Speaking of inexcusable: the EU out of the gate with a nonsensical statement.
I have spoken with Secretary of State Marco Rubio and our Ambassador in Caracas. The EU is closely monitoring the situation in Venezuela.
The EU has repeatedly stated that Mr Maduro lacks legitimacy and has defended a peaceful transition. (1/2)

The Imperialists will not stop until they're stopped. There is no norm or law which can tame total impunity. Impunity has no conscience. It has no need of one. The only way to stop them is ultimately for the apparatuses of impunity to be broken and their commanders' power nullified.

This will be a somewhat didactic post, but as much as possible, it really is the time to make sure you’ve a robust account of racism, sexism, ableism, and so on. Study the history thoughtfully and abandon easy notions, especially with the return of race science. It’s returning for a reason.

Note to future researchers. History of biology is probably the craziest and most interesting history of science (you essentially have to deal with all of them), but god damn is it not good for someone’s health, especially the late 19th century and like all of the 20th century.
