How I Learned To Fight and Kill in Vietnam | David Rodriguez - American Veterans Center - Veterans Chronicles

David Rodriguez has a legacy of military service in his family, but his real motivation for joining the Army was to move on from working in the family business of farming. Soon he was off to Ft. Lewis, Washington, for basic training. He was then trained as a combat engineer. By late 1966, he was off to Vietnam.

Rodriguez tells us about his first time in combat and how training could never fully prepare him for it. He also explains the mindset needed to have a chance of surviving. Rodriguez also shares the details of his actions in December 1967 to counter a U-shaped ambush the enemy launched against his unit. His charging and takeover of a machine gun position led to the end of the threat and a Bronze Star.

Th Senate has passed the Republican bill to cut taxes for the rich, and cut Medicaid assistance for the poor.

The bill returns to the US House.

If the US House passes the Senate version of the bill, it will be sent to Trump to sign into law.

To me, it feels many of them, especially at the local level, are just rolling over. They seem unprepared for the moment we find ourselves in.

They should be building a strategy to destroy the Republican Party by having another Nuremburg Trial.

Instead, too many of them are just out there like, "Well, this is bad."

And then, the worst of it is the Democrats who want to lean conservative just so they can win more votes, ie Keir Starmer.

MTG-S1 and Sentinel-4 launch to change how we see our atmosphere

MTG-S1 and Sentinel-4 take to the skies

The second of the Meteosat Third Generation (MTG) satellites and the first instrument for the Copernicus Sentinel-4 mission lifted off at 23:04 CEST on Tuesday, 1 July. The satellite is now on its way to monitor Earth’s atmosphere from an altitude of 36 000 km. From this geostationary orbit, the missions can provide game-changing data for forecasting severe storms and air pollution over Europe.

MTG-S1 and Copernicus Sentinel-4 launch highlights


image

Video: 00:02:30

Two meteorological missions – Meteosat Third Generation Sounder-1 (MTG-S1) and the Copernicus Sentinel-4 mission – have launched on board a SpaceX Falcon 9 from Cape Canaveral in Florida, US.

Both are world-class Earth observation missions developed with European partners to address scientific and societal challenges.

The MTG-S1 satellite will generate a completely new type of data product, especially suited to nowcasting severe weather events, with three-dimensional views of the atmosphere. It is the second in the MTG constellation to be prepared for orbit and is equipped with the first European operational Infrared Sounder instrument.

Copernicus Sentinel-4 will be the first mission to monitor European air quality from geostationary orbit, providing hourly information that will transform how we predict air pollution across Europe, using its ultraviolet, visible, near-infrared light (UVN) spectrometer.

Fuck Canada Day. Support Anti-Colonial Media.

Yeah, we know—it’s Canada Day. A day when this colonial state pats itself on the back with fireworks and maple-washed history books. But for many of us, it’s a day of mourning, resistance, and truth-telling.

At Amplifier Films, we’re not here to celebrate genocide wrapped in red and white. We’re a crew made up of people from colonized lands—Kanien’kehá:ka Territory, Borikén, and beyond—and we’ve dedicated our work to tearing down colonial lies and amplifying the real stories of land defense, past and present.

From the forests of so-called Canada to the streets of occupied Palestine, we bring you radical media from the front lines. That means real stories. Real resistance. Real decolonial politics. No filters. No apologies.

We’ve got two major projects right now that need your support:

🔥 Red Road to the West Bank – Following Indigenous land defenders from Turtle Island connecting with Palestinian resistance on the ground. amplifierfilms.ca/redroad

🔥 Front Line Reports – Ongoing, no-bullshit coverage of land back struggles, settler violence, and Indigenous resistance here and abroad. amplifierfilms.ca/shorts

Throw down if you can. A donation of $70 or more gets you a keffiyeh as a thank-you—a symbol of resistance and solidarity.

📣 This Canada Day, skip the fireworks. Fund the fire. Support anti-colonial media.

Why Do Warriors Wear Masks?
🎙️ Narrated by Clifton Ariwakehte Nicholas

In this powerful reflection, an Indigenous warrior explains why masks have become a necessary part of resistance. Drawing on the lessons of the 1973 Wounded Knee uprising and the violence that followed, the speaker details how state surveillance and repression made anonymity a matter of survival. After Wounded Knee, those who stood up were systematically targeted—by the FBI and hired goons. The mask is not a gimmick or a symbol—it’s armor.

This clip delves into the security culture developed by Indigenous movements to protect communities, maintain operational safety, and safeguard the individuals behind the struggle. It underscores the strategic use of pseudonyms and collective identities as tools to ensure that resistance can continue without repression destroying it from within.

Ultimately, “Why Do Warriors Wear Masks?” is not just about hiding faces—it's about preserving the movement and honoring those who came before.

The U.S. Education Department announced the voluntary agreement Tuesday. The case focused on Lia Thomas , the transgender swimmer who last competed for the Ivy League school in Philadelphia in 2022, when she became the first openly transgender athlete to win a Division I title.

It’s part of the Trump administration’s broader attempt to remove transgender athletes from girls’ and women’s sports.

“My good friend saw drawings of swastikas and guns in his notebook,” said former classmate Harry Standley, who went to middle and and high school with Roley.

“We were all pretty scared of him,” Standley told USA TODAY.

The UN has just published a ground-breaking report by UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the occupied Palestinian territory Franceska Albanese, urging “trade unions, lawyers, civil society and ordinary citizens to press for boycotts, divestments, sanctions, justice for Palestine and accountability at international and domestic levels.”

Read the report ➡️ loom.ly/pPBB35I

The report, From economy of occupation to economy of genocide, presents, in unprecedented detail, corporate complicity in Israel’s regime of occupation, apartheid, and genocide against Palestinians. It exposes corporate interests that “underpin Israeli settler-colonial … twofold logic of displacement and replacement aimed at dispossessing and erasing Palestinians from their lands.”
