#LATINOAMERICA

Ok, saying this because it seems some of you desperately need to hear it.

Neither Latino nor Hispanic are races or ethnicities. Someone from Spain and someone from Peru won't have the same ethnic background. Hell, two people from Peru may not even have the same ethnic background! Being Hispanic means you speak Spanish, nothing else. And latinoamerica is a region (and an incredibly diverse one too), not a race.

Some of you just label anything that isn't Usamerican an ethnicity because you see the US as the default.

I hope that no one takes the posts that I reblogged as meaning that I don't care about what happened on 9/11 in the USA. I remember being 3 years old and watching television and not understanding what was happening but crying when I saw so much suffering.

However, I do believe that it is important to give MUCH more visibility to the military coup in Chile than what the media gives it on this date (Both happened on the same day, different years). It is worrying how the entire world only talks about what happened in the USA while many, including the gringos themselves, do not even know what their own government did not only in Chile but throughout Latin America. The millions of dead and missing people that affect us to this day. Look for Operation Condor if want to know what happened here not that long ago.

"Never forget" seems like a phrase only applicable to the United States and the rest of the "first world", while the crimes committed here by their imperialist governments seem irrelevant in their school history books.

Las fuerzas de ocupación "israelíes" dejaron estos explosivos, disfrazados de latas de comida, para engañar a los hambrientos Palestinos de Khan Younis. Explotan en el momento que se abren.

"As in previous wars, women aided both Mexican and foreign troops during the French Intervention. Some women fought alongside their male counterparts, while others looked at French troops as employers and marriage partners. The invasion by France started when Spain, England, and France occupied the customshouse in Vera Cruz in 1861-1862 in order to collect revenue to pay claims against Mexico. The French decided to stay in Mexico and create a new French empire in America. It was not until 1867 that the Mexicans were able to expel them.

Ignacia Reachy distinguished herself in the ranks. Reachy, who was born in Guadalajara about 1816, started a women's battalion to defend the city against the French. Col. Antonio Rojas gave her a pair of riding boots while Colonel Gonzalez presented her with the uniform of a second lieutenant. She left Guadalajara to join the Army of the East. Her friend Gen. Ignacio Zaragoza put her in the Second Division under Gen. Jose Maria Arteaga. She fought well in the Battle of Acultzingo on April 28,1862. Reachy was captured by the French while covering the retreat of General Arteaga. After a year in prison she escaped and presented herself to Arteaga for more combat duty. She became a commander of the Lancers of Jalisco and continued to fight with great valor until killed in action in 1866. Reachy's story shows that there were soldiers and even some officers who welcomed women in the ranks.

Soldaderas were part of the successful Mexican forces that defeated French forces in Puebla on May 5, 1862. Every year the battle is re-created by the Zacapoaxtla Indians to commemorate the event. Yet by a strange twist of fate, only men are allowed to play all the roles, including those of the soldaderas. Each man "carries on his back a doll to represent a baby, and a small basket with food and water." The men dressed as soldaderas and carrying rifles also take part in the fighting. An antecedent for this "men only" ritual battle re-creation goes back to Mexica times when the Cihuacoatl (Snake Woman) or war chief had to dress in women's clothing when entering cities recently conquered. The continuation of this ritual shows that some native groups dominated by patriarchal views still distort woman's role in warfare."

Muy buenas, pequeño recordatorio de que ¡¡MADURO SECUESTRA NIÑOS!!

Desde el fraude electoral del 28 de Julio, el régimen de Nicolás Maduro ha secuestrado, matado y torturado a venezolanos inocentes, acusándolos de "terrorismo", muchos de los cuales son menores de edad.

El foro penal, anuncio que desde el 29 de julio al 28 de Agosto del 2024, 114 adolescentes de entre 14-17 fueron encarcelados por supuesto terrorismo, siendo puestos en cárceles para adultos, en condiciones inhumanas, sin derecho a un abogado y sin poder ver a sus familiares.

HAY NIÑOS QUE NO HAN VISTO A SUS FAMILIARES Y NI SABEN SI LOS VOLVERÁN A VER, NIÑOS QUE NI SIQUIERA SABEN POR QUÉ ESTÁN ALLÍ, NIÑOS QUE NI ESTABAN PROTESTANDO CUANDO LO SECUESTRO ESTA DICTADURA.

Afortunadamente, desde el pasado 29 de Agosto al 1º de septiembre, el foto penal ha verificado 86 excarcelaciones de adolescentes, detenidos el 29 de julio.

Lo cual me alegra, estoy feliz de que ellos hayan podido volver con sus familias, pero no tengo nada que agradecerle a Nicolás Maduro, ellos nunca debieron estar allí en primer lugar, y sin embargo 114 estuvieron detenidos por un mes (y algunos aun siguen allí).

Y aparte ¿necesito recordárles que Maduro dijo que crearía cárceles de máxima seguridad para "reeducar" a los opositores y ponerlos a trabajar de gratis? (básicamente CAMPOS DE CONCENTRACIÓN).

Maduro no solo es un secuestrador, también es un asesino, un dictador, un genocida y un criminal que debe pagar todo lo que le ha hecho a este país
