From Bloomberg 🇺🇸 The United States Department of State’s annual human rights report called out Brazil 🇧🇷 and South Africa 🇿🇦 while scaling back criticism of Israel 🇮🇱 and El Salvador 🇸🇻, shifting its account of other nations’ abuses to align with President Donald Trump’s priorities.
The report, which is meant to serve as a record of other nations’ rights abuses, criticized South Africa for what it said was a “significantly worsened” situation in 2024 and cited steps toward “land expropriation of Afrikaners and further abuses against racial minorities in the country.”
It also said the human rights situation in Brazil “declined during the year.” Brazil “undermined democratic debate” by limiting access to on-line content that it deemed to “‘undermine democracy,’ disproportionately suppressing the speech of supporters of former president Jair Bolsonaro,” it said.

"remember as you say punch nazis, wwii resistance heroes also smuggled and hid refugees, deleted refugee data, lied to cops, broke the law
hid art. made graffitti. smuggled out kids, hid people, preserved knowledge, and kept the truth out of the lies
not everyone is built to be a fighter. and thats okay. a war isnt won by the infantry alone. we need support in this trying time as the great beast called fascism rises. dont tolerate intolerance. stay angry. stay together. stay smart."

The Liberal-to-Ultraleft Pipeline: Breaking the Cycle
Recent critiques levied at DSA peddle in an aesthetic-radicalism that risks distracting the working-class from organizing itself into a disciplined political force.

It is funny to use the term ultraleftist in 2021 when thinking back on what it meant historically. To the Bolsheviks, an ultraleftist was typically someone that wanted to do a bombing or assassination campaign. In the contemporary US left, this phrase refers broadly to the amalgamation of anti-capitalists whose entire ideological motivation and self-conception is that they are “to the left” of XYZ, typically DSA. While there are organizations that participate in this sort of branding, it is most commonly done on an individual level. We can disagree on whether ultraleftist is a helpful term, seeing as it is best defined by an “I know it when I see it” approach, but I think the noscript applies to enough of a grouping that it is worthwhile. Terminally online, constantly accusing others of being sheepdogs or sellouts, and rarely working with others to expand the socialist movement through mass action are some of their calling cards. Their actions speak to wanting to be King of the Smallest Kingdom.
