Iran has every right to defend itself

Murals And Money — palabra. Residents in San Diego’s historically Latino Barrio Logan sound the alarm over gentrification and a threat to the neighborhood’s landmark murals

My latest piece out on @palabranahj.bsky.social details how residents in San Diego’s historic Barrio Logan are sounding the alarm over gentrification, the threat to the neighborhood’s landmark murals & the parallels to other gentrifying Latino neighborhoods.

For sure. There is some imperial arrogance in the admin. But you are right, Iran is not Venezuela. Iran has much more advanced military and some regional countries that can help. Netanyahu is an extension of U.S. imperialism, I wouldn’t put the blame on just him.

Today, seeing how the Trump administration is moving military aircraft carriers towards the Middle East for a potential war with Iran is insane. The region is already littered with U.S. military bases. This would be a regional war.

Everyone needs to be against this war.

In January 2020, I remember thinking we were really close to going to war with Iran, or at least the closest in my lifetime, because Trump killed General Qasem Soleimani along with Iraqi officials. Iran retaliated with a measured strike. Then Covid-19 hit in March, and things kinda went quiet.

In 1973, Jesse Jackson & Angela Davis met with Crusade for Justice, a Chicano civil rights org fighting against police brutality. 6 years later, Jesse Jackson met with Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) leader Yasser Arafat in Beirut, Lebanon. Rest in Power, Jesse Jackson

Yesterday, news broke that an immigration judge dismissed the deportation case against Narciso Barranco, an undocumented landscaper who was violently arrested on June 21

My colleagues @kevin-flores.bsky.social & @bencamach0.bsky.social sat down w/ Barranco shortly after for @thesouthlander.com 👇

This is cool! Love all the easter eggs from Bad Bunny’s performance, and my favorite, not LA-related, was Lady Gaga.

On January 30, the Trump admin bypassed Congress to push billions in weapons to Israel

Last July, I wrote about LA politicians who have accepted money from pro-Israel lobby groups

Daniel Lee, a U.S. Air Force veteran with VetsAboutFace, speaks about the importance of coming out and supporting the call from Minnesota.

Rafael Avciodlu is not with an org and came out on his own to support the movement, and understands that it takes people's movements to make things change

Minnesota made the call, and Los Angeles answered! #GeneralStrike #ICEOUTOFLA

🪡 Happening now: Hundreds of people are gathered in front of Los Angeles City Hall, part of a nationwide call for a General Strike to stop ICE terror. A lot more people are still arriving.

Here are a few of the emails from Casey Wasserman, current chair of LA28, to Ghislaine Maxwell in the latest Epstein files drop

A lot of businesses across L.A. are closing tomorrow in solidarity with the people of Minneapolis and the nationwide movement to get ICE and DHS out of our communities.

Historic moment.

ICE kidnapped someone on this street corner. Now its empty. No flowers, no neighbors.

“officers found only one antique rifle and a pistol that belonged to the only white resident of the town. Nevertheless, they tied up 15 Mexican American men and boys from the village and shot them until they ran out of bullets”

*Border Patrol Agents, not ICE

Around 8:40 AM this morning, off 139th Street and Nestor Ave in the Compton neighborhood, ICE agents arrested two workers who were putting down concrete on a house they were working on.

The video was sent to me by a friend of a homeowner.

(earlier today) Frank Lara, a Chicano running for California State Superintendent of Public Instruction, addresses the crowd with some historical analysis of how our community has always stood against state repression.

Happening now: The people of Los Angeles have taken to the streets in response to the news that federal immigration agents have killed another legal observer in Minneapolis. This is the second person they've killed in Minneapolis this month.

Thanks to All Power Books for inviting me to talk about the Bolivarian revolution and Venezuela’s history of resisting the US empire.

DAILY MEMO: ICE and Border Patrol Continue Shooting and Assaulting Southern California Immigrants, Citizens, Women, and Minors

Friday at All Power

In recent days, US lawmakers met with Venezuela’s opposition leader, María Corina Machado, to discuss Venezuela’s future. The Democrats presented themselves as the “resistance” to Trump, yet their actions reflect loyalty to US imperialism.
