Yemen’s Houthis damage oil tanker, shoot down US drone
Yemen’s Houthis have damaged an oil tanker and downed another MQ-9 Reaper drone of the United States as they promise more attacks in opposition to Israel’s war on Gaza. The Iran-aligned group’s military spokesman, Yahya Saree, said in his latest televised video address early on Saturday that “British oil ship Andromeda Star” was targeted in the Red Sea with naval missiles and was directly hit.

Daimler Truck reaches deal with United Auto Workers, averts U.S. strike
Under Friday’s deal, Daimler Truck workers will receive a minimum 25% general wage increase over the four-year contract, Fain said. That would match what workers at the Detroit Three received. When the deal is ratified, Fain said members will receive an immediate 10% pay raise, followed by 3% increases six months and 12 months later. They also will receive cost-of-living adjustments to offset inflation and profit-sharing, both for the first time at Daimler Truck, as well as the end of wage tiers that paid those building buses less than those building heavy trucks, he said.

Interview with TKP-ML Central Committee Political Bureau Member: “Our Party Will Continue Its War Against Fascism With Determination In Its 53rd Year Of Struggle”
– Founded on April 24, 1972, your party is leaving behind its 52nd year of struggle. On this occasion, we would like to interview you on behalf of your party. Before moving on to my questions, what would you like to say about this first? – Yes, it is easy to say that we have left behind half a century of struggle. Although this is a short period of time in terms of the struggle of societies and classes, it is also a very long period of time. We respectfully bow to the lives and memories of all our comrades, especially İbrahim Kaypakkaya, the founding leader of our party, Ali Haydar Yıldız, the first immortal of our people’s army, and Meral Yakar, the first immortal of our communist women’s organization, who became stars in these 52 years. I would also like to express our feelings of gratitude for the efforts of hundreds and thousands of our comrades who have been veterans, imprisoned and tortured in this costly struggle of more than half a century. We salute the militants of our party, our people’s army, our communist women’s organization and our komsomol who are currently in struggle, especially in the geography of Turkey, who are imprisoned in prisons and resist against the torture of isolation and torture, and who are in all areas of struggle in the Middle East and Western Europe, and we celebrate their 53rd year of struggle. And we thank you for giving us this opportunity.

China highlights extremism threat, pledges deeper military ties with Kazakhstan
Since 2021, when the Taliban returned to power in Kabul, Beijing has repeatedly warned against a revival of terrorist forces in the region. In a 2023 position paper on the Afghanistan situation, China warned that the “three forces” still posed a “major security threat to the region and the world”.

In huge police raids, Australian teenagers arrested on vague “terrorism” charges
The raids—the largest for a decade—were conducted despite police admitting there was no evidence of any specific plans, locations, times or targets for a terrorist act. Instead, Australian Federal Police (AFP) Deputy Commissioner Krissy Barrett said investigations had revealed a “network” of people who share a “similar violent extremist ideology.” This common “ideology” was not named, but clearly the accusation was directed at identification with Islamic belief.

FCC votes to bring back Obama-era 'net neutrality' rules that were repealed under Trump
The vote means that broadband services will be treated as Title II telecommunications services, a category of federal law that originally referred to phone networks to ensure they were nondiscriminatory. It makes the internet closer to an essential service, like power or water. “Broadband access to the Internet is a critical conduit that is essential for modern life,” Anna Gomez, a Democratic appointee to the commission, said in a statement.

The truth behind Labour’s plans to ‘renationalise’ rail
LABOUR’S plans to renationalise the rail firms by taking over the train operating companies (TOCs) as their contracts come to an end is a big deal. These are privately run but very heavily publicly subsidised companies that want to pump cash out of the government and passengers and then pump it into their investors’ hands. They are so keen to get the cash that they are rubbish at running the railways. Renationalising them is a good idea. But if you want to know how some rail privatisation will continue even after Labour’s plans — and how it will continue to squeeze private cash out of public services, it’s worth having a look at the annual accounts of Eversholt UK Rails Ltd, which were published to zero media interest at the end of last month. The newspapers weren’t interested in the company’s accounts, even though they showed the movement of millions of pounds from the taxpayer to a Hong Kong billionaire’s company. Passengers also won’t generally know Eversholt even exists, which is part of the trick of privatisation.

Iranians decry 'double standard' after Khamenei's favourite cleric 'insults' Prophet Muhammad
In Iran, making derogatory remarks about Prophet Muhammad would usually earn people up to five years in prison. However, when a favourite cleric of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was accused of committing the same offence early this month, it was met with a notable silence by the establishment. The lack of official rebuke did not go unnoticed by outraged Iranians who were quick to point to the double standard that has allowed influential ultra-conservative cleric Alireza Panahian to go unpunished.

Any additional hours were to be considered overtime.

