Thanks to efforts led by the UFW, California banned the short handled hoe ‘el cortito’ in 1975. Today’s workers use a longer handled hoe to weed crops these sweet potato in Livingston CA. They are paid minimum wage in extreme temps - 107° last weekend - so our work's not done.
I’m seeing more communists on here and it’s making me so happy this place was so lonely for a time😭😭😭

Hell yeah the torpedoing of twitter means all the communists are FINALLY making their way over here. Let's go team, let's elevate the political discourse here!!!
Israeli forces are currently forcing hundreds of Palestinians out of their homes in the Jenin refugee camp as they continue their nearly full day ground invasion. We’re witnessing ethnic cleansing in real time and the U.S. gov is sending messages of outright support.
Amazon Teamsters are now picketing 4 of the web giant's facilities. Ten days ago, the workers started an unfair labor practice strike at just one Amazon warehouse. The strike has rapidly expanded, and the union says it will continue to grow.
Large scale invasion of Jenin refugee camp by Israel this morning — three Palestinians dead https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abunimah/israel-seeks-revenge-jenin-invasion
Israel seeks revenge with Jenin invasion
Three killed in early stages of what Tel Aviv calls "wide scale" assault on resistance stronghold.

Unbelievable that we’re witnessing the Israeli project approve 13,000+ new settlement homes in just a year. The project is becoming more and more fascistic by the day (not to say it wasn’t from the get-go) and we’re seeing what that means for Palestinians on the ground.
I can always figure out when Twitter fucks up because I’ll suddenly have like 8-10 new followers here
Working with Red Media now and I’m so genuinely excited — going to be making videos periodically for them
Making a 10-minute video in the history of Israeli relations with apartheid Soutj Africa focussing heavily on their nuclear weapons development and collaboration. Really really excited
400+ Israeli settlers descended on Palestinian-heavy areas today in Occupied Palestine. Cars and homes were burned, people beaten and killed, one Israeli air strike assassinated 3, and more. We witnessed a pogrom today, another in a string of them that have occurred just this year.
No fucking way the Jerusalem post actually made a twitter poll regarding Israeli settlers killing Palestinians and burning their possession with these options.
I don’t think people realize just how many conflicts Israeli weapons, training, equipment, etc have played roles in. South Africa’s invasion of Angola? Israeli arms and advisors helped. Rwandan genocide? Israeli arms were shipped there AFTER it had started. The list is genuinely shockingly long.
Conference on Anti-Zionism and Jewish solidarity with the Palestinian liberation struggle held by Independent Jewish Voices in Toronto was amazing and I go so many new books❤️
One of the many similarities between Israeli occupational forces and U.S. police is the near total lack of accountability for the murdering of oppressed people, whether they be Black Americans or Palestinians.
Due to Juneteenth, Nazis from different initiatives are mobilizing over the weekend to spread their hateful BS. Expect flyers & pop-up banners in some dusty location. Their main goal is to get into the media. We suggest not giving Nazis what they desperately want! A thread 👇
The NAACP sent a letter to the President expressing "disappointment" in permanently ending the pause on student loan payments. “Black voters stand to be incredibly disillusioned by an Admin who failed to deliver on key campaign promises." The White House responded "well Black unemployment is low"
It’s actually really wild that the more you dig into it the more instances that you find of Zionists during the 1930s-1940s trying to make deals with Nazi Germany and Benito’s fascist Italy to further their colonial endeavors in Palestine. I’ve stumbled upon multiple instances in my readings.
Finished reading a book about the history and present reality of Israel’s nuclear program (it’s terrifying) so now onto my next book as I continue to grind through Armed Struggle
My good friend Victor, an Indigenous land defender violently arrested for his involvement in the movement to stop Cop City, has been detained by ICE after spending months in jail on bogus 'domestic terrorism' charges. Please support and amplify, and call to demand his release.
