"Yesterday, 252 Venezuelan men who had been held in CECOT concentration camp were flown to Venezuela. ...
In exchange for the return to Venezuela of those men, Maduro released dozens of political prisoners and 10 US citizens or permanent residents. ...

Mass #deportations. AI replacing workers. Social programs slashed. War budgets soaring.
This isn’t chaos—it’s a strategy. The capitalist elite is using repression, automation, and #nationalism to squeeze #labor, crush resistance, and prop up a collapsing global system.
From Gaza to your grocery store, the dots connect. The fight against #fascism *is* the fight against #capitalism.
