People need to understand.
What's happening in the USA is not a random russian clown accidentally destroying the country.

It's a pre-planned revolution by the billionaire oligarchs.
They know #climate catastrophe is hitting hard.

Their plan is not to share some of their Ill gotten wealth to help everyone survive.

Every year they go to #davros and plan how to kill off at least 1/3rd of us. They no longer need uncounted millions to run their factories or fight in their wars.

This is why #Democrats write a "strongly worded letter" while agent #Krasnov is destroying #US and why billionaires are complicit and pit us against each other.

Today in labor history April 29, 1895: The U.S. sent warships to Nicaragua to "protect" US interests. This was the first of many military interventions in that country. President Taft ordered the overthrow of President Zelaya in 1909. The U.S. later invaded in 1910 and occupied the country in 1912. However, the original Sandinistas defeated that occupation in 1933. But Sandino’s victory was short-lived because Anastasio Somoza assassinated him in 1934. Somoza brutally ruled Nicaragua for the next forty years, until the new Sandinistas overthrew him in 1979. And then, again, the U.S. intervened. This time, by funding the right-wing Contras. Later, when Congress blocked aid to the Contras, Reagan secretly funded them with illegal arms shipments to Iran.

Today in labor history April 29, 1899: Members of the Western Federation of Miners (WFM) seized a train, loaded it with 3,000 pounds of dynamite, and drove it into the Bunker Hill mine in Wardner, Idaho because the mine owners refused to respect their demand to hire only union men. They completely destroyed the $250,000 colliery. President McKinley responded by sending in black soldiers from Brownsville, Texas. He ordered them to round up the miners and imprison them in specially built "bullpens." From 1899 to 1901, the U.S. Army occupied most of the Coeur d'Alene mining region in Idaho. The WFM was led by Big Bill Haywood, who would go on to cofound the more radical IWW, in 1905, along with Mother Jones, Lucy Parsons, Eugene Debs, and others.

Today in labor history April 29, 1919: From April 29 to May 2, government forces in Munich violently crushed the Republic of the Councils of Bavaria. Workers, socialists, anarchists, and sympathizers bravely resisted. However, the Freikorps and the White Guards of Capitalism prevailed. They killed hundreds in the fighting and executed over 1,000 anarchists and communists in the aftermath.
