Jesús Manuel Arenas-Silva, a 45-year-old Venezuelan man, died Monday morning in Georgia while being transferred from the Irwin county detention center to the Folkston ICE processing center. He was found "unresponsive" on a transfer bus and pronounced dead at a local hospital. ICE arrested Arenas-Silva last Thursday, and according to a press release issued by Georgia immigrant rights groups, only allowed him to take one medication with him. When he called his sister while in detention, he relayed to her that agents did not give him the medication. “He went without medication during his detention until he tragically died in ICE custody on Monday,” according to a press release. Arenas-Silva becomes the fourth person to die in an ICE-related incident this week and the 22nd to die in ICE custody this year.

For over six weeks massive protests have filled the streets in Albania against a luxury coastal development project led by US President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner and his wife Ivanka. The so-called Flamingo Revolution started as an environmental movement to protect wetland breeding grounds but has since evolved into a full-blown national uprising demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama. Dajana, an activist in Tirana, explains explain how the fight over the Albania's Vjosa-Narta coastline and Sazan Island has become a national reckoning over corruption and sovereignty.

🗣️”Houston City Council: You have Lorenzo's blood on your hands!” Community members in the hundreds spoke at today's Houston City Council meeting to demand justice for Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. As community members shared their frustration with the totally toothless way in which the city leadership has responded to this murder in our city, council members blamed those in attendance for not...voting in the right people? With or without the support of city leadership, our fight against ICE terror in our communities continues! We demand an independent investigation! We demand the release of the other passengers in Lorenzo's vehicle! We demand an end to ICE<>HPD collaboration! We demand ICE OUT OF HOUSTON!

The Trump administration has surged ICE activity to 2,000 arrests per day, creating a false narrative that immigrants are the cause of the many crises our communities are facing. Instead, we must start demanding real solutions to our problems. ⤵️ liberationnews.org/why-we-should-…

“ICE is a bipartisan machine of terror. We cannot expect those who built ICE to be the ones to give us the right to exist without ICE terror.” If we truly want to end ICE terror, we need to end capitalism before it ends us. Join the national day of action on July 18 to stop ICE terror! For more information and initial protest listings, visit answercoalition.org/ICEOUT.

🚨NATIONAL DAY OF ACTION ON SATURDAY, JULY 18: The entire country must rise up to stop ICE’s killing spree. On July 7, ICE agents murdered Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston. Today ICE murdered Joan Sebastian Guerrero in Maine. These deaths are not accidental — they are the direct result of the Trump administration’s war on working-class immigrant communities, a war which is now demanding agents arrest 2,000 people per day. After the people of Minnesota organized strikes and shutdowns to drive out Operation Metro Surge, ICE tried for several months to “stay out of the headlines.” But ICE’s overall aggressive and violent approach has continued with new tactics, and now a massive budget. Every Congressperson who has voted for ICE funding is responsible for these crimes. ICE may have pulled the trigger but they handed them the guns. The vast majority of the country opposes the racist deportation drive Trump is waging in our communities. We want justice, equality and full rights for all immigrants. Now we must stand up and refuse to allow this violence to go unchallenged. In the name of Joan, Lorenzo, Alex Pretti, Renee Nicole Good, Jaime Alanis, Keith Porter and so many other victims of ICE Terror: all out this Saturday, July 18!

@andersleehere @DougHenwood we would handle those criticisms internally. I responded because Doug said that we are "falling apart" which isn't true.

@Chris_Antonee @DougHenwood Maybe you can disprove the claim that's circulated that PSL members are forbidden from sharing your criticisms of PSL, something that any member of any organization will inevitably have. What are yours?

I get being turned off by DSA infighting on Twitter but sometimes ppl say “DSA should be like PSL and not litigate things publicly” and there’s no real way to make that happen without adopting all the other things that make PSL PSL.

@DougHenwood @andersleehere no.

@andersleehere Isn’t PSL falling apart?

"They want to end Western civilization." DSA-backed candidates won big in the New York City primaries. Fox News seems to be taking it well.

China has dispatched "Noah's Ark", powered pontoon bridges, to rescue students trapped by floods at a school. It can move 500 people at a time. The team, China Anneng, was transformed from the armed police hydropower troops and is now a national-level emergency rescue force👍🏻

Trump has begun bombing Iran again, threatening to destroy the ceasefire and reignite a wider regional conflict. He claims these renewed strikes are about keeping the Strait of Hormuz open – but that’s far from the full story. 🧵

this hurt my soul more than anything though

“ICE OUT OF EVERYWHERE!” Houston is in the streets tonight at the site of yesterday’s ICE murder of father and long-time resident Lorenzo Salgado Araujo to demand justice for his stolen life and an end to ICE terror in our communities once and for all.

Yesterday, I spoke outside the UN. A campaign led by the movement in solidarity with Palestine forced Israeli official Itamar Ben-Gvir to cancel his visit to our city. Now we're demanding that the UN withhold Netanyahu and the Israeli delegation's credentials this September.
