Organisers claim that up to 150,000 joined the protest in Madrid while smaller demonstrations were held in about 40 cities across the country. Protesters from Málaga on the Costa del Sol to Vigo in the Atlantic northwest chanted “end the housing racket” and “landlords are guilty, the government is responsible”.

Millions March Against Trump-Musk in Nationwide 'Hands Off' Protests
In communities across the United States and also overseas, coordinated "Hands Off" protests are taking place far and wide Saturday in the largest public rebuke yet to President Donald Trump and top henchman Elon Musk's assault on the workings of the federal government and their program of economic sabotage that is sacrificing the needs of working families to authoritarianism and the greed of right-wing oligarchs.

Senate approves Republican plan for trillions in tax breaks and spending cuts
One crucial challenge ahead will be for the House to accept the way the Senate’s budget plan allows for extending the tax cuts under a scoring method that treats them as not adding to future deficits, something many House Republicans reject. A new estimate from the joint committee on taxation projects the tax breaks will add $5.5tn in debt over the next decade when including interest, and $4.6tn not including interest.

A Demonstrator’s Guide to Lockdowns and Blockades
A complete guide to assembling and employing lockboxes and other means of blockading. There is a broad spectrum of tactics to choose from between simply holding up a protest sign and setting things on fire. If you are looking to intensify a pressure campaign or to stand your ground more effectively when challenged, consider the following options. From the vantage point of 2025, more than two decades after the original version of this guide was published in the book Recipes for Disaster, civil disobedience has become somewhat more dangerous as far-right politicians have put more laws on the books and police and other fascists have become less concerned with preserving human life. Civil disobedience presumes that your adversary is constrained from inflicting permanent harm upon you. In some cases, if you are prepared to get arrested, you may be able to accomplish a great deal more by remaining mobile and risk-tolerant rather than engaging in an activity that is scripted to end in arrest. Nonetheless, there are still many regions and contexts in which the following information will be applicable.

KM On The NTF-ELCAC Threats Against Underground Organizations’ Protests: Philippines
Yesterday, the NTF-ELCAC (National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict) chided the revolutionary organizations for holding mobilizations for the occasion of the New People’s Army’s 56th anniversary. The fascist, anti-people, and faux-patriotic Task Force impotently wails at the actions held in UP and PUP on March 29. Not surprisingly, the NTF-ELCAC claimed as a sign of weakness the fact that the protests were held in-campus instead of more public venues. The NTF further states that they will elicit the support of the PNP in investigating the mobilizations. In doing so, they assert that they will root out “recruitment” and “radicalization” while respecting academic freedom The NTF pretends to care about academic freedom out of fear of incurring further political setbacks. But it must be clear that academic freedom is fundamental, it cannot have half-stops especially so in the name of the preservation of a corrupt social order and state.Post too long.

Trump administration celebrates rise in self-deportations: ‘We’re seeing sky-high levels of reverse migration’
By losing their legal status, many migrants will find themselves without work, and some may want to return to their home countries. However, the majority will likely remain in the United States despite their fears. Lawyers caution that the decision to leave voluntarily should be carefully weighed, as the official narrative surrounding a potential return may be misleading.

Celebrate the New People’s Army on its 56th Anniversary!
The National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP) greets the New People’s Army (NPA) on its 56th Anniversary on March 29, 2025. For almost six decades, the NPA has fought eight bureaucrat-capitalist, pro-imperialist and landlord-controlled regimes, exemplifying the Filipino people’s spirit of courage and determination for democracy and independence. In the tradition of the Katipunan, the NPA started as a small, poorly-armed force in 1969. But with the support of the oppressed and exploited Filipino people, it grew into a force so formidable that the semi-colonial and semi-feudal ruling state considered it the number one threat to its power.

