This warning from David Letterman to the media from just a year ago feels sadly too relevant today. He is right: You can't appease a tyrant.

Respectfully, “give me what I want or I’ll elect more Republicans” isn’t the winning strategy. We all want to change the country for the better - the first step to any meaningful change is getting the GOP out of power. That’s the only way anything works.

It's not just fishing boats. US-led military interventions are escalating across Latin America. And it’s nothing new. The US has conducted nearly 400 foreign military interventions since 1776 — or, one every seven months, for 250 years. crushingcolonialism.org/abya-yala-un...
Text: Global Indigenous News | Abya Yala Under Fire: The Return of US Military Intervention | By Phil Mandelbaum and Natalia Molina

Photo: A group of people stands on a rural road, some holding flags and sticks, with trees and greenery on either side. Debris is scattered on the road, and a person in the foreground looks on.Text: Military bombings began just three days after President Abelardo De La Espriella took office on August 7 in "Colombia," in Abya Yala ("Latin America"). The first strikes took place on August 10 in Catatumbo, in the country's northeast, where three civilians were wounded and hundreds were displaced. Bombings and threats of further military strikes have since followed, including in Cauca, in the west, where Indigenous, Afro-descendant, and campesino communities are facing an escalating humanitarian crisis. (NEW PARAGRAPH) The opposition has questioned the constitutionality of the President's decision, calling it a “relinquishment of sovereignty.”

Photo: Two people walk hand in hand down a narrow grassy path surrounded by green plants and trees, with a small house visible in the backgroundText: In June, "Venezuela" collaborated with the "U.S." in a military operation that authorities said targeted alias "Niño Guerrero," a longtime figure associated with the Tren de Aragua. Independent reporting has raised questions about what happened during the strike, including the circumstances of Guerrero's reported death and potential civilian casualties. (NEW PARAGRAPH) In March, "Ecuador" announced that it had launched its "U.S."-backed military operations against Los Lobos, Los Choneros and other Ecuadorian groups the "U.S." has labeled "foreign terrorist organizations.” Perhaps the most infamous of the attacks was the bombing of Fiorella, a fishing boat that "vanished without a trace, along with the eight Ecuadorian men on board." Prior to their disappearance, they had reported seeing drones and a ship with "U.S." markings.

Photo: A young woman in traditional dress with face paint stands outdoors, holding a cup with both hands. She wears a beaded belt and necklace, surrounded by lush, green foliage.Text: The "United States" has a long history of violent international intervention in Abya Yala, and throughout the world. (NEW PARAGRAPH) According to the Military Intervention Project (MIP) at Tufts University's Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, the "U.S." has conducted nearly 400 military interventions since 1776 — or, one every seven months, for 250 years. Thirty-four percent of the invasions have occurred in Abya Yala. More than 65,000 have died — and this figure doesn't account for "the deaths and disappearances caused by the military dictatorships of the 20th century, in which tens of thousands of people were tortured and murdered."

Photo: A dirt road lined with wooden houses leads up a hill in a rural village, surrounded by lush green trees and vegetation. People are walking along the road and standing near the houses.
