Mohammed al-Bukhaiti says the Houthis will come to the aid of any Arab or Muslim nation under attack.
“We will intervene to support Tehran against Zionist aggressions as we supported our brothers in Gaza,” al-Bukhaiti said.
The Houthis have been carrying out drone and missile attacks against Israel in a campaign that they say aims to pressure the country to end its war on Gaza.
Over the past days, Houthi missiles have coincided with Iranian launches against Israel.
Excellent article. And yeah, if the war continues to escalate one of two things is gonna happen: the end of Western hegemony and the current economic paradigms (I have savings in dollars still so I'm going down with some of you, boys!) or the end of/an almost deadly blow to BRICS.
I think it will depend on the same thing as Ukraine war: victory. If Iran fall, hard times ahead for antiimperialism. If Iran withstand, hard time ahead for imperialism.
I think so but maybe it ain't so simple. Maybe it's theater before 'normalization' with Israel, as it slowly stops being America's pet project and becomes more integrated with the region? After all, the war appeases the moral side of the world after Israel/the USA took some hits, and it provides that pale devil Netanyahu excuses to remain in power and avoid the court for now plus it allows him to exit power more gracefully ("after decades of Middle Eastern aggression, I have reached a deal with them!"). We shall see.
seems like a lot of wish casting about other BRICS members doing or caring or saying anything about this. But I agree that whatever plays out with Iran is what the rest of the BRICS members have in store. So far it seems like the rest of the world will just fold to the US as usual. Since most of the world is run by capitalists who only care about their own wellbeing.
Yeah I fear this will be the case as well. They’re probably going to bomb the living shit out of Tehran now. Honestly Iran made a mistake of not escalating while all their forces were intact, for some reason they assumed that the USA was a rational actor. I’m guessing that China must know that they’re next on the hit list though.
Honestly I hate Isreal and the USA so fucking much I don’t even want to know what the climate impact of this war will be. I’m looking forward to 3 degrees of warming in 20 years…
Six hours after Israel’s air strikes in Iran last Friday, farmers in Iraq could have looked up and seen Iranian drones traveling west: more than 100 of them flew on a 1,700-kilometer journey to Israel, with their propellers buzzing like Weedwackers.
Among them was the Shahed-136. Composed mostly of foam and plywood, each Shahed-136 drone is 3.5 meters long and has a 2.5-meter wingspan and a 40- to 50-kilogram warhead at its nose. The drone’s “brain,” a sensor the size of a cough drop, measures every movement while a credit-card-sized GPS onboard listens for microwave chirps from navigation satellites. The Shahed’s route (its waypoints in latitude, longitude and altitude) is uploaded before a booster rocket fires it into the sky. And it is loud: its 50-horsepower motor is slightly more potent than that of a 1960s Volkswagen Beetle and would be as noisy as a lawn mower or a moped at full throttle—now multiplied by 100 in what military strategists sometimes refer to as a rudimentary swarm.
Iran’s recent launch of drones at Israel—or Russia’s use of them against Ukraine, where Shahed drones are nicknamed “flying mopeds”—the swarm’s power is in its numbers. One missile with a similar range can cost upward of $1 million, but a Shahed can be knocked together for $20,000 to $50,000. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) fires them from portable rails or from racks on trucks, and the small pulse rocket on the bottom of each drone slams it to cruise speed before falling off. The Center for Strategic and International Studies describes such drone salvos as tools “used as much to saturate air defenses as they are to attack targets, cluttering radar screens and forcing command centers to make decisions about where to fire their more capable surface-to-air missiles,” exactly the situation Israel faced.
Last Friday, as the more than 100 Iranian drones flocked toward Tel Aviv and were shot down by fighter jets, Israel’s Iron Dome air defense system and a U.S. Navy destroyer in the Mediterranean, they couldn’t adjust their course based on what was happening on the battlefield.
The Shahed, which means “Witness” in Persian, is generally a “fire and forget” drone: it cannot transmit information back or receive updated trajectories (though it is often modeled in different ways, and some Shahed drones used by Russia have reportedly had communication equipment). Rather the swarmlike power of such attacks is based in their cost: in the one late last week, the IRGC could afford to fire drones in a wave so dense that fighter pilots, radar operators and Iron Dome crews had to sort through a moving cloud of identical radar blips.
Iranian Shahed drones, Ukrainian quadcopters and the U.S.’s Golden Horde program reveal three paths to massed autonomy, and each rewrites the rules of air defense
Max mara sotto accusa: sciopero delle lavoratrici il 22 e 23 maggio: “Ci chiamano grasse.” Nel cuore del lusso italiano si nasconde una contraddizione inquietante. Mentre Max Mara è celebrata per la sua eleganza senza tempo e i cappotti impeccabili, le lavoratrici dietro al marchio, perlopiù donne, rompono il silenzio denunciando una realtà dura: regole rigide, esaurimento fisico, salari rubati e promozioni bloccate.
L’ultima protesta arriva dallo stabilimento di San Maurizio a Reggio Emilia, dove 220 lavoratrici hanno scioperato con il supporto del sindacato Filctem-CGIL Le loro richieste? La fine di “condizioni di lavoro inaccettabili” che, a loro dire, appartengono agli anni ‘80, non all’Italia di oggi.
Le lavoratrici di Max Mara: “Ci chiamavano grasse. Contavano le pause bagno”
All’interno della fabbrica, le dipendenti descrivono un ambiente disumanizzante:
Body-shaming: “Ci chiamavano vacche da mungere. Ci dicevano che eravamo troppo grasse, suggerendoci persino esercizi per dimagrire.” Salari da sfruttamento: “Siamo pagate a cottimo, come macchine su una catena di montaggio.” Controllo e umiliazione: “Contano le pause bagno, nonostante siamo donne con il ciclo.” Erica Morelli, segretaria generale di Filctem-CGIL Reggio Emilia, ha condannato l’immobilismo dell’azienda: “Max Mara ha costruito un muro. Questo sciopero è la nostra ultima risorsa per ottenere rispetto.”
Marco Grimaldi, vicecapogruppo di AVS alla Camera, è intervenuto sulla vicenda presentando un’interrogazione parlamentare: “Il colosso Max Mara non applica nemmeno il contratto collettivo nazionale del tessile (CCNL), né offre alcuna trasparenza su emissioni e tutela climatica.”
Moda di lusso, realtà da sweatshop
Non si tratta di un caso isolato. Max Mara si aggiunge a una lunga lista di marchi della moda segnati da abusi lavorativi. Indagini hanno rivelato l’esistenza di laboratori in subappalto — le cosiddette “fabbriche dormitorio” vicino a Milano e Bergamo — dove lavoratori cinesi cuciono borse di lusso a 2€/ora. Le stesse borse vengono poi vendute a 1.800–3.000€.
Facciamo due conti:
• Costo di produzione per borsa: 40–90€
• Prezzo al dettaglio: fino al 3.000% di ricarico
• Quota del lavoratore: meno dell’1% del prezzo finale
In breve, i colossi del lusso fanno affari sulla pelle delle persone e del pianeta.
La moda genera il 5% del PIL italiano, ma si basa su un sistema di schiavitù moderna. Questo è inaccettabile.
Considerazioni finali: la verità scomoda del capitalismo
Max Mara sotto accusa rivela il volto scomodo del lusso. L’industria della moda è lo specchio del capitalismo: glamour in superficie, sfruttamento dietro le quinte. Infatti, dietro la patina del lusso si nasconde un sistema fondato sulla compressione del lavoro per massimizzare i profitti. Eppure, come affermano i sindacati, aumentare il compenso di appena 1–5€ per capo potrebbe cambiare radicalmente la vita dei lavoratori.
Le testimonianze delle lavoratrici Max Mara rivelano quanto sia marcio l’intero sistema economico. Ma può davvero l’industria della moda continuare a esistere umiliando proprio chi la sostiene?
In definitiva, si possono mettere cerotti — soluzioni che sembrano funzionare — con la mediazione di sindacati, forze dell’ordine o altri attori. Ma finché non si affronterà la causa profonda ( cioè il sistema economico stesso), nulla cambierà davvero.

WASHINGTON, June 16 – Following Israel’s military strikes against Iran, which threaten to further destabilize the Middle East and draw the United States into yet another military conflict, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.
This is my blog about my experience at the first Fort Walton Beach, Florida (FWB) No Kings Day celebration. I heard about it from my dad, who mentioned going out there on a Saturday just to see if anyone showed up. I was surprised by the turnout, roughly 200 people showed up in this deep red area, and it was fun. I assume it’s how people feel attending concerts.
By the way, I’m not sure whether to call it a celebration, protest, or demonstration.
Preface: I didn’t prepare much. I brought a folding stool, a Palestinian flag, a painter's mask, and shooter earmuffs. I showed up over an hour late. Luckily, there were people handing out water and signs. Of course, the cops were present. I’ll link the only news coverage on the FWB event to provide more context. I wasn’t interviewed. FWB News Coverage
Part 1: The Assembly in the Park
When I arrived at the park where the celebration started, I recorded someone who looked like local PD, just in case they were aggressive (they weren’t, and nothing came of it). As I listened to the organizers give their instructions, I set up my protest attire by pulling out my Palestinian flag, still in its wrapping. I zip-tied one end to my backpack so I could grab another corner to hold it up like an ad-hoc flagstaff, allowing the flag to hang next to me. I never put on the painter's mask.
When I displayed the flag, another attendee with a flag complimented us on our willingness to be there (of course, I was still overwhelmed and excited to be in public).
As the crowd gathered, I walked around looking at kiosks, people, and signs. Among the more interesting attendees was a small group of Trump supporters, about five people (the reporter said one, but I can confirm two since I saw two holding the same flag), a topless lady with googly eyes over her nipples, and some people holding the trans flag. I visited a kiosk that was handing out "No Kings" signs (about 1' by 2', painted on one side) and asked if he had a trash can, giving him a plastic coat hanger. The first thing I did with the "No Kings" sign was place it next to the Trump supporters' sign that read "Trump is Your King" (approximation) and then moved away, telling those who saw, "You have to have fun at these events." I took a few pictures and videos of the event to read the signs after the celebration was over. Yes, I unintentionally got the topless lady in frame but didn’t get a clear picture of the googly eyes.
Before the march started, I saw an older white man holding a Trump flag. I approached him, wearing my Palestinian flag, and commented, "It must suck to have your political opinion in a crowd that disagrees with you." The older gentleman muttered and walked away to help someone who dropped something. As he did that, I thanked him for looking out for the protesters. I did this to signal to him that he’s not the only one with a hated and unpopular position. Maybe he will consider that his devotion to Trump is comparable to my stance on Palestine.
Part 2: The March (The Interesting Part)
I will preface this by saying that my car said it was 91°F (32.8°C) with 70% humidity and clear skies, so I can blame how I acted and why I waited to write this blog on that.
I came alone to the celebration, making it easy to find a spot next to people. The route of the demonstration was along the sidewalks on Highway 98 (I can affirm this is a major part of the county because it’s the primary way to move east-west).
The first people I walked with asked about my flag, thinking it was a Jordanian flag. I blurted out that it was Palestinian and mentioned that there is a Palestinian state in Jordan that was attacked by Israel in the '70s. As I walked with them, car drivers were handing out bottles of water, and some had decorated their cars with Trump paraphernalia.
Later on, I saw a man in his 30s holding the same Trump flag participating in the march. I audibly muttered, "I can be a troll," and got in front of him to hide his flag with the flag of true heroes who died saving babies from rubble—Palestine. The Trump supporter calmly approached me to talk about Palestine, claiming he had intel on the conflict and that I could ask him any questions. I affirmed that I had no questions. I pointed out that conversations about the Israeli genocide often lead straight to Hamas, and I never commented on it. The points I remember making are that baby rape is bad and that Israel is wrong for rounding up children and abusing them in concentration camps (in response to him saying Palestine or Hamas rapes babies), and that Israel is wrong for intentionally shooting babies. I mentioned that I’m an atheist but can stand with Palestinian Christians, Jews, and Muslims being slaughtered by Israel. I asked how I felt about a new government in Palestine, and I told him I’d have to research it, but it would be like here if Democrats or Republicans came into power—things would still suck; they’re "two flavors of shit," and Trump works for oligarchs. Eventually, he backed off to end the conversation.
I fell behind because my backpack fell apart, and other protesters helped me collect my stuff. People assured me that I should take my portable stool with me for the rest of the march. The cops told me to pick it up, so I blamed the heat for leaving it behind and picked it up. This put me next to an awesome older lady carrying her oxygen concentrator and her sign through the march. She commented on the topless lady with googly eyes as something indecent and objectionable. In my honesty, I said, "I found it hilarious." Later, she said, "That is gay," and I sat there confused. She later confirmed that was about Valimont, the Democrat who ran against Matt Gaetz, known for a sex trafficking scandal and who lost.
As we approached the crosswalk, the police put their vehicle in the intersection so we could cross. As I crossed, I thanked the cop for their service, which made them pause mid-order. I heard protesters behind me also thank the police. Of course, this is controversial, but I thanked the cops to make them more sympathetic to left-wing movements so they wouldn’t throw tear gas at a later protest. I was at a BLM protest in Beavercreek, Ohio, where we got gassed, and they pulled out shields and batons, surrounding us. I wouldn’t mind getting more leeway for leftist movements from the police.
I found someone wearing a red cross and said, "Always good to see first aid" (of course, I meant first responders). The awesome lady went as far as she could but complained about the heat. I offered her my stool and made sure she was okay. Other protesters and I fanned her down using our signs to provide shade. She asked one of the policemen to escort her across the highway to her car. Later, I heard there was a medical emergency and even saw an ambulance on the highway. I continued with the protest because I believe the people around are capable of helping.
I had fun with hecklers, like the teens making sounds, and I asked them for their best goat sounds. . Another heckler shouted, "Viva la Mexico!" and I repeated, "Viva la Mexico!" because "Viva la Mexico" is a great phrase to live by. Then I was told not to engage with hecklers.
Someone told me to go back to Palestine, and I reaffirmed, "I still stand with Palestine."
The Trump supporter was getting pushback from people who didn’t want him there. I stated my position that we can be inclusive and that "he's fine." When he mentioned our conversation, I told everyone that I told him, "I oppose the Israeli genocide."
Part 3: Rally and Returning to My Car
When we finished the loop, there was a rally by the local Democrat running for office. I stood to show off the Palestinian flag (as much as the heat sucks, Palestinians have it worse) and called on my current Republican House representative to protect Medicare and Medicaid, following the rally's instructions before leaving. Someone from Food Not Bombs approached me during the rally to fix my flag so it wasn’t in my hat. I assured them that I was experimenting with different placements and that they could use their discretion; that’s why the flag was like a cape. I made sure the Palestinian flag was in the shot of any camera I saw.
Luckily, I saw that awesome lady one last time, and she confirmed she was alright. I told her I was worried about her since I heard there was a medical emergency.
The heat really started to get to me, and I forgot where I parked my car (it’s like trying to find where you parked at Walmart but you’re more exhausted). I rested for a minute before placing my sign next to a chain-link fence next to the highway and returned to my car.

Ice agents arrested the New York City comptroller and Democratic mayoral candidate Brad Lander at a federal building in Manhattan. He had spent the morning there observing immigration hearings and told an Associated Press reporter he had intended to accompany some immigrants out of the building. Footage of the arrest shows an agent telling Lander: 'You're obstructing'. Lander replies: 'You don't have the authority to arrest US citizens asking for a judicial warrant' as he was led into a lift
Forse sarà semplicemente il caldo, o forse sarà più probabilmente il fatto che la mia relativa vecchiaia terribilmente e costantemente avanzante mi rende a poco a poco sempre più insofferente nei confronti dell’esistenza mia stessa già di per sé pesante oltre ogni accettabile grado, ma… ultimi e ultimissimi giorni, e sto davvero impazzendo e marcendo […]
pazzia topastica, pensando e facendo tomi nella mia marciscenza
Forse sarà semplicemente il caldo, o forse sarà più probabilmente il fatto che la mia relativa vecchiaia terribilmente e costantemente avanzante mi rende a poco a poco sempre più insofferente nei confronti dell’esistenza mia stessa già di per sé pesante oltre ogni accettabile grado, ma… ultimi e ultimissimi giorni, e sto davvero impazzendo e marcendo più del solito. Non ancora al punto da decompormi per davvero, e di questo ovviamente un po’ me ne dispiaccio, ma comunque ho l’acqua stagnante nella testa, che è un po’ ops. 💧
Tra tutto, i tomi, in questo inizio settimana che sa come al solito anche da weekend lungo a causa del mio ineluttabile stato di disoccupazione, mi stanno dando in particolar modo alla testa. I fottuti tomi! Eh si, purtroppo, perché l’altra giornata [è ruotata] esclusivamente [attorno al] sito [dei] tomi, oggi [sono accadute e/o mi sono concessa] solo cose di margine coi tomi — che magari tangono o forse non c’entrano con il principio cardine di questa mia tomomania; tra cui il semplicemente mettermi sul lettino con qualche tomo cartaceo in mano per più tempo del solito, sperando o che arrivi la notte o che il mio temporaneo gusto del marcire passi — e invece, nel mezzo… 🐸
Ero talmente fuori di testa — evidentemente molto più di oggi — quando ieri tra mattina e pomeriggio mi è venuta questa idea, priva di alcun senso pratico, davvero soltanto perché il mio cervello ha sul momento pensato che la cosa facesse ridere… e ora che tale stronzata esiste davvero non mi capacito di come io abbia mai potuto pensare qualcosa del genere. Tra il mio classico perdere tempo e le altre cose che ho fatto, ieri ho dato solo l’idea all’LLM, mi sono fatta dare la scaletta, e gli ho fatto scrivere i primi 3 capitoli; stamattina invece gli ho fatto generare il resto, ho giusto sistemato gli heading e rimosso le emoji a caso che all’IA piace inserire, e ne è dunque uscito fuori un PDF di quasi 100 pagine in formato ISO B5: “Un Tomo sui Tomi“. Non l’ho ovviamente letto affatto, e mai lo farò, era giusto per generare spazzatura. 😈
Quindi boh, questo è tutto. La mia anima è insomma al momento presa interamente in ostaggio da ciò che i tomi rappresentano, la mia mente è stata completamente divorata dalla parola tomo (o meglio, dal lemma tomo, per rimanere sulla stessa lunghezza d’onda di disagio linguistico-esistenziale) e dai concetti ad essa associati, e le mie viscere sentono il bisogno assoluto del contatto perenne con la cellulosa. Tempo uno o due ulteriori giorni in questa condizione tragicamente psicotica, e vi giurerò di voler diventare a mia volta un tomo, un blocco rettangolare e robusto di carta e cartone, l’oggetto fisico che più accuratamente può sintetizzare la mia stessa essenza vitale in confronto al noioso default di ossa e carne. 💥

The Trump Organization has launched Trump Mobile and plans to release the T1, a smartphone that it says is "made in USA" at the same time that the iPhone 17 will launch. The problem is, the phone was made in China.
Marking ten years after the launch of Donald Trump's original presidential campaign, the Trump Organization has decided to launch its own mobile phone network. Dubbed Trump Mobile, it is a network that is being promoted as an All-American service," and heavily leaning on the Trump brand.
While the launch of a new mobile phone network will certainly draw an audience of Trump followers, it feels more like a cash-in on the Trump brand rather than a real attempt to take on the U.S. mobile market.
Former U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez is set to report to federal prison on Tuesday to begin serving an 11-year sentence for accepting bribes of gold and cash and acting as an agent of Egypt. The New Jersey Democrat has been mocked for the crimes as “Gold Bar Bob,” according to his own lawyer.
Menendez’s lawyers revealed in court papers last month that he is expected to be housed at a facility in eastern Pennsylvania that has both a medium-security prison and a minimum-security prison camp. Given the white-collar nature of his crimes, it’s likely he’ll end up in the camp.
Pleading for leniency, Menendez told a judge at his sentencing in January: “I am far from a perfect man. I have made more than my share of mistakes and bad decisions. I’ve done far more good than bad.”
Menendez has also appeared to be angling for a pardon from President Donald Trump, aligning himself with the Republican’s criticisms of the judicial system, particularly in New York City.
For some chronic illnesses. Yeah. But imagine that for life. And that’s the best you feel. It can get worse. Sometimes for long periods, you don’t know if you will get back even to the that “shitty best you feel”. And even at your best, you barely feel a fraction as good as a healthy person.
You don’t get to feel okay your birthday, or on christmas, or when you need to do something special. You just feel ill, like a bad hangover or bad flu, in perpetuity.
That’s the reality for a lot of severe chronic illnesses.

