In July, I went to a village in Michoacán, Mexico destroyed by combat between cartels the Trump administration categorized as Foreign Terrorist Organizations.
What did I find? Bullets produced in a US Army factory and used by those very same FTOs.

The United States is committed to countering China’s corrupt influence in Central America. Today the @StateDept is announcing a new visa restriction policy that will restrict U.S. visas for Central American nationals, and their immediate family members, who are intentionally acting on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party and threatening our region's stability.

Asesinaron a otro gran compañero luchador social, luchaba por la vida, contra el extractivismo. Muere criminalizado, sin que se investigaran las amenazas que recibía constantemente, muere sin que el Estado cumpliera la medida cautelar de la CIDH que ordenaba proteger su vida.

NEW EPISODE | Honduran former president Juan Orlando Hernández has been convicted of drug trafficking. The US and Canada remain unaccountable for their role in propping up his narco-state. Host @mfox_us speaks with @springkj of @hondurassol @HondurasNow. nacla.org/under-shadow-updat…

GUILTY! Juan Orlando Hernandez is guilty on all three counts.
Now, we continue to demand a trial holding the U.S. & Canada’s accountable for all the support they gave a convicted drug trafficker over so many years #USCanadaOnTrial #Honduras #JOHGuilty.

One of the most shocking revelations of the drugs trial against the former Honduran President: the Israeli embassy in Colombia allegedly laundered between $100-150 million USD for Mexican drug traffickers.

The most important press freedom case in the world will be decided *this week.*
This journalist has been in a London prison for almost five years for exposing state criminality.
If the UK sends to the country he exposed he will die in a US prison cell.
This week the UK will decide. It’s now or never. Defend Assange. His life and the future of journalism depend on it.
