This book I edited with the Iranian sociologist, Seyed Javad Miri, has been selling like wildfire lately. I assume people are interested in a non-clerical form of Iranian resistance to imperial aggression. #Iran #IranWar #Islam #Israel #War #imperialism #Trump #Shi’a #Khamenei #IRGC #Shariati #USA

This is a map from JP Morgan showing when oil shipments from the Strait of Hormuz are scheduled to make their last deliveries in different parts of the world.

Even if hostilities were to cease today, refineries & storage facilities have been struck, & tankers travel slowly, so there still would be a lag period before more ships sail out plus additional supply reductions. It's similar to last year's tariffs mess (a practice run?), but this time, it can't all be undone by a signature or phone call.

Brace for impact; this is an oil shock that's very likely to pop the bubble of the global capitalist economy, causing price spikes & even rationing in the short term, followed by all kinds of serious turmoil.

Help Arrives for Cuba in Crisis, as Most Nations Stand Aside

Streets and hospital corridors at night in Cuba are dark. Cars and buses don’t move. Cubans walk or ride bicycles. Trash doesn’t move. Trucks lack fuel.

2010 : découverte de vastes réserves de gaz naturel offshore au Mozambique

💰 "Les grandes majors pétrolières se sont précipitées sur le Mozambique pour s’accaparer les ressources du pays. #TotalEnergies, #ExxonMobil, #ENI et China National Petroleum Corporation opèrent désormais à proximité des zones d’insurrection. Pour protéger les installations des géants pétroliers, le Mozambique a fait appel à des mercenaires" & à des armées

"Kigali utilise ces opérations comme vitrine pour vendre les services de ses forces armées, dans la même logique que son engagement en République centrafricaine, au Mali ou au Soudan du Sud"

Mutual Aid vs Humanitarian Aid: Palestine, Sudan, Congo

Mutual aid sustains survival with dignity in Palestine, Sudan, and Congo, as opposed to Humanitarian aid acts that often acts as empire’s outpost

wrzky | Decolonial Feminist Praxis in Islamic Social Justice and Liberation

In the digital age, mutual aid has taken on new forms. On the one hand, crowdfunding platforms like GoFundMe or Chuffed are capitalist infrastructures that reproduce many of the same problems as donor-driven aid: they demand performances of suffering, extract fees, and expose the dispossessed to surveillance. On the other hand, they have also become indispensable tools.

At the same time, Palestinians livestreaming their destruction, Sudanese volunteers sharing appeals, and Congolese organisers posting campaign links all bend these tools toward survival. As a result, digital infrastructures become unlikely spaces where dispossessed communities fight to stay alive.

Nevertheless, digital solidarity is imperfect, but it is real. Consequently, campaigns amplified on platforms like Threads extend reach beyond the limits of geography. They allow dispossessed communities to build transnational networks of care, even as states and empires attempt to block resources at borders.

The lesson is not that digital tools solve dispossession. They do not. Instead, they reveal the creativity of communities that refuse to wait for institutions that have already abandoned them.
