"They showed me pictures of protests that I wasn’t even in. They showed me pictures of [information about] upcoming events, only a few of which were actually protests, the other which were just meetings and free food events."

“'Labour' govt 'to ban anti-genocide group'. Palestine Action to be added to list of proscribed groups next to ISIS, al-Qaeda - for trying to stop mass murder of Palestinians. Throwing paint is terrorism, helping bomb civilians isn't, apparently...”

Baptiste André, Rima Hassan, Reva Viard and Pascal Marieras are on board the ‘Madleen’ which is fast approaching Gaza. According to the Israeli military and sources in Israeli media, the vessel is soon due to be forcibly intercepted, likely within 24 hours. The crew on the ‘Madleen’ call on the President of the French Republic to ensure their safe passage and to respect the sovereign rights of the Palestinian people over their own territorial waters. As signatory to the United Nations Charter, the Rome Statute, and the United Nations Conventions against Apartheid and Genocide, the French Republic is obliged to ensure their safe, unimpeded passage as they attempt to deliver humanitarian aid and do all that it can to end the genocide.

Today in Labor History June 7, 1892: The authorities arrested Homer Plessy for refusing to leave his seat in the "whites-only" car of a train. He lost the resulting court case, the landmark Plessy v. Ferguson Supreme Court decision, which codified segregation and paved the way for Jim Crow. The ruling is commonly known as “separate, but equal,” and was later ruled “unequal” in actuality, in 1954, in Brown v Board of Education.

On the one-year anniversary of Plessy’s act of civil disobedience, Mahatma Gandhi was forcibly ejected from a train in Pietermaritzberg, South Africa for refusing to vacate a 1st class carriage for a white man, in a similar act of civil disobedience.

SEIU President David Huerta, injured and arrested by ICE in Los Angeles yesterday, after trying to block ICE agents from arresting people at a worksite.

“What happened to me is not about me; This is about something much bigger. This is about how we as a community stand together and resist the injustice that’s happening. Hard-working people, and members of our family and our community, are being treated like criminals. We all collectively have to object to this madness because this is not justice. This is injustice. And we all have to stand on the right side of justice," said Huerta.

Neuer Stadtteilladen von Berg Fidel Solidarisch

"Wir, die Stadtteilgewerkschaft Berg Fidel Solidarisch, mieten seit dem 1. April 2025 einen Raum in unserem Viertel Berg Fidel in Münster und verfügen so erstmals seit unserer Gründung über eigene Räumlichkeiten. Auf Anfrage der lowerclass-Redaktion wollen wir in diesem Text darüber reflektieren: Wie sah unsere bisherige Arbeit ohne eigenen Raum aus? Warum kommt dieser Schritt „so spät“? Und vor allem: welche Veränderungen sehen wir darin für unsere zukünftige Praxis?

Wir beobachten seit einiger Zeit ein wieder wachsendes Interesse an revolutionärer Stadtteilorganisierung. Im Zuge des Beratungs-Organisierungs-Ansatzes1, aber auch abseits davon, haben sich viele neue Stadtteilgewerkschaften gegründet. Wir hoffen, dass unser Text so auch viele Genoss*innen erreichen kann, für die gerade am Anfang die Frage nach eigenen Räumlichkeiten vermutlich eine zentrale Frage ist."

Actor Liam Cunningham was among a huge crowd of local and international supporters who gathered in solidarity as they bid the Madleen farewell from Catania, Sicily. He highlights the inaction of governments worldwide in response to overwhelming and unambiguous proof of Israel’s genocide being carried out in Gaza. In the context of government complicity in failing to uphold their obligations under international law, he reminds us that actual change is always driven by the people.

For those of you too young to remember, Anita Bryant was the 1958 Miss Oklahoma beauty pageant winner, and a brand ambassador for the Florida Citrus Commission from 1969 to 1980, a pop singer with 3 hit songs, AND one of the most vocal and prominent anti-LGBTQ activists of the late 1970s. She ran a campaign to repeal a Miami-Dade County, Florida ordinance outlawing discrimination based on sexual orientation. LGBTQ activists and prominent figures in music, film, and television retaliated by boycotting orange juice she promoted, causing her to be blacklisted, contributing, ultimately, to her having to file for bankruptcy twice. On October 14, 1977, she repeatedly told a television audience that she "loves homosexuals, but hates their sin," resulting in her getting pied in the face by LGBTQ writer and activist, Thom L. Higgins.

In 1978, she promoted the Briggs Initiative in California, which would have gotten any public school teacher fired for making any pro-lgbtq statements. Interestingly, it was opposed not only by liberals, but by President Jimmy Carter, Governor Jerry Brown, former president Gerald Ford, as well as Ronald Reagan, resulting in its massive defeat at the polls.