With Section 230 Repeal, Dems and Media Offer Trump New Censorship Tools
In a move that threatens to constrain online communication, congressional Democrats are partnering with their Republican counterparts to repeal a niche but crucial internet law. According to tech trade publication the Information (3/21/25), Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin (Ill.) has allied with Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham (S.C.) to reintroduce a bill that would repeal Section 230, a provision of the 1996 Communications Decency Act. Section 230 dictates that when unlawful speech occurs online, the only party responsible is the speaker, not the hosting website or app or any party that shared the content in question. Section 230 grants platforms the ability to moderate without shouldering legal liability, a power that has historically had the effect of encouraging judicious content management (Techdirt, 6/23/20). Additionally, it indemnifies ordinary internet users against most civil suits for actions like forwarding email, sharing photos or videos, or hosting online reviews. Dissolving the provision would reassign legal responsibility to websites and third parties, empowering a Trump-helmed federal government to force online platforms to stifle, or promote, certain speech. While the ostensible purpose of the repeal, according to Durbin, is to “protect kids online,” it’s far more likely to give the Trump White House carte blanche to advance its ultra-reactionary political agenda.

This State Is For Sale
If you own a Fortune 500 business, you probably incorporated it in Delaware. The state has long been favored by corporate America, offering tax-benefits and a bespoke, pre-Revolutionary War court system tailored to business needs. But now Delaware’s standing as the country’s top corporate haven is under attack. This week on Lever Time, senior podcast producer Arjun Singh sits down with The Lever’s Katya Schwenk and Luke Goldstein to learn why the tiny East Coast state has been corporate America's haven for decades. But there’s more to the story. Why are other states now battling to seize its title — and how does it impact the rest of us? And how is the involvement of Elon Musk making everything worse? The Lever's reporting explains why Delaware is ground zero in the national oligarch takeover and why what happens in Delaware doesn’t stay in Delaware. It means corporate deregulation from coast to coast.

Get out of the state of shock! – On the automobile crisis
On the 20th of December 2024, VW’s works council and management agreed on an austerity programme that, among other things, would result in the elimination of 35,000 jobs by 2030 – most of the jobs will be cut in ‘too expensive’ factories in Germany. The production of the VW Golf is to be moved entirely to Mexico. Job cuts are also intensifying among suppliers, and are reaching machine and plant manufacturers (Kuka Augsburg). Mercedes wants to double the share of production in low-wage countries from 15 to 30 per cent – in Kecskemét, Hungary, costs are claimed to be 70 per cent lower than in Germany. In 2023, an hour’s work in Hungary cost 12.80 Euros, compared to 41.80 in Germany. At nine per cent, corporate tax is lower than anywhere else in the EU. In addition, Orbán subsidises Audi, BMW and Volkswagen with hundreds of millions of Euros. The country is attracting people from Kazakhstan and Mongolia to counteract the shortage of labour and rising wages.

While this is true, i'm not entirely sure the Soviets would have protected Syria either if they had been busy with a war in Ukraine.

Also during the last 20 to 30 years, Arab nationalism was less effective at counter hegemonic activities than para-state groups like Hezbollah or the Houties. The only exception is Iran where it's gone the other way. Maybe it being such a large country is the reason.

Prince Andrew sex accuser Virginia Guiffre ‘has days to live’ after ‘car crash’
Sex trafficking victim Virginia Guiffre has claimed she has ‘four days to live’ after being hit by a bus.

The woman abused by Jeffrey Epstein as a teenager, and who has also accused Prince Andrew, shared a photo of herself lying in a hospital bed coverered in bruises.

Bidding farewell to her loved ones ones, mum-of-three Ms Guiffre wrote on Instagram: ‘This year has been the worst start to a new year, but I won’t bore anyone with the details but I think it important to note that when a school bus driver comes at you driving 110km as we were slowing for a turn that no matter what your car is made of it might as well be a tin can.

‘I’ve gone into kidney renal failure, they’ve given me four days to live, transferring me to a specialist hospital in urology.

‘I’m ready to go, just not until I see my babies one last time, but you know what they say about wishes. ST in one hand and wish in the other & I guarantee it’s still going to be st at the end of the day.

‘Thank you all for being the wonderful people of the world and for being a great part of my life. Godbless you all xx Virginia’.

