Twitter is censoring reporting on Ukrainian Nazis on the pretext of “abusive behavior”
Please be careful and aware of what’s going on in the West re: censorship of anti-imperialist narratives rn y’all. It’s scary but we look away at our own peril. Accounts and perspectives that do not follow the US-NATO line are being targeted. Please tell your people and challenge this shit, challenge war and strive for peace. xo

Evo Morales launches global campaign to “eliminate” NATO
“NATO is a danger to world peace, to security, so we are in the task of how to reach agreements with social movements, not only in Latin America, but in all continents, to eliminate it. If nothing is done against NATO, it will become a permanent threat to humanity.”

Who Is Zilo Groove?
I became aware of the music of Zilo Groove in one of the most inauspicious places in the world: my twitter mentions. The message promoting his music looked like spam; indeed, it appears he had been spamming various twitter accounts to promote his albums.
Phishing scam or guerrilla marketing? There was only one way to find out. I bless my stars that I decided to click. I was introduced to “Afro Sal-Soul,” a musical genre that Zilo Groove claims to have created, combining “hip-hop, African music, Afrobeat, salsa, jazz, dance and electronic music.”
You would be within your rights to be skeptical, but the music speaks for itself. The “I Love My African” music video reflects Zilo’s musical roots in both Douala, Cameroon and New York City, USA. You either love or hate the DIY spirit that Zilo exudes.
My favorite track by Zilo Groove is probably Venez Danser, a groovy and emotional number.
Finally, there are his more experimental/electronic albums. House and Techno Scrolls has a track called “Fidel Castro Techno Blues” which, going on just the title alone, is amazing. Also worth mentioning is the album Just Horns, Bass, and Drums which is true to its name. The opening track to that album is a spacey tune called “Pregnant in Red,” also an amazing title.
As I’m writing this little review, I’m realizing that I’ve listened to a lot of these albums now! Zilo Groove’s music is not for everyone, as he can be a little goofy at times and the production feels spotty. Despite that, there is a buoyancy and real musical talent that keeps me coming back to these songs. Perhaps you will enjoy this under-rated (or not rated at all) artist and his message of love and grooviness.

President Maduro Alerts That War Could Extend Throughout the World
“We have to express that we are gravely concerned about the possibility of a war in Europe and an extension of this armed confrontation to other regions of the world.”
A Proposed Solution to the Ukraine War
“The U.S. does not want peace, unless it be the peace of a conquered Russia. That is why there is no obvious end to the escalations and counter-escalations. The U.S. and NATO see opportunity in the war they have been trying so hard to provoke.”
