July 2016

Protests against Hillery's bought and paid for Democratic National Convention began as news broke that DNC chair Wasserman Schultz had resigned over hacker-released emails snowing systematic DNC efforts to favor Hillery over Sanders in the primaries. First up on Sunday, July 24 was the March for a Clean Energy Revolution. The lead contingent was Native Americans warning that no oil or gas pipelines would be permitted to cross their land and poison their water. Further back was a contingent opposing the TPP trade deal Hillery claims to oppose but is suspected of lying about that opposition. Later in the day a march of Bernie Sanders supporters marched all the way to the gates of the heavily fortified convention site.

On the 16th of July, activists under the name Afromation blockaded Baltimore's I-83 freeway after marching through the "Artscape" festival. Police used a false report of an ambulance to get protesters to move, then kettled as much of the crowd as they could, arresting 65 people. The "ambulance" turned out to be two police wagons Some of the arrestees were reported to be bystanders who had followed the march from Artscape out of curiosity to watch and were not protesters at all.

The Mexican bourgeoisie has once again shown its bloody face:
On Sunday, June 19, at Nochixlan, heavily armed federal police murdered a dozen striking teachers and villagers who supported them in cold blood. They were blocking a highway in the south to prevent federal police from going to the capital of the state of Oaxaca, where striking teachers organized an encampment.
