Thanks to efforts led by the UFW, California banned the short handled hoe ‘el cortito’ in 1975. Today’s workers use a longer handled hoe to weed crops these sweet potato in Livingston CA. They are paid minimum wage in extreme temps - 107° last weekend - so our work's not done.

Israeli forces are currently forcing hundreds of Palestinians out of their homes in the Jenin refugee camp as they continue their nearly full day ground invasion. We’re witnessing ethnic cleansing in real time and the U.S. gov is sending messages of outright support.

Unbelievable that we’re witnessing the Israeli project approve 13,000+ new settlement homes in just a year. The project is becoming more and more fascistic by the day (not to say it wasn’t from the get-go) and we’re seeing what that means for Palestinians on the ground.

400+ Israeli settlers descended on Palestinian-heavy areas today in Occupied Palestine. Cars and homes were burned, people beaten and killed, one Israeli air strike assassinated 3, and more. We witnessed a pogrom today, another in a string of them that have occurred just this year.

I don’t think people realize just how many conflicts Israeli weapons, training, equipment, etc have played roles in. South Africa’s invasion of Angola? Israeli arms and advisors helped. Rwandan genocide? Israeli arms were shipped there AFTER it had started. The list is genuinely shockingly long.

One of the many similarities between Israeli occupational forces and U.S. police is the near total lack of accountability for the murdering of oppressed people, whether they be Black Americans or Palestinians.

The NAACP sent a letter to the President expressing "disappointment" in permanently ending the pause on student loan payments. “Black voters stand to be incredibly disillusioned by an Admin who failed to deliver on key campaign promises." The White House responded "well Black unemployment is low"

NAACP says it is ‘disappointed’ Biden ended pause on federal student loan payments
The civil rights organization also called on Biden to “pursue all legal pathways” to protect his broader initiative to forgive the loans of tens of millions of borrowers.

“The President will continue to defend and strengthen his Investing in America agenda, which has resulted in record low Black unemployment,” Hasan added. “The Administration announced in November that the student loan payment pause would end in August — this bipartisan budget agreement makes no changes to that plan.”

In the letter to the White House, Cole and Johnson said they were concerned that an upcoming Supreme Court decision could imperil Biden’s larger initiative to forgive student loan debt and called on him to take action. Biden’s plan has been blocked since the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued a temporary hold in October.

It’s actually really wild that the more you dig into it the more instances that you find of Zionists during the 1930s-1940s trying to make deals with Nazi Germany and Benito’s fascist Italy to further their colonial endeavors in Palestine. I’ve stumbled upon multiple instances in my readings.

There should be no better indicator that political leaders in bourgeois “democracies” are more beholden to capital than any working class person than the fact that Atlanta City Council didn’t even have a close vote on funding Cop City after the scale of protests against it.

The armed wing of the state is doing everything it can to harass, arrest, and kill those standing in the way of its interests. This is not a problem just for Georgians — Cop City will shape the future of policing in this country for departments nationwide and give them better tactics/tools.
