Ayer en México, feria del libro, "Foro Alaide Foppa", desaparecida en los 80, hoy asesinado su nieto: Francisco Solórzano Foppa.

Repudio enérgicamente el cobarde asesinato del exfiscal Juan Francisco Solórzano Foppa. Sus autores, materiales e intelectuales, deben pagar las consecuencias con todo el peso de la ley: todas las instituciones públicas deben cooperar para que este crimen se castigue. Instruí a las instituciones del ejecutivo para actuar de inmediato, coordinarse con las autoridades competentes y poner todas sus capacidades al servicio del esclarecimiento de este crimen.
Quienes creen que el terror puede intimidar al pueblo de Guatemala y al gobierno que dirijo, se equivocan. En honor a Foppa, en honor a nuestra patria, en honor a la justicia.

Hace casi 24 años empezamos como pasantes en la agencia 19 de la Fiscalía Metropolitana. Compartimos alegrías y tu amistad nunca faltó en los momentos difíciles. No siempre coincidimos, pero siempre admiré tu lucha.
Duele despedirte así, Foppa. Esta es nuestra última foto, de hace un año. Hasta siempre, amigo.

Meta employees admitted the US corporation censored the Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp accounts of Brazil's left-wing President Lula da Silva in the lead-up to this month's election.
Meta also promoted the accounts of far-right pro-US candidate Flávio Bolsonaro.
Meta claimed this was supposedly because of "technical issues".
But what this really shows is how real democracy is impossible when US Big Tech corporations are used to manipulate elections around the world, to put in power right-wing US puppets who will sell out their country to US corporations and the US government (see: the recent US electoral interference in Colombia, Honduras, Peru, Argentina, etc.)
The CIA previously focused on organizing military coups to overthrow independent left-wing leaders and install right-wing pro-imperialist ones. Now it's much easier: Silicon Valley helps the US empire carry out soft coups by manipulating public opinion and interfering in elections.

A woman gets assaulted at a Trump rally, and the crowd chants “USA! USA!”
There’s something deeply sick about turning violence into patriotism.
I’m not sure I’ll ever hear that chant the same way again after the Trump era. And that pains me.

This story is extremely important:
A whistleblower revealed that Brazil's far-right Bolsonaro family dynasty met with Meta to discuss US plans to interfere in Brazil's election, to prevent Lula from winning.
Lula's Facebook and Instagram accounts were censored a few days before the first round of the presidential election.
This had a huge impact on the election, because Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, which are all owned by Meta, are the most popular apps in Brazil, and are hugely influential all across Latin America. (Jair Bolsonaro's son Flávio was declared the winner of the first round of the vote, by a narrow margin.)
Meta later admitted that Lula's accounts had been restricted, but it claimed that this was supposedly due to a "technical error"...
The whistleblower who disclosed this is Nadia Beller, a Bolivian journalist who was almost killed by hitmen hired by Fernando Cerimedo, a far-right Argentine political operative who oversees election interference, bots, and disinformation campaigns.
Cerimedo is closely linked to the US government and has worked for pretty much every right-wing leader in Latin America. He was photographed with Donald Trump Jr. and members of the Bolsonaro family, and he received an award at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida a few months before he was arrested for the failed assassination attempt against Beller, his pregnant ex-girlfriend.

I find it unfathomable that Democrats are not loudly and clearly stating that Musk is a threat to the US national security and national wellbeing and will be dealt with at the first opportunity.
Francisco Goldman retweeted
I think that Dem states affected by these huge payments could and should launch election integrity investigations into what are prima facie attempts to corrupt an election.
NYT: Elon Musk quietly drops $276M on GOP midterms—$158M alone to Senate super PAC in one of the largest political donations ever. Biggest known donor trying to save Republican majority

as the inhibitory part of the brain atrophies the afflicted person will speak out impulsively saying virtually anything. soon, T***p will have a sort of continuous Tourette's tic causing him to say the most amazing things of which not one will be in any way beneficiary to the American people.

😱😱😱 And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media.
A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children.
Lets make this viral again 👇
Every voter in the country should see this. This is what brainwashed MAGA thugs and morons are all about: fascist mob violence against one sole woman protestor, while that orange piece of scum rants out his infantile, violence-stoking lies.
Last night, a woman attended a Trump rally wearing a "Release the Epstein Files" shirt (a core promise of the Trump campaign).
A ruckus ensued, and several MAGA men beat her mercilessly.
While she was being beaten, Trump mocked her from the stage.
Trump is a demonic force on society.
I simply cannot think of any other word to describe it.
