BREAKING 🇨🇴🇵🇸🇮🇱 President and
@ProgIntl
Council member Gustavo Petro announces that, from tomorrow, Colombia will break all diplomatic relations with Israel.
This is Ecuador’s President, Daniel Noboa, the 36-year-old son of the richest man in the country. He has spent less than 6 months in office, and already ordered the unprecedented invasion of the Mexican Embassy — to the silence of his principal backers in Washington DC.
This is a watershed moment in Latin American history. The Ecuadorian invasion of the Mexican Embassy is a violation of national sovereignty that risks the entire struggle for a regional “Zone of Peace.” Utter insanity
Complete silence from the State Department. Complete silence from Antony Blinken and Brian Nichols. Complete silence from US Ambassadors in Ecuador and in Mexico — as a flagrant violation of the Vienna Convention erupts a regional scandal across Latin America.
Aaaaand the President of Ecuador has just announced that he is leaving the country — “for personal reasons” — amid its largest diplomatic scandal in decades 🤡
God DAMN. The Mexican government has shared the video of the Ecuadorian invasion of their embassy to kidnap ex-Vice President Jorge Glas. Yesterday, Glas was sent to a Naval Hospital in Guayaquil after apparently falling into a coma...
In my humble opinion,
@ecuarauz
is one of the most important – and one of the most brilliant – political economists in the world. A creative, solid 10-point plan to decolonize the planet presented today to the NIEO Congress here in Havana. Transcript coming soon.
They’ve assassinated Ecuador’s youngest mayor, a member of the Citizen’s Revolution, and such a bright promise for the country’s future. The Noboa government – with the help of US South Comm – is sending this country deeper into the void of total violence.

Massive escalation of the Mexico-Ecuador crisis ‼️🚨
Today, Mexico announced that it's taking the case to the Hague — and calling for the suspension of Ecuador from the United Nations.
No fucking way. Instead of apologizing for the violation of the Vienna Convention, the Noboa government called on the Organization of American States to CHANGE THE INTERNATIONAL LAW that they broke on political asylum. Astounding.
Progressive Reps. Pocan, McGovern and Schakowsky are circulating a letter to Biden calling to halt weapons transfers to Israel over the World Central Kitchen strike:

My deepest condolences to their families and friends.
BREAKING 🇪🇨 Ecuador votes NO in the referendum on investor-state arbitration (ISDS), rejecting President Noboa’s underhanded efforts to override the Constitution to protect foreign investors over labor rights, Indigenous communities, and environmental regulations.
I am at Charles De Gaule airport. They are preventing me from entering France. I am supposed to speak at the French Senate today. They say the Germans put a 1 year ban on my entry to Europe.
This is worse than “Collateral Murder.” It is Collateral Slaughter, of unarmed children, broadcast to the world, without a single consequence for its perpetrators.
God damn. Less than 2 months out from the EU elections, the leading party in almost *every* large European nation comes from the radicalized or extreme right.

Holy shit. 10% of votes are in, and the uncommitted total has surpassed the 2016 Trump margin. At this rate, the total will pass the 2020 margin as well.
You have to stay angry. They are betting that the protests will stop, people will turn their heads, and the killing will continue with impunity. We cannot let that happen.
I am taking bets on which leaders Anne Applebaum will designate as “dictators.” Certainly AMLO is going to be in there. Evo too. I wonder how far she will go?
At Northwestern: average Karen tried to walk her dog through the encampment & called the police although she was there voluntarily & was always FREE TO LEAVE. She clearly weaponizes her Jewish identity to make a mockery of actual victims of antisemitism. NUPD told her to leave.
Correction ‼️ There is, in fact, a Latin American precedent for Ecuador's invasion of the Mexican Embassy. In 1976, the Uruguayan dictatorship broke, entered, and kidnapped dissident Elena Quinteros from the Venezuelan Embassy. She was tortured, and then killed.
Holy shit. Police appear to raid Peruvian President Dina Boluarte’s house as they open a corruption investigation against the “assassin” President that usurped power after the coup against Pedro Castillo.
BREAKING 🇪🇨 Ecuador’s courts rule that the detention of ex Vice President Jorge Glas was *ILLEGAL* and violated national regulations for the search of diplomatic missions. Glas remains detained by the Noboa government — against the court’s ruling.
I strongly oppose valorizing any form of suicide as a noble, principled, or legitimate form of political protest. People suffering mental illness deserve empathy and respect, but it is wildly irresponsible to praise them for using a political justification to take their own life.
After just 9 weeks of Javier Milei in power, the government of Argentina has its first budget surplus in over 12 years. In US terms, Milei turned a 1.2 trillion-dollar annual deficit into a 400 billion surplus.
It’s possible here too. Unlike my predecessors, I’ll actually drain…
Can’t stop watching this video from CPAC: Milei’s aggressive enthusiasm, Trump’s fearful embrace. Like two barbie dolls that a twisted child forced to kiss
Happy Easter, Javier Milei’s dead dog Conan has risen! In his CNN interview, Milei insists that in addition to his 4 living dogs, his dead fifth dog Conan is actually alive and a key part of his daily routine 😳
Today, Mexico’s ex-Ambassador to Ecuador spoke out about the breach of international law of “such magnitude that the current Ecuadorian government cannot measure.” The upshot: Jorge Glas – the ex VP captured in the Embassy – remains a Mexican asylee.

