Chile's new president is extremely right-wing, Catholic, with Nazi roots. But women in Chile are strong and organized. “Women are having abortions right now, they will be doing it tomorrow, and they will keep doing it – no rightwing government will stop that." - member of Con las Amigas y En La Casa

A govt file relating to UK military support for the Pinochet regime 1983-84 during Thatcher years is closed - and my Freedom of Information request has just been rejected We already know a lot about this (see my thread below), so I wonder what else they have to hide?

Last month, a Pennsylvania farmer rejected $15M from data center developers to sell his farmland. Another in Wisconsin turned down $80M. America's farmers and others across the country are pushing back on Big Tech. This is what integrity looks like.

Here’s an ugly truth. When a President sends men and women to war, they have decided to spend American lives to buy things; to buy objectives, outcomes, results. This president will be willing to trade the currency of human life…for something as worthless as his ego. We will see that soon.

It was transforming the biggest NFL stage in the world into a sugar cane plantation that did it for me. Like, the multiple layers of turning an American icon into a plantation and highlighting the history of exploitation of Black and Brown bodies by the NFL and American colonialism simultaneously?

Since birthright citizenship is a matter of discussion these days, and it’s a fairly rare phenomenon (only 35 countries), I’m wondering if it’s origin in the US was somehow linked to hereditary enslavement—similar logics existing behind both, or something. Any US history scholars out there know?

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

When Liuzzo acquired this knowledge, when she got Woke, she was transfigured
into a traitor to her race and a menace to The Homeland. For being a menace, for
being Woke, she was killed—as was Renee Good. (As was Alex Pretti.) But
revelations have their blessings, too. In this case, a life, however brief, that is clean,
and does not depend on the oppression and debasement of others. The revelation
of deep human ties, a belief that we are all equally chosen, doomed Liuzzo, Good,
and Pretti, as revelation so often does. But it also immortalized them.

It is important to acknowledge who is standing up and who is just trying to get by. Every day Americans are standing up while the powerful are mostly standing by. Why aren't law firms standing up and sending lawyers to Minneapolis. Why aren't the corporations speaking out? Why isn't the media?
