"It's not all that uncommon today for right-wing Christians in the United States to publicly demand that LGBT people be put to death. As recently as Pride month (June) of last year, in a sermon that went viral on Tik-Tok, Pastor Joe Jones of Shield of Faith Baptist Church in Boise, Idaho, called for all gay people to be executed...

While Uganda's new anti-gay law may be the most extreme on the continent, more than 30 other African countries already outlaw homosexuality to varying degrees. It's a little-known fact that right-wing and Christian nationalist churches from the United States have played a major role in formulating and promoting such laws. Since at least the early 2000s, those churches have poured millions of dollars into anti-gay organizing in Africa. According to Open Democracy, more than 20 U.S. evangelical groups have been involved in efforts to criminalize homosexuality there."

We are all, in fact, entering a new and ever grimmer era in American history.

Penalty phase enters second day in the trial of the man convicted of the 2018 Pittsburgh synagogue shooting. On June 16, Bowers was convicted on 63 charges, including 22 counts of hate crimes & obstruction of free exercise of religion resulting in death. https://www.counterextremism.com/extremists/robert-bowers

The attack is the worst on worshipping Jews in American history. According to authorities, Bowers accused Jews during the attack of “committing genocide of my people” and so he “just wanted to kill Jews.” https://www.counterextremism.com/anti-semitism-modern/antisemitism-resurgent-manifestations-antisemitism-21st-century/introduction

Robert Bowers is an American white nationalist who, on October 27, 2018, carried out the Tree of Life Synagogue shooting—the deadliest attack against the Jewish community in the United States. The shooting rampage killed 11 and wounded six others. Bowers was indicted by a federal court on charges ...

Christchurch mosque attack: Terrorist’s livestreamed video resurfaces on Twitter - the social media giant initially refused to remove the terror clip despite it being illegal in NZ, claiming the reported account that posted it “hasn’t broken our safety policies”. THIS IS WHY social media platforms CANNOT be allowed to "regulate" themselves. They are literally profiting from hate. Just like ANY OTHER INDUSTRY social media must have legally enforceable SAFETY STANDARDS. Using social media should not be harmful to your health and wellbeing.

As the writers’ strike continues, we should look back at the Hollywood blacklist. The blacklist didn’t just ruin many workers’ careers — it narrowed the range of acceptable movies and contributed to the conservatism of the 1950s.

"The last decade-and-a-half has been an era of white racial grievance - an era, as I've come to think of it, of "American whitelash."

Just as Royko argued, we've seen white supremacists carry out acts of violence that have been egged on by hateful, hyperbolic mainstream political rhetoric.

With a new presidential election cycle upon us, we're already seeing a fresh wave of invective that demonizes immigrants and refugees, stokes fears about crime and efforts toward racial equity, and villainizes anyone who is different.

Make no mistake: such fear mongering is dangerous, and puts real people's lives at risk."

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Wesley Lowery discusses violent acts against democracy by aggrieved white supremacists, and how a new election cycle raises the stakes.

Far-right Christian fundamentalist Julian Batchelor's recent event in Invercargill that is part of his anti-Māori racist Stop Co-Governance Tour, where he claimed that he's been told his supporters have been buying guns and called on his audience to go on the warpath, was supported by right-wing anti-Māori racist Invercargill Mayor Nobby Clark, creating a massive divide in the city. https://www.stuff.co.nz/pou-tiaki/132418111/invercargill-mayor-nobby-clark-called-out-for-creating-massive-racial-divide-with-his-antimori-comments

This week in 1942 BBC radio aired a broadcast about the ongoing N**i extermination of Jews in Poland. The source was the Ringelblum Archive, compiled by a group of historians in the Warsaw Ghetto who documented the Holocaust. Due to their efforts, many testimonies of the holocaust were documented and survived WW2

Happy Birthday fellow workers!

The Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) was founded June 27, 1905, in Chicago.

On this day in back in 1905, 200 socialists, Marxists, anarchists, and radical trade unionists gathered in Chicago and formed the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW). Wobblies continue to be a driving force with their demand for One Big Union.

www.onebigunion.ie
www.iww.org.uk
www.iww.org

Committed to a strategy of revolutionary industrial unionism, and with growing branches in countries throughout the world, including ourselves here in Ireland over the past numberof years, the IWW became a major force in the US labour movement into the 1920s.

The IWW remains active to this day inciting working class solidarity, direct action and revolutionary syndicalism in an effort to abolish the wage system and capitalism.
