Hello comrades and happy Thursday to you. Today’s news recap includes news about the rising child labor crisis in the US and Russia, the US banking crisis, Florida’s new anti-Chinese/anti-communist laws, and a submission from Comrade Jeff in our Discord server (which you should join for Book Club tonight!)
On the international news front, police in France tear down an ACAB banner proving once and for all that police are not bastards — and they will show you by tearing up your sign, ok? Ok. Police in the UK began mass arrests ahead of the coronation of Charles III.
Finally in our Marxist history, we share a reminder of the Algerian Massacre and we host translations from Russian comrades regarding Victory Day.
The post concludes with upcoming events and ways to support the newsletters including joining a book club and buying a shirt!
