An active-duty officer with the U.S. Army publicly announced his resignation on Monday from the Defense Intelligence Agency and the service over the American government’s policy on #Gaza ― the latest official to leave their post in protest of the Biden administration’s continued support for Israel’s military offensive in the Palestinian enclave.
"The West led by the United States is completely out of touch. The whole world wants the genocide against the Palestinians to end now."
Indian historian and Marxist academic Vijay Prashad spoke at the event "Latin America Speaks: Solidarity Vs. Empire". In the midst of dangerous escalation by Israel, Prashad spoke about the role of US-NATO imperialism in driving war around the world.

A reminder of what a global geopolitical fiasco resembled just a few years ago.
Capitalist media is framing Instant Pot as a corporate cautionary tale of a company that went bankrupt because they made a product so durable & versatile that its customers had little need to buy another one.

Benoit Mandelbrot revolutionized our understanding of the world by discovering fractals.
His work challenged traditional Euclidean geometry and provided a new lens through which to view the world, impacting fields ranging from mathematics and physics to art and economics. His legacy lies in revealing the hidden order within chaos and demonstrating the interconnectedness of the universe across all scales.

@jimray@mastodon.social big problems like the climate crisis cannot be solved at the individual level, these are systemic problems driven by the selection pressures of the global capitalist system.
Abolishing capitalism is the only way forward.
A leading US disease ecologist says he has faced death threats and harassment because of his work with Chinese scientists on virus research before the Covid-19 pandemic – an experience he describes as a “medieval” witch hunt.

@fanf42@social.treehouse.systems @jimray@mastodon.social I agree, there are no quick solutions to the problem.
Educating and organizing people into an effective political movement is a long and difficult process.
Unfortunately, the alternative is that capitalism simply descends into fascism as it tends to do in times of crisis. This is looking like an increasingly likely scenario across the western world.
