You ever wonder how many posters out there telling people not to worry about AI-related job losses are themselves bots? Are you, the reader of this post, a bot? Am I?

The US has launched an unprovoked and illegal attack on Venezuela. This is a brazen attempt to secure control over Venezuelan natural resources. It is an act of war that puts the lives of millions of people at risk, and should be condemned by anyone who believes in sovereignty & international law.

approach. As the multi-agency police force began to materialize, an officer from each agency approached the crowd in a failed attempt to facilitate our surrender. This exchange was captured in a now-viral video of black-clad and shield-wielding militants forcing them down the hill and back to their lines while chanting "Move Back" , mocking a
common police dispersal tactic. From this point on, every hostile actor was forced out of the area including private security and individual agitators, including one man who repeatedly threatened to murder the students. However, the occupation recieved much support from passersby and motorists.
At around 10pm, a completely unintelligible dispersal order was given over a malfunctioning LRAD. In response, a massive fire was started at one of the barricades. This fire forced the police to entirely reroute their advance, delaying them severely. This delay gave more than enough time for many within the group to disperse as staying at the barricades would only result in arrest and injury. The fire was slow to extinguish and effectively crippled the police advance.

At this time of increasing oppression from the capitalist class it seems even more important to remind American workers of their history. The government may have taken away today as a celebration of labour’s fains, but they can’t erase facts. Capital needs to be reminded of the power of workers.

Not a single international cargo ship at the Port of Seattle. The port is dead. The last ship from China will dock at a West coast port on the 29th, and the last Chinese ship will dock on the East coast around May 10th. After that, there will be no more shipments arriving from China. We’re screwed.
