I maintain, and wholeheartedly so, that we need to start a Shit for Reagan Day. What a murdering, criminal piece of sh-t servant of the 1%. "Most of the border crossers are from Central America. Many say they would rather be home, if the possibility of decent survival hadn’t been destroyed. Mayans such as this young mother are still fleeing from the wreckage of the genocidal assault on the indigenous population of the Guatemalan highlands 30 years ago. The main perpetrator, Gen. Efrain Rios Montt, the former dictator who ruled Guatemala during two of the bloodiest years of the country’s decades-long civil war, was convicted in a Guatemalan court of genocide and crimes against humanity, on May 10. Then, 10 days later, the case was overturned under suspicious circumstances. It is unclear whether the trial will continue. Rios Montt’s forces killed tens of thousands of Guatemalans, mostly Mayans, in the year 1982 alone. As that bloody year ended, President Reagan assured the nation that the killer was “a man of great personal integrity and commitment,” who was getting a “bum rap” from human-rights organizations and who “wants to improve the quality of life for all Guatemalans and to promote social justice.” Therefore, the president continued, “My administration will do all it can to support his progressive efforts.” " (also I almost threw up watching reagan pretend a genocidal dictator is progressive in any way, shape or form)
