The Mexican government, functioning as the southern flank of US immigration policy, is blocking the delivery of buses to carry the caravan safely north which is in violation of Mexican law allowing immigrants right of passage.

Those who advocate punching a fascist in the face have an adolescent view of politics & no respect for the state & military power behind fascist goons. It’s such a privileged way of looking at things. Would punching out be of any use to Palestinians, Kashmiris, or Rohingyas against genocide or Afghans, Iraqis, Yemenis, Syrians against carpet bombing? Those who face savagery understand the character of fascism & do not consider fisticuffs an adequate response.
An estimated half of the Central American caravan are children. That is who Trump is threatening to shoot. Worse than crying ‘fire’ in a crowded theater, he should be prosecuted for inciting violence, endangering children, denying asylum to refugees.

Although the Central American refugee caravan has been determined to proceed, the participants are peaceful & do not engage in violence. But the white supremacist running this country has emboldened border security to shoot at any young kid who might throw a rock. He must have learned that from Israel & India. If so many did not hope Democrats would end all this if elected, there would be massive protests all over this country—which is the only thing that will end the sustained attacks on refugees.
Recent Brazilian rendition of ‘Bella Ciao’, an Italian folk song that originated in the 19th century as protest by women farm workers against harsh working conditions & became an anthem of anti-fascist resistance in the 1940s.

Free Rohingya Coalition statement on forcible deportation of Rohingya refugees to the killing fields of Arakan state: the plan formulated by the Burmese genocidaires, Bangladesh, & China (which armed the genocidaires) is opposed by Rohingya refugees because it includes no provisions for their safety & only means incarceration in concentration camps under apartheid conditions.
Don’t know how I missed the boat on this one. Please like & share the FB page of Free Rohingya Coalition, which Maung Zarni & Ro Nay San Lwin both play a leading role in. It’s the best place to get information on solidarity events & activities.
