Teresa Regina de Ávila e Silva, Thiago's mother, passed away in Brasília. We express our deepest condolences to Teresa's family and loved ones. She was 63 years old, a woman of remarkable joy and great strength. She faced years of serious illness with courage, serenity, and dignity, driven by an unwavering will to live and surrounded by the unconditional dedication of her family. Thiago's two-year-old daughter carries her name. Rest in peace, mãecaco. Your story lives on in our struggle.

#USA — Jeff Bezos, the billionaire boss of Amazon and this year’s sponsor of the Met Gala, had Chris Smalls, a member of the Amazon Labor Union who wanted to protest the event, beaten by police.

@Rushthedutch @ProudSocialist She’s working in a *warehouse* at 72 because Amazon pays poverty wages. Jeff Bezos didn't become a multi-billionaire because he "worked that hard". He's a multi-billionaire because he abused his workers & doesn't pay them well. Don’t punch down at a grandma—punch up at Bezos.

@ProudSocialist This is exactly why AI and robots are taking over these people's jobs, and I'm sorry if you're 72 and working in a factory, then you made some poor life choices.

This is powerful! Mary Hill, a 72 year-old Amazon warehouse worker, has a message for Jeff Bezos and she projected it onto his $120 million penthouse in New York City.

⭕️ Thiago Ávila’s Mother Dies as He Remains in Israeli Detention Teresa Regina de Ávila e Silva, mother of unlawfully imprisoned flotilla activist Thiago Ávila, died Tuesday in Brasília after years of complications from strokes. She was 63. Ávila has been held in Shikma Prison since Israeli naval forces seized the Global Sumud Flotilla in international waters near Greece on April 30, and is unable to attend his mother’s funeral. Though no charges were filed, his detention was extended six days on Tuesday until May 10, based partly on secret evidence his lawyers were not permitted to review, according to Adalah. Brazilian President Lula called Ávila’s continued imprisonment “unjustifiable” and demanded his immediate release. Thiago has named his one-and-a-half-year-old daughter Teresa after his mother. From prison, Ávila dictated a letter to his young daughter, writing that he was sorry for not being home and that his mission was driven by the suffering of children in Gaza.

@Megatron_ron How conservative of him.

NEW: 🇺🇸🇮🇷 Marco Rubio started to feel nostalgic He says the goal of the war in Iran is now to restore it "back to the way it was" Before Trump started the war in Iran

Barack Obama’s administration intervened and forced Haiti’s government to kill a plan to raise the minimum wage. The minimum wage was kept at approximately a mere $0.31 an hour. A fact not known by many about the Butcher of Libya.

🚨AGORA | Tragédia envolvendo brasileiro SEQUESTRADO por “Israel” 🇧🇷🇵🇸 Morre Teresa Regina de Ávila e Silva, mãe do ativista Thiago Ávila, que segue sendo mantido de refém. Sem poder ver o filho livre ou abraçá-lo pela última vez, a mãe parte em meio à dor e à injustiça.

🚨NEW: @HakeemJeffries and the @DCCC are intervening in Democratic primaries to try to prevent competitive nominating contests & use big donor money to handpick winners before Democratic voters have their say.

@mcsquared34 It won't even be Amazon Employees. It will be people looking for honest income accepting 3h $60 offers using their personal vehicle, & they won't know the route when they accept, & they'll discover the route is 143 miles, cost $31 in gas, & doesn't count the 1h return trip.

I’d rather wait three for shipping so Amazon employees didn’t have to piss in bottles

The U.S. has committed another war crime in Iran. On Monday, the U.S. military reportedly attacked two passenger boats in the Strait of Hormuz, killing 5 civilians.

We do not live in a democracy.

US Vice President JD Vance: "Iran is using economic terrorism against the entire world." 🇮🇷 Iran's response: "Isn't it economic terrorism to impose sanctions against one of the world's oldest civilizations for 47 years?"

Stripping Iranian officials of verification is insane, particularly considering the way X is used as part of the diplomatic process in this war. This encourages fake news, of course, but also part of a broader censorship campaign waged by the self proclaimed free speech warrior

🇺🇸🇯🇵An American young man complains that the world now views Americans with disgust: “I am now in Japan. And when I say that I am American, people look at me with contempt and disgust. And wherever I go in the world and say that I am from America, people look at me with hatred.”

The UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan are assisting the Trump regime - and by extension Netanyahu - in preparing for an imminent major assault against the Iranian people. This is one act of treachery too many. The people of Iran will be unforgiving.

The Strait of Hormuz is not an international water way. This is a common misconception, but it belongs to Iran and Oman exclusively.

Following the announcement of the U.S.-led "Project Freedom," vessel traffic in the Strait of Hormuz remains at a trickle, and the majority of vessels that are transiting are using the Iranian traffic separation scheme and not the "Project Freedom" corridor closer to Oman.
