Summary:

Senator Rick Scott issued a "formal travel advisory for socialists visiting Florida," warning that the state is "openly hostile" to socialists and their enablers. This statement was in response to recent travel advisories issued by social justice groups declaring Florida an unsafe state for certain minority groups. Scott used similar language found in the NAACP's advisory, seeming to mock the dangers outlined by the civil rights group by drawing parallels to President Biden.

Summary:

The G7 summit in Hiroshima issued an ultimatum to Russia, demanding its unconditional surrender and withdrawal from Ukraine, with no concessions offered. The decision to arm Ukraine with nuclear-capable F16 fighter jets and impose further sanctions on Russia indicates a military escalation and the intention to force regime change in Moscow. The G7 also attacked China, accusing it of threatening other countries' military and economic security, and urged Beijing to join the front against Russia. The G7's war policy stems from a position of weakness, and the escalation of the war in Ukraine and confrontation with China serves to suppress the growing contradictions between its members. The danger of a nuclear catastrophe can only be averted by an international movement of the working class and youth that is completely independent of the bourgeois parties and combines the fight against war with the fight against its cause, capitalism.

Summary:

The US is facing a deep financial crisis due to its public debt, which is currently at 31 trillion dollars, equivalent to 121% of the country's GDP. Yankee imperialism maintains this level of debt through its financial and economic hegemony over the world, but the machinery of monopoly economics has its limits. The US economy is facing serious problems, and the prospects of the Biden administration are to negotiate with the Congress to extend the public debt limit. Meanwhile, in Spain, companies like "Desokupa" are part of the counter-revolutionary plan of the ideological offensive of the Spanish State, using illegal violence to combat and eliminate the organized force of the masses. In Germany, the police carried out house raids against climate activists of the organization "Last Generation" accusing them of supporting and forming a criminal organization, despite the fact that the organization is non-violent and demands decisions in the framework of bourgeois legality.

Yankee imperialism, giant with feet of clay – The Red Herald

Comrades- my friend Andrey found letters that his sister sent from a Pioneer camp in the USSR:

June 2, 1985 Hello, my dear mommy, daddy and Andrey!

I'm fine.  On May 31 and June 1, we were alone in the camp, the arrival began today, we walked around the camp, picked up a lot of cones, it seems, with seeds, ate, lived without a regimen.  During these days I managed to read the book "School Years", our Pioneer leader had given it to us.  We don't go swimming yet.  The weather is not hot, in the evenings we wear tracksuits.  There are very beautiful sunsets here: the sky turns pink, the water too.  There are a lot of flowers here, not far from our building there is a huge flower bed with rose bushes, the flowers are very large, bright red, pink, yellow-pink and cream, they smell so nice.  The windows overlook the sea.

The view from the window is excellent: you can see the mountains, the whole Tsemess Bay.  The mountains change their appearance almost every hour.  This morning they were not visible behind the haze, yesterday afternoon you could clearly see every corner of the mountains, and the sea was covered with whitecaps, last night the north-east blew, and the mountains were all in cumulus clouds, the clouds swirled as if on volcanoes.  There are a lot of trees here.  We have two squirrels, a black and a red one, yellow, green, blue budgerigars, peacocks, when the peacocks spread their tails, all the feathers with eyespots, gray fluff are visible, then there are, it seems to me, pheasants, and hens and roosters sit on trees. There are walnuts, peaches.  They feed us so that we can hardly move our legs afterward.  Today, the arrival began at 5:30, the leaders lined up, a band was playing, the girls in our room seem to be good.

I, Paramonova and Marina are from Saratov, the other three are from Krasnodar.  Our leaders are very good, they said that we would go to Kabardinka, on hikes.  My flip-flops have been torn, they can no longer be fixed, when we go to Kabardinka, should I buy flip-flops? Today there will be a get-acquaintеd event and a concert, I will write about them later.  Every evening we will have events, in the evenings either discos or movies.  There will be many circles, a library.   Well, that's all.  Write how you are doing.  How was Andrey's kids party?  How are things at the summer cottage?  By the way, when we were driving, they were selling strawberries.  How is it going, and what's new in Saratov?

