Bridge was destroyed by USA as a false flag to distract from their operatives getting caught doing terrorism in Russia.
Yes I got first!
Well, kind of.
Here's a photo from yesterday's demonstration in memory of the Coup of 1976. Meanwhile, the government, through official channels, officially challenged the 30,000 victims number of the dictatorship and uploaded their own video which tries to "tell the whole story", which goes like there was a war and "the other side" were bloodlust terrorists (Even though by the time the coup happened, the guerrillas were all battered) and the actual number of disappeared people is 8,700 and there's no genocide. This is the first time ever in which a government has made a very clear genocide denial case, at least regarding this case of genocide in particular (This government also denies there's a genocide in Palestine and also it is common for many governments to deny that the "Conquest of the Desert", the expansion of the State through native lands in Patagonia, constitutes a genocide). This is extremely dangerous.
CENTCOM is claiming Ansarallah struck a Chinese-owned ship with multiple missiles
Anybody see anything about this from a source that isn't the great satan?
Corina Yoris, the candidate chosen by the Venezuelan opposition to replace Maria Corina Machado, has complained that she is not being allowed to register as a candidate. "My rights as a Venezuelan citizen are being violated".
With just a few hours to go until the deadline, the opposition parties authorized by the CNE to register candidates are unable to access the registration system. During Yoris' speech, the campaign put up a television to prove that the system is not accepting registrations.
Yoris is opposed to socialism and communism; she says that the free market regulates prices, that communism was responsible for the death of millions and that the ideology resulted with Venezuela becoming divided.
Holy shit, they keep choosing the most unpopular dipshit to run against Maduro. Her wikipedia page was created literally 2 days ago, she lacks a spanish version of it.

New media blitz discussing rape and sexual assault of israeli hostages during captivity by Hamas. The account quite frankly seems believable enough at first blush. Hamas has apparently released a response criticizing the account's truthfulness, but of course the western press isn't covering that with any kind of detail (such that I can't even find it!) and instead uncritically repeating the claims of the victim and Israeli politicians bloviating about why they have to continue genocide "tO sAvE tHe HoStAgEs" as if their operations have anything to do with that at this point.
Even if the allegations are true, which is at least plausible, the timing and media strategy seems more in response to the recent UN ceasefire vote than actually seeking justice in any meaningful sense of the word.
also seems like bangladeshi strikes petered out cause they arrested organizers they seem to be having medical professionals strike now.
Which reminds me, wtf happened to south korea licensing strikes?
Remember when Trump did his infrastructure week
Good times
There were protests in Argentina and Brazil against their respective dictatorships and in favor of democracy. Milei, being the smartest man, decides to say that the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo movement (which is a movement in favor of democracy, progressive ideas and justice) lied about the victims of the dictatorship. Ancap President defending a dictatorship to own the zurditos.
Meanwhile, in Brazil, Lula da Silva simply banned the army from holding any commemorations, as they were doing during the right-wing governments of Bolsonaro and Micheal Temer. You could say that this is an L for Lula, since he could promote a mega pro-democracy demonstration or you could say that this is pragmatic. The Workers' Party will still take part in the organic demonstration on the 30th.
It seems Germany restored UNWRA funding and increased it? It's like 45-50 Million USD too. Shouldn't have paused it in the first place but I'm kind of surprised. I think the US might be the only nation left which didn't restore funding at this point.
Denmark is selling 24 vintage F-16 warplanes, scheduled to be replaced with F-35's to Argentina. In all likelihood the sale is made on orders from Washington as the evil empire is afraid that China will get the deal, causing American power over Argentina to fade.
Some politicians are angry that the warplanes were not given to Ukraine, like it has already happened with 19 other planes. However Washington chose differently and the Danish government is happy to oblige their masters.

In 1999, NATO forces carried out airstrikes for 78 days against Yugoslavia, leaving over 8,000 civilians dead or injured.
On Sunday, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said that his country will never surrender its province of Kosovo and Metohija nor join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
On the Remembrance Day for the Victims of the NATO Aggression on Yugoslavia, people gathered in Prokuplje to pay tribute to the victims of the NATO bombings.
"They wanted to destroy our homeland, to destroy Serbia and dismember it, but they failed," Vucic said at a commemoration event marking the anniversary of NATO bombing.
"25 years have passed, and we remain unbroken... We will never consent to the dismemberment of Serbia! Kosovo and Metohija shall never willingly be torn from us," he stressed. Kosovo unilaterally declared independence from Serbia in 2008. Serbia rejects it and considers Kosovo its own province.
The event began with a somber commemoration led by Serbian Orthodox Church Patriarch Porfirije, who later stressed in his speech that the bombing revealed "the depth of human cruelty when one chooses to abandon humanity."
President of Republika Srpska Milorad Dodik condemned NATO's violation of international law and disregard for innocent lives, while praising Serbia's defiance and resilience.
"We remain dignified people who cherish our freedom," Dodik said, emphasizing the importance of unity as reflected in the widespread observance of the Remembrance Day.
In 1999, the U.S.-led NATO forces carried out continuous airstrikes for 78 days against Yugoslavia, leaving over 8,000 civilians dead or injured and nearly 1 million more displaced.
Cluster bombs and depleted uranium bombs banned by international conventions were used in the strikes, which also caused wide destruction of infrastructure.
Ecuador's youngest mayor, Brigitte Garcia, was assassinated on Saturday, along with municipal network communicator Jairo Loor. Garcia was 27 and was elected last year by the Citizen Revolution, Rafael Correa's party.
Brigitte Garcia was mayor of the municipality of San Vicente, in the province of Manabi. The former presidential candidate for the Citizens' Revolution, Luisa Gonzalez, condemned what she called a political assassination.
The president of Ecuador, Daniel Noboa, lamented the death and linked it to drug trafficking, which "wants to bring the state to its knees", and said that he would not be intimidated by these violent acts. The authorities have yet to clarify the motives behind the murder.
