Delicious lunch at Black Diamond Oyster Bar’s patio: fried pickles and the fried shrimp sandwich. So relieved to have gotten my first Covid vaccine! This is maybe the second or third time I have eaten AT a restaurant since the pandemic started, and even then, only on the patio. #IEatFoodJustLikeYou #blackdiamondoysterbar #corpuschristi #delicious #lunch #shrimpsandwich #friedpickles #tastycakes #eatlocal #cheatday #noms #patiodining #likethebeforetimes #WitnessMyBeanChewing

Virtual planning meeting: Tell Kroger to stop closing stores over hero pay
Wednesday, March 24 - 6:30 pm Pacific
Hosted by Los Angeles Workers Assembly
SHUT DOWN CORPORATE GREED - NOT OUR SUPERMARKETS!
Join us on 3/24 for a virtual organizing meeting to plan a united community & labor fight back against Kroger. Register here
Hazard Pay is a just demand for workers who risk their lives and the lives of their families, just by going to work. The City of Long Beach & the City of LA put that demand into law for essential grocery store workers.
The answer from Krogers? The largest grocery chain in the U.S. whose profits are off the charts because of the pandemic thumbed their nose at the law, cried poverty and announced they would CLOSE FIVE LOCAL GROCERY STORES!
This greedy corporation wants to wipe out hundreds of jobs and leave some communities with precious little access to fresh, reasonably priced food. ‘Food deserts’ have plagued poor communities and especially Black and Brown communities for decades.
We cannot allow this giant corporation to destroy the livelihoods of hundreds and erase the access to supermarkets that people have fought for.
Log on to this virtual planning meeting to add your ideas and volunteer to help build a campaign for hazard pay for front line workers, and to stop food deserts in low-income communities within Los Angeles.
FIRST STEP: help plan and mobilize for a Rally @Ralphs.Please reach out to laworkersassembly@gmail.com for any questions.

On this day, 20 March 1975, Operation Red Snake of the Paraná began in Argentina, when the government of Isabel Perón sent hundreds of police and troops into the town of Villa Constitución to break the organisation of militant industrial workers. They arrested 307 workers, but the working class fought back, going on strike and occupying their plants until the detainees were released. The occupations lasted until March 26 when they were forcibly broken up by police. Over the next two months the government continued to arrest, blacklist and kill workers in the name of fighting “subversion”. This sort of repression is well-known under the military dictatorship but much less so under Peron, who had the support of most unions. https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1676847799167030/?type=3

What Really Happened in the Congo: Belgium’s ‘Heart of Darkness’
Leopold famously said when he was forced to hand over the Congo Free State to the Belgian nation: “I will give them my Congo but they have no right to know what I have done there,” and proceeded to burn archives.

Did y’all know about this?
Religious terrorism of the highest order
Always reblog. We never talk about the African Holocaust do we?
The way this has been erased from the surface of the planet, my country still suffers today.
Quite possibly the worst genocide that ever happened on this planet in recorded history. Yet who knows about it?

Biden’s unity is a compromise with and among anti-Black white supremacists. American unity always is. It is amnesty for torturers as long as their victims are not white and as long as any resulting suffering is borne chiefly by Black people. It is never imagined as unity with the groups and efforts committed to the radical defence of Black survival but a unity with and among their enemies.
Trump, like every white supremacist politician before him, called for a return to the time when America was great. Biden calls for a return to an imagined time of unity, when the temperature in America was cooler. Neither politician has been specific about the time they are speaking about. To do so would be to expose the big lie that is America. It is not the land of the free. It is a colony.
