These racist vigilantes are the shock troops of US fascism. They are abusing refugees fleeing Central America, which has been destabilized by US intervention

Spineless liberals who refuse to challenge US imperialism in Latin America help fuel this fascism
A US-backed military coup (overseen by Obama and Hillary) turned Honduras into the world's most violent country.

Many refugees from Central America are fleeing this US-sponsored violence and repression

Stopping this intervention is step 1 to stop fascism

Madness: Jeff Bezos' Wash Post full on neo-McCarthyite, fearmongering about YouTube's algorithm promoting an informative interview by award-winning journalists Chris Hedges & @AaronJMate because it's on RT.

YT should apparently only promote US propaganda
washingtonpost.com/technology/201…
I'm not exaggerating: Jeff Bezos' Wash Post treats only US corporate media outlets as "verified news sources"

The Post, owned by the richest capitalist on Earth (and Amazon has a big CIA contract), wants YouTube to further repress foreign media and act as a mouthpiece for the US
Jeff Bezos' Washington Post is now strongly implying that "Russians" should not be able to use YouTube the same way as everyone else.

Apparently only Americans can fully use YT.

(Also note how the US corporate media never distinguishes Russian civilians from their government.)

Unfortunately @JeremyScahill's claim that @TheIntercept has published "a wide range of voices on" Syria is completely false. 99% of its reporting on Syria has been cartoonishly pro-opposition (sometimes even more so than mainstream corporate media).
An editor of @TheIntercept is a hardcore sectarian who called Shia Muslims "dogs," smears everyone as "Assadists," shared a Salafi rebel propaganda video calling Hezbollah "the party of Satan," cheered at the murder of Qadhafi, & called Chávez a "dictator"
The Intercept collaborates with NED-funded regime-changers at Bellingcat and Qatar's Al Jazeera, and its articles on Syria quote fake "experts" like Charles Lister & fake government-funded opposition "NGOs" like SNHR, while its Twitter account retweets neocons like Michael Weiss.

.@Amnesty has blatant double standards: The leading "human rights org" has not said a word about the re-imprisonment of Chelsea Manning, who is being held in solitary confinement (torture), but it is exaggerating the case of an imprisoned Iranian activist
medium.com/@delshademami/…
Leading "human rights organization" @Amnesty International has been completely silent as Chelsea Manning @xychelsea has been re-imprisoned and put into torturous solitary confinement.
.@Delshade wrote: "Amnesty International’s double standard is a huge disservice to the notion of human rights as it has made a tool out of this org, like the corporate media, working only to serve the economic benefit of certain governments, mainly the US"

@JohnGaramendi with the Left talking point that we need to send money to the triangle to make them want to stay. According to open records over the last 30 years we've sent $67 billion in USAID and they are coming faster than ever. Need to stop with the lies sir.
This isn't normal come down to Weslaco & let us show you what's really going on. See we down here know what's going on. The left has been funding these caravans to give @realDonaldTrump problems trying to overwhelm the system. John these Pueblo Sin Fronteras are funded organizers
We know what is going on, soon everyone will. This isn't an expansion in coyote traffic, though the coyotes are benefiting because of it, because the system is full, the CBP is working double shift and undermanned. You party is directly responsible for this and you well know it.

Asylum-seekers in Texas are currently being stopped by border patrol before they can ask for asylum. This policy, as well as the separation of asylum-seeking kids from parents, is a VIOLATION OF INTERNATIONAL LAW. From @TexasMonthly: texasmonthly.com/politics/immig… (h/t @_karenjgonzalez)
I've had several people ask, so here's an in-depth thread about how this new policy violates international law: In 1948, after World War II, the US and several other countries signed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. un.org/en/universal-d…
After WWII, we as a country (including my grandfather, a WWII vet) felt we could never allow human rights to be violated as they had been under Hitler; they were concerned about the thousands of refugees in Europe as well as the millions of people slaughtered in the Holocaust.

Ok folks, this immigrant caravan story got my attention so I started doing some research.

All is not as it appears.

Thread:
First of all, People Without Borders is the organizer, and they are a protest group more than they are a cabal of human traffickers. They have organized this march in previous years. But this year, it has exploded.
I spoke to a source at the National Democratic Institute who specializes in Latin America and he said that this is a protest meant to draw attention to various political causes, which can be confirmed by going to the People Without Borders website.

1/ Jesus could be rough. Once, facing the hostility of some church and civic leaders of his day, He bluntly said, “I know that you do not have the love of God in you.” (John 5:42) Ouch.
2/ I see that Tony Perkins of Focus on the Family fame has joined other White Evangelical leaders like Jerry Falwell and 'ole Pat Robertson in praising God for Trump. (Note to rich and famous Trump pastors: it is more polite to vomit in private.)
3/ Here are two revealing stories about migration. The first is from the 30’s, the second is happening now. Story #1: Fritz was a young Jewish doctor in Berlin who had gone deaf in his late 20’s. As the Nazis grew in power, he fled,...
