The U S Federal government withheld billions of dollars in aid from Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria in order to facilitate the privatization of our power grid & secure our dependence on American LNG. Ive been saying it for years, this audit only proves it to be true.
crazy how this case and the prairieland 9 aren’t getting more attention. do people not realize what’s happening? the trump admin is rounding activists up for doing nothing except nonviolently opposing their fascism. if they can do it to these people they can do it to you too.
I like you to know while everyone soaks in this heatwave that israel is trapping all the Palestinian survivors of the genocide in a confined hell hole that gets smaller every day where they’re forced to whistand insurmountable weather extremes on top of being killed everyday.
Florida has one of the highest incarceration rates in the world. Faced with the annual threat of powerful hurricanes, the state puts nearly 100,000 people at risk when officials refuse to evacuate the state's many flood-prone jails and prisons.

gaza is the worst humanitarian catastrophe of the modern era. even the warsaw ghetto didn’t have drones and quadcopters hovering above them 24/7, ready to kill them at any moment. just think about what that does to people mentally
Shot the dog 5 times & refused to let her neighbors comfort her. A cop walked up to her and said “sorry for your loss but you need to control your emotions.” Smh. 25 cops and a helicopter for a loud noise ? Literally bored w/ nothing better to do. I hate I came across the video.
Hantavirus, leptospirosis, fleas, other viruses and pests are spreading in Gaza because there's no longer a functioning sanitation system. Children are being bitten and falling sick and there's not enough medication and materials for treatment: this is also part of genocide.
People in Sunset Park, Brooklyn are currently gathering on 5th Ave for this year’s Sunset Park Puerto Rican Day Parade. This local neighborhood parade (as opposed to the one in Manhattan today) began as a response to police brutality against revelers in this neighborhood.
BREAKING: 🇺🇸🇵🇭 Protesters breached police barricades in Manila, advancing toward the US Embassy.
The demonstrators are demanding the US troops to be kicked out and opposing the expansion of US military bases in the country.
A huge risk factor for developing ME is pushing through an infection and not resting during and after. Especially if that infection is covid. Can you guess who's disproportionately being infected with covid right now and forced to push through it?
The FBI raided and arrested 7 pro-Palestine activists this morning for their involvement in student organizing at UMich. They are still targeting the student movement. Please spread the word about this. Donate to the legal fund in this thread
No “clear the street, vehicle coming through” etc. straight to tazer. Not to mention the person who was kicked by a horse bc their mounted cops were in overcrowded areas, startling the horses and making them act erratically
FL police use A.I. to identify a vehicle theft suspect from surveillance video. Based on an "85% match" they arrest and charge Jalil Richardson. He spends 3 months in jail. He loses his job, his home, and custody of his kids.
Richardson lives in N.C.
He's never been to Florida. And his timesheet shows him at work at the time of the crime. No one checked before charging him. https://t.co/2AcQYwq30f
The us is silently killing Cuba
Since I’ve arrived we only got 3 hours of electricity in two days! Sick people keep dying due to lack of resources. Water shortages are insane, 20-30 days without water, which causes people to use dirty water.
🇧🇴 🇺🇸 | Civil war-type scenes are emerging from Bolivia.
The government passed a law authorising US-backed President Rodrigo Paz to deploy the military against protesters.
Bolivian police and military forces have launched a joint operation to clear strike blockades in San Julián, Santa Cruz department, as a five-week general strike against neoliberalism continues to grip the country.
The crackdown came with full government backing — multiple ministers arrived for what was intended as a photo opportunity declaring victory over the movement.
Instead, entire communities mobilised, forcing security forces to retreat after more than four hours of sustained resistance on the highway.
The mobilisations, demanding the resignation of President Rodrigo Paz, have left at least ten people dead, 37 injured, and over a hundred facing prosecution, according to the Ombudsman's Office.
Meanwhile, in El Alto — the indigenous city encircling the capital — daily popular assemblies are being held where communities vote on strike strategy and assess the movement's progress. A new form of grass-roots democracy is taking shape on the streets.
