The Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) has as its patron the Nicaraguan revolutionary Augusto César Sandino. In the mid-twenties, Sandino led the popular army that fought the presence of United States military forces in Nicaragua, becoming a symbol of Nicaraguan nationalism and Latin American anti-imperialist resistance. In 1934, Sandino was captured and shot by the National Guard, a police force then commanded by Anastasio Somoza García. Two years later, Somoza engineered the overthrow of President Juan Bautista Sacasa and took over the government of Nicaragua, installing an autocratic dictatorship. Supported by the U.S. government, the Somoza family would remain in charge of Nicaragua until 1979, leading a regime marked by human rights abuses, repression of trade unionists and social movements, unbridled exploitation of the working class, and absolute subservience to U.S. foreign policy.
In 1961, the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) was founded, composed of various leftist movements and organizations. The initiative brought together several exponents of the Nicaraguan left, and its founding members included names like Carlos Fonseca, Silvio Mayorga, Tomás Borge, and Casimiro Sotelo. Initially strongly influenced by the student movement, the organization's main centers of activity were the University of Leon and the National Autonomous University of Nicaragua (UNAN) in Managua. The movement gradually expanded with the adhesion of representative groups from other sectors of society, gaining a more popular character. In the early 1970s, the FSLN began its first military campaigns.
The weak government response to the earthquake that devastated Managua in December 1972, killing more than 10,000 people and leaving tens of thousands homeless, fueled opposition to Anastasio Somoza Debayle's government. Much of the international humanitarian aid destined for the earthquake victims was diverted by the Nicaraguan dictatorship. The reconstruction of downtown Managua was neglected, while the main contractors hired to rebuild the buildings were linked to the Somoza family, extending the clan's control over the economy of the Nicaraguan capital. The dictator's personal wealth was estimated at 400 million dollars as early as 1974. Popular discontent with the dictatorship influenced the growth of popular support for the FSLN, which began to mount more assertive operations.

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.
