Reclaiming Uyghur Agency Through Artistic Practices: A Conversation with Mukaddas Mijit. The World of Music [New Series], Issue 15(1), 2026. wom-journal.org/wom/article/...

US elites living off their conquests, wouldn't have nasty, brutish and short lives? That's for little people, no? But you are right they're taking us back to the pre-UN, 19th c "Might is Right." There's a deep US tradition of contempt for international law, "might-is-our-right." Rubio builds on it:

...

Our FM says China's liar-in-chief told her Gui Minhai is alive. No proof but if true, that's the first comment they deigned making after telling us for 8 years to shut up. If true, when will @mariamstenergard.bsky.social visit him? When is he coming home to Sweden? www.svt.se/nyheter/utri...

I think many people laughing also don't understand that Thiel & Co are effectively turning the US into a China: total surveillance=total targeting to crush dissent. China's regime is brutal but it really runs on cowing people into pre-obedience, so that they "know what not to know"(=like MAGA now):

Another example: A Chinese painting glorifying the empire's 1750s mass extermination of the Dzungarian Mongol people as part of the conquest of what they now call Xinjiang, "New Conquest" This genocide was recently praised by China's current leader, as "good for the unity of the country"[=empire]

Someone should write about how Chinese colonial-imperialist art has been doing the same all along. Where are the exhibits, articles, exposing Chinese imperialism? Here is an example: 18th century painting glorifying imperial Chinese troops massacring the Miao resistance.

The Machine also recently picked up the verb "vibe" -- now used for foreign "influencers" recruited "from 14 countries" to help them patch over China's genocide on the Uyghurs: 'Xinjiang Vibes' kicks off, bringing the real Xinjiang to the world. CGTN, 19-May-2026. news.cgtn.com/news/2026-05...

Golden video stuff from an Asia Society pro-Beijing event in NYC a couple days ago: A decent guy from China stands up to the pro-dictator KMT! Other meek audience members hunker down cowardly...

Very good from Engin Eroglu, MEP & Chair of the European Parliament China Delegation, on China's atricious fake "ethnic unity" which violates international law. All European, American & other ultranationalists, pay attention. Or are you just the *same* as the genocidal Chinese Communist Party?

Oh look: China's @volvocars.bsky.social deploys the slick propaganda officer Hu Xijin in new ad campaign. So, Volvo now shares the burden of the genocide. Also reminds us of all the GT lies spread by Hu Xijin against Sweden, over China's kidnapping of our citizen #GuiMinhai. Never drive a Volvo

Yes!!!! but will it hold? www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

I am hearing about a cyberattack on the new uyghurpost.com , being flooded with disturbance. Probably a Chinese state attack.

@NRK och andra norska media måste fråga Børge Brende vad han egentligen menade när han och Epstein talade om hur Davos skulle ersätta FN och sedan hålla på med "genetics"(!!!). Finns det inga journalister som ställer de frågorna?

How to dupe people: Chinese Party propaganda officer Li Jingjing recycling "Lucifer," a figure specialized in duping people online, then publishing it to dupe some more. Here, he tricked a nameless Native American guy. On Lucifer, and similar psy-op agents, see my analysis: u.osu.edu/mclc/2025/07...

Excellent on Noam Chomsky, from Huey Li: www.facebook.com/reel/2271115...

Fresh cartoon in @the-independent.com explains what is going on now, including the weird insults to NATO allies who lost soldiers in Afghanistan. It's Putin's mission, and the vision of Putin's boss Xi Jinping: To destroy NATO, the UN, & Europe

"Vad våldet må skapa är vanskligt och kort, det dör som en stormvind i öknen bort" Trans.: "What violence may create is feeble and shortlived, it fades like a gust of wind in the desert." Esaias Tegnér's famous poem, "Det eviga" (1810) [The Eternal]

By now, we are all sick of stupid, aren't we. Senator Tillis appropriate words on Greenland today www.facebook.com/watch/?v=895...

Self-delusion while ruining America's reputation and global name? Hmm. Wonder how much of it goes back to the last round of crazed tech bros, the 1930s-40s Technate that included Musks' grandpa?

They are all wrong. Mearsheimer is a foot soldier. Many of those scholars are marinating in the crazy wrong idea that states think and act. Fundamental flaw. Such as, this garbage:

Goodwill... from Putin ...

They also hit a home run on Trump's China policy.

Today attended a rally for Guan Heng outside the prison where he is held, in Binghamton, New York. We stood in the snow, and listened to a court hearing online via speaker from 830am. Thankfully the judge did NOT go along with any immediate deportation but instead 1/2

The now deleted death threat tweet by China's consul sent in response to PM Takahashi's stmnt about the existential threat from a Chn war against Taiwan. Consul said sth like: “We have no choice but to cut off that dirty head that wantonly charged in without a moment's hesitation. Are y'all ready?”

I have only seen polite paraphrasings so far, but what the consul said seems akin to what that famous Queen shouted to Alice: 'Off with her head'!

Also delighted that our Swedish MEPs delegates are united on this demand to China. Left, right, center don't matter here. We all demand China release our citizen #GuiMinhai. It has been ten years. That's ten years too much. Do it now! #freeguiminhai
