    Cuban wrestler Mijaín López wins his 5th gold in his 5th Olympics, first in Beijing in 2008. “I have to thank our Commander in Chief (Fidel Castro) and the Cuban Revolution for this result” 🇨🇺
    🌟🗣️ «Tengo que agradecer este resultado a nuestro Comandante en Jefe (Fidel Castro) y a la Revolución Cubana» 🇨🇺 En Tokio, Mijaín López, habló clarito. Su éxito, no es solo del "talento individual", sino resultado de un proyecto socialista que garantiza el deporte para todos.

    Today, 85 years ago began the #NanjingMassacre. In 7 weeks, the Japanese army raped, mutilated, and murdered 300,000 unarmed soldiers, women, children. They are part of the 35 million Chinese deaths and casualties in the resistance to fascism — the lesser-told part of “WWII”

    Fidel Castro aptly called the OAS the ‘Yankee Ministry of Colonies and a military bloc against the peoples of Latin America.’ Some things don’t change.
    A @pslweb activist disrupts OAS chief Luis Almagro at a Summit of the Americas event, calling out his role in the 2019 Bolivia coup. The coup overturned the victory of the elected socialist president Evo Morales and inaugurated a right-wing reign of terror that left scores dead.

    Day 13 in hotel quarantine. Never saw Shanghai, a city of 25 million, so quiet. Hear the church bells reverberate.

    <Thoughts on cultural imperialism> So I watched “Lioness”, the second season that got 12M+ views globally in a month. Impressive (not really) how the cultural arm of imperialism works hand-in-hand with its military ambitions. Of course, the US doesn’t make propaganda, only

    2020: China surpasses US in number of papers. 2021: China surpasses US in top 10% of most-cited papers. 2022: China surpasses US in top 1% of most-cited papers. 70 years ago, China couldn't produce a car.
    China overtakes the US to become the global leader in the number of most-cited scientific papers. Among the 1% of most-cited papers in the world, 27.2% are Chinese and 24.9% are from the US. 🧵 1/2

    🇨🇺120 years ago today, Cuban painter #WifredoLam (1902-1982) was born. His Cantonese father did calligraphy, inspired by Confucian/Daoist traditions, mother was a Congolese descendant, and godmother, an Afro-Cuban priestess. You can say he was made in and of the Third World.🧵1/7
