So Russia is mad because after a massive attack on Ukraine, Ukraine hit Belgorod (a Russian city near the border), and now Russia is demanding a UN meeting.

So.

With everything going on in Israel aside, Russia just did a massive attack on Ukraine.

And in retaliation. Ukraine attacked Belgorod. After missiles shot at every major city in Ukraine.

And Russia is furious.

Russia is blaming Britain, blaming NATO for providing the ammunition, blaming the Czech Republic.

So

What does this mean?

Likely, a United Nations meeting will take place, and Russia will rant and rave and stomp their feet because after literally invading Ukraine… they got the equivalent of the slap on the hand. Not to say that there wasn’t a loss of life; real living people have died, and their families will miss them greatly.

But Russia may very well use this to make a threat. Or to justify some new escalation. As if the Russians haven’t raped, beaten, and killed countless Ukrainians.

But blaming Britain, threatening Britain, is nothing new for Russia. It’s a step down from threatening the US. A simple google search of “Russia threatens Britain”? September 5, 2023; August 3, 2023; March 22, 2023. This isn’t new. But it certainly seems to have Ireland on edge.

Czech Republic Freedom and Democracy Day 2023 Date: November 17, 2023 Today’s Doodle celebrates Freedom and Democracy Day in the Czech Republic! On this day in 1939, Czechoslovakian students had thousands of people joining their protest against Nazi occupation.  50 years later, students led a memorial march against communism, giving the Czech people another reason to treasure this day. It spurred a series of protests known as the Velvet Revolution across Czechoslovakia and marked the start of the nation’s transition to a democracy. This date is also International Students Day because they played a pivotal role in achieving freedom. Across the country, people will wave flags like the one in today’s Doodle and wear the nation’s colors of blue, white, and red. Some attend speeches about the meaning of freedom and patriotic concerts, like the Concert for the Future. Memorials that honor those who championed government reform are bustling with people laying wreaths or lighting candles in appreciation of those peaceful protesters. Happy Freedom and National Day, Czech Republic! Location: Czechia Tags: @GoggleDoddle is only here on [tumblr]! #GoggleDoddle goggledoddle.[tumblr].com

Lyrics:

I'm holding on your rope

Got me ten feet off the ground

And I'm hearing what you say

But I just can't make a sound

You tell me that you need me

Then you go and cut me down, but wait

You tell me that you're sorry

Didn't think I'd turn around and say

That it's too late to apologize, it's too late

I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late

Too late, oh

I'd take another chance, take a fall

Take a shot for you

And I need you like a heart needs a beat

But it's nothing new, yeah yeah

I loved you with a fire red, now it's turning blue

And you say sorry like the angel

Heaven let me think it was you

But I'm afraid

It's too late to apologize, it's too late

I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late, whoa

It's too late to apologize, it's too late

I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late

I said it's too late to apologize, yeah, too late

I said it's too late to apologize, yeah, too late

Songwriter: Ryan Tedder

I'm holding on your rope

Got me ten feet off the ground

The Cranberries - Zombie 1994

"Zombie" is a protest song by Irish alternative rockband the Cranberries. It was written by the lead singer, Dolores O'Riordan, about the young victims of a bombing in Warrington, England, during the Troubles in Northern Ireland. The song was released on 19 September 1994 as the lead single from the Cranberries' second studio album, No Need to Argue. While the record label feared releasing a too controversial and politically charged song as a single, "Zombie" reached number 1 on the charts of Australia, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, and Iceland, and spent nine consecutive weeks at number 1 on the French SNEP Top 100. It reached number 2 on the Ö3 Austria Top 40, where it stayed for eight weeks. The song did not chart on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart as it wasn't released as a single there, but it reached number 1 on the US Billboard Alternative Airplay chart. Listeners of the Australian radio station Triple J voted it number 1 on the 1994 Triple J Hottest 100 chart, and it won the Best Song Award at the 1995 MTV Europe Music Awards.

