Photos of the Armenian Genocide in color, including photos of a collection smuggled out of Armenia a century ago, showing the horror of what happened 106 years ago today.⁠ ImageImageImage
Today marks the anniversary of the start of what became known as the Armenian Genocide. The genocide was an attempt at crushing the growing movement for Armenian self-determination and pushing a policy of Turkification.⁠ ImageImage
On the night of April 23-24, between 235 and 270 prominent Armenian intellectuals and leaders were rounded up in today's Istanbul and moved to holding centres across present-day Turkey and Syria. The event became known as Red Sunday.⁠ Image

The Mexican town of Cherán in Michoacán kicked out its police, politicians and its drug cartels and then had one of the lowest crime rates in the country.
The majority Indigenous Purhépecha community rose up in 2011, created armed militias to fight off illegal logging and drug cartels and eventually kicked out the local government and dismantled the police apparatus which was accused of ties to the drug cartels.
The community collected the weapons, vehicles, and uniforms and established their own “ronda comunitaria” or community guard. They then set up their own system of direct governance based on Indigenous traditions and neighborhood assemblies.

[TW: police brutality, violent imagery]

His name was Daunte Wright. He was 20 years old when police shot and killed him during a traffic stop in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, on Sunday April 11—only 10 miles away from where George Floyd was killed last year.
Daunte was the father of a 2-year old and has been described by friends and family as a loving and devoted friend and father who worked several jobs to support his son. Daunte’s father also added that Daunte dropped out of high school because of a learning disability.
On Sunday, while driving to get his car washed with his girlfriend, Daunte was stopped by the police. According to Daunte’s mother, Daunte instantly called her during the traffic stop and told her that he was pulled over for hanging an air freshener in his rear view mirror.

60 years ago today, the Soviet pilot and cosmonaut, Yuri Gagarin, became the first person to ever venture into space and orbit the Earth. Gagarin’s mission was a historic achievement for the Soviet Union, which beat the US in the race to launch the first human into space. Image
Gagarin was born into a family of peasant farmers in Smolensk. During the Nazi occupation of the Soviet Union in WWII, the Germans took over his family home, deported his siblings to labor camps, and burned down the village school.
In 1946, he went back to school. A former Russian airman taught him math and science, which became his favorite subjects. While he graduated as a molder from a trade school and went to an industrial college, he worked tirelessly to be able to attend the Soviet Air Force school.
