Of the several liberal reporters I’ve talked to, none of them understood this basic point. Acted like it blew their minds. Such is the level of jingoistic indoctrination this stuff is just repeated with almost no thought by *serious* journalists.

As I understand it, the actual "monument" will stay in place but there won't be any names because if they'd been added too many of them would have been literal Nazis. $7.5 million worth of public money well spent.

Venezuela shipping oil to Cuba is NOT an example of a "black market" at work. Vox labelling it as such is an example of imperial white supremacy at work.

As part of its war of aggression against Venezuela, and its imposition of the colonial Monroe Doctrine, the US is militarizing the Caribbean. Trinidad and Tobago just quietly announced that it will allow US military aircraft to transit its local airports. trinidadexpress.com/newsextra/t-t-…

A China-developed world's largest-diameter shield tunneling machine for high-speed railway construction passed the 10,000-meter mark on Tuesday during the excavation of the Chongming–Taicang Tunnel under the Yangtze River. The 15.4-meter-diameter machine has been operating

The juxtaposition of news

Trump announced a total blockade of Venezuelan oil. Meanwhile, what is Gustavo Petro tweeting? He's calling democratically-elected Nicolás Maduro a "dictator." Venezuela, Cuba, & Nicaragua resist US empire. While two-faced Petro & Lula try to play it safe with the US.

More bad news for Germany: German car makers are even less profitable than their Chinese competitors, according to EY Germany! This and more on today's Chartbook Top Links!

I guess enough people know about this in Shenzhen that even Reuters caught on? lol I'm going to respect the high level of OPSEC around this project & not say too much. But China has built an entire supply chain here. So, we will have lithography involution at some pt in China.

in this interview, NPR's Scott Detrow refers to: "illicit tankers" "smuggling" "black market" Again: Venezuela shipping oil to Cuba violates NO international laws. US sanctions do not, by definition, make something "illicit"––it's just 1 out of 193 UN member states.

fyi, phrasing this as reverse engineering is lazy journalism. China has to build a full supply chain of components needed for EUV. Much of this supply chain has broad applications across tech sectors. Project manager is in charge of integrating everything x.com/GlennLuk/statu…

Hope this turns out to be wrong, but I haven’t much hope at this point. Don’t let grandstanding Democrats and some Republicans- pretend they aren’t as responsible for this situation as is Trump.

Venezuela's Navy is now escorting ships leaving Venezuela with oil-based exports This may mean that US would have to engage in offensive military action against Venezuelan forces — a clear violation of the War Powers Act & Constitution — in order to enforce the naval blockade

“Mr Maduro’s claims that the US is solely motivated by oil. Those [claims] seem overblown.” - Guardian editorial board Dec 12.

This is much better. Clear & honest. No bullshit about fentanyl or WMDs. The US is gearing up for war against Venezuela because it wants to install a regime that is more friendly to US capital. Same story of liberalization by force as it’s always, but finally more transparency.

A party based on Azov Movement’s leader Andriy Biletsky 3rd Brigade would come third in the Rada election, according to a KMIS poll cited by Censor.net. Additionally, another imaginary “Azov party” would also get a solid 5%. The poll places a yet to be created

ICYMI: Meeting China's Paris Agreement commitments for 2030 requires keeping CO2 emissions falling, which in turn requires that current wind&solar targets are exceeded by a wide margin. The good news is that every single previous wind&solar target has been overachieved.

"My daughter opposes genocide and also sexual abuse. Where did I go wrong?"

Think about what kind of people had disproportionate influence on what has been acceptable to say about Ukraine, Russia, and the war, and where they led us.
