On this day, 4 September 1895, Xiang Jingyu, communist and one of the pioneers of the Chinese women’s movement was born. She was an advocate for women’s rights, as part of the liberation of the working class, and criticised sexist practices in the Communist Party. She led a strike of thousands of female silk factory workers in 1924. She was involved in organising women’s support for the Canton-Hong Kong workers’ strike the following year. Unfortunately she was betrayed and arrested in 1928 by French police. The French handed her over to the Kuomintang, who then executed her, but before her death she refused to give up any names of her comrades.

October 30 2019 - Student protesters against the government of president Ivan Duque in Cali, Colombia fought riot police. [video]
they can’t fix the system or the trains but they have the money for this fohhh
so how much they going to be spending on someone to monitor all of those cameras
and how expensive facial recognition will be, upkeeping all of that, buying and upkeeping a server to store and process all that footage
and of course, cost of replacing those cameras about once a month because theyre fairly easy to damage, spraypaint, or encase in expanding insulation foamI swear to FUCK I went into a station the other day and like 40 people were in line at ONE card machine because the THREE OTHERS were all broken and people were jumping the turnstiles to get to their fucking jobs.
But no. No, we TOTALLY have the fucking money for this.
It has never been about fixing what is broken. It has ALWAYS been about criminalizing the poor and people of color at any given opportunity.
Fuck you, NYC.
