Stop the Imperialist War on Iran
After giving mixed and contradictory messages, the Trump administration joined Israel’s attack on Iran, bombing at least three sites in the country early on June 22. Trump justified the strikes as necessary to stop Iran’s nuclear program from developing, the same reasons given by Israel for its ongoing onslaught.
These lies, reminiscent of G. W. Bush’s 2003 claims that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, hardly mask the true imperialist and colonial aims of Trump and Netanyahu. The US cannot tolerate any country developing independently of its power and to be rival to its interests, as Iran has done in the Middle East over the past few decades.
El pueblo contra ICE. Un levantamiento contra el terror del estado
Las escenas de vehículos de la Oficina de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas (ICE, por sus siglas en inglés) huyendo bajo una lluvia de piedras, ladrillos y todo tipo de proyectil improvisado por filas de personas apuntando a los agentes de la migra, tan odiados por el daño y el terror que siembran en sus comunidades. Un vehículo de ICE en llamas en medio de una intersección rodeado de personas lanzando fuegos artificiales, tomándose selfies e incluso bailando sobre el coche calcinado. Multitudes sobre un paso elevado lanzando objetos contra los policías en sus autos, rompiendo parabrisas y obligándolos a retirarse rápidamente con los escudos en alto. Filas de policías fuertemente armados disparando
The People vs. ICE: An uprising against state terror
The scenes of fleeing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) vehicles being pelted with rocks, bricks, and any other makeshift projectiles by lines of people taking aim at the despised migra agents inflicting so much harm and terror in their communities. A burning ICE vehicle in the middle of an intersection, with people setting off fireworks, taking selfies, and even dancing standing on the burnt-out car. Throngs of people on a highway bridge overpass dropping objects onto police in their cars, smashing windshields, and forcing the cops to quickly retreat from the scene with their shields up. Rows of heavily armed cops shooting rubber bullets and tear gas cannisters into crowds of anti-ICE protesters with complete disregard, intending to harm and provoke, while people make shields out of durable objects, trash can lids, and metal chairs.
