In 2019, @undertheshadow.bsky.social reported: “The call to replace Maduro has become a rallying cry for the Latin American right.”

At the time, the USA & Brazil coordinated with right-wing governments across Latin America to declare Guaidó president in Venezuela.

The word for this isn’t justice. The word for this isn’t capture. The words are “illegal kidnapping” and “declaration of war.”

Throughout this entire ‘antifa’ red scare MAGA has consistently spoken about this alleged terrorist threat as if they simultaneously know a lot about it but also as if they’re awaiting a full report that will never come.

It’s obviously a strategy to seem knowledgeable without having to back it up.
GLASHEEN: Antifa is our primary concern right now. That's the most immediate violent threat we're facing

BENNIE THOMPSON: Where is antifa headquartered?

GLASHEEN: ... ... ... we are building out the infrastructure right now

THOMPSON: What does that mean?

On Nov. 18, dozens of community members were alerted to an immigration raid at a warehouse in St. Paul. Within minutes of federal agents with ICE, the DEA and FBI arriving at the workplace, a rapid response network mobilized to confront the agents. A week later, a rally denounced the raid.

In case people tell you that public criticism of the court doesn’t matter, here’s Brett Kavanaugh trying to walk back what he said in the ICE roving patrol case - when he blessed racial profiling & called the stops prompt.

He was lambasted; @akalhan.bsky.social coined the term “Kavanaugh stops”
