The visual embodiment of colonialism: US-funded occupation forces of the Israeli apartheid regime attacking family members of Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh as they carry a casket with her body in a funeral procession, after those same colonialists shot her in the head

They shot Shereen in the head as she reported and blamed Palestinians for her murder minutes later, the next day they raided her home and assaulted her mourning family, the next day they beat and attacked those carrying her body. A truly sickening colony

Mexico has been considered as a potential member of the BRICS bloc in the past, but was likely excluded because it is already part of the OECD, unlike Argentina. No BRICS member is part of the OECD.

Right, so, if a Latin American left president verbally criticises the mainstream media it's considered an "assault on the press".

When Israel actually shoots a journalist in the head and then attacks said journalist's funeral, they're the 'only democracy in the Middle East' 🧐

"Former" CIA officer @BryanDeanWright tells Tucker Carlson (who has also tried to join the CIA) that some Democratic Party leaders may in fact be secret intelligence agents working for China. This is easily as deranged as anything we've seen on MSNBC about Russia.

The US empire is waging many wars right now, not just one. Yes, a few Republicans (claim to) oppose the proxy war in Ukraine because they like Russia, but there is not a single GOP politician who consistently opposes all of the US hybrid wars on China, Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, etc.

That's utter fucking bullshit. You're just inventing fiction because your religion teaches virtuous political ideas can only reside on the left, never the right. So you make up facts to obscure that anti-war sentiment for *the war now* is on the Right.

This isn't true at all. Yes, most Democrats are pro-war, but the idea of "anti-interventionist" GOP/Fox is total nonsense.

Both are pro-war. They just disagree on the targets of empire.

Dems want war on Russia. Republicans want war on China/Iran/Cuba.

They're all imperialists

It's 100% understandable to hate the Democratic Party; it's completely neoliberal and pro-imperialist. But there are some pundits who hate liberals so much they do a reverse lesser-evilism and want us to believe the far-right, pro-war Republican Party is "anti-interventionist"

I'm sorry this traditionally left-wing view on war is now heard overwhelmingly instead in anti-interventionist GOP camps and on Fox News, almost never in mainstream liberal outlets or from Dem politicians (*all* of whom just voted for Biden's $40b escalation), but it's a fact:

The US Drug Exporting, sorry I mean Enforcement Admin (DEA) is the world's biggest drug cartel.

Bolivia kicked out the DEA, and drug trafficking decreased significantly.

Now Mexico is reducing cooperation with the DEA, so this Reuters propagandist is aggressively attacking AMLO

Scoop: In a fresh hit to security cooperation, the DEA has withdrawn from Mexico a plane that was used for counter-narcotics operations for decades.

Mexico revoked DEA's parking space.

"Died after being hit in the head by a bullet" is this ridiculous propaganda's way of saying that Israeli occupation forces shot and killed this Palestinian journalist

The US/OAS "Summit of the Americas" in California this June is falling apart. The US refuses to invite Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua, so the 14 members of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) vowed to boycott it. Mexican President AMLO won't attend either venezuelanalysis.com/news/15525

The 14 states in the Caribbean, and the presidents of both Bolivia and Mexico, have said they will not attend the "Summit of the Americas" in California this June if the US government refuses to invite Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua. This is historic

Good discussion by @AbbyMartin/@FluorescentGrey of the attempt to rebrand Florida Governor Ron DeSantis as "populist" or "libertarian"

He's just a neocon. He loves apartheid Israel and constantly pushes for regime change in Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, etc.

Neoconservative Florida governor and lover of Israeli apartheid Ron DeSantis just signed an authoritarian, fascist-apologist law that forces schools to brainwash children with anti-communist propaganda demonizing Fidel Castro and Nicolás Maduro nbcmiami.com/news/local/flo…

There are widespread warnings across Colombia right now of a coup d'etat that has been set in motion, with just weeks until elections.

The far-right US-backed Duque regime suspended the mayor of Medellín after he hinted he supported left-wing presidential candidate Gustavo Petro

Polls show that, if the vote is free and fair, left-wing presidential candidate Gustavo Petro will easily win the first round of Colombia's elections on May 29 in a historic landslide. He has 51% support, with no other candidate even coming remotely close

In this interview I discuss how NATO is expanding into the Asia-Pacific (very far from the North Atlantic region), enlisting Japan and South Korea in its new cold war on both China and Russia:

Skerrit: Cuba played a huge role in the apartheid period. Cuba helped in Angola's independence. Cuba helped in what was called Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe, and all of the African states benefited from Cuban's contribution to the fight for self-determination.
