RE: THE SPEECH FDR WOULD GIVE
 

This is the article that all Democratic candidates running for office,
any office, this year should read, and act on. This is how to get out
and rally the base.

      =====

Unlike Biden, when there was a genocide going on during FDR's
presidency, he went to war against the genocidal regime, rather than
funding, arming, and supporting it.

RE: END LEGAL SLAVERY IN THE UNITED STATES
 

Convict labor leasing,  a remnant of the Jim Crow era, rewards
employers with extra cheap convict labor. States have a $$ motive to
fill their prisons with, as it turns out, largely prisoners of color,
so they can lease them. The historic injustices of these programs are
appalling but, even worse, they continue to this day. Thanks to the
authors, the NYT and xxxxxx

for this essay. Ending the convict leasing programs is long overdue.

RE: ‘A WATERSHED MOMENT’: THE VIEW FROM UKRAINE
 

This article
[[link removed]]
and it's goals are truly horrible.

It simply is denying that someday, better sooner than later, there
will be negotiations around the ending of this god-awful slug fest.
 And, negotiations mean compromise on both sides.  Reality says that
Ukraine might have to give up more than it wishes. Or,

Instead of endless war and suffering on both sides., couldn't
negotiations begin on a vote  to be held in the disputed regions on
who wants to live where.  I believe the Minsk accords spoke to that,
were supported by both sides , but then war started 

This war is a growing danger to all of Europe-  Weren't 2 World Wars
enough!!!!!!!!  Of course, US war manufacturers make obscene amounts
of money from war.  I am not a Russian sympathizer and I abhor
invasions of other countries, having stood against them 

Since Vietnam which my own beloved country invaded followed by
Afghanistan, Iraq, and also  conducted bombing in Libya, Yemen, etc
 We have a leadership of liars and hypocrites. who think they should
run the world.

‘WHAT ALWAYS STRUCK ME WAS THAT THERE WAS NO JUSTICE’: AN
INTERVIEW WITH DERF BACKDERF ON THE STATE OF CAMPUS POLICING

Jason Bergman
June 13, 2024
The Comics Journal
[[link removed]]

_On May 4, 1970, the National Guard opened fire on protesters at Kent
State University, killing four and wounding nine. That event has never
felt more relevant, with images recalling those moments visible in
police opposition to the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020, and more
recently, the protests to the war in Gaza on college campuses. _

_With __Kent State__ so much in the zeitgeist of late, it felt like
a good time to talk to Derf Backderf [[link removed]],
whose 2020 graphic novel (the aptly titled _Kent State
[[link removed]])_ is a
methodical recreation of the events big and small that culminated in
the massacre. _

_We met up via Zoom to talk about those moments and their continued
significance, the importance of preserving unvarnished history, and
the long and varied career that gave him the confidence to take on
such a significant subject. _

_- Jason Bergman_

JASON BERGMAN: Well, the last few weeks have been filled with these
images of police confronting protesters, and also the anniversary of
Kent State, so it's good that we’re talking today. You've spent far
more time on this subject than almost anybody, so I’m curious to
know what went through your head when you were seeing these images. 

DERF BACKDERF: The similarities are chilling. I saw the same thing
during the BLM protests, of course. And now the Gaza protests, it's
just …dissent in this country is only really accepted when it comes
from the right. Public displays of dissent, that is. When it’s from
the right,  there's all kinds of talk about free speech, and the
right to expression, all that stuff. But when it's college students
coming from another place, then it's suddenly a threat. And at my alma
mater, which is Ohio State, not Kent State, they recently had snipers
on the roof of the student union looking down on this group of 50
peaceful protesters. Snipers! It's like, what the fuck? Have we
learned nothing here in the 50 years since the Kent State Massacre?
Apparently not. 

 

DENMARK’S EURO 2024 FOOTBALL SQUAD HAVE REFUSED A PAY RISE TO ENSURE
THE WOMEN’S TEAM RECEIVE EQUAL PAY.
 

