#OtD 3 Jun 1943 200 white US Navy sailors attacked zoot suit wearing Mexican-American children in LA. Police arrested the victims of the attacks and the city council even tried to ban the wearing of the suit. Zoot suit riots broke out in several cities https://t.co/zNP1Gz313Z

A war economy built on fossil fuel domination requires mass denial. People have been well trained to defend the machine killing them

[Democracy Now! @democracynow]

The U.S. has killed more than 200 people in over 60 strikes on boats in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific, claiming without evidence that the boats were engaged in narcotrafficking. Amanda Klasing (@AMKlasing) of @amnestyusa says these are extrajudicial killings that constitute murder. “U.S. taxpayers should be outraged, absolutely outraged, that their money is going to murder as a policy,” says Klasing.

Under pressure, Guatemala secretly agreed to Joint US Strikes inside its borders against drug groups. More countries will be pressed soon

Washington’s bigger strategy:
-normalize the presence of US troops across Latam
-Get Mexico to cave & accept US ops

The US military has backed AI development for decades; in turn, AI has transformed warfare. Amid shifting alliances, lawsuits & melodrama, it’s easy to lose sight of the larger context: In recent years, AI has enabled more/faster killings than ever before. https://t.co/XJyZShYpgp

NEW: A report out today offers the most comprehensive accounting ever of what the U.S. military presence in Hawaiʻi actually costs.

As 65-year leases with the U.S. military expire in 2028-2029, communities in Hawaiʻi have a chance to reclaim that land. https://t.co/7HyL6xNYsm

“I joined the military at 19 because it was my only way out of poverty.”

Demi Palecek, an active duty National Guardsmen and member of @vetsaboutface, urges those to "honor the fallen" on Memorial Day by rejecting endless cycles of war and saying "No" to Trump's anti-immigrant agenda.

Palecek has continued to protest wars and ICE terror despite facing repercussions from National Guard leadership, and she encourages other active duty soldiers to resist and speak against illegal orders.

Palecek spoke at today’s annual Memorial Day anti-war action in Chicago.

Let’s stop lying to ourselves on Memorial Day and instead try exploring the full truth about war in all its evil. https://t.co/xl27MiOKDN

Unlike earlier student protesters, who often armed themselves against police, Sunagawa demonstrators sat unarmed in white shirts and headbands to highlight their blood. By refusing to resist beatings, they drew public sympathy.

Known as "Bloody Sunagawa" (流血の砂川), the 1955–1957 protests against a U.S. airbase expansion were the most intense and violent of their kind in Japan.

They also represent a rare victory for the people in a direct conflict with the post-war state.

[Séamus Malekafzali @Seamus_Malek]

Pointed out by a locked friend: This Axios accusation of Cuba planning a drone attack on Guantanamo Bay, or on American vessels, or on Florida, all of those are literally from Operation Northwoods, the false-flag attack plans prepared by the CIA in 1962.
