Bolivian police have arrested indigenous women's leader & ex-senator Simona Quispe. She was grabbed off the street by men in civilian clothes, thrown in an unmarked vehicle and taken to unknown location.

The general strike against neoliberalism continues, despite the repression.

Another extrajudicial killing yesterday.

Two more civilians murdered.

The embassy and the comprador president of Bolivia think that we will get tired out.
We have resisted for more than 5 centuries.
We can hold out for 100 years more.
33 days of protests and roadblocks demanding the resignation of the president.

The US sponsors genocides, death squads, massacres, and dictatorships past and present.

Rural workers in Bolivia have seized an oil field in the Santa Cruz region and halted all production, as part of the general strike against neoliberalism.

The site, in the Santa Rosa del Sara municipality, is now fully offline.

🇨🇺 I just got back from Cuba.

Not from a press briefing. Not from a think tank report. I was on the ground — part of an emergency U.S. fact-finding delegation — and I’m still processing what I saw.

The humanitarian crisis is not a talking point. It’s people. Real suffering. Real consequences of a policy built on punishment instead of people.

Listen to Sen. Chris Murphy react to what Cuban President told me.

In the US, spending on data center construction now exceeds spending on public transportation infrastructure — including airports, marine terminals, and all mass transit.

We're gonna make I Love Boosters a different box office story than others, we're building it slower, word of mouth is building.

This weekend can be bigger than the last, a combo of new awareness, word of mouth recommendations, and certain exhibitors seeing what they have.

[Boots Riley @BootsRiley]

I also MAKE movies like my life depends on it.

On an indie promo budget on Memorial Day Weekend in competition w 10 other films,

& w 50%-250% less screens & WAY less showtimes than everyone that made more-

We're not done

I Love Boosters- in theaters now!

Iskra Books is excited to launch our new journal project - Red Horizons!

This scholarly, radical journal will be in the service of global liberation movements—a site for cutting-edge internationalist theory, translations, art, and poetry.

Just need to remind folks that Ryan Coogler said "Run, Don't Walk" to see I Love Boosters.

[Iskra Books @iskrabooks]

“Imperialism is not just a feature
of capitalism. Colonialism was the midwife, and imperialism was the driver of the development of the capitalist world-system into the center-periphery structure. By boosting consumption power in the center, unequal exchange became the solution to the contradiction, within the capitalist mode of production, between expanded accumulation and the lack of market.”

[Boots Riley @BootsRiley]

Guillermo Del Toro and an audience full of people at The Grove in LA told me to tell you to get your ass to the theater to see I Love Boosters.

Do it tonight or tomorrow so we get the opening weekend count

🇧🇴 Breaking: Bolivia’s Senate voted to overturn legal limits on the government’s ability to declare martial law and authorize lethal force by security forces, according to local reports cited by Drop Site contributor Joseph Bouchard. The move has fueled fears that La Paz could declare a state of emergency as soon as tonight.

[Arlene Eisen @Arlene519]

A revolution whose ups and downs span nearly 3 decades, is not overthrown by the "betrayal" of one leader (a woman, of course). And, those of us inside the U.S. must be committed to focusing on "our" country's responsibility. https://t.co/AEdPQym3w6

[Paco Arnau @ciudadfutura]

En Bolivia hay una genuina movilización popular de mineros, obreros y campesinos. Si fuera una “primavera” orquestada por EEUU o la UE abriría todos los telediarios. Es la prueba del algodón.

[Richard @ricwe123]

The US tried to install a puppet regime in Bolivia and dressed it up as if it had genuine popular support.
But workers and peasants saw through this bullshit immediately.
People across the country,spanning 50 ethnic groups from north to south,united in opposition in La Paz.
They detained the USAID workers to stop US interference in their country's affairs...
