Some more information about Venezuela that I found out through one of my good friends (she’s Venezuelan, she immigrated here a few years ago and she shares a lot of stuff about what’s happening in her home country).

The Venezuelan government is imprisoning everyone who says anything against Maduro or the government in social media. People who have made videos talking about the ongoing situation are deleting them because the government is already looking for them. People who appeared in videos of the protests are being incarcerated.

Even some Venezuelans in another countries are afraid of speaking up in fear that the police will go get their families.

Maduro has decided (and is already on it) to build 2 maximum security prisons to incarcerate anyone who goes against the corrupted government and torture them. He did not build a single hospital during his presidency, but he can build 2 prisons to imprison civilians… interesting.

(This information is taken from this Instagram video, I simply translated what the original poster is saying.)

“Memory was at the heart of this project, the personal memory of a family, the collective memory of a country. We live in a moment where memory is being erased as a project, as a project of power, so to create memory I think it is extremely important at this stage. Journalism creates memory, literature creates memory, songs creates memories and films can also do that, in fact with what we do we can fight the possibility of oblivion and I think that's really important”

I have a theory, and this is based more on a hunch and my understanding of history because I would love to see it supported by data and more analysis, that the United States not only acted against Latin America for its natural resources and to keep hegemony, but also to sink future competition.

After World War II, the major industrial centers of the world were completely destroyed... EXCEPT for the United States AND Latin America. Latin America, or at least in the case of Argentina, was always in a conflict between the landowner classes who wanted to keep the agrarian neo-feudal export economy inherited from colonial times and the interests who wanted to industrialize their country and wanted political, social and economic progress. Being untouched by the global conflict, this was the prime moment for Latin American nations to begin industrialization.

Argentina and Chile, with relatively developed educational systems and increasingly especialized industries, could have grown to the equivalents of Italy or even Japan. Mexico could have also developed its industry, it is, in fact, one of the main manufacturers right now. And in particular Brazil, with a huge population, natural resources and emerging industry, would have emerged not only as a peer but as an outright rival to the United States.

This was unacceptable. So the interventions did not only had the intention of keeping US influence, but actually to destroying Latin American development in a key point so that the United States would keep its hegemony. I don't think it was a coordinated thought, I don't think Truman or Einsenhower said "GO SINK LATIN AMERICA", but I do believe this was part of the intention; not only to keep hegemony but also to keep possibly 'unfriendly' economies from developing.

Perón knew this, which was why he insisted in the nationalization and development of industry and the union of Latin America in his thought. I believe many other marxists and peronist and peronarxists (you know how it is with Argentina) here and in the rest of Latin America have written about this. I have to read more when I get the time.

The original blog who screenshotted and shared this here has disabled the reblog so I'm going to repost in order to try to navigate the racism that is underneath this tweet.

About the claim of this tweet there is nothing more to say that the comparison is unacceptable not only because it lacks of any logic but also because trivialize the monstrosity of what genocide represent. Genocide is only equivalent to genocide, as the propaganda is an fundamental axis that allows genocide, its is a constitutive part of it. Nothing is equivalent or can be compared. This person is trivializing the genocide to people of Palestine while doing this comparison. Insult the victim with the only goal to make a point about the result of a tournament they didn’t like for any reason.

Argentina with all its political flaws and problems haven’t used football as political propaganda since 1978 (last dictatorship). And were Argentinians themselves those who have made a critical revision of the 1978 world cup, we don’t need someone from outside come to explain or call out what happened. Historiography has made their part and is part of the history teached in schools. 

President Milei's use of football is related to reform Argentinians football clubs from civil associations to shareholders of S.A. Argentina football clubs traditions are related to social purposes. Clubs like Boca Juniors and River Plate (the bigger) aren’t only about football but hold other types of sports, their objective of existence is to be a space where neighbors of the club (in the beginning of their history) can do sport. Sports clubs belong to their associates, who are the thousands of fans who follow their team. Milei and Macri want to allow the big shareholders to buy these clubs.the extractionist economic model but applied to football.

