Six days after his death, the embalmed body of the first #Soviet leader #VladimirLenin was placed into a temporary wooden mausoleum in #RedSquare on #ThisDayInHistory in 1924. The marble & concrete final version of #LeninsMausoleum that is seen to-day was completed in Nov. 1930.

TIL: The red square on a LinkedIn name is not a standard platform feature but a symbol used by some users to show solidarity with the Dutch academic community's protest against cuts to higher education funding. By adding the red square after their name, individuals are signaling their opposition to austerity measures affecting universities and other knowledge-based institutions.

#RedSquare

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1961, the embalmed body of #JosefStalin was quietly removed from #LeninsTomb in #RedSquare and reburied close to the Kremlin Wall with a simple granite marker. #Stalin was said to have broken the principles of #Lenin and thus did not deserve the honour.

Remember that declaring yourself a Nazi is literally declaring your desire _and specific intent_ to murder millions of people. You’re saying it’s your goal and you will do it if you can. It’s a clear, intentional, and specific threat to the lives of millions of people.

This is what _should_ happen when you declare yourself a Nazi or throw a Nazi salute.

Attached: 1 video Yesterday a Nazi who is not a student barged into a class at the University of Washington and reportedly began doing Nazi salutes and spewing hate. The students were NOT having it, and they and the professor immediately ran him out of the building and off campus. Lucky for the fascist the kids were farily gentle and the iconic square he ran through isn't much redder than normal. Campus police had to come save the fascist from physical consequences. #UW #Seattle #PNW #nazi

What once united the world now isolates #Russia

In 2005, leaders of the anti-Hitler coalition - #Bush, #Schröder, #Chirac, #HuJintao - stood on #RedSquare. In 2025, it’s the leaders of #Myanmar, #Zimbabwe, and #UnrecognizedTerritories

#VictoryDay has morphed into a grotesque parade of #propaganda, lies, and delusion. No longer a remembrance of shared sacrifice, it’s a celebration of #Putin’s geopolitical decay. May 9 isn’t victory - it’s #VictoryFrenzy in full regalia

Day of lies and hatred

An American citizen who criticizes Trump's policies has been elected Pope. Victory frenzy has begun: Moscow is under siege, the Allies of the anti-Hitler coalition didn't show up, and the light at the end of the tunnel is Xi Jinping.

#XiJinping, #Maduro, #Vučić, #MiguelDíazCanel, and #LulaDaSilva arrived for the #VictoryDay frenzy celebration in #Moscow.

Everyone suggesting to strike #RedSquare and destroy both the military equipment and the leaders of the countries representing the #AxisOfEvil are mistaken. This means the end of support for #Ukraine from the #EU and the #US. Maybe, a nuclear strike.

I understand the feelings of those who propose this, but we must also consider the consequences.

An uneasy sky hangs over all of Russia

Xi Jinping, Maduro, Vučić, Miguel Díaz-Canel, and Lula da Silva arrived for the Victory Day frenzy celebration. A powerful Ukrainian drone attack on May 7 was followed by a calm night on May 8. Putin's ceasefire seems to be holding.

An AFU colonel suggested striking Moscow on May 7.

THE KENT STATE MASSACRE
It is May 4, 1970 - minutes after the Ohio National Guard opened fire on a peaceful antiwar protest at Kent State University. A horrified Mary Ann Vecchio crouches over the body of Jeffrey Miller.
That’s me on the right with a white arm band. I am watching a freaked-out fellow art student jumping in the blood of Jeffrey Miller.
Four were killed and nine wounded, protesting against the invasion of Cambodia. Days later came massacres at Augusta GA and Jackson State MS.
The shootings at Kent were choreographed at the highest levels of government. Inflammatory comments by President Nixon and Governor Rhodes of Ohio provided a framework for the shootings. Actions reeking of the work of agent provocateurs preceded the murders. In the May 4 protest was an armed FBI agent - photographed holding a gun.
For 55 years, there has been a diligent cover up of the events by politicians of both capitalist parties. KSU has attempted to airbrush the mass anti-war movement of thousands of students out of existence.
Official May 4 commemorations were placed in the hands of Stephanie Danes Smith, a former top official of the CIA - testimony to the moral bankruptcy of the KSU admin. Former “radicals” of SDS, having carved out careers as “experts” and “survivors,” have embraced Smith - a sad testimony to failed ultra-left/liberal politics.
Now, Trump officials are again making inflammatory statements and threatening students with the National Guard. Like Nixon, they believe that deporting, jailing or killing some students will put an end to the anti-war protests. They are doomed to failure.
Those of us who went through the experience of building the Vietnam antiwar movement learned this: when millions of people join in direct action in the streets, we have enormous power.
The most important way to prevent state violence is to build a mass, independent defense of civil liberties.
Together with the Vietnamese people, we defeated the war makers in Southeast Asia.
We can and must do it again.
Stop the assaults on democratic rights!
End the genocide in Gaza!
War machine off campus!