Goodbye.  Kiss you hard.  Inna. Here is my exact address, I will write the index on the envelope. 353480, the index is exact. Krasnodar Krai, Kabardinka settlement of the Gelendzhik City Council, p / l "Express", 3rd detachment, 1 building, 6th room.

PS.  Peacocks sometimes begin to yell like stray cats.  We will take a shower either once or twice.  It's actually interesting here, the leaders know a lot of interesting games, funny songs.  Now we are standing at the post, at the main entrance, because our detachment is on duty.  I wish there would be a medical examination, because it will be possible to swim.  Brezhneva now seems to be at Signal, she promised to come on Monday, so if she comes, I will give the letter to her, and if not, then I will throw it in the box.  Sorry for the sloppy handwriting, it's not comfortable to write.  Goodbye.  Kiss.  Inna. This is the view from the window, I'll draw better later Balcony

My bed and nightstand.

In Russian: Здравствуйте, дорогие мои мамуленька, папуленька и Андрюшенька! У меня всё хорошо. 31 и 1 мая мы были одни в лагере, заезд начался сегодня, мы гуляли по лагерю, набрали очень много шишек, кажется, с семенами, ели , жили без режима. За эти дни я успела прочитать книгу "Школьные годы", нам дала её вожатая. Купаться мы пока не ходим. Погода стоит не жаркая, вечерами ходим в спортивных костюмах. Здесь очень красивые закаты: небо становится розовым, вода тоже. Здесь очень много цветов недалеко от нашего корпуса есть огромная клумба с розовыми кустами, цветы очень крупные, ярко-красного, розового, жёлто-розового и кремового цвета, они так приятно пахнут. Окна выходят на море. Вид из окна отличный: видны горы, вся Цемесская бухта. Горы меняют свой вид почти каждый час. Сегодня утром за дымкой их не было видно, вчера днём отчётливо виделся каждый уголок гор, а про морю гуляли белые белые кружевные барашки, вчера вечером подул норд-ост, и горы были все в кучевых облаках, облака клубились как-будто на вулканах. Здесь очень много деревьев. У нас есть две белочки, чёрная и рыжая, попугаи волнистые, жёлтые, зелёные, голубые, павлины, когда павлины распускают хвосты, видны все перья с глазками, серый пух, потом есть, кажется, фазаны, а куры и петухи сидят на деревьях. Растут орехи, персики. Кормят нас так, что потом еле ноги передвигаешь. Сегодня с 5:30 начался заезд, вожатые выстроились в линеечку, встречали с оркестром, в нашей комнате девчонки, кажется, хорошие. Я, Парамонова и Марина из Саратова, остальные три из Краснодара. Вожатые у нас очень хорошие, сказали, что будем ходить в Кабардинку, в походы. У меня порвался сланец, его сделать уже нельзя, когда пойдём в Кабардинку, мне покупать сланцы? Сегодня будет вечер знакомств и концерт, о них я напишу потом. Каждый вечер у нас будут мероприятия, вечерами то дискотеки, то кино. Здесь будет много кружков, библиотека. Ну вот и всё. Пишите, как у вас дела. Как прошёл утренник у Андрюши? Как дела на даче? Кстати, когда мы ехали, продавали клубнику. Как и что нового в Саратове? До свидания. Крепко-крепко целую. Инна. Мой точный адрес, индекс напишу на конверте. 353480, индекс точный. Краснодарский край, посёлок Кабардинка Геленджикского горсовета, п/л "Экспресс, 3 отряд, 1 корпус, 6 комната. PS. Павлины иногда начинают орать, как-будто кошки бездомные. Купаться в душе будем или один, или два раза. Здесь вообще-то интересно, вожатые знают много интересных игр, смешных песен. Сейчас мы стоим на посту, у центрального входа, потому что наш отряд дежурный. Скорее бы был медосмотр, потому что можно будет купаться. Брежнева сейчас кажется в "Сигнале", обещала прийти в понедельник, так что, если она придёт, письмо отдам ей, а если нет, то кину в ящик. Извините, что корявый почерк, писать не удобно. До свидания. Целую. Инна. Это вид из окна, потом лучше нарисую Балкон Моя кровать и тумбочка She made a mistake in the beginning (she wrote 1 мая instead of 1 июня)
