The Garifuna are literally a tribe formed from the Arawak (Descendants of the Taíno people who Columbus first met and enslaved), the Carib (for whom the Caribbean is named, also known as the Kalinago) and escaped slaves. Leave them alone!!!!

To clarify: This is for Spain's spin-off of Survivor, Supervivientes, owned by Mediaset España and Binjay Group. Mexican billionaire Ricardo Salinas Pliego (owner of TV Azteca) owns the corporate foundation pushing the eviction.

Hal Draper (1967): www.marxists.org/archive/drap...
Under the pressure of bureaucratic-statified capitalism, liberalism and conservatism converge. That does not mean they are identical, or are becoming identical. They merely increasingly tend to act in the same way in essential respects, where fundamental needs of the system are concerned. And just as the conservatives are forced to conserve and expand the statified elements of the system, so the liberals are forced to make use of the repressive measures which the conservatives advocate: because the maintenance of the system demands it.

“Deaths in ICE camps nearly quadrupled during the final year of Biden's presidency—from just 3 in 2022 to 11 in 2024.” “This is the loaded gun Joe Biden handed Donald Trump after promising to fundamentally change ICE’s detention system.”

The kids are alright 👍
"It's honestly so sickening to come home from school, open my phone and see just terrible, terrible stories online of families getting separated and children getting deported and kidnapped by ICE," Bre Kennedy, a junior at Grandview High School in Aurora and a cofounder of the Colorado Youth Coalition, told The Colorado Sun. "We are living on stolen land and borders are imaginary lines, and to see such horrible people do such horrible things is just so sickening"
The majority of the afternoon's protest at La Alma-Lincoln Park played out peacefully, but the atmosphere took a tense turn when an adult counterprotester walked toward the park, holding a sign that read "I heart ICE." A surge of students pounced on the man, following him and chanting, "Nazi scum off our streets!"

"Simply believing Israel should exist" (over the graves of Palestinians, on stolen land) is, in fact, tantamount to supporting fascist terror. Shameful that The Nation would publish this garbage. Reads like a Zionist op-ed in the NYT. Comparing Piker to Hitler? Are you serious?

First time in US history a tree sit has been used to stop border wall construction: “On July 29, activists in Arizona’s San Rafael Valley climbed into the canopy of an ancient cottonwood and set up a tree sit. The goal: stop the Trump admin from bulldozing the tree to make way for the border wall.”

One immigrant justice advocate estimated that hundreds of protests have occurred in immigration jails in Trump's second term. He said that most of these protests are sit-ins and hunger strikes — but they only get covered if hundreds of people participate, while smaller ones fly under the radar.
