Alpine Ibexes Climb Nearly 90 Degree Angles To Lick Salt Deposits Of Of Mountainsides. They Crave That

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???

Admitting my star sign was a mistake.

no but actually though

This country claims to be democratic but 9 unelected people who's values and opinions formed decades prior, who can get into this position without strong or even any valid credentials, can decide to negatively impact or even destroy millions of lives and they cannot be held accountable for it. They can't be impeached or voted out. It's only the most convoluted combination of election-year voting, voter suppression/lack thereof, and idk fucking cowardice from both sides that got any of them to where they are now. 9 people who are cemented in their beliefs and then use the law and constitution to justify their moral opinions that they insist don't influence their rulings at all. We can't vote then out. We just have to hope they retire or die under the presidency of someone who doesn't want to actively kill everything, and eve then we have to contend with any given republican or spineless Democrat in the Senate.

And even then, we cannot get rid of them. Nine people make decisions for 300+ million, affecting their ability to defend themselves, to live peacefully, to lead healthy and happy and safe lives. Nine people can ruin lives for decades to come.

Nine people. Nine. People.

reblog if youre an idiot. reblog if youre just a fucking fool.

It's okay guys! Freddy's just nervous

au where bakugo’s parents are divorced and his birth father was guy fieri

@the people who make those edits that are like 'hozier but you're in a church and it' s raining outside'. ya'll r what's keeping me alive. bless u.

for the ask game, what about an au where Inko's type is just villains but she doesn't know it, and now that Izuku is focused on school and her husband might as well be non exsistance, she decides to back into the dating scene

So Inko, encouraged by Mitsuki, decides to date again and meeting people is surprisingly easy! She would have thought that people would run away screaming from a single mother with a teenage son but apparently, she is the picky one.

She dumps the CEO because his views are a little too extreme, especially for Inko who has a quirkless son. She accepted one coffee with that dashing magician but he is really too young for her and when he told her that she had a son in UA, he freaked out. Rappa has a delightful sense of humor but he disappeared with no warning. The journalist was fun but she tended to be more interested in interesting stories than by the truth. She met Chizome the time to take a coffee and she balked when he realized he was a bigger All Might stan than her own son.

Also, Endeavor asked her out when they were in high school but she wasn't interested.

There is nothing more awkward that to be in the middle of hero and villain fight only for the villain to pause as they recognize the son of their ex.

Izuku is completely blasé about it, though he was disappointed when his mom broke up with Nagant.