We Will Not Forget or Forgive the Armenian Genocide! — Martyr Nubar Ozanyan Brigade
109 years ago, the hands of the Ottoman Turanists, ‘Union and Progress‘, were stained with the blood of the Armenian people, and today we see that Turkish fascism, the heir of the Ottoman Empire, is following the same policy and following in the footsteps of the Ottomans in terms of hostility to all peoples in the region. not content with the extermination of the Armenians in 1915, they committed thousands of crimes against the Kurdish, Arab, Assyrian and Assyrian peoples. Turkey‘s occupation of many areas in Northern and Eastern Syria such as Serekaniyeh, Afrin, Tal Abyad and displacing the population shows the extent of the criminality and brutality of this cruel regime, and Turkish fascism does not stop at this point, but attacks every day to target safe areas and terrorize them in order to displace the population. We must not lose sight of how Turkish fascism supported, financed and assisted the Azerbaijani state in its war against the Armenians of Artsakh, that it was the same people who killed the Armenian people in 1915 and the same people who killed the people of Artsakh in 2023, and that it is the same people who today occupy a large part of the territory of Northern and Eastern Syria and displaced its people, Arabs, Kurds, Armenians, Assyrians and Assyrians. Destruction is destruction, killing and displacement is destruction; maybe the time or the place changes, but the events are the same. What is being done today to the Palestinian people in terms of killing and deportation, and what is being done to the peoples of North-East Syria, the Armenian people in the mountains of Kurdistan and Artsakh; it is the same as what happened 109 years ago to the Armenian people.

Eight-minute excerpt from:

JASON SKEET (UK)
In search of the constructivist moment: from Russian Futurism to South London Speedcore (via 1975)"It's not freedom that I want but a way out!" So proclaimed the ape in Kafka's short story 'A Report to the Academy'. This talk takes this ape's proclamation as a reference point for the construction of a map that could be used to locate potential points of escape. The first part of this talk identifies what exactly it is that we may be seeking to escape from. We will then embark on an exploration of a series of problems, some of which may involve us asking: what is the meaning of Mayakovsky's "our''? what is a sonic community? and how exactly did the world change in 1975? Jason Skeet is currently completing a book about contemporary poetry. In the last years of the previous century he was involved in the Association of Autonomous Astronauts (AAA) and this talk may, or may not, build on a certain number of exit strategies previously put forward by the AAA.

In the war against China, the US has chosen India to be the big pawn, as traditional US “allies” like Japan, South Korea, Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia have all signaled that they don’t want to be a part of WW3. To give credit to the US, they have been planning on recruiting India for a long time. Let’s expound on this more …
First, one must understand the Faustian bargain that India made with the US. America opened up its job market for Indians, and India opened up its entire economy for the US! And the USA wins in both sides of the deal. Get the brightest workers from India; and in return get two things: (1) access to 1.3 billion consumers, and (2) a geopolitical puppet state.
Democracy and Free Market are propaganda slogans. Why hasn’t the US tried to spread democracy in Saudi Arabia? No, that would be very dangerous — what if a populist Saudi guy gets elected and kicks out the US military base and starts selling oil in Yuan? That would be the end of USA’s global hegemony.
Throughout the Cold War history, the US supported and installed dozens of dictators and mass murderers all over the world — in Cambodia, Indonesia, South Korea, Taiwan, all over Latin America, Middle East, Africa etc. Currently, the US funds and arms about 70% of all non-democratic governments around the world. Just last year, when the socialist leader of Bolivia won the election, the US instigated a military coup and overthrew the winner. In the 1970s, the US even staged a coup in Australia and overthrew the popular Prime Minister who wasn’t very pro-US. Here is the general idea: “You can choose anyone democratically, as long as he is pro-USA.”
Thus, India shouldn’t fall for the propaganda for “like-minded democratic nations” getting together to contain China.
And “free market” was great until China started to win. Now the US likes protectionism and hates WTO, which the US created! When Walmart buys FlipKart — India’s successful e-commerce startup — that’s cheered on as free market. But do you think the US would have allowed FlipKart to buy Walmart? Of course, not.

So, let me point out that I’m scheduled to help kids practice English, and I’ve been looking for ways to discourage them from emigrating.

One of the interesting things I’ve discovered is that the ratio of average wages between China and the United States is only 3.6, with the average worker receiving 16575 or so USD per year. Factor in cost of living differences (PPP), and the ratio is only 2. Then consider that first tier cities in China often have a GDP per capita twice that of the national average, and guess what? You can live in China, work in China, and enjoy a material lifestyle that is 67-100% that of the United States, all the while touching, as others have asked me to, good, Socialist grass.

That is, of course, assuming you have high-end skills you can be paid for in Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing, Hangzhou, or Wuxi.

So, let me show off what Beijing is like. This, I think, is from the Wangfujing shopping district near Tiananmen.

More Shanghai. On ground level, the place feels like a procedurally-generated AI city, with roughly uniform development levels. The bourse is only about 1/3rd the size of NYC’s.

Shanghai essentially comes down to: every part of Shanghai is downtown. Except for the actual downtown, which is Blade Runner.
