🇨🇺 Two years ago on July 11, 2021, Cuba experienced one of the most serious and coordinated destabilization campaigns against it in recent history.

Read more 🧵
Right-wing groups supported by US politicians, think tanks, & armed with an international social media strategy, attempted to exploit the discontent created by the tightening of the blockade to push for the overthrow of the Cuban revolutionary government.
🇨🇺 In response, the people of Cuba took to the streets to defend the revolution, while Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel himself went directly to the communities that had participated in the protests to listen to their grievances.

#PeoplesHistory | As Pride month comes to a close, this is your reminder that Stonewall was a working-class riot against all forms of oppression.
Today, we remember the members of the LGBTQ+ community who fought against police repression in the 6-day #StonewallRebellion, which began in the early hours of this day in 1969.

At the time, the New York police had a policy of closing gay bars and on June 28, 1969 it raided the Stonewall Inn which was considered a "refuge" for mainly working-class and poor members of the LGBTQ+ community.

#PeoplesHistory | Today, we remember when the heroic Cuban people defeated US imperialism. Image
On this day in 1961, about 1500 far-right Cuban exiles trained, financed, and supported by the CIA tried to invade Cuba, landing in Playa Girón, to “recover” Cuba for the US imperialist benefit. They also planned to kill Fidel Castro and destroy the popular Cuban Revolution. ImageImageImage
The Cuban Revolutionary Army, directly led from the front lines by Fidel Castro, repelled the attack in less than three days. ImageImageImage

🇸🇩 As many as 60 people have been killed since fighting broke out between the Sudanese Army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.

Understand what is happening from a left perspective. [1/11]
Since the fighting started, the two forces have released differing accounts of “who fired the first shot”.

The RSF claims that the Army carried out a series of surprise attacks against their troops and bases in locations across the country. [2/11]
The Army maintains that fighting began after the RSF allegedly took control of the Presidential Palace, the seat of the junta’s chairman and army chief, General Abdel Fattah al Burhan. [3/11]

The Cuban delegation attending the inauguration is met by loud cheers.

Bolsonaro’s government was hostile to Cuba and was responsible for ending the medical cooperation between the two countries.

#PeoplesHistory | 🇮🇷 On this day in 1953, the CIA’s first successful coup overthrew Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh and his democratically elected government. British intelligence backed their US counterparts in this illegal act.
Mossadegh was an icon of Iran’s secular democracy and resistance to foreign colonial powers. He became Prime Minister in 1951. He nationalized Iranian oil and instituted radical measures such as social security, land reform, and wealth redistribution.
The nationalization of oil, which took it out of British hands, was celebrated by the Iranian people. But the colonial and imperialist powers were not happy.
