Today in Labor History March 13, 1979: The Marxist New Jewel movement, led by Maurice Bishop, overthrew the prime minister of Grenada. Bishop led the People’s Revolutionary Government of Grenada until 1983, when he was overthrown and executed in a coup supported by the U.S. Bishop supported anti-racist struggles around the world and the fight to end Apartheid. Under his leadership, Granada gave women equal pay to men and provided paid maternity leave. They also banned sexual discrimination and introduced free public health and literacy programs that brought the national illiteracy rate from 35% down to 5%. In 1983, the U.S. invaded Granada. 19 U.S. soldiers and 45 Grenadian soldiers died in the fighting that ensued. The invasion effectively ended the so-called “Vietnam Syndrome,” where U.S. leaders feared that overt regime change, with U.S. boots on the ground, would spark large antiwar protests, like those that rocked the nation in the 1960s and early 70s. The Grenada invasion paved the way for much more aggressive interventions like Panama, Iraq, Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Libya and Syria.

MAINE VOICES FOR PALESTINIAN RIGHTSCommunity Events — MAINE VOICES FOR PALESTINIAN RIGHTS

In 1923, in the aftermath of the Great Kantō earthquake in Japan:

"Japanese police and bands of armed vigilantes killed ethnic Korean civilians and anyone they suspected of being Korean. Estimates of the death toll from the massacre vary, with most third-party sources citing fatalities ranging from 6,000 to 10,000."

Elon Musk's "affinity for Nazi salutes have also called into question his racial ideology, especially as a descendant of #Nazi sympathizers. That is according to his father, Errol Musk, who told the Podcast and Chill Network in November that the billionaire’s maternal grandparents supported #AdolfHitler and were members of the #German Nazi Party in #Canada before moving to #SouthAfrica in support of #apartheid."

Pay No Heed to the Rockets

I bought it bc it was recommended so much but I have to say I'm really disappointed in the tone so far. My Palestine TBR was hitting it out of the park every time but this brings it to a screeching halt. Di Cintio is VERY anti-resistance. 😫😡 He is in love with the literature so I'll keep going but his political impressions are 🗑

Oh man, if Europeans think what the US is doing to Ukraine is bad (and it is), wait till they hear what they’ve been doing to Palestine. Wait, what? They already knew? They didn’t give a shit? Worse?… They were (are) complicit?

No, say it ain’t so! But European Values™…

My goodness… the more you know.

“Keith Kellogg, the White House’s special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, characterised the US decision to cut off intelligence sharing and military aid to Kyiv as like beating a farm animal with a piece of wood.

‘I think the best way I can describe it is sort of like hitting a mule with a two-by-four across the nose’”

Despicable. How dare they treat white Europeans the exact same way they (and we) have always treated Brown and Black people? What are we, fucking Palestinians?

Something about panthers. Something about faces.
