., Canadian, and French ambassadors. These barbarians have no credibility, no morality, no wisdom, and certainly no trust. They are nothing but sweet-talking diplomats in the service of thieves, kidnappers, pirates, and buccaneers who plunder nations in broad daylight.

​Donald Trump may insult Haiti by calling it a “shit-hole,” even though all the mineral wealth, agricultural output, and labor power of this “poor” country, like that of other neocolonies, has helped make him and his nation rich. And the leaders that the U.S. empire imposes on us are just as stupid and reactionary as their masters. Wouldn’t it have been nice to have had Haitian authorities who would strongly and roundly denounce Washington’s repulsive, criminal action and demand the unconditional release of the Venezuelan president? But alas! We have 10 servile, sniveling puppets.​
President Nicolas Maduro and his wife Celia Flores before a massive crowd at their final campaign rally in Caracas on Jul. 25, 2024.
Shame on you, United States! Where is your victory, Donald Trump and Marco Rubio? Your orchestrated campaign against the Venezuelan people will fail and will fool no one with a shred of decency and intelligence.
​The U.S. has also committed a most serious and costly error in thinking it can dictate Venezuela’s destiny as it did Haiti’s. This diktat, which creates exploitation, misery, and humiliation in all its forms, will not be tolerated by the Venezuelan people after 27 years of self-determination. They will overcome these new Conquistadors very quickly, just as the Haitian people continue to fight for their second independence and national liberation. May this incredible violation of Venezuelan sovereignty not go unanswered and be severely condemned so that such acts may never again be perpetrated anywhere in the world.

​Outrage and disgust at the arrest of Toussaint Louverture transformed the struggle against slavery into Latin America’s first victorious independence revolution in 1804 against a European empire, creating a nation that supported Bolivar with printing presses, boats, guns, and soldiers. Similarly in Venezuela, faced with this imperialist aggression, there is only one response: patriotic and revolutionary mobilization.

​This bitter experience can only stoke the revolutionary passion of the Venezuelan people, conscious and determined to learn all the lessons from it in order to dismantle this insane capitalist system and strengthen the Bolivarian socialist revolution, as well as ensure the unconditional return of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Celia Flores, to their country. Cursed be U.S. imperialism! Long live the Venezuelan people! Long live the struggle of the Haitian people! Long live socialism!

States are colour-coded from very low (pale yellow) to very high (dark maroon), with diagonal hatching indicating limited data. Much of the Midwest and Northeast show high to very high COVID activity, while parts of the West and Southeast show lower levels. Text below notes the 12th U.S. COVID wave is peaking or may have peaked in late December, with about one-third of states having poor data quality and the Midwest and Northeast experiencing the highest transmission overall.
Table titled “National COVID-19 Estimates (U.S.)” dated January 12, 2026, from the Pandemic Mitigation Collaborative model (pmc19.com/data). It reports an estimated 1 in 55 people (1.8%) actively infectious, about 892,000 new infections per day, and 5.6 million infections in the past week. Total infections in 2026 are estimated at 12 million, with 4.94 cumulative infections per person. Estimated long COVID cases range from 45,000–178,000 per day and 280,000–1.12 million per week. Estimated excess deaths range from 260–440 per day and 1,600–2,700 per week. A note states daily infections may have dipped to around 900,000 if the wave has peaked.
Table titled “COVID-19 State Prevalence Estimates” dated January 12, 2026, from the Pandemic Mitigation Collaborative (pmc19.com/data).

@Their motto is deception. The world is in big trouble while we all fight over the biggest slice we can get of a dwindling pie and squander the majority of that pie in the fight. And fighting over the name of God, God when asked his name replied, "I am that I am", why can't we be happy with that?
