FRAUD ALERT: Less than 10 hours before elections in Honduras begin, the National Electoral Council website is completely down. There’s currently no way for voters to find their polling place.
The latest poll showed the ruling National Party losing to leftist candidate Xiomara Castro by 17 points. It’s widely understood that their only real chance of staying on power—like in 2017 and 2013—is electoral fraud
Update: some parts of the CNE page appear to have been restored but the site is currently so slow that it’s practically non-functional.
Google maps plugin Honduran voters could use to find their polling isn’t working either. It’s possible the situation comes down to sheer incompetence on the part of the CNE, which many believe favors the narco-regime despite representation of members of other parties
UPDATE: Widespread outages of the CNE site are once again being condemned. Now one of Honduras’ most influential politicians says the regime is doing it on purpose.
Cops went NUTS on racial justice protesters who’d begun to disperse after marching through DC—by far the most aggressive police tactics seen since last summer
Watch as they rush demonstrators, beat them w/ a baton, throw a woman to the ground, hurl obscenities & deck a bicyclist
.@DCPoliceDept seemed to take advantage of the chaos they caused tonight to pick off anyone wearing black.
While most cops were charging the protesters at the famed Chinatown arch, others pounced on activists walking home via 7th St. At least 1 of them was a teenager.
What seemed to set off @DCPoliceDept was protesters burning a “Thin Blue Line” flag on the notorious Christopher Columbus statue by Union Station
Cops doused it with an accelerant and, apparently undeterred, poured it onto several other flares until the whole platform was alight
.@washingtonpost: *publishes an obscene array of xenophobic attacks on China accusing them of everything from harvesting organs to committing genocide to causing the pandemic*
Check out this thread to see just a small sample of the horrific racial violence generated by the yellow peril propaganda that imperialist outlets like @washingtonpost have been pushing for well over a century:
After massive public outrage over viral video I posted showing police rampaging outside the White House early Saturday morning, the @DCPoliceDept announced they're launching an investigation
Can't wait to hear how they justify nightly beatdowns of anti-police brutality activists
Here's the footage that forced @ChiefNewsham to open up an investigation into the ongoing campaign of racist polic terror unleashed by @MayorBowser's DC police on activists campaigning against exactly that
Letter from Councilmember @charlesallen to Police @ChiefNewsham last night condemns "serious lapse of judgement & leadership," demands body cam footage of their reign of terror & explanation of @DCPoliceDept's Saturday luncheon w "white supremacist media"
The sister of Omar Calles, who was gunned down by the Añez regime's security forces, has strong words for her brother's killers.
"If you kill a dog or a bird they put you in jail. But they killed my brother & I don't see anyone responsible in jail... How do they sleep at night?"
"We were getting ready to take a family vacation when we heard over the radio: 'Omar Calles has died.'" Then they found out Bolivian police pushed their aging mother to the ground, broke her hand, robbed her, and called her a "bitch."
"How can these cops treat people like this?"
The Añez-led military junta is now floating a plan to pay 50,000 Bolivianos (approx $7000 US) to each of the victims' families.
"Those 50,000 Bs won't bring my brother back to life. He won't show up singing "look sister, I came back! Here I am to take care of you!""
I went to @SamanthaJPower's book signing to ask about her justification for the destruction of Libya: "We could hardly expect to have a crystal ball when it came to accurately predicting outcomes”
They called security when I asked if she'd gotten hold of a crystal ball for Syria
Last guy said she always responds on Twitter, so here's your chance @SamanthaJPower: you told @1a you wish you'd lobbied harder for Obama to bomb Syria w/o Congressional approval. Did you finally get a MENA crystal ball, or is "accurately predicting outcomes" just not a priority?
These two security guard ran past me as I walked out the stairwell. @CarnegieEndow and @SamanthaJPower are more than happy to go to war on behalf of western liberal values, but their response to free speech/free press that doesn't serve the narrative? Throwing me out the building
