1973: US Govt helps install Chilean dictator Pinochet

1987: Luis Leon survives torture at hands of Pinochet, escapes to USA, receives asylum

2025: ICE disappears Leon (now 82), lies to family that he's dead, he's actually in a Guatemalan hospital

He did everything right and legal, and ICE disappears him anyway. This is fascism through and through and anyone who supports this is complicit.

@QasimRashid Also drives home the point that the US's failure to fight its government's colonial efforts to install right wing dictators favorable to letting US corporations plunder their countries' resources throughout the 20th century doomed us to falling into fascism ourselves in the 21st. It had to happen here eventually because we largely ignored it while it was done to so many others in our names. No one who consumes products from major US companies that profited is without guilt.
@PedestrianError @QasimRashid the AFL-CIO was instrumental in this, especially in South and Central America, to the point that they had an office for CIA staff in their DC headquarters. “Fighting communism”, spreading businesses unionism, and paving the way for capitalist extraction is the entire reason that organization exists. Even the people that are supposed to advocate for us exist to oppress us.
