Thousands of U.S. Students Arrested While Israel Invades Rafah
In a massive, nationally coordinated crackdown, the United States has arrested nearly 3,000 U.S. students in the last week. Many have been beaten, pepper sprayed, and tear gassed; expelled from their housing; and many will be expelled from their university altogether. Using U.S. bombs and missiles, the Israeli military has launched a devastating assault on people in Rafah-where more than one million Palestinians took refuge from previous Israeli bombing.

@@darkgardener9577Fascism, as defined by Mussolini who coined the phrase, is the coupling of government and big business to run the country. To do this, they suspend all civil rights and rule through martial law. This is definitely where we are in this country. All power is transferred to the biggest corporations and in this country, that is generally the Military Industrial Complex. It has actually been this way for years. We are now entering end game. What is being done to Palestine is what they have in mind for dissenters in this country. We are now slaves to the corporatocracy. This is fascism. .

I hope in Canada, we have something like this, but we learn from when we start walking that talk about religion, politics, racism, etc. Is unpolite and is very personal. I think is a way to silence people and to keep us quiet and in control. When you cannot talk about politics, share ideas with your friends, or in other public settings you lose a society, the society will not grow.
Song Tip: CAPITALISM SONG by eddy
Why am I only learning of this progressive channel today? Such an incisive analysis on the revolution unfolding by the courageous students that started in Columbia University and has since spread like wildfire internationally. The establishment monopoly capital class, with its media mouthpieces, army and repressive police forces, is indeed shaking in its boots. The progressive movement is winning. The Chinese/Russian/Iranian triumvirate is reshaping the world's trajectory towards a multipolar arc of justice, progress, development, mutual interdependence of the peoples of the Global South and North. The rules-based order is not only discredited it has died a violent death. How do you have senators threatening an international court when it must do its job against a genocide unfolding in real time and then expect the country they preside over to lecture the world on human rights and respect for rule of law? In the final analysis the strategic triumph of the Gaza conflict is that it has definitively exposed and killed the myth of the uber hypocritical western hegemony, replaced by a global unity of the progressive peoples' movements.