The Troubles were a conflict in Northern Ireland from the late 1960s to 1998. The Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA), an Irish republican paramilitary organisation, waged an armed campaign to end British rule in Northern Ireland and unite the region with the Republic of Ireland. Republican and Unionist paramilitaries killed more than 3,500 people, many from thousands of bomb attacks. One of the bombings happened on 30 March 1993, as two IRA improvised explosive devices hidden in litter bins were detonated in a shopping street in Warrington, England. Two people; Johnathan Ball, aged 3, and Tim Parry, aged 12, were killed in the attack. 56 people were injured. Ball died at the scene of the bombing as a result of his shrapnel-inflicted injuries, and five days later, Parry lost his life in a hospital as a result of head injuries. O'Riordan decided to write a song that reflected upon the event and the children's deaths after visiting the town: "We were on a tour bus and I was near the location where it happened, so it really struck me hard – I remember being devastated about the innocent children being pulled into that kind of thing. So I suppose that's why I was saying, 'It's not me' – that even though I'm Irish it wasn't me, I didn't do it. Because being Irish, it was quite hard, especially in the UK when there was so much tension." The song was re-popularised in 2023 after it was played after Ireland games at the 2023 Rugby World Cup. It was picked up by fans of the Irish team, with videos of fans singing the song in chorus accumulating hundreds of thousands of views on social media. This offended other Irishmen, who identified it as an "anti-IRA" anthem, and said that that the lyrics failed to consider their experience during the Troubles.

The music video, directed by Samuel Bayer, was filmed in Belfast, Northern Ireland, in the heart of the Troubles with real footage, and in Dublin. To record video footage of murals, children and British Army soldiers on patrol, he had a false pretext, with a cover story about making a documentary about the peace-keeping efforts in Ireland. Bayer stated that a shot in the video where an SA80 rifle is pointed directly at the camera is a suspicious British soldier asking him to leave, and that the IRA were keeping a close look at the shoot, given "the British Army come in with fake film crews, getting people on camera.” While "Zombie" received heavy rotation on MTV Europe and was A-listed on Germany's VIVA, the music video was banned by the BBC because of its "violent images", and by the RTÉ, Ireland's national broadcaster. Instead, both the BBC and the RTÉ opted to broadcast an edited version focusing on footage of the band in a live performance, a version that the Cranberries essentially disowned. Despite their efforts to maintain the original video "out of view from the public", some of the initial footage prevailed, with scenes of children holding guns. In March 2003, on the eve of the outbreak of the Iraq War, the British Government and the Independent Television Commission issued a statement saying ITC's Programme Code would temporarily remove from broadcast songs and music videos featuring "sensitive material", including "Zombie". Numerous media groups complied with the decision to avoid "offending public feeling", along with MTV Europe. Since it violated the ITC guidelines, "Zombie" was placed on a blacklist of songs, targeting its official music video. The censorship was lifted once the war had ended. In April 2020, it became the first song by an Irish group to surpass one billion views on Youtube.

"Zombie" received a total of 91% yes votes!

Posted @withregram �� @knowyourcaribbean This viral video shared by @tracecaribbean in Martinique is one of the most beautiful examples of how Carnival in the Caribbean was designed for colonial disruption.

What you are looking at is Nèg Gwo Siwo, a Carnival practice performed for almost 2 centuries by enslaved people and their descendants. While Europeans in the Caribbean had pretty masquerade balls before Lent, black people covered themselves in dark molasses to amplify the blackness of their skin. They called them the Molasses Negroes. Using something seen as valuable and expensive for the white man’s profit, to smear across their skin to make themselves the blackest version of their blackness. Look at the irony.

So this video you see today in 2023 is generations upon generations of a legacy of resistance, where whether we know it or not, we have this in our blood.

And this is why you must make room for the Nèg Gwo Siwo of Guadeloupe and Martinique.

And yes you can find many versions of this in the Caribbean - Jab Jab of Grenada, Lans Kod of Haiti, Jab Molassie of T&T, Los Tiznaos of Dominican Republic, Nèg Marron of French Guiana… the list goes on. These days most use charcoal or oil motor oil, but the intention is the same - BLACK.
