The pressure to immigrate to the United States is itself the consequence of US foreign policy and worldwide neoliberal economic policies that have impoverished millions, forcing them to flee war zones and economic crises. Soon, we will see even more people displaced by environmental disasters caused by industrially produced climate change.

Again, these are the fault of the ruling class, not the poor.

By immiserating both overseas populations and residents of the United States while suppressing anti-capitalist protest movements, neoliberal centrists created a situation in which fascists can pretend to be the only ones offering an alternative. But the supposed alternative represented by politicians like Donald Trump will only speed up the process of wealth concentration that caused this problem in the first place.

Organize to resist fascism and abolish capitalism and the state.

Top UN court says Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories is illegal

The United Nations' highest court said on Friday that Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories and settlements there are illegal and should be withdrawn as soon as possible, in its strongest findings to date on the Israel-Palestinian conflict.

The advisory opinion by judges at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), known as the World Court, was not binding but carries weight under international law and may weaken support for Israel. read more

Good Idea: Open Source all software that has been developed for public bodies

https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/collection/open-source-observatory-osor/news/new-open-source-law-switzerland

Switzerland has passed a law requiring public sector software to be open source, aiming for more transparency, security, and efficiency. This means government software code must be shared publicly unless there are security or third-party rights issues. This change reduces dependence on proprietary software, encourages innovation, and potentially lowers costs. Despite initial resistance, extensive discussions led to this decision, which could inspire other countries to adopt similar measures, enhancing public trust and digital sovereignty.

Good Idea: Turn Start-Up to Start-Coop

https://coopcreator.ca/resource/how-to-start-a-cooperative/

Cooperatives offer a unique advantage over traditional startups by being democratically controlled and owned by their members, which means decisions are made collectively, and profits are shared among everyone involved. This shared ownership creates a strong sense of community and commitment. Co-ops also reduce individual financial risk by pooling resources and expertise, often focusing on long-term sustainability and meeting specific community needs. This collaborative approach can lead to cost savings and a more stable, resilient business.

Happy birthday to the first Black president of South Africa, Nelson Mandela! Here is a throwback to when Mandela shut down an ignorant journalist's question about his comradeship with “US enemies” like Fidel Castro on national TV.

Mandela retorted “One of the mistakes which some political analysts make is to think that their enemies should be our enemies.” His response was met with a deafening applause.
