Spread this far and wide. Fascist Trump supports sending US citizens to concentration camps in El Salvador. Anyone his regime declares a "criminal" (code for - anyone who speaks out against his administration). If Trump continues to defy the courts, and law enforcement and the military won't uphold the constitution, it is time for civil disobedience and self-defense. We shall see soon...

REMEMBER 2020, 1968, 1878, 1791 — WE CAN WIN Thousands of years of kings, queens, emperors, presidents, & ministers demanding obedience. 500 years of crackers enslaving & colonizing this planet. 250 years of anglo/yankee domination. Trump this, Musk that. Democrats, Republicans, Zionists, Confederates, Fascists, Conservatives, Liberals, Progressives. So many flavors of the same expired bullshit. 2020: Cops executed George Floyd. A police station was burnt down. For a brief moment, the world opened up. 1968: White power executed MLK. Black communities erupted into rebellion. For a brief moment, the world opened up. 1878: Indigenous peoples in the South Pacific rose up in arms against european colonizers attempting to exterminate their communities & hijack their homelands. For a moment, the world opened up. 1791: Enslaved Africans & their descendants began an uprising in the Caribbean, destroying property, profit, & slavery. For a long moment, the world opened up. Whether a handful of friends or a massive crowd, we know that the footsoldiers of every regime can be defeated. The secret is to begin. « In Memory Of Our Fallen; Let us turn their cities into funeral pyres. In Memory Of Our Fighters; Let us honor your names with fire and gunpowder. Peace By Piece (A) » NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE! ¡QUEREMOS UN MUNDO DONDE QUEPAN MUCHOS MUNDOS!
Look for those pushing and help them push harder. Move together. Be water. They can control a march of 10,000 — they can’t control 10 marches of 1000. De-arrest. Don’t let people get grabbed. If they do, don’t let their cars or busses leave. They only care about money, so causing monetary losses is your only vote. On the inside, the demonstration is an organism of care and support. On the outside, it is ferocious and uncontrollable. Without their toys they are powerless. No one is coming to save us. Everything is at stake. www.notrace.how

Today in Labor History April 2, 1840: Émile Zola, French novelist, playwright, journalist was born. He was also a liberal activist, playing a significant role in the political liberalization of France, and in the exoneration of Alfred Dreyfus, the Jewish army officer falsely convicted and imprisoned on trumped up, antisemitic charges of espionage. He was also a significant influence on mid-20th century journalist-authors, like Thom Wolfe, Truman Capote, Hunter S. Thompson, Norman Mailer and Joan Didion. Wolfe said that his goal in writing fiction was to document contemporary society in the tradition of Steinbeck, Dickens, and Zola.

Zola wrote dozens of novels, but his most famous, Germinal, about a violently repressed coalminers’ strike, is one of the greatest books ever written about working class rebellion. It had a huge influence on future radicals, especially anarchists. Some anarchists named their children Germinal. Rudolf Rocker had a Yiddish-language anarchist journal in London called Germinal, in the 1910s. There were also anarchist papers called Germinal in Mexico and Brazil in the 1910s.
