On this day, 9 January 2013, three Kurdish women – Fidan Doğan, Sakine Cansız and Leyla Söylemez – were assassinated in Paris. Two of the victims had been founding members of the left-wing Kurdish Workers’ Party (PKK). French judicial officials told the Agence France-Presse that the murder suspect, Ömer Güney, was involved with the Turkish secret service, Millî İstihbarat Teşkilatı (MIT). The Turkish government denied involvement. Güney died of a brain injury before his murder trial began. https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/2182790895239382/?type=3

Newly elected U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy took the gavel of the chamber after a bruising weeklong battle within his own party, promising to carry out a conservative, America-first agenda, tackling the immigration crisis at the Mexican border, cutting back funding at the IRS and fixing “woke indoctrination in our schools.”
After 14 failed votes since Tuesday, the California Republican was able to overcome opposition after making extraordinary concessions to a small bloc of far-right holdouts who refused to support his speaker bid.
The Democrats need to block every single thing this whimpering snivelling little neo-nazi dipshit wants to pass and indeed vote down every single bill that any nauseating little Republicunt attempts to pass
There needs to be absolutely zero collaboration with the RepubliKKKan party on anything for any reason. The Democrats need to treat these filthy inferior trash as what they are…a disease upon America and the American people
