May 25, 1991: Operation Carlota ended. That day, the last Cuban soldiers came home after 16 years in Southern Africa. They didn’t just defend Angola, they freed Namibia & broke apartheid’s back. One of the greatest acts of internationalism in history. The world still owes Cuba.

One of the most brutal scenes in human history has been leaked.

An Israeli soldier filmed and published this clip while proudly boasting about the destruction of all homes in Gaza.

A video that the world must never forget.

I am so inspired by this proletariat revolt of farmers and workers across Bolivia.

ISRAEL KIDNAPS SISTER OF IRISH PRESIDENT

Irish President Catherine Connolly has confirmed that her sister, Dr Margaret Connolly, is among more than 400 activists detained by Isr*eli forces during a raid on the Global Sumud humanitarian flotilla in international waters.

The 50-vessel convoy, carrying 428 activists from 44 countries, was intercepted on 18 May approximately 70 nautical miles from Cyprus as it sailed toward G*za to deliver medical supplies and break the military blockade imposed on the coastal enclave since 2007.

In a video recorded before her detention, Dr Connolly stated: "If you are watching this video, it means I have been kidnapped from my boat in the flotilla by the Isr*eli occupying forces, and I'm now being held illegally in an Isr*eli prison".

Speaking to reporters in London, President Connolly said she was "very proud" of her sister but "very worried" about her, adding that the interception reportedly occurred in international waters, which is "a cause of worry".

The Isr*eli military confirmed it had seized all vessels, with Foreign Ministry spokesperson Oren Marmorstein describing the flotilla as a "PR stunt at the service of H*mas". Irish Foreign Minister Helen McEntee said she was "appalled and shocked" by video footage circulated by Isr*el's National Security Minister showing detained activists zip-tied and forced to kneel, demanding their immediate release.

The blockade, imposed after Hamas's 2007 takeover of Gaza, has been condemned by UN bodies as collective punishment, restricting food, medicine, and free movement for more than two million Palestinians.

Cuba is not a menace to the world.
The United States is a menace to the world.
The world stands with Raúl Castro, hero of the Cuban Revolution.
The world turns its back on Donald Trump, clown of human destruction.

There has never been a war in history where 80% of the country has been destroyed, 100% of the population displaced, and 50% of the deaths children.

Call it what it is: GENOCIDE.

BREAKING: Tens of thousands rally in Havana in defense of Raúl Castro.

Cubans are accusing the US of using the indictment as "pretext" for a military attack. They say they don't want a conflict, but they're willing to fight to defend the country.

‼️ BEWARE: Today the NC Senate Ag committee is discussing to add Right-to-work for less law into the state constitution.

🤔 Why are electeds spending time on this while working people are suffering from low wages, high gas, food, & housing costs. Is there nothing better to do?

[UE150, NC Public Service Workers Union @UE150Union]

“I am tired of being short staffed, underpaid, & overworked at a quote unquote good job. Why do we have to work a 2nd job just to make ends meet while you’re giving the rich tax breaks. Where are our tax breaks & raises that we haven’t seen in 2 yrs? Join me on May 1 in Raleigh!”

To live in North Carolina is to continually encounter a wild new fact about its history of radical struggle. I spoke with @tressiemcphd about her new documentary short on the South’s first Black Panther chapter, established in Winston-Salem in 1969. https://t.co/mp8AXmapxo