What this person in the tweet doesn't understand because of their ignorance and their contempt against our people is that football has a colonialist matrix as well. Football players are human resources that Europe takes from our clubs. That is why the players of Argentina National Team (the FIFA N°1) all come from big european clubs or usamericans club with lots of money. But they didn't started their career there, they were bought from clubs from Argentina, and they started when they were childs in small sport clubs that only exist to give working class people a chance to do sport. The first coach of Angen Di María was someone like many others that use their free time to teach childrens football, they don’t even live from that activity, because it is a social activity, not a business. Our football world champions come from working class families, they, like the huge majority of this country, are also descendants from those Europeans that came running away from poverty and those indigenous people who suffered the colonia. And if they weren’t the superstars they are, they were victims of racism because of their latinamerican condition. 

Argentina, like the rest of the countries of the world, has hierarchies based in economics, social and ethical status. As a country that is the result of European colonialism, still struggles with that inheritance. To this person, who may not like the Argentina National Team for random reasons, we seem like the only country that doesn’t deserve to win a tournament because of that. News for you, this is football, there is no “deserve”, you either win or lose. But talking about justice, it is fair that a country that is the home of the players gets to win. Not like European countries that win the world cup with the sons of those immigrants they so much hate, while African countries still struggle to position themselves in the tournament. 

The Argentina National Team has its flaws, but they still represent the working class people of this country and their dreams. They chose to celebrate the America cup with the prop guy, not like the Spain National Team that bent their knees to the king. And yes our current president is a pro Israel (and while in the protest against him the flag of Palestine flys) the National Team refused to celebrate the cup with him. 

And the fact that a third world country with players that come from working class families won, still has a meaning to the rest of the world that celebrated with us the 2022 victory in Qatar. We made that victory a huge popular celebration in the streets and everyone was welcome to celebrate with us. You won’t ever find a Argentina National Team fan that will tell someone from another country that they can’t use our jersey. With all our flaws, we still hold football as the sport of working class people. I guess some people can’t just understand it.

El regimen de la dictadura de bukele en El Salvador ha empezado a hacer persecucion politica, ahora de manera publica y descarada.

Hace unos dias, Fidel Zavala, activista y defensor de los derechos humanos salvadoreños y parte de una ONG fue re-encarcelado y se le adjunto el delito de "agrupaciones ilicitas" bajo la excusa de que por que la ong en la que labora (UNIDEHC o Unidad de Defensa de Derechos Humanos y Comunitarios de El Salvador) no estan legalmente constituida, por lo que la fiscalia los declaro y posteo en sus redes como "estafadores"

Fidel horas antes habia ido a dejar una denuncia por la captura arbitraria de Medardo Rodriguez y Alejandra Cañas, lideres comunitarios de La Floresta, San Juan Opico. De igual manera, Jose Alberto Perez y Maria Margarita Flamenco fueron arrestados luego de acompañarlo a presentar la denuncia.

Hace un año igualmente habia impuesto una denuncia en contra del director de centros penales y directores de las carceles por delitos de tortura y asesinamientos despues de haber estado preso por 13 meses ya que se le acusaba de estafa, pero fue absuelto de este ya que se demostro su inocencia.

Ahora el regimen lo ha recapturado de manera arbitraria a el tambien, estubo por horas amarrado afuera del edificio de la UNIDEHC mientras los policias allanaban tanto el edificio como la casa de una de las abogadas de la ONG, Ivania Cruz. A la cual le abrieron la puerta a la fuerza y se llevaron pertenencias de la familia.

Multiples organizaciones como Cristosal, Comunidad Santa Marta, el Bloque de Resistencia Popular, el Movimiento de Victimas del Regimen como tambien organizaciones internacionales se han pronunciado en contra de el suceso.

Esta es una prueba mas de hacia donde se dirige El Salvador, una prueba mas de los arrestos arbitrarios y persecucion politica que puede sufrir cualquier salvadoreño unicamente por no querer someterse ni aceptar mas crimenes de parte de la dictadura.

