i'm sure it's fine

Scab unions in Bolivia, who initially opposed the general strike against neoliberalism, are now joining it.

They say that they've realised that the only way to end the strike is for the strike to win.

[Alex Colston @enoughformethx]

Alrighty, I paid rent, so I'm more or less reintegrated into normal life. That means I am again looking for stable work, and I'm starting to submit applications, etc.

At this point in my life, there is truly not much I haven't done in media and publishing. Pls send me leads, ty

Bolivia's workers unions held a congress yesterday and confirmed that they will not take part in any dialogue or negotiations.

The general strike against neoliberalism continues, the number of barricades erected along highways is now 90, a record breaking number.

All pregnant detainees have been released from Delaney Hall, according to Cosecha, which was one of the demands. RESISTANCE TILL EVERYONE IS FREE!

data centers are the architecture of the primitive accumulation of language

Reading How To Sell A Genocide, the NYT called every major population centre in the Gaza Strip a "Hamas stronghold" at some point.

They actively worked to militarise civilians in Gaza to justify genocide

Left press must ask the Mamdani admin about the choice not to arrest Smotrich.

The hunger strikers are Delaney Hall are demanding the following:

1) To meet with the Governor
2) Release medically vulnerable people
3) Release young and elderly detainees

They aren’t striking to demand better conditions & treatment, they’re doing it to demand their freedom

[Nate Holdren @n_hold]

to maybe put too fine a point on it, worth noting NJ has a Dem trifecta - governor and both legislative houses, and Newark has a Dem mayor

[zellie @zellieimani]

The white supremacist group, The Proud Boys are currently outside Delaney Hall.

ICE and State Troopers will protect them and all three will be violent to those outside in solidarity with detainees. But forward we go.

the best close readings are the ones that make you go “oh! of course! can’t believe i didn’t see that! but, of course, you didn’t see it, and nobody did (except the close reader), even though it was. right. there

Today, Maurice Bishop would be 82. Leftist Prime Minister of Grenada 1979-1983. Expanded free healthcare, education, literacy, housing, built infrastructure. Strong ties to Cuba+Non-Aligned Movement. Overthrown by CIA-led coup under Reagan. Executed by firing squad at age 38.

[James🔻 @GoodVibePolitik]

Can’t describe how insane it is that the AG here is trying to act like the protestors threw tear gas at police when the police fired multiple rounds of tear gas, a few canisters of which were kicked back as they were fired into the crowd. They weren’t protecting shit.

[zellie @zellieimani]

Tonight. Outside of Delaney Hall. Me and other protestors were tear gassed and shot at with rubber bullets by the state police. Not ICE.

Indigenous leaders of La Paz, Bolivia: We don't want dialogue or negotiation with those who have our blood on their hands, we'll be at the barricades until the President is gone.

“Don’t Give Up: A Letter From Delaney Hall”

A letter written by detainees inside the ICE detention center Delaney Hall during a work and hunger strike was published two days ago on May 26.

[Walter Masterson @waltermasterson]

I went to the Delaney Hall ICE facility in Newark NJ.

The detainees are not just on a hunger strike because the food has maggots, people have also died, there have been 2 miscarriages due to denial of medical care.

The detainees are also on a labor strike. The facility doesn’t hire maintenance staff and forces them to maintain the facility for $1 a day. They also sometimes don’t even pay them the dollar.

The Donroe Doctrine is stone-cold colonialism: We invade your country, we elect your governors, and we extract your wealth. Latin America’s long struggle for self-determination is not simply unfinished; it is moving in reverse.