Denmark made ‘powerful’ and ‘extraordinary’ step to refuse pay
rise before Euro 2024

Uma Gurav

However Denmark perform at Euro 2024 this summer, the men's squad
have already given their nation a great cause for celebration.
In mid June, it was reported that the Danish Euro 2024 squad had
refused a pay rise in order to make sure the women's national team
would earn the same level of basic pay.

 
Eriksen, who scored in Denmark's Euro 2024 opener, was among the
negotiations team who approved the new change
“The men’s team chose not to demand any changes in the conditions
in their new agreement," explained the director of the Danish
players’ union Spillerforeningen, Michael Sahl Hansen.

“It’s an extraordinary step to help improve the conditions of the
women’s national teams. So, instead of looking for better conditions
for themselves, the players thought about supporting the women’s
team.

"When we presented the plan to the negotiations team, which consisted
of Andreas Christensen, Thomas Delaney, Christian Eriksen,
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Simon Kjaer and Kasper Schmeichel, they were
very happy."

Denmark Men will take a 15 per cent decrease in their team insurance
coverage to allowed the women’s team coverage to be increased by 50
per cent as well as as an over 40 per cent increase for the Under-21
men’s team.

It is hard to sum up just how important the actions of the Denmark
national team are - now more than ever.

The organisation Women in Football
[[link removed]] (WIF) have released their annual
discrimination report and some of their findings make for grim
reading.

Perhaps the most shocking figure is that 89 per cent of women surveyed
have experienced discrimination in the workplace.

It is harder still to read that over 60 per cent of those who reported
an incident said that no action was taken as a result - indeed, 16 per
cent of them said they were not even listened to.

Another very telling figure revealed that 88 per cent of women working
in football believe women have to work harder than men to achieve the
same recognition and benefits - and 74 per cent of men agree with
them.

There is no major women's football competition this summer outside of
the Olympics - an event which the Home Nations will not be involved in
after the Lionesses' failure to qualify.
[[link removed]]

Paired with the fact that Euro 2024 is currently being held in
Germany, any many will likely make the mistake of thinking that
anything to do with women's football, as well as women _in _football
(note the distinction) has been placed on the backburner over summer.

But that is far from the truth.

As CEO of Women in Football Yvonne Harrison told talkSPORT that the
timing of this survey release had consequently been a very deliberate
decision.

"The women's football community are very strong and vocal and will
continue," she said. "And whilst we haven't got major tournaments,
we've got really exciting developments in terms of the NewCo within
England and the Barclays WSL and Women's Championships. So I think
that will stay live in people's minds."

WATCH TRAILER [[link removed]]  

REGISTER TO WATCH THE FILM AND ATTEND THE 21-DAY CONVERSATION ON
PALESTINE [[link removed]].

The film is subtitled in Arabic, English, French, German, Italian,
Spanish and Portuguese.

Where Olive Trees Weep is a beautiful, poignant, heartbreaking new
film about the struggles and the resilience of the Palestinian people
under Israeli occupation. It explores themes of loss, trauma, and the
quest for justice. It features Dr. Gabor Maté as he offers
trauma-healing work to Palestinian women who were tortured in Israeli
prisons.

The premiere is accompanied by 21 days of conversations on Palestine
with leading historians, spiritual teachers, trauma therapists, poets,
artists and more. June 6-27.

🎬To learn more visit: WhereOliveTreesWeep.com

The film gives background to the current crisis in Israel/Palestine
and brings to light the lives of people we met on our 2022 journey in
the occupied West Bank. Their universally human stories speak of
intergenerational pain, trauma and resilience.  We hope they touch
your heart, stir compassion and understanding, and give rise to a
pursuit for justice. For without justice, peace remains an empty
slogan.

Cinema can be a powerful force for change.  Our aim is, beyond mere
education, to truly move hearts and minds and inspire audiences to
echo the calls for freedom, equality and dignity that have gone
unanswered for far too long.

The film is our modest contribution towards our dream for an end to
the occupation in Palestine, the attainment of equal rights and fair
treatment for Palestinian people, and the spreading of healing for all
intergenerational cycles of trauma in the region.
