If Israel can get away with this — executing a lethal drone strike on aid workers thousands of kilometers from its borders in international waters — then no ally of Palestine, anywhere, is safe. The Flotilla strike was an attack on solidarity itself.

Damn ‼️🇲🇽 This is the Zócalo in downtown Mexico City RIGHT NOW, where President Claudia Sheinbaum has convened hundreds of thousands of citizens to inform them of her government’s response to Trump and the threat of a tariff war with the United States.

All eyes on Ecuador. This is an emergency.
URGENT 🇪🇨 24 hours before voting, Daniel Noboa has issued Executive Decree 599 suspending constitutional rights of Ecuador's citizens: inviolability of the home, inviolability of correspondence, freedom of assembly, and freedom of movement — and declared a "state of exception."

URGENT 🚨 US INTERFERENCE IN ECUADOR'S 🇪🇨 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS:. Ecuador's nepo-billionaire president Daniel Noboa – staring down the barrel of his likely defeat on Sunday's elections – has invited disgraced US mercenary ERIK PRINCE to come to Ecuador to campaign on his behalf.

My bet is that all the gringo pundits screaming about AMLO as the “AUTOCRAT NEXT DOOR” know nothing about this history. No politician in the history of Mexico has done more to rejuvenate its democracy – a democracy that was perverted time & again to persecute him.
🇲🇽 20 years ago today, AMLO delivered what may be his most iconic speech ever, during his impeachment trial:. "You will judge me, but don't forget that history has yet to judge both you and me."

“For decades, Mexico has been characterized by the micropolitics of clientelism. The return of ‘democratic planning’ to Mexican governance would mark a sea change in the country’s political economy.”. @davidrkadler, @vannessarr, & @michael_galant on Claudia Sheinbaum’s presidency

With Bloomberg citing an outlier exit poll to pronounce victory for Daniel Noboa — before a single vote has been counted! — I am re-upping this call for vigilance against U.S. intervention in Ecuador:. ⏬.

This is f*cking insane.

No fucking way 😂. Ecuador’s billionaire president brought Erik Prince to tour the country and “crack down” on crime, organizing a Disneyland operation called “Apollo 13”. Now, all 68 of Prince’s detainees walk free because they…. didn’t actually commit any crime. Humiliating.
#NACIONAL .Erik Prince participó en una redada en Guayaquil, en el denominado operativo Apolo 13. Sin embargo, ninguno de los 68 detenidos enfrentó cargos, lo que demuestra la falta de pruebas. Los críticos afirman que fue más una farsa que una efectividad. Más información ⬇️

The government of Spain once pledged to block the traffic of weapons to Israel. Now – as every day – Moncloa must make good on that pledge. Detain Nexoe, block the bombs, and — as @PalYouthMvmt has demanded — rip the #MaskOffMaersk.

The @ProgIntl ringing the alarm 🚨 Noboa is making lists of his top critics for detention — politicians, journalists, and activists: a terrifying moment for the Ecuadorian opposition and the democratic rights of all Ecuadorian citizens.
URGENT (1/2) 🚨🇪🇨 Following Sunday’s election in Ecuador – contested by candidate Luisa González on allegations of fraud, corruption and intimidation – the government of Daniel Noboa has reportedly compiled a blacklist of ~100 opposition figures at maximum risk of detention.

But don't take his word for it -
The problems in our society are not caused by migrants or refugees. They are caused by an economic system rigged in favour of corporations and billionaires. If the government wanted to improve people’s lives, it would tax the rich and build an economy that works for us all.

The White House is pay-for-play 🤠. Ecuador’s nepo-billionaire president is flagging in the polls ahead of April elections. So he hired a U.S. consultant for a six-figure sum to arrange a photo opp with Trump 🤑. This week, Noboa travels to Florida to cash in. Democracy! 🤗.

The narrative about China's "debt-trap diplomacy" in Africa is complete nonsense. A study that looked at more than 1,000 loans to Africa found that Chinese lenders never seized assets, never used courts to enforce payments, and never applied penalty interest rates.

Since Trump was elected, US support for international cooperation of all kinds has climbed sharply, from free trade to overseas assistance. Perhaps Trump’s real MAGA legacy will be Making Americans Globalists Again