>Since becoming a member of NATO in March 2024, Sweden's Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) has accelerated inspections and modernization processes for these bunkers, as per the report. The two to three-year project involves upgrading critical filtration systems to protect against chemical and radiological weapons

>Fuckin snownigs
yeah well …

Bunkers are not objectionable, maybe not the best investment, but hey technically it still some kind of living space that people can use for something. Young people can play loud music in a bunker without disturbing anybody for example. They can be converted into dormitories or shelters for homeless people. Scientists that want to do sensitive experiments that need shielded rooms tend to like bunkers as well.

So while this is probably irrational, it's not that bad.

I wish we'd be adopting more advance filtration tech as a normal part of building design.

Luigi Mangione's attorney about prosecutors seeking the Death Penalty:
“By seeking to murder Luigi Mangione, the Justice Department has moved from the dysfunctional to the barbaric. Their decision to execute Luigi is political and goes against the recommendation of the local federal prosecutors, the law, and historical precedent. While claiming to protect against murder, the federal government moves to commit the pre-meditated, state-sponsored murder of Luigi. By doing this, they are defending the broken, immoral, and murderous healthcare industry that continues to terrorize the American people. We are prepared to fight these federal charges, brought by a lawless Justice Department, as well as the New York State charges, and the Pennsylvania charges, and anything else they want to pile on Luigi. This is a corrupt web of government dysfunction and one-upmanship. Luigi is caught in a high-stakes game of tug-of-war between state and federal prosecutors, except the trophy is a young man’s life.”

They appear to be trying to make an example out of him, but if they murder him they make him into a heroic martyr.

Nope this one's just stupid, this guy proved that members of the ruling class could just be gunned down in the street. The rational response is to memory-hole this entire episode as quickly as possible. Try to co-opt Luigi's rebel brand and turn it into a commercial product. Capitalism used to be intelligent that way. If they take revenge, they increase the sociological meaning of his act, and the hoopla just serves to remind people that high-powered CEOs are just human beings as fragile as everybody else.

>Even if he's a martyr,

Creating martyrs is really dumb, the acts of martyrs become virtuous, and that significantly increases the likely-hood of copycats and inspire other smaller acts of defiance.

>there are still uses for brutal crackdowns and this kind of despotism and bourgeois class war.

Rule by fear is temporary. Once people figure out that they can trigger a crack-down as means to lure the brutish goons into a trap…
French resistance fighters during the late periods of WW2 had began luring fascist Jew-hunters into fire traps, the tactic was beyond ruthless, so many fascists went looking for hidden Jews and only found fragmentation grenades going off in their faces. I don't know if there was a counter because the fascists got crushed by the allied forces before they had the chance to formulate one.

Enduring despotism seems to only persist in the imperial periphery, where the power to maintain it is external. like when empires prop up despotic vassal regimes.

It does not appear like a calibrated action to entrench power, born from calculation. This appears to be reactive.

>China lays down the law in facial recognition first with focus on privacy, security
I wish that biometrics would go away entirely, but privacy regs are a good start.

Eventually face-id will get relentlessly exploited, because it's like people having their password tattooed on their forehead. And then we can go to cryptographic keys stored on tokens, which will work like regular keys except that it's more convenient, because you can have lots of keys on one token instead of a cluttered key-ring, also lock picking will get a lot more complicated.

Admittedly I didn't read it yet, i might later, I'm hesitant because the guardian might contain too much ruling ideology which could cause me mental irritation.

Anyway Melenchon (which is lefty or at least socdem) said he opposed it because the people should decide about political leadership, not the courts.

Alexander Mercuris' take is that this will boost Le Pen's political popularity. He also thinks that if Le Pen is embezzling funds then the ruling parties are most likely doing it too, and that this would damage the law, because it would loose political impartiality.

I'm wondering if this isn't the point, maybe the goal is to boost Le Pen and to damage trust in legal institutions. With an eye on the genocide in Gaza the current political leadership in France might have an incentive to damage the legal system.