LIBERTAD PARA FIDEL ZAVALA, LIBERTAD PARA LOS INOCENTES

National Quilting Day

A quilt is a type of bed cover, traditionally composed of three layers of fiber, a woven cloth top, a layer of batting or wadding, and a woven back, combined using the technique of quilting. A quilt is distinguishable from other types of blankets because it is pieced together with several pieces of cloth.

National Quilting Day recognizes quiltmakers and their quilt-making abilities. The word ‘quilt’ comes from the Latin word ‘culcita,’ which means stuffed sack, it became adapted to the English language from the French word ‘cuilte.’

Quilting practices can be found in almost every area of the world and it is celebrated on the third Saturday in March every year. The National Quilting Association started National Quilting Day in 1991 and since then it has grown into a global celebration for all quilt lovers and makers.

History of National Quilting Day

Quilting refers to the technique of joining at least two fabric layers by stitches or ties. The quilting practice dates back as far as 3400 B.C. It was mainly a practical technique that provided physical protection and insulation. However, decorative elements were often also present and many quilts are now primarily art pieces.

In the United States, quiltmaking was common in the late 17th century and early years of the 18th century. In these times, only the wealthy had the time to practice quilting so it was done by only a few persons. Commercial blankets or woven coverlets were a more economical bed covering for most people unlike the colonial quilt bed covering which displayed the fine needlework of the maker, such as the Baltimore album quilts. Presently, quilting is now a popular hobby, with an estimated base of twenty-one million quilters.

The oldest example of a quilted piece is kept at the Saint Petersburg department of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Archaeology section. It is a linen carpet that was found in a Mongolian cave, between 100 B.C. and 200 A.D.

The origin of the quilting day can be traced to the Quilters Day Out, which was organized by the Kentucky Heritage Quilt Society in 1989 to celebrate the ancient tradition and its practice in the state of Kentucky. Two years later, this event became so popular that the National Quilting Association decided to declare an official holiday for quilting. From this day, the name changed from Quilters Day Out to National Quilting Day. Over the years, this event has attracted people to celebrate from all over the world and participate in helping to build and maintain the global heritage of quilting.

The first remnants of quilting were dated to 3400 B.C., showing that this art form had existed far into pre-history. They were traded extensively until sometime in the 12th century when these types of trade goods were returned from the Middle East by the Crusaders. Since then, it had become an integral part of the Colonial textile arts and one of the things they were well known for.

It’s a day to understand its symbolism: Quilts often symbolize resourcefulness, as quilters use what resources are available to them to make a quilt covering. They also symbolize heritage.

This October 12 we stand in remembrance of one of the most iconic and symbolic moments in recent Spanish history:

[elbiotipo]

vistes que hasta messi está enojado con milei ahora? messi que es un monje asceta que no se posiciona para nada que no sea jugar a la pelota está enojado con milei. cosas extrañas están pasando

Messi y la Scaloneta están enojados con el gobierno porque el Chiqui Mafia Tapia siempre los bancó cuando tuvieron todo en contra. Igual no me cae muy bien el chiqui Tapia, no sé todo el bardo atrás pero hace décadas que la AFA está mal manejada. Pero si querés cambiar el fútbol argentino se me hace que no es empezar por ahí. O si querés cortar la cabeza hacelo bien, porque no jodamos, no es que se meten con la AFA porque están en contra de la corrupción y mejorar el fútbol, es porque quieren privatizar el fútbol estilo Europa y tener clubes comprados por empresarios extranjeros (y ellos sacan las migas)

Capaz exageran el malestar en la Selección pero lo que daría por ver qué alguno se mueva y putee al gobierno de onda.

Supongo que tengo que agradecer igual que Messi no se meta en política, porque un Messi mileísta sería aterrador. Pero también me da un poco de bronca está selección que es TAN apolítica que más que argentinos a veces parecen un club extranjero. Esto era la selección en 2001, cuando López Murphy quizo privatizar las universidades:

Yo sé que a Messi nunca lo voy a ver así, y tampoco lo voy a ver defendiendo muchas otras cosas. Pero bueno, nunca vamos a tener otro Maradona tampoco, con fallas y todo él siempre supo de dónde vino.
