Day 4: Shoutout to this lone firefighter up on the ladder…
The air is thick, the smoke is on the ground level of residential neighborhoods in East LA. People are getting sick from the Boyle Heights fire as the toxic smoke gets insides homes and lingers in the air.
Still no evacuation orders.
hi hi hi just checking in near the end of day 4 of the lineage fire to remind everyone that the city just declared a state of emergency because 85 million lbs of food, including a ton of meat, is about to start rotting in a warehouse in our neighborhood. what could go wrong? 🤷🏼♀️
Wanted to circle back to say if this happened in west LA it would be nationwide news. But such warehouses aren’t located in those communities. No it’s always the working poor that suffer from these disasters and it’s far more common than anyone realizes bc nobody is covering it.
“We aren't a political uprising. We are human beings, just like every one of you.”
Families of missing persons in Mexico protested outside Estadio Azteca on the eve of the World Cup. There are more than 134,000 registered missing people in Mexico.
There’s a devastating fire that is upending Boyle Heights in Los Angeles and surrounding areas. The company that owns the warehouse is Lineage Logistics. Multiple violations over years. Fire two years ago on same roof. This in area where respiratory illness already is a problem.
Smoke from a warehouse fire that started earlier this week in Boyle Heights is still billowing over the downtown L.A. area Saturday. https://t.co/dWKFaeeZjo
Bolivia's neoliberal govt has just declared a state of exception and ordered the military to break all strikes and protests. Human rights are now formally suspended, serious repression will be launched at workers who are still mobilised.
Bolivia's union confederation has forced the government to withdraw all privatization and anti-land reform laws, in exchange for ending the general strike. Agreement signed.
However (big however), most affiliated unions state that they want to maintain strike until govt resigns.
Sure love how LA continues to poison its residents
Thank goodness we got everyone back in the office, built that other lane, poured money into cops, set up the data centers,
Sick of western leftist immediately voicing their defeatist bullshit. Y'all did this with Iran, Venezuela, and now with Cuba. Shut up. You are in no position to declare one or the other revolutionary project to be over while the people are still fighting.
