bruh, you cannot, must not look away when they trying to sell you $31 million in police overtime (to an already bloated $230 million budget), sell you a "mysterious" $30 mil budget deficit and need for you to pony up more cash. You should be outraged. You should demand better.
We live in an absolutely insane world where this genocidal war criminal who has slaughtered tens of thousands of Palestinian women, mutilating their bodies, openly boasts of how the US & Israeli regimes ousted the prosecutor of the ICC, and cynically claims it's justice for women
Corey Ruiz was murdered. He was being held down on the ground when he was shot three times at point blank range. There is no reforming these police and that’s why we demand community control!
Justice for Corey Ruiz!
This is false and ridiculous.
This propaganda spread by the US government (which supports actual dictatorships around the world) has been widely regurgitated by the corporate media.
But they are all taking out of context comments made by Nicaragua's Co-President Daniel Ortega.
Below I have posted a screenshot of the official transcript of the speech given by Ortega on 19 July 2026, alongside my translation. (This is link to the official transcript: https://t.co/9x3oIbipC4)
The full context clearly shows that Ortega was discussing the history of US interference in Nicaragua, and how the US government funds right-wing political parties to try to overthrow the Sandinista Front. (This should not come as a surprise to anyone who knows the basic history of Nicaragua and the CIA's Contra terror war in the 1980s.)
In 2018, the US government sponsored a very violent coup attempt in Nicaragua, which was extremely traumatic for the population.
Ortega was saying that "there will be no more elections" for these coup-plotting right-wing political parties that are funded by the US government.
Nicaragua is defending its sovereignty and preventing the US empire from installing another puppet regime like the corrupt Somoza dictatorship, which Washington propped up for decades, on the corpses of countless Nicaraguans.
The US empire has invaded Nicaragua multiple times, militarily occupied the country, waged a terror war, imposed sanctions, funded the opposition, and meddled nonstop in its elections. The Sandinista government is saying that that history of foreign interference is over. No more.
Corey Ruiz should be alive. But yesterday, Madison PD officers murdered him in cold blood. This is the kind of brutality and terror which Black Americans are subjected to daily—we need to put a leash on these killer cops and put power in the hands of the people. It’s time to hit the streets and fight back.
Justice for Corey! Jail killer cops! Community control of the police now!
latrisha vetaw says when donald trump's ICE terrorized minnesota, "angie craig took to the streets and took them on"
as they use footage of craig's performative stunt of walking around a room holding a sign saying "IMPEACH KRISTI NOEM."
where are those streets?
never forget craig's vote for the laken riley act
@sam_schulie_1 I personally don’t want my tax dollars funding NATO’s proxy war against Russia. The public record is clear on who fomented this war. And as her constituent, I hope Ilhan Omar votes against sending military assistance to Ukraine every time it comes up.
I’m so tired of MPD and the mayor telling us the solution is more cops. 10-20 cops on the block, MPD responded in less than a minute to the scene, 9 people still got shot and the shooter still got away. Staffing isn’t the issue!
Right now at a public safety meeting after multiple shootings, Minneapolis Police keeps talking about staffing issues. Alluding to the idea that more police would solve this issue.
The mass shootings in Uptown are happening with 10-20 officers in 8-10 squad cars on the block.

Jake Sullivan regrets not doing more to restrain Israel. Biden fell into "the trap" of deferring arms halt thinking deal was imminent. "I will say straightforwardly—we should have put more pressure on Israel to take a different approach," he tells @ddk_nyc https://t.co/avjuDdSbeW
This is ridiculous propaganda that is trying to clean up the image of the war criminals who absolutely were aware of what Israel was doing and was planning on doing from day one. Jake Sullivan KNEW. Blinken KNEW. McGurk KNEW. They all knew everything we all witnessed - and even more. They lied every single day and they gave Israel a blank check to slaughter children and exterminate entire families.
The author of this piece - David D. Kirkpatrick - also co-wrote an October 2023 piece (“Hamas Propaganda) with Adam Rasgon that collapsed Palestinian journalists into Hamas. Horrific read that I taught in my class on the media & genocide as a prime example of genocide manufacturing.
By also making this about Netanyahu, the entirety of Israeli state and society - complicit and supportive of the extermination - is protected.
Absolute drivel and that the NYT stenographer for the Biden admin - Peter Baker - is sharing it, tells you what you need to know about the function of this piece.
I am so sick of the way western media covers Nicaragua and the left here eats it up🙄 ..On the 47th anniversary of the Sandinista revolution, Ortega didn’t say abolish all electoral processes. He said parties aligned w/U.S. interests and U.S.-backed intervention will no longer be allowed to compete or foment coups.
After seeing what Trump’s done in Honduras, Colombia and others, I can’t believe ppl would deny U.S. meddling in Latin American elections is a real threat. An FSLN supporter clarifies here: https://t.co/6OVwEZPol0
"Cree el ladrón que todos son de su condición". Nada más acertado para caracterizar el informe del Dpto. de Estado vs #Cuba, promovido por uno de los funcionarios más corruptos de la actual administración, de probados nexos con narcotraficantes y terroristas de la Florida.

The Pentagon has been withholding info about US casualties in its war of aggression on Iran.
The number of US casualties is likely significantly higher than has been disclosed. Iran has hit back hard in self-defense. But the Trump admin is afraid of revealing the real figures.
This "report" serves to warmonger against Cuba as the US tightens the blockade, and claims US people could only possibly hold anti-imperialist, anti-racist, anti-capitalist beliefs as a result of foreign interference rather than as a logical conclusion from living in US society.
