On October 7, Israel began another phase of its long-genocidal war against the Palestinian people. The intensification of its colonial violence, ethnic cleansing, and mass displacement was suddenly livestreamed for the entire world to see.

#PeoplesHistory | On a day like today in 1967 the Cuban-Argentine revolutionary leader, Ernesto “Che” Guevara, was captured by the CIA-backed Bolivian army near La Higuera in Bolivia.