So the President of Ecuador has finally commented on his invasion of the Mexican Embassy — with a truly duplicitous statement. Ecuador, he says, "is a country of peace and of justice, which respects all nations and international law," before thanking the armed forces 🤨
The political situation in Italy 🇮🇹 is DIRE.
Putting aside the problem of its post-fascist Prime Minister, these polls reveal a stunning mismatch between Italy's latent political preferences and its actual party system. Abysmal.
“We didn’t come to rob you. We came to kill you.” Meet the Reactionary International 🚨🇦🇷 Yesterday, far-right thugs attacked & sexually assaulted a daughter of Argentina’s disappeared. On her wall, they wrote “VLLC”: Viva la Libertad Carajo, Javier Milei’s famous slogan.
The heated discussion surrounding director Jonathan Glazer’s speech at the Oscars last night is mostly missing the point. His main message was simple and yet vital: empathy is not a zero-sum game.
This is a massive, courageous, and visionary move by

I have this portrait hanging on the wall of my bathroom. Every morning I struggle to style myself to match the portrait. And every day, I fail. He is unmatched and – as I am reminded daily – unmatchable.
I gave a short interview to
@Dawn_News
about the Gaza premonition to the Global South: that Genocide can be committed with the impunity, the ignorance, and even the accolades of the West.
The president of Mexico’s proposal for stemming immigration includes:
- The U.S. commit $20 billion a year to poor countries in Latin America and the Caribbean
-Lift sanctions on Venezuela
-End the Cuban embargo
-Legalize law-abiding Mexicans living in the U.S.
Javier Milei's economic genius is so powerful that he is now telling the citizens of Argentina they will have to start "taking money out of the mattress." 🤡
Biden's California fundraiser proves his pro-Israel stand is paying off.
Haim Saban, an Israeli-American, who said "I'm a one-issue guy, and my issue is Israel", threw the party that cost up to $250,000 a seat
It was co-hosted with Casey Wasserman and Leslie Gilbert-Lurie, who…
If you want to see a true American Psycho on display, don't forget to tune in to Rep. Salazar's 2 pm hearing on "the agents of antisemitism in Latin America." It's going to be a blockbuster of old school anti-Communism and new school Zionist paranoia!

So many months of preparation, so nervous to see it all come together, but so excited to put these brilliant delegates in one place for long days of serious deliberation in such an historic building. Vamos! 🎉🇨🇺🥹
TOMORROW 🇨🇺 The 50th Anniversary Congress on the New International Economic Order. Sign up now to stay up to date as delegates from 25 counties across the world land in Cuba to deliberate the past and future of the NIEO inside the National Capitol.
On the 75th anniversary of NATO, Argentina’s “anarchy-capitalist” president Javier Milei announces a new naval base in Tierra del Fuego as a partnership with the United States Southern Command, citing shared membership of the “Western tradition.”
Damn.

What do you know about the influence of Israeli spyware on the forces of reaction in Latin America? 🤔 Read on in the first case study of the Reactionary International research consortium
READ NOW on The Reactionary International 🌐 How a Team of Israeli Hackers Profits and Provides for the Reactionary International
From ‘Team Jorge’ to Pegasus, this illicit network is built to hack, manipulate, and attack even the most powerful targets.
I have signed my name to this important letter to demand freedom for Ecuador’s kidnapped and incarcerated former VP Jorge Glas. I regret that I am one of just two US Americans to do so; Noboa’s kidnapping of Jorge Glas is a threat to international law everywhere.
Another hideous & humiliating hit job attempt on AMLO in the prestige US press. The NYT – like ProPublica – declares AMLO guilty by insinuation, without a shred of evidence of his corruption or connection to the cartels. Really embarrassing 🙄
We are excited to announce that PW is now available in Spanish and Portuguese!
Estamos muito animados para contar que, a partir de hoje, a PW está disponível em português e espanhol!
Con muchos ánimos compartimos que a partir de hoy, PW está disponible en español y portugués!
@ASPertierra
Three separate Qs imo:
1. Did Castillo attempt an auto-coup
2. Was his ouster, incarceration, and entire family’s persecution a coup?
3. Is Boluarte a usurper when the country could have gone to elections?
Police in Brussels have moved to shut down an ongoing gathering of Europe’s hard-right elite, with UK politician Nigel Farage in attendance today and Hungarian leader Viktor Orbán set to join.
