  1. "Before Nicolás Maduro and Hugo Chávez, there was #CiprianoCastro. Before Donald Trump, there was Theodore Roosevelt. And before petroleum, there was asphalt pitch. The following excerpt from #AmericaAmérica: A New History of the New World is a timely reminder that behind today’s headlines announcing any given crisis in #LatinAmerica often stands a long history of imperial outrages."

    Shame will follow them all of their days, shame will be remembered longer than they are remembered.

    A century of shame.

  3. Thoughtful discussion about Grandin’s new history of Latin America: America America, highlighting how conflict resolution among nations there in last 2 centuries offered models for international cooperation, including United Nations, weapons treaties, and Pope Francis legacy. Mention of The Nation excerpt. I ordered a copy.

  4. 'While the US Declaration of Independence is mute about #conquest and #colonization, Venezuela’s independence manifesto acknowledges that the new nation was built on stolen land, conquered through bloodshed. The word “society” appears 15 times in the Venezuelan Constitution, Grandin notes, while the US Constitution doesn’t mention it once.'

  5. I understand now what #tRump thinks he's doing by cosying up to #NobbyBukake
    #OrangeShitler thinks he's copying his #StrongMan idol #ToplessVlad #Putin by aligning the #Americas (willing criminal states like #ElSalvador and very unwilling targets like #Canada) into the #UnitedSovietStates of #Authoritarianism with its own cadre of soulless #Oligarchs.

    #Resist #Citizens, this mad man must be stopped.
