I may rant about certain American leftists but I don’t hate American leftists as a whole or think their cause is entirely pointless. I wouldn’t be on the site if that were the case.

The US probably won’t turn Communist in the near future but the American left can still educate and agitate while making gains in various sectors that need to be improved. It’s grueling work when organizing in the imperial core but every little bit does add up.

edit: just to be clear, I copy pasted the following original title from Al Jazeera's website. It's very alarming, but there is currently no evidence of an Israeli strike on Iranian nuclear sites, which would prompt Iran to "pursue nuclear weapons," as quoted. No need to panic yet

Manabí prison warden killed during referendum voting day in Ecuador

The murder of the head of the El Rodeo penitentiary is the third murder in five days of an authority in Ecuador, after the murders of two mayors of municipalities in the south of the country.

The director of a prison in Ecuador was murdered this Sunday, when the country is celebrating nationwide the voting day of the referendum called by the president of Ecuador, Daniel Noboa, to push forward reforms to boost the fight against organized crime, attract investment and create jobs.

The victim is Cosme Parrales, who was the director of the El Rodeo prison, located in the city of Portoviejo, which belongs to the coastal province of Manabí, the state prison agency, the National Service of Integral Attention to Persons Deprived of Liberty (SNAI), confirmed in a statement.

This is the third murder in five days of an authority in Ecuador, after the murders on Wednesday and Friday of two mayors of municipalities in the south of the country that have in their territory the presence of illegal mining activities.

"The SNAI will provide all the facilities to the entities in charge of the investigations to determine the causes and those responsible for this event that mourns the entire National System of Social Rehabilitation," the report adds.
