#KnowNothing#CardiB is too stupid to realize that NOT voting for #Biden is a vote FOR #Trump, and that her boycott of #Election2024 could be her last — She might not get another opportunity to vote EVER.
Today, #Portugal is celebrating 50 years since the #revolution against dictatorship and fascism. This #article tells the stories about what kind of information the state #police (PIDE) collected about its citizens. It tells the stories of 6 people with #documentation from the #archives
Given the troubling times we're living through and the far right growing in Portugal itself, is it still possible to hold the values our parents and grandparents fought for in 1974?
50 years ago #portugal had an anti-fascist #revolution. That started a complex and turbulent period. This #interview will be about it. Hopefully we will finish editing on time to release it today.
Il a osé le dire: "Si vous estimez que ce n'est pas acceptable, faites une loi", ricane Carlos Tavares, le PDG de Stellantis sur France Bleu Lorraine, fort de ses 36,5 millions d’euros de rémunération pour 2023. Envoyé à Bruno Le Maire qui fustigeait les "excès" des grands patrons dès 2018. Sept ans plus tard, rien n'a changé.
I keep thinking of this quote with regard to some of the main players on the international stage presently, politicians and oligarchs alike #fascism#revolution

Today in Labor History April 2, 1903: Mexican police fired on more than 10,000 protestors, killing 15 and wounding many more. People had been protesting the reelection of General Bernardo Reyes as governor of Nuevo Leon, who was aligned with Mexico's brutal dictator, Porfirio Diaz.
Following up the other day’s viewing of matrix reloaded with The Matrix: Revolutions.
Like I said before, these movies are massively underrated. The parts will the train station are v cool, hits a specific kind of liminal space that I’m in love with.
The explorations of faith is another part I really dig. And of course the whole series has a broad critique of systems of control that, aS a cOmmuNiSt% is right up my alley.
If you live in tyranny, like Russia - then only death means something. It is a death race between you and the tyrant, who will die first?- How much years will you lose before the tyrant perish? What will left from you and your life in the end? Is it really worth waiting ? Maybe a flash of glorious self-destructing rebellion is preferable, while you still have some dignity to light it? #russia#anarchism#tyranny#rebellion#resistance#revolution#rebellious
I feel like to a certain extent pacifism has a privelege problem. A lot of people fail to understand that violence being framed as a choice is ignoring reality for those of us who face discrimination or have lived at the bottom of society, of which I have both. Everyone in society is either having violence constantly inflicted upon them, participating in the systems that push that violence down upon others, or a mix of both.
There is no peace in our current society. Society as a whole, as it exists today, is violence, and being able to ignore that reality is privelege. For pacifism to attain any viability requires a fundamental change in society. Otherwise all it will mean is "peaceful violence", meaningless to those of us subject to it, and a denial of reality by those who inflict it.
Can someone please tell me what is the point of us trying to engage in a civil society that adheres to laws, morals and ethics, if a fascist state is going to ignore not only massive global public opinion, the increasing opposition from once staunch allies, but now international law itself?
Like, why haven't we turned the world upside down yet?
So..It’s time for a change…
Raise your voice to the air
It’s time for a change
Revolution is here
This is our song,
our rights now expressed
There’s power in our voice
There’s strength in our words
When the whole world is silent,
Our voice must be heard.
This is our song #Revolution is set
For the festival of the #oppressed https://yt.artemislena.eu/watch?v=9F_coLFmerg
Today in Labor History March 18, 1918: U.S. authorities arrested Mexican anarchist Ricardo Flores Magón under the Espionage Act. They charged him with hindering the American war effort and imprisoned him at Leavenworth, where he died under highly suspicious circumstances. The authorities claimed he died of a "heart attack," but Chicano inmates rioted after his death and killed the prison guard who they believed executed him. Magon published the periodical “Regeneracion” with his brother Jesus, and with Licenciado Antonio Horcasitas. The Magonostas later led a revolution in Baja California during the Mexican Revolution. Many American members of the IWW participated. During the uprising, they conquered and held Tijuana for several days. Lowell Blaisdell writes about it in his now hard to find book, “The Desert Revolution,” (1962). Dos Passos references in his “USA Trilogy.”
#Budget#UKPolitics This article by Gary Stevenson is so good, please read every word of it.
“Whatever Jeremy Hunt says, traders know the rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer. And they’re paid millions to bet on it.”
This is what the world is - it is run by a minute elite for a minute elite and the rest of us, the masses, the natural world, we just don’t count. It is a #TragedyOftheNonCommons (will reshare my own piece on this below 1/n)
I do disagree that revolutions are won by armies or violence. That's simply a recipe for male gangs. Revolutions win by anti-violence.
The human #revolution was exactly that -- laughter which disarmed and disallowed violence, establishing through a cosmic joke that some things are sacred.
