If you're looking for decent people in the US labor movement, most of them were purged in the 40s and 50s.

The tearing down of Cesar Chavez’ legacy in the form of monuments and murals etc in Los Angeles is the fastest I’ve ever seen L.A politicians move.

All 15 City Councilmembers (even the ones who campaigned against sweeps) send crews to raid encampments every week. All 15 continue to order sweeps...even when they know ICE kidnaps people from encampments. Even when they know sweeps leave people more vulnerable to kidnappings.

🚨After 29 hours, our electrical system is fully operational again. In Latin America, it can take weeks to restore national electrical grids. The fact that Cuban electrical workers accomplished this in such short time is a testament to the tenacity, and ingenuity of our people.

The phrase “we are not the Jews of trembling knees,” used by @jgreenblattADL, is a vile anti-Semitic trope. It echoes the idea that Jewish holocaust victims were somehow to blame for their own deaths because they were “weak.” This Jew-hatred is deeply embedded in Zionism.
Chris Menahan 🇺🇸@infolibnews

ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt: "We will never apologize for our love and support for the Jewish state of Israel! Not now, not ever!" "And to those who hate us, we say to them: We see you. We hear you. And guess what? We’re not going anywhere! We are not the Jews of trembling knees. We are here, now and forever! Am Yisrael Chai! Am Yisrael Chai! Am Yisrael Chai!"

💢 Cuba reports an island-wide blackout Monday after a “complete disconnection” of the national electrical system, the Ministry of Energy and Mines said on X. Here’s what to know: 🔸 The shortages are a result of a U.S. blockade and pressure campaign targeting countries that supply Cuba with oil, after Donald Trump warned of tariffs on any nation selling fuel to the island. 🔸 President Miguel Díaz-Canel said Cuba has not received oil shipments for more than three months, leaving the grid reliant on solar, natural gas, and aging thermoelectric plants. 🔸The outage has affected the country’s ~11 million residents as authorities investigate the cause and begin restoration. 🔸 Hospitals have been forced to postpone tens of thousands of surgeries as severe fuel and electricity shortages strain the healthcare system. 🔸 Cuba produces about 40% of its own petroleum, but it has not been enough as the electrical system continues to deteriorate. 🔸 This is the sixth nationwide blackout in the past 18 months in which the island’s power generation dropped to zero. 🔸 Restoration protocols are underway, but previous major outages this month took 16–72 hours to partially resolve. Source: El Pais, AP

CNN: Breaking news. Cuba's electrical grid has suffered a complete and total collapse. This is according to the country's power operator. It's the first nationwide blackout since the US effectively shut off the flow of oil to Cuba

@IkeMoses The real fun in LA used to be off the grid. House parties, empty lots in the cut, DTLA lofts, dance halls, Belizean clubs, backyard concerts, hotel basements, MacArthur park bandshell used to have amazing free shit happening. Post gentrification all that space got sewed up.
