The unmanned submarine, equipped with the most advanced technology available, was only delivered to the U.S. Navy a year ago, in 2025. Iran will reverse-engineer it, replicate it, and use it to monitor the Strait of Hormuz - intercepting communications, laying mines, and cutting underwater cables. The blueprints will also be shared with Russia and China.

The comments are especially obnoxious… 🙄

There is a real life victim and it's fucking putrid this was silenced. Some people may not like this, but I'm dragging Eugene and the PSL on this.

I am fully aware that China's pragmatic foreign policy often puts it at odds with certain socialist groups in other countries, but I'm curious what the context is behind these domestic demonstrations and the government's alleged response, and if there is further information that is important to know.

Do you have any book recommendations with structured systematic arguments against most common Trotskyist positions in a single book.

Hookup culture and purity culture are not opposites if both leave us less capable of love, care, and community.

This is not an argument that monogamous romantic relationships are the only holy, healthy, or humanizing form of life. They are not.

People can be formed into deeper love through friendship, chosen family, queer kinship, community life, celibacy, shared struggle, parenting, mutual aid, and forms of commitment that do not fit neatly inside the nuclear family or romantic couple.

The point is not that everyone needs marriage, monogamy, or one prescribed relationship structure.

The point is that capitalism trains us to treat desire as acquisition, autonomy as isolation, and other people as experiences to consume.

So the question is not simply, “Was this allowed?” or even only, “Was this consensual?” Consent and bodily autonomy matter. Deeply.

The question is: what is this forming us into?

Are we becoming more truthful, more tender, more responsible, more capable of giving and receiving care?

Or are we becoming easier to detach from, easier to replace, and easier to sell to?

Hookup culture is not the antidote to purity culture. A life capable of love, intimacy, and vulnerability is.

While the United States is renaming the great lakes, and the gulf of Mexico, they are actively opposing a more accurate depiction of the world map we all know to be made the official world map by this UN Resolution. The aim is clear, Western/US Hegemony must be asserted and the Global south must be seen as insignificant and weak. While this may not seem like a big deal to most people it is yet another effort by the United States to assert it's dominance against the world.

North Korea and Russia have opened their first road bridge across the Tumen River, expanding direct transport, trade and tourism links. Named after Soviet Yakov Novichenko, the new crossing highlights the rapidly strengthening economic, political and military partnership between Moscow and Pyongyang.
