Elon Musk Pope of Muskanity Balaji It's funny for Elon Musk to bring up emeralds. His dad got rich by owning an emerald mine while living in apartheid South Africa.

There's no such thing as a self-made billionaire.

Rich Dad + Access to Cheap Labor + Business & Political Connections = 'Self-Made' Billionaire

BREAKING: Rather than let me report to a low-security federal prison as is customary, Judge Preska just issued an order that appears designed to force me into one of the most unsafe city jails in the country. (Unless the Appeals Court allows me to stay out.)

Unprecedented.

BREAKING: In a huge victory, the U.N. has ruled that my 786-day house arrest violates international law — including my right to a fair trial, right to a fair judge, and right to be free from arbitrary detention.

Urging my immediate release and reparations.

Almost 20 years after he sent me to Iraq, I disrupted George W. Bush’s speech tonight. I tried to read a list of names, mostly of Iraqis killed, as well as my friends who became anti-war activists after Iraq who then died of suicide or other war wounds. (They ripped up my list)

This short two-minute clip of Australian troops murdering an unarmed villager is a far more accurate picture of the realities of the Afghanistan🇦🇫 occupation than any of the pictures of soldiers kissing babies and protecting children we're being inundated with right now.

On this day in 1960, Soviet space dogs Belka and Strelka travelled into space aboard Korabl'-Sputnik 2 and completed 17 orbits of Earth. Unlike the more famous Laika, Belka and Strelka returned to Earth safely, making them the first creatures to go to space and come back alive.

On this day in 1953, the US and Britain orchestrated a brutal coup against Mohammed Mossadegh, the progressive, democratically elected leader of Iran, because he sought to restore national control over the country's oil reserves.

The US government's internal oversight office, SIGAR, admits, 'all war-related costs for U.S. efforts in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Pakistan over the last two decades are estimated to be $6.4 trillion.'

(Most of that spending went into the pockets of private, for-profit contractors)

In case you're still confused about why the US security state and political class loathes Julian Assange so much and wants him imprisoned forever, watch this video of him in 2011 talking about the purpose of the war in Afghanistan.

He's imprisoned because he's a real journalist:

Resharing an old article I wrote on Afghanistan so people can familiarize themselves w the real reasons the US invaded in 2001:
1. The Taliban turned sour on the UNOCAL pipeline deal 2. The Taliban fatwa banning opium cultivation
It was about drugs + oil

The IPCC report is beyond dire. And the elephant in the room is the impact of US war & militarism.

Many of my Democratic colleagues chose to go on vacation early today rather than staying to vote to keep people in their homes.

I’ll be sleeping outside the Capitol tonight. We’ve still got work to do.

The House just adjourned for a 6-week recess without extending the eviction moratorium which expires on Saturday, threatening over 6 million Americans with immediate homelessness. This is an atrocity.

A vast arc of Western audiences from DC to London are being kept in the dark about the sadistic impact of their governments’ sanctions and Dirty Wars because corrupt, inept media propagandists won’t provide them with the facts. Journalism is becoming extremely scarce:
