Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

There were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.


If you have evidence of Israeli crimes and atrocities that you wish to preserve, there is a thread here in which to do so.


Sources on the fighting in Palestine against Israel. In general, CW for footage of battles, explosions, dead people, and so on:

English-language Palestinian Marxist-Leninist twitter account.
English-language twitter account that collates news (and has automated posting when the person running it goes to sleep).
Arab-language twitter account with videos and images of fighting.
English-language (with some Arab retweets) Twitter account based in Lebanon.
English-language Palestinian Twitter account which reports on news from the Resistance Axis.

English-language PalestineResist telegram channel.

Various sources that are covering the Ukraine conflict are also covering the one in Palestine, like Rybar.


The Country of the Week is Palestine! Feel free to chime in with books, essays, longform articles, even stories and anecdotes or rants. More detail here.


Here is the map of the Ukraine conflict, courtesy of Wikipedia.

The weekly update is here.

Links and Stuff


The bulletins site is down.

Examples of Ukrainian Nazis and fascists

Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict

Add to the above list if you can.


Resources For Understanding The War


Defense Politics Asia's youtube channel and their map. Their youtube channel has substantially diminished in quality but the map is still useful.

Moon of Alabama, which tends to have interesting analysis. Avoid the comment section.

Understanding War and the Saker: reactionary sources that have occasional insights on the war.

Alexander Mercouris, who does daily videos on the conflict. While he is a reactionary and surrounds himself with likeminded people, his daily update videos are relatively brainworm-free and good if you don't want to follow Russian telegram channels to get news. He also co-hosts The Duran, which is more explicitly conservative, racist, sexist, transphobic, anti-communist, etc when guests are invited on, but is just about tolerable when it's just the two of them if you want a little more analysis.

On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent and very good journalist reporting in the warzone on the separatists' side.

Unedited videos of Russian/Ukrainian press conferences and speeches.


Telegram Channels

Again, CW for anti-LGBT and racist, sexist, etc speech, as well as combat footage.

Pro-Russian

https://t.me/aleksandr_skif ~ DPR's former Defense Minister and Colonel in the DPR's forces. Russian language.

https://t.me/Slavyangrad ~ A few different pro-Russian people gather frequent content for this channel (~100 posts per day), some socialist, but all socially reactionary. If you can only tolerate using one Russian telegram channel, I would recommend this one.

https://t.me/s/levigodman ~ Does daily update posts.

https://t.me/patricklancasternewstoday ~ Patrick Lancaster's telegram channel.

https://t.me/gonzowarr ~ A big Russian commentator.

https://t.me/rybar ~ One of, if not the, biggest Russian telegram channels focussing on the war out there. Actually quite balanced, maybe even pessimistic about Russia. Produces interesting and useful maps.

https://t.me/epoddubny ~ Russian language.

https://t.me/boris_rozhin ~ Russian language.

https://t.me/mod_russia_en ~ Russian Ministry of Defense. Does daily, if rather bland updates on the number of Ukrainians killed, etc. The figures appear to be approximately accurate; if you want, reduce all numbers by 25% as a 'propaganda tax', if you don't believe them. Does not cover everything, for obvious reasons, and virtually never details Russian losses.

https://t.me/UkraineHumanRightsAbuses ~ Pro-Russian, documents abuses that Ukraine commits.

Pro-Ukraine

Almost every Western media outlet.

https://discord.gg/projectowl ~ Pro-Ukrainian OSINT Discord.

https://t.me/ice_inii ~ Alleged Ukrainian account with a rather cynical take on the entire thing.


Last week's discussion post.

I was arguing in a music thread at another site. The topic was tangentally the Gaza war. Out of the blue he wrote...

Remember those eeediots who painted the Ukrainian flag on their cheeks to show sympathy? I once questioned one of them and he responded by spitting on me. I lost my stibs and gave him a good beating. I had to pay a fine and I still have community work to do. That's what I get for putting the assholes in their place.

I replied with "Thank you for your service?" Nobody at that site even knows what CTH means so I wondered how he'd take it. I don't know but the argument ended. I think in the end - he didn't even want to argue. He just wanted to vent. But it's hard/impossible to know what's going on that at that site. Maybe he was drunk or very high when he wrote "I lost my stibs" so he meant "I lost my shit". I had to edit the entire quotation to make it easier to read but I left stibs in for color.

"Zealot" originally described a first century movement of Jewish religious radicalism against hostile, genocidal Roman forces. Religious Zealotry in the face of annihilation is as justified today as it was then. No equivocation, no excuses.

There are still Jews today, but the Romans have long since cannibalized themselves.

"It will be a bloodbath on a Biblical scale, jack. And I'm fine with that. I'm Joe Biden and I approve this carnage."

Hours after Israel ordered an exodus in Gaza, State Department officials circulated internal warnings against 3 phrases:

  • "de-escalation/ceasefire"
  • "end to violence/bloodshed"
  • "restoring calm"

It's the latest sign the US won't urge Israeli restraint

US eyes weapons stockpiles as concern grows about supporting both Ukraine and Israel’s wars

Concern is growing within the Pentagon over the potential need to stretch its increasingly scarce ammunition stockpiles to support Ukraine and Israel in two separate wars, according to multiple US defense officials.

At the moment Ukraine and Israel require different weapons: Ukraine wants massive amounts of artillery ammunition while Israel has requested precision guided aerial munitions and Iron Dome interceptors.

But if Israel launches a ground incursion into Gaza, the Israeli military will create a new and entirely unexpected demand for 155mm artillery ammunition and other weapons at a time when the US and its allies and partners have been stretched thin from more than 18 months of fighting in Ukraine.

One thing I will say is that the picture of the Aleppo bombing the runway shows exactly how deep you need to be thinking about when it comes to your guerilla tunnels.

That's runway too, not just plain dirt. If you want your tunnels to be airstrike safe you need to be thinking minimum of that depth and reinforced.

Believing that Hamas can do a genocide in Israel is in literal terms delusional or dishonest, a group thats at best funded in secret by countries already heavily dedicated to other causes and problems, is not going to be able to do a genocide against the country and people that is funded by literally the most powerful countries in the world, it just is not something that will happen, the US alone could probably send about a billion trillion planes and ships to evacuate the whole country, except the solution obviously will actually be for those planes and ships to completely destroy the whole people of palestine first instead.

It's like saying that Ukraine actually will do a pogrom in Moscow if they win the war with Russia, come on. The Viet Cong will drop bombs on Montgomery, Alabama, if they win the Vietnamese civil war.

It’s the same white settler anxiety that’s always existed. The untermensch savages are going to do to you what you did to them.

It’s Nazi ideology - the enemy will kill your precious white women and children and genocide you should you lose the war.

CNN showed a picture of the dead baby might be a reactionary source idk, CW for possible dead baby and it's not very convincing? I don't want to be callous, but the picture could be from literally anywhere and no one has verified anything. This propaganda war is so fucking slimy and CNN is just as complicit in racism against Muslims and also stoking antisemitism as any Fox News or OANN

At some point we need a way of collecting sources of disinformation and evidence to disprove it (as well as counters to the most common arguments). I'm sick of having to do the same work every time because another lib has a factually incorrect take.

There's so much smoke in the air tonight that when the bombs go off the whole sky flashes red. The bombing is 3-4km from the camera, I think, counting the delay between the flash and the sound.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0gX47baak0

God you can see the fireballs from km away. The bombs must be enormous.

The bombing is very frequent right now. A blast every few minutes, a big one. It wasn't like this last night or the night before. I don't know if that means anything, idk if the camera is even in the same part of Gaza. But the camera can see far more bombs falling tonight (in Gaza) than prior nights.
