Sorry, kids, get the ***k out! No tired masses

(FOX) Hundreds of protests are taking place across the U.S. [July 19, 2014] weekend in opposition to the "surge" of immigrants [seeking asylum at] the country’s southern border and proposed immigration reform that organizers say gives amnesty to [undocumented migrants] already living in the country. 

Not in my racist America, kids! No way!

Organizers [claim] 321 protests will take place over the next two days -- from state capitals to highway overpasses to Mexican consulates. The [grassroots and totally unplanned, and not funded by the Koch Brothers or anyone else] protests have been sparked by the thousands of Central American immigrants who in the past few months have [come to] the U.S. [border] in hopes of staying [after fleeing unlivable conditions created by the USA and its drug, gang, and immigration policies deporting MS 13 members and others to their country].

Cinco de Mayo means Latin culture in USA

No one celebrates it in Mexico, but we sure love it in the US. What is Cinco de Mayo? The "Fifth of May" commemorates a time when Mexico rebuffed and repelled French imperial troops who were sent in to collect banking debts. They were defeated and turned away (but returned a year later and succeeded).

No one in Mexico would think to celebrate the fiasco, choosing instead to commemorate the September 16th "Mexican Independence Day" revolution that overthrew Spanish imperial rule. Long after Buddhism arrived, Spain came to Mexico and wiped out millions in waves of genocides that introduced chattel slavery, disease, mass rape, incarceration, the death penalty, corporate business, and deadly forms of Christianity -- mostly, but not exclusively, Holy Roman Imperial Catholicism.

Of course, the day is now debased in a 4th of July-style Beer and BBQ fest. Why drink Bud when you can have a Corona and enrich corporations on both sides of the border? Viva la revolución!

MOSCOW, Russia - About 100,000 people have marched through Red Square to celebrate May Day, the first time the annual parade has been held on the vast cobblestoned square outside the Kremlin since the fall of the Soviet Union (USSR) in 1991.

In keeping with Soviet-era traditions, Thursday's parade was organized by trade unions and honored the working person.

But it also celebrated Russia's annexation of Crimea and was seen as part of Pres. Vladimir Putin's efforts to stoke patriotic feelings. Marchers held up signs saying "Let's go to Crimea for vacation" and "Putin is right." Russian flags fluttered through the crowd. More
