Today in Labor History July 21, 1921: Hundreds of antifascist activists chased off 600 fascists in Sarzana, Italy, who were trying to free several a fascist squad from prison, after they opened fire. Led by the anti-fascist Arditi del Popolo, the people chased the fascists into the neighboring hills, killing 18 of them. Sarzana continued to be a center of partisan resistance to fascism during World War Two.

I generally like Mehdi Hasan and have a lot of respect for his work, BUT

I thought we all knew that we do NOT debate fascists.
We do NOT give them a platform.
We do NOT legitimise their hateful ideology with our names.
Worst of all if we happen to be recognised, respected figures.

Fascism is to be smashed, not publicly debated.

We've been through this before. ✊🏽🏴🚩

UPSTATE NY HEALTH INSURANCE

I work for New York State Of Health and they have implemented a new policy that requires us to report inquiries about health insurance status related to immigration to the Department of Health, which may then forward that information to immigration authorities. This marks a change from our previous policy of not sharing such information! Our TERMS, RIGHTS, AND RESPONSIBILITIES still says “The state will not report any information on this application to a federal immigration agency.” This is now a lie and you can SUE NEW YORK STATE for this lie. Please be careful when you apply for health insurance, some of my coworkers don’t care and will heartlessly report any and everyone and ICE may come for you! Stay vigilant.

-Thank you for listening. I cannot stand by watching while this world goes to hell. Help each other before it’s too late!