Cock.li confirmed the validity of the breach based on sample data and column structure, stating that the exposed dataset includes roughly 1,023,800 user records. The compromised fields include email addresses, timestamps of first and last webmail logins, failed login attempt data, language preferences, and serialized Roundcube user settings such as webmail signatures and interface configurations. Additionally, approximately 93,000 contact entries associated with around 10,400 users were leaked, containing names, email addresses, comments, and vCard data.
Not sure why people ever trusted a meme email provider in the first place...
Despite this exposure, Cock.li emphasizes that no passwords, email message contents, or IP addresses were included in the breach. Passwords were stored in a separate sessions table, which was not among the leaked assets. The breach only affects users who accessed their accounts via Roundcube’s webmail interface at any point between 2016 and the feature’s deprecation earlier this month. Cock.li administrators sent targeted notifications to users with contact data included in the leak.
After Israel’s surprise drone attack on Iranian nuclear targets, many are concerned that China could be preparing for something similar in the United States.
The groups noted that after the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests, California approved Senate Bill 98, which stipulated press rights amid protests.
Additionally, press groups noted that LAPD officers were given training following the 2020 protests on how to work safely with journalists.
"The investment in the training was in the millions, and some of the training has indeed been put to use by officers. But recent events have made it clear that the need for re-training is high," the National Press Club said.
The lawsuit seeks to stop the LAPD from engaging in unconstitutional acts against journalists.
While much of the news coverage has turned toward the US president’s mobilization of the military and what that means for his growing authoritarian tendencies, this is only half the story. To fully understand what is at stake in the protests, we can’t lose sight of the thing that drove people to protest in the first place: a violently unfair immigration system that is an affront to us all.
It is worth noting that this immigration system is not an original component of US governance. Whereas the first government under the US constitution formed in 1789, there were no federal immigration laws until the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, and even this law was limited in the sense that it banned a specific class of immigrants. The US did not have closed borders until the Immigration Act of 1924, which established national origins quotas across the board.
The primary justifications for these early immigration laws were xenophobia, eugenics, and overt racism. By the 1990s, however, multinational corporations understood that closed borders – especially combined with free trade agreements freeing multinational companies to shop around for “cheap” workers, while at the same time constraining the options of workers to move around and look for better jobs – were a powerful weapon in their arsenal to squeeze ever more profit out of global supply chains. While cleverly hidden behind discourses of “security” and “sovereignty,” our immigration system is actually a scam rigged to guarantee an upward flow of wealth at the cost of human rights.
The North American Free Trade Agreement (Nafta) illustrates this dynamic. Signed in 1992, Nafta created a free trade zone among Mexico, Canada and the US, specifically making it easier for goods, capital and corporations to move freely while conspicuously ignoring the movement of workers. Far from an oversight, as the scholar Bill Ong Hing has written, this was the whole point of the agreement.
The primary justifications for early immigration laws were xenophobia, eugenics, and overt racism. Understanding the history of immigration is essential
Smith’s mother, April Newkirk, tells 11Alive that Chance, a baby boy, was born prematurely last week by emergency cesarean section. The infant weighs about 1 pound 13 ounces and is in the NICU.
Smith has been kept medically alive since February 19, when she was declared brain dead at eight weeks pregnant due to blood clots in her brain. Her family says doctors kept her on life support due to Georgia’s abortion law, the LIFE Act, which doesn’t clearly address cases of brain death, but causes confusion in medical environments. News of her condition made national headlines as she was kept on life-support while pregnant, and her family railed against the decision.
Adriana Smith, a 31-year-old brain-dead Atlanta woman, gave birth on June 13 and will be removed from life support on Tuesday under Georgia abortion laws, her family says.
The scientist responsible for overseeing the CDC team that collects data on Covid and RSV hospitalizations resigned on Monday.
Dr Fiona Havers told colleagues in an email that she no longer had confidence the data would be used “objectively or evaluated with appropriate scientific rigor to make evidence-based vaccine policy decisions”, according to Reuters.
She resigned before a planned meeting of a new vaccine panel put in place by Robert Kennedy Jr after he fired all 17 members of the CDC’s independent vaccine advisory panel. Kennedy also dropped a recommendation to get the Covid shot for healthy children and pregnant women.
