studying is my drug, but i say no to drugs

As someone who taught U.S. history, I always made sure not to mince words when it came to the U.S. and the variety of governments that the CIA helped overthrow, nor the atrocities they condoned due to their inaction (particularly Latin American tragedies because that's what I was writing my senior essay on). For more information on CIA involvement within Central and South America I would recommend the Massacre at El Mozote by Danner which discusses the hushed massacre of a small community in the Los Altos (now split between Guatemala and mexico). Alternatively, Mexico Beyond 1968 by Pensado and Ochoa is a great read which was utilized for my paper. Also, keep a lookout for "The Dictators Balls: Rafael Trujillo and U.S. Dominican relations by Moulton , which is currently under peer review and examines the usage of golf tournaments by Dominican dictator Trujillo to broker deals with American diplomats. Additionally, for some primary sources you can access the LITEMPO and PB SUCCESS collections in the nsa archives for free, as they have been unclassified and released online for public view.

wait….are any americans aware that the cia overthrew the democratically-elected premier of iran in 1953 because he wouldn’t concede to western oil demands….and how that coup was the reason for the shah’s return to power, the iranian revolution, and the resulting fundamentalist dictatorship…..like, america literally dissolved iranian democracy and no one knows about it???

Hiding government and public services to reduce how much they're used and "prove" that they're unneeded is a tried and true Republican technique. It's not a conspiracy, these things are deliberately made difficult to access to discourage people from using them because "more use = more funding" and "less use = less funding" is how public service funding is generally decided.

Musk outright lying about "deleting" a whole IRS program for low income tax filing is just a progression of common Republican tactics. Don't fall for it.

Tragedy enjoyers when characters haunt the narrative, when nothing can be done to save them, when small moments of respite and happiness only serve to send them closer to their inevitable end
