One month after the presidential elections, Venezuelans returned to the voting booth for a very different sort of democratic exercise. In the National Popular Consultations of Communes, residents came to decide which neighborhood project will be prioritized next. 🧵 Image We observed large turnouts of working-class voters in three communes in the northeastern state Anzoátegui. Housing, electricity and school repairs topped the list. The government provides approximately $10,000 for the prioritized project in each commune, which is self-managed. Image

One of the most damning parts of South Africa’s ICJ report accusing Israel of genocide is a section dedicated to documenting the openly genocidal statements made by Israeli politicians and military commanders.

Here are some of the worst statements that you might have missed: “Israel needs to create a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, compelling tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands to seek refuge in Egypt or the Gulf . . . Gaza will become a place where no human being can exist.”

- Giora Eiland, Israeli Army Reservist Major General and adviser to the Israeli Defence Minister

BREAKING: Ruchell Magee, who some consider the longest-held political prisoner in the world, has been granted release in California!

Magee has faced 53 years of wrongful imprisonment that ties way back to the persecution of George and Jonathan Jackson, & Angela Davis.

🧵⬇️ Image Magee, now 84-years old, spent almost all of his life since the age of 16 in prison.

He was first arrested in 1955 and tried in a deeply racist, Jim Crow case in Louisiana due to his relationship with a white woman and spent roughly 8 years in Louisiana’s Angola prison. Image

Diabetes is the 7th highest cause of death in the US, killing over 100,000 people a year.

Over 100 million Americans have diabetes or pre-diabetes.

Cuba has a diabetes treatment that could save tens of thousands of lives.

The US is currently blocking that treatment.

1/9 The treatment is called Heberprot-P and it reverses the effect of diabetic foot ulcers, a common complication for diabetics.

Foot ulcers are wounds that require amputation if left untreated.

Diabetics who get amputations live an average of just five years after the amputation.

You probably saw this viral Instagram post claiming that the Iranian government sentenced 15,000 protesters to death.

The post got almost 900,000 likes before being taken down for false info but the incident proved how disinformation can be used to manufacture consent for war 1/ Image The graphic was based on false reporting based on a Newsweek article.

The Newsweek article cited a CNN article as proof that Iran’s parliament voted to execute 15,000 protestors. The only problem? The CNN article said nothing about 15,000 executions. Image

Chairs of three Congressional committees just sent a letter to President Biden demanding he lift sanctions against Cuba following Hurricane Ian.

U.S. sanctions prevent Cuba from importing construction materials that they need to rebuild.

1/7 The sanctions against Cuba are a relic of the Cold War and were imposed immediately after the Cuban people overthrew US-backed dictator, Fulgencio Batista.

The sanctions prohibit US companies from selling to Cuba, and block foreign companies that trade with Cuba from US markets.
