"I am not saying I won't fight anymore, indeed. I am saying that I don't want war anymore. I want the end of the siege. You walk to the beach at sunset, and you see all these teenagers on the shore chatting and wondering what the world looks like across the sea. What life looks like. It's breaking. And should break everybody. I want them free."

When she arrived home, her older brother was frantically going through all their books which had political propaganda in them, burning them as discretely as he could. "He looked like he was on the verge of a colapse, but smiled at me when he got home and asked me kindly to close all the curtains in the house".

She remembers the screams in the middle of the night- a couple of twins who were her neighbours and university students as well as their dad was taken. They never saw them again.

There are a lot of things she hasn't told me but I notice them anyway. She always hated September 19, when the military would stage a giant parade. She would stay home, with just a candle to accompany her, and I would stay at her side because I loved her and I didn't want her to be alone.

In October under the protests, she couldn't sleep- the army was out at all times and helicopters flew so low we were worried it would crash down the house. I stayed with her for a week - I would protest during the day and I'd come home with her looking pale and crying.

September 11 is a day of rememberance and pain. We will not forget what happened and we will fight for those of us who never came back.

This is what the US has done, is currently doing and will continue to do not just in the global south and the east, but within its own fucking borders too, to American leftists (the red scare, anyone?), Black Americans, Indigenous Americans, and non-white immigrants on American soil. You, as a republican, love and support all of the pain op and I are describing here and WORSE. Don't you fucking dare use us like this.

And in case it wasn't clear; you're right! This IS the future under democrats! AND under republicans! They're both the same shit under a different name! They're both right-wing parties controlled by and for the most privileged Americans to support and expand the American empire, both with blood on their hands by the MILLIONS! They're both fascist genocidal parties!

You're such a self-centered piece of shit for taking the suffering of tens of thousands of real people and using it to further your stupid propaganda, as if republicans aren't DROOLING to continue to do this all over the world just as much as democrats are.

—salvador allende’s final speech, 9/11/73

this week marks the 47th anniversary of the US-backed overthrow of salvador allende. allende was the first latin american marxist to be elected president in a liberal democracy. under allende, universal healthcare, tuition-free education, minimum wage, worker safety protections, free school lunches for children, and other socialist programs were implemented. according to the national bureau of economic research, blue collar wages rose 56% in 1971.

after allende moved to nationalize chile’s US owned industries and align with socialist cuba, nixon (who’d already been carefully monitoring allende’s rise) gave direct orders to the CIA and the US state department to “put pressure” on allende’s government. while the US publicly worked to sabotage chile’s economy with trade restrictions and aid denial, the CIA secretly collaborated with reactionary forces in the country to undermine allende’s credibility and ultimately overthrow him in a bloody coup.

They went there with no manager, coach, sponsors and donated uniforms. And they made history. Feliz día de la jugadora, gracias por tanto, perdón por tan poco ❤️🇦🇷
