"‘Pools of blood, hundreds of gunshots’: I am a surgeon in Iran - this is the horror I’ve witnessed in the crackdown"
"‘Pools of blood, hundreds of gunshots’: I am a surgeon in Iran - this is the horror I’ve witnessed in the crackdown"
“The Latin American Anarchist Coordination and sibling organizations condemn the threats of direct intervention in Venezuela by the US government, driven by the Trump administration.
These attempts and threats of intervention are not isolated incidents, nor are they a temporary response to alleged problems of ‘security’, ‘drug trafficking’, or ‘terrorism’. On the contrary, they are part of a long history of imperial interference in Latin America and the Caribbean, the effects of which have systematically fallen on the oppressed peoples and classes of the region…
Our struggle goes beyond the borders imposed by states and unites us with all oppressed classes. The imperialist government of the North has taken a xenophobic, racist, and persecutory stance toward migrant communities within its territory. The attack on Venezuela is ideologically based on the racism that is inherent in the US state—as in other states—and that radiates internally and externally in favor of the dominant classes of that country.”

About the Host:
"Margaret Killjoy is an author, musician, crafter, and general jack of all trades. She has spent most of her adult life on the road, but is currently nestled into the #Appalachian mountains. Politically, she is an #anarchist: she believes that society would be better off without systems of #hierarchy and #oppression such as the state, #capitalism, #WhiteSupremacy, #patriarchy, and the like. She is a trans woman and her pronouns are she/her, but she also believes in the abolition of gendered language and has no problem with people using the singular 'they' to refer to her."

Les plateformes centralisées sont le pain bénit des régimes autoritaires. Le gouvernement chinois actuel a décidé qu’il est désormais interdit de publier des messages aux émotions négatives sur les réseaux sociaux, sous peine de voir son compte désactivé.
Voir son compte Wechat désactivé implique de ne plus pouvoir payer au supermarché, contacter les administrations, payer ses factures, réserver des places en crèche, etc.

New rabbit hole: There's apparently been a full-blown panic among law enforcement and corrections officers about fentanyl exposure for the past 3 or more years. Large numbers of LEOs believe that merely touching fentanyl is fatal. There are multiple online videos of officers touching something confiscated in an arrest and then collapsing. There are reports of dozens of correctional officers being rushed to the ER after reportedly touching fentanyl soaked into envelopes in the mail room--one even died last year (summer 2024).
Meanwhile, there are MDs and substance use experts on record saying that literally cannot happen: nobody even gets a buzz from fentanyl by just touching it, let alone dying. There is now scholarly research documenting the widespread false beliefs about fentanyl in LEO circles, and at least one suggesting that all the incidents represent a "culture bound syndrome" in law enforcement; essentially a mass delusion, which triggers panic attacks and perhaps some hypnosis-like states of consciousness.
I haven't verified this point, yet, but I saw one online document alleging that in none of the alleged single-contact exposure reactions to fentanyl (or amphetamines, which are cited in many other incidents) has there ever been an investigation finding any drugs on the mail items, or finding that the officer's reaction really was from the drug they apparently touched. In almost all cases there is apparently no investigation at all, beyond interviewing the officers about their beliefs of what happened.
Anyway, these incidents are also being used by corrections and LE officers to justify #censorship and #torture of #prisoners.
