Happy Indigenous Peoples' Resistance Day

Maria Machado represents the interests of the criollo/white ethnoclass that has dominated the region after our so-called independence and has always aligned itself with imperialism. It’s not surprising that Machado uses white nationalist rhetoric and defends western civilization.

While Trump kidnaps, dehumanizes, & deports Venezuelan immigrants, Maria Corina Machado dedicates the Nobel Peace Prize to him to give license to an invasion. This just gives you a glimpse of whose interests Machado is defending, and they’re not those of the people of Venezuela.

The Nobel Peace Prize should put Zohran Mamdani’s statement on Venezuela into perspective for those who were unwilling to listen to the critiques we made. But I’m convinced that far too many won’t ever give up their imperial worldview, way of being, and indifference.

The Nobel Peace Prize is a license to wage war

“They’re not going to give in unless there is a real, credible threat—a severe, imminent threat. And the only threat that makes them yield is the threat of the use of international force.”

The Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Corina Machado referring to the Venezuelan government.

Over 40 million people around the world have died because of US and European sanctions since 1970. Anyone who calls for sanctions on their country is calling for the death of their people.

Please submit your proposals to the Decolonial Conference by October 12!!!

Lotta people jumping to celebrate this award without actually checking some things 👇

A reminder that US sanctions against Venezuela resulted in 40,000 deaths from 2017 to 2018 alone (@jasonhickel). That’s what Maria Corina Machado supports and that’s why she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

If you support US sanctions against Venezuela, you also support sanctioned death.

Actually, she’s a supporter of sanctioned death and a staunch supporter of Israel.

A supporter of genocide and genocidal ethnonationalist state won the Nobel Peace Prize.

Friends and comrades made a crowdfunding page for my family.

It’s really hard to post this. I know that there are a lot of other important issues asking for money but things have gotten to the point where we need to open ourselves up to your support.

Thank you for your consideration.

Zohran Mamdani has the Palestinian protest movement to thank for his win | Heba Gowayed The Democratic socialist’s victory in the New York City primary elections shows support for Palestine is not a liability

To write with urgency, to write poetically, to write with affect that moves the reader to action requires giving up the careerist and opportunist game academia loves to play as the world burns around its ivory towers.

The fact of the matter is that Zohran Mamdani gained momentum from the movement he is distancing himself from and thus alienating, particularly at a moment when it has become relatively easy to win the mayoral election.

Never forget that mainstream media, the Democratic Party, and academia all repeated the false claims about the 40 beheaded babies.

I’ll never condemn a people who resist an occupying power.

Colonial powers have always portrayed anti-colonial resistance as savagery, barbarism, and terrorism.

A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing an essay; it cannot be so refined, so leisurely and gentle, so temperate, kind, courteous, restrained and magnanimous. A revolution is an insurrection…

—Mao Tse-tung

Operation Al-Aqsa Flood resulted in a paradigmatic shift. It resurrected the Manichean world in the minds of people who naively thought it had ceased to exist. It brought raw conceptual clarity in a world full of liberal deceptions, illusions, and distortions.

Never forget about October 6 and the decades of occupation.
