On #TDIH in 1969, student strikes swept California in protest of the war in Vietnam. At CSU Northridge in Los Angeles, anti-war students attempted to occupy an admin building. In San Jose, teachers joined striking students opposed to the war. Keep fighting, keep striking!

After the assassination of Melissa Hortman it’s not hard to understand why a woman in Minnesota would be afraid of a man in a mask who says he’s a cop.

“There is only one plot—things are not what they seem.” - Jim Thompson

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot. It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

The dominant culture of the world teaches us that The Other is a threat, that our fellow human beings are a danger. We will all continue to be exiles in one form or another as long as we continue to accept the paradigm that the world is a racetrack or a battlefield. – Eduardo Galeano

Their big talking point is “We are the good guys,” because they know we’re not.

BBC journalists have been banned from describing the kidnapped Venezuelan leader as having been kidnapped. The BBC News Editor has sent this to BBC journalists.

FBI soliciting tips about "organizations that pose a major threat to our society." This is likely another NSPM-7 action

Well this is awkward 😬

⭕️ Axios reports that the CIA played a central role in enabling the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, with U.S. intelligence officials saying a small CIA team was clandestinely deployed on the ground starting in August. According to a source, the team mapped Maduro’s “pattern of...

Whatever is in the Epstein files on Trump must be pretty horrendous.

A few observations following the U.S. strike on Venezuela and capture of Maduro. 1) Hopefully, this improves the lives of ordinary Venezuelans, but I'm very skeptical. There's no serious plan for dealing with the Venezuelan economy or security forces. www.cnn.com/venezuela-ma...

Blows my mind that some of the same journalists who see Trump as a want-to-be dictator at home are earnestly discussing the "challenges" for this same man to "bring democracy" to a country it just illegal invaded. Please grow up.

The indictment against Maduro is about cocaine. If we had an honest White House Press Corps, every press interview Trump did would start with why he pardoned a narco terrorist president who imported 400 tons of cocaine into the United States.

Every liberal rn: “Maduro is a brutal tyrant and it's good he's gone. But, we just wanted a process and a chance to vote for it”

No amount of law and process is going to deter Trump from doing whatever he wants.

Dick Cheney must be jealous as hell from hell right now.

Just remember this is for oil and US hegemony in Latin America, not over drugs. He pardoned an actual head of state drug trafficker last month and partners with other traffickers in other parts of the region.

The 105th anniversary of the Palmer Raids is an ominous reminder as Trump’s Dept. of Justice issues the “Bondi Memo” re-prioritizing DoJ resources to go after anticapitalists, antifascists and leftists. Here’s a clip from our recent interview with journalist Adam Federman about the Bondi Memo:

Why is he taking so many cognitive tests?

On #tdih in 1920, the Dept. of Justice launched a series of attacks against leftists & labor organizers, known as the “Palmer Raids,” arresting more than 3,000. Ominous anniversary w/ the recent release of the Bondi Memo directing the feds to prioritize antifascists & leftists.

Happy Zapatismo Day! On #tdih in 1994, the same day that NAFTA took effect, the Zapatista Army of National Liberation, aka the “Zapatistas,” declared war on the Mexican state, demanding "work, land, housing, food, health, education, independence, liberty, democracy, justice and peace." ❤️🖤

On #tdih in 1959, Cuban dictator Fulgencio Bautista fled the country after the victory of Fidel Castro’s 26th of July movement at the battle of Santa Clara. In the following days, revolutionary forces entered Havana with no resistance, and established a provisional government.

Julie K. Brown is a reporter for the Miami Herald who did groundbreaking work on Epstein beginning in 2018, including groundbreaking work on the disgusting coverup by Alex Acosta. Her travel itinerary was released with some of the Epstein files. It appears the DOJ was monitoring her in 2019.
