MILLIONS RESIST FASCISM IN BRAZIL
[[link removed]]
_Forrest Hylton_ / London Review of Books
In a textbook case of the unintended consequences of perverse
behaviour, the failed coup has rallied and unified the disparate, even
incompatible elements in Lula’s impossibly broad democratic
coalition as perhaps nothing else could have, and opened the door to
reforming the police and military sooner rather than later.

WION (New Delhi)
The crowd blocked streets in central Tel Aviv as participants chanted
in protest of leading far-right members of the government and to
demand equal rights for Jewish and Arab Israelis. According to the
organizers, at least 20,000 people participated at the demonstration.

SMALL REBELLIONS: HAITI AND DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

_Saudi Garcia_ / Africa is a Country (New York)
While the Dominican Republic is experiencing a racial and civil rights
awakening, Haiti is experiencing a massive popular uprising against
imperialism and white supremacy. With Haiti on the eve of being
invaded by the US and supra-national forces like the UN Security
Council, there is a deep sense of uncertainty and even hopelessness
among the people.

UK: TIME FOR UNITED ACTION

_Jeff Slee_ / Labour Hub (London)
The best way to win pay rises and push back the attack on jobs and
conditions across all sectors is for trade unions to co-ordinate our
actions. You don’t have to follow the calls from some for a
‘general strike’ to realise that if all unions in a fight were to
stage a strike together, with rallies in towns and cities across the
country, we would land a heavy blow. In unity, as we all know, is
strength.

CHILE: THE NEW CANNOT BE BORN

_Marian Schlotterbeck and Mario Garcés Durán_ / NACLA Report (New

A longtime analyst of Chilean social movements reflects on the
country’s multiple lefts and power relations within the ongoing
“process of change.”

Police are arresting Last Generation activists in the western German
village of Luetzerath, which has been slated for demolition to enable

numbering as many as 2,000, around 200 anti-coal activists remain as
of Wednesday morning.

Commercial and Industrial Workers Union (CIWU), talks about conditions

YOUTH AND POLITICS IN AUSTRALIA

_Matt Grudnoff_ / The Guardian (London)
The silent generation and the boomers, on average, vote right and gen
X voting habits don’t appear to have changed much over their
lifetime. As they age, however, millennials appear to be going in
entirely the opposite direction. Moving more to the left.
