Supreme Court weakens a landmark Civil Rights-era law and aids GOP efforts to control the House
In a 6-3 ruling, the court’s conservative majority found that Louisiana district represented by Democrat Cleo Fields relied too heavily on race. Chief Justice John Roberts had described the 6th Congressional District as a “snake” that stretches more than 200 miles (320 kilometers) to link parts of Shreveport, Alexandria, Lafayette and Baton Rouge. “That map is an unconstitutional gerrymander,” Justice Samuel Alito wrote for the six conservatives.

Maryland becomes first state to ban surveillance pricing in grocery stores
When engaging in surveillance pricing, stores rapidly change the cost of products based on consumer data, including their location, internet search history and demographics. That means buyers are paying different prices for the same items purchased around the same time. Critics of this method – also known as dynamic pricing – say that in doing so, businesses are effectively charging each person the most that they’re willing to pay.

International May Day Agitation
In preparation for the upcoming May Day, there have been multiple actions and calls internationally, we hereby share some of them. In Turkey, multiple agitation actions have been carried out. In Esenyurt and Okmeydanı, as well as in Şahintepe, Okmeydanı, Avcılar and areas along the Kadıköy-Gebze line, leaflets have been distributed, banners erected, graffiti painted and stickers put up, calling for the participation with Partizan in the May 1st demonstration in Taksim Square, Istanbul. Some of the slogans erected include: “On its 50th Anniversary, Taksim Belongs to the People, From Past to Future!” and “The Land is Ours, the Labor is Ours, the World Will Be Ours!”.

Shoplifting and class struggle
On the evening of 15 December 2025, just before 9:40 PM, a large group of people dressed as Santa Claus and his elves went into a supermarket in Montreal. They moved calmly through the supermarket aisles, filling their sacks with food. Within minutes they left taking thousands of dollars' worth of groceries, none of which was paid for. Santa and his masked elves then went to the Christmas tree in the central square. Underneath the twinkling lights, they laid out the stolen food and attached signs that read ‘Christmas is expensive, free food’. The remaining groceries were distributed to community fridges across Montreal. In a statement released afterwards, the group said they were responding to rising food prices and supermarket profiteering. ‘We work more and more just to be able to buy food from supermarket chains that are using inflation as a pretext to make record profits’, the statement read. ‘A handful of companies are holding our basic needs hostage…. For us, that is theft.’ The Santa Claus stunt in Montreal comes at a moment when shoplifting is once again a central political talking point in the UK. In recent years, shoplifting has skyrocketed.

>Israel-Palestine has nothing to do with race.

it quite obviously has a huge amount to do with race, just maybe not exactly as americans understand race

>>2795394
>Israel-Palestine is fundamentally about nationality AKA competing nationalisms

ok, why are arab-israelis still treated like dogshit even if they have citizenship? they literally aren't allowed to marry a jew

>>2795394
Psued take. Palestinians/arabs are absolutely racialized by israel.

>>2796704
Because of competing nationalisms. Palestinians are not a race and Jews are not a race. Israeli marriage laws are actually based on Ottoman marriage laws.

>>2796701
>>2796706
Most Israeli Jews are the same colour as most Palestinians. This conflict is mostly brown-on-brown violence.

They were already running ads like vidrel for asbestos before and after 9/11, the market was already prepared to make a profit off of asbestos victims

DISCLAIMER: I hate AmeriKKKa to an insane extent
I don't think this is that accurate given that most who died probably supported US imperialism and deserved it. I do not, however, see 9/11 as a positive event because it also killed many innocent people.

>decisions have to be planned by rationality and reason not by popularity.
Humans are not rational agents. And indeed, society is such a large organism that it is impossible for society to collectively plan production without competing interests existing. We've seen the 20th century play out, we know a rationally planned economy is not possible.
I think it would be better for producers and consumers to work out their interests and plan locally according to their needs, but I don't think a planned, centralized communist society is possible.

>>2796793
>we know a rationally planned economy is not possible.
only if the richest half of the world refuses to have a revolution for some reason

>>2796793
we're already under a planned economy if you look at how huge business functions,it's just built for profit

>>2796793
>I think it would be better for producers and consumers to work out their interests and plan locally according to their needs
That's basically what I wrote though, you just don't want to say it should function rationally because some people won't be rational but that's expected, nobody is pushing idealism to say all humans are rational. But humans should strive to make rational decisions.

>>2796954
Also Fichte already answered the question of contradiction of interests, its compromise or conflict.

The economy is only limited by the division of labour. If you allow for more specialised labour to flourish, it is harder to control.

>>2796739
You put an ultimatum on something that hasn't even been structured for an attempt, planned production isn't impossible, you fell for the same bullshit premise as "economic miscalculation problem".

nobody thinks its real. another psyop

Wagner are extremly incompetent and failing to beat the Jihadis, the Jihadis were helped by Ukraine for a bit, but most of their support is local, they're winning because Mali and Wagner is corrupt.

Mali is withdrawing from some key cities, the end of this war is probably a de facto independant islamic state in Northern Mali, don't think they'll be able to take the rest of the country.

>Wagner are extremly incompetent and failing to beat the Jihadis, the Jihadis were helped by Ukraine for a bit, but most of their support is local, they're winning because Mali and Wagner is corrupt.
wagner (actually its called africa corps now) is mostly light infantry, the problem isnt that they're incompetent or corrupt (although they likely are, given they're mercenaries fucks), the problem is they dont have much heavy equipment or air support and arent many (and the most skilled guys prolly were kept in russia for the war). They're a small support force mostly there to help with shit like training or radio jamming
And I suspect france is helping the jihadist too. Just after france was kicked out mali had managed to retake kidal, a feat french military never helped with, and now they're becoming stronger and striking back and there were report of ukrainians helping them out, so its safe to assume the west empire is backing them as retaliation for the sahel states giving them the boot and nationalizing shit.

>the end of this war is probably a de facto independant islamic state in Northern Mali
thats the situation since more than a decade at this point

Suriyak got some intel from Wagner: sadly the Malian gouv strategy seems to be like Assadist Syria, with "repositioning and defense" to protect the main centers of power and leaving the rest of the country to rebels

feds just take tips from myths at this point, lefty pol's servers are almost ready to get raided because of Houdini

We know what goes on in these ideological enclaves. Too bad the feds are there for money instead of protecting kids (surprise surprise.)

The law can't explicitly give the bourgeoisie amnesty from crimes. Often the laws are written so that in practice they're exempt, but in this case making it so that porky can't get busted simply for being on Epstein's Island "looking for a wild party" also means that fully grown adults trying to meet kids IRL is hard to convict.

>>2796476
Because it's mostly online chats with a decay, not like them actually fucking kids, and if you see what most of them look like no teen or even adult would be fucking them willingly, hence the desperation to fall for the bait.
