Today in Labor History March 21, 1965: 3,200 people began the third march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, to protest racial violence. Earlier efforts to hold the march had failed when police attacked demonstrators and a minister was fatally beaten by a group of Selma whites. The five-day walk ended March 26, when 20,000 people joined the marchers in front of the Alabama state Capitol in Montgomery. This time they were defended by national guards and FBI agents. Soon after, Congress passed the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

“The City of Tempe and the Tempe #Police shut down the Tempe Free Market today. This event has been in Daley park for over two years without incident. This market provides free clothing, household necessities and more from local nonprofits and community members.

The City of Tempe and the Tempe police continue to harass community members who are trying to help each other. In a time of economic struggle. Arresting people for feeding the #homeless. Harassing community events that help people who are struggling. Do better Tempe! #tempe #arizona”

“Just hours after the summoning and interrogation of our peer, Lana Kamleh in #Jerusalem by Israeli #police another peer of ours, journalist Latifeh Abdelatif was taken and her detention extended by Israeli authorities until tomorrow (Monday, March 17).

In the #WestBank we’re witnessing unprecedented frequency of Israeli raids— this comes after the depopulation campaigns in the north where tens of thousands of #Palestinians are without shelter— their own homes bulldozed, burned, or bombed to the ground by trigger happy colonial soldiers.

What is happening now is an increase of Israeli attacks at all fronts, including armed settlers in civilian clothing, settlers conscripted to the army, and judicial assault.

This is not #war, it is a clear and explicit operation of eradicating Palestinian cities and towns, while pushing Palestinians out either dead or as an asylum seeker.”

“This is the Trump administration desperate to meet the goals that it’s set to carry out its mass deportation agenda. But he’s having trouble reaching those numbers, because he doesn’t have the manpower and the infrastructure to actually rip away people who have years and years of life in our communities and are deeply entwined.” https://www.texasobserver.org/local-state-police-ice-287g-task-force/

My latest: Last year, I covered the chaos as a peaceful protest for #Palestine at the University of Texas at #Austin was attacked by state troopers and local police. Unknown to me, a respected UT professor I'd interviewed for other stories was also there, and was about to have an encounter with cops that would cost him his career.

Today, Austin Free Press is releasing video from that incident showing the trooper deliberately shoving him multiple times. https://austinfreepress.org/days-of-rage/

Fusion centers act as back doors for I.C.E. in sanctuary cities. Fusion centers in sanctuary cities need to stop sharing a roof with I.C.E. agents, and stop sharing fucking surveillance data with them!

Fusion centers are inherently deeply problematic, but stopping illegal cooperation with I.C.E. in sanctuary cities is an obvious and urgent first step to minimizing harm!
