Today marks 3 years since Israel’s genocidal response to Palestinian freedom fighters breaching the Iron Dome. Since then, while around 800 Israelis were killed, over 74,000 Palestinians have been killed and 94% of people in Gaza are in urgent need of shelter. #FreePalestine

Last night, UE150 VP-Elect Darrion Smith spoke at Durham County meeting on behalf of our union along w community members, to demand a strict 12 mo moratorium on data centers. Instead the county decided on a 9-month “pause” w too many exceptions for “small” data centers.

greater percentage of children killed in Gaza than in Europe's holocaust. that's a hell of a statistic.
The scale of Israel's child killing in Gaza is historically extraordinary—and indefensible. #GazaGenocide

🚨Victory 🚨 Last night, Edgecombe Co passed 24 month moratorium on data centers ! At Nov 3 mtg, hyperscale data center in Kingsboro looked like done deal. But the people organized and won! 1988: No regional hazardous waste dump! 1996: No IBP! 2026: No data center!

Rest in Power Comandante Ramiro Valdés Menéndez. 🫡 Today, Cuba says goodbye to one of its last giants. 🇨🇺 Moncada. The Granma. The Final Offensive. He was there for all three. Every single one. There is almost no one else you can say that about. Viva la revolucion Cubana!

May 25, 1991: Operation Carlota ended. That day, the last Cuban soldiers came home after 16 years in Southern Africa. They didn’t just defend Angola, they freed Namibia & broke apartheid’s back. One of the greatest acts of internationalism in history. The world still owes Cuba.
