Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez On The Future Of The Democratic Party
US-Kongresswahlen 2018: Die nicht vorgesehene Kandidatin
Wie viele Leute in ihrem Alter ist Ocasio-Cortez selbst noch dabei, die Kredite abzustottern, die sie für ihr Studium aufnehmen musste. Damit sich das ändere, forderte sie auf zweisprachigen Postern einen Mindestlohn von 15 Dollar, eine Einheitskrankenkasse und staatlich garantierte Jobs für Menschen, die keine reguläre Arbeit finden. Die umstrittene Abschiebebehörde ICE will sie abschaffen.
Sozialistin besiegt Top-Demokrat
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Mitglied der Democratic Socialists of America, hat bei den gestrigen Vorwahlen der Demokraten zum Kongress im 14. Distrikt von New York City (Bronx&Queens) den langjährigen Abgeordneten Joe Crowley geschlagen. Ursprünglich sollte er Nancy Pelosi ablösen und neuer Sprecher der Demokraten im Kongress werden. Er steht für das absolute Establishment der Demokratischen Partei. Ein Schwergewicht.
Ungebrochene Solidarität mit Halberg Guss Leipzig
Am meisten stört den 59-Jährigen, dass der Eigentümer versucht, die Streikenden zu denunzieren und einen Keil zwischen die Belegschaft zu treiben. Bernd Kruppa in der IG-Metall in Leipzig bestätigt diese Vorgehensweise. Demnach soll der Eigentümer Angestellten, die den Streikenden rechtswidriges Vorgehen nachweisen können, bis zu 5.000 Euro angeboten haben.
Verteidigt alle Arbeitsplätze bei Halberg-Guss
Dabei erleben die Arbeiter von vielen Seiten Solidarität. Fast jedes Auto, das am Leipziger Werk vorbeifährt fährt, hupt zur Unterstützung der Streikenden. Immer wieder kommen Arbeiter aus anderen Leipziger Betrieben, manchmal auch Schulklassen ans Werkstor, um den Streik anzufeuern. Sie sind besonders fassungslos, weil hier ein eigentlich hochmodernes und ausgelastetes Werk zerstört werden soll, um die Profite der Kapitalisten zu erhöhen.
EU übernimmt Flüchtlingspolitik der extremen Rechten
Die Maßnahmen gegen Flüchtlinge entlarven die EU als reaktionäres Monstrum, das die nationalen Regierungen trotz ihrer wachsenden Spannungen untereinander dafür nutzen, die gesamte europäische Politik weiter nach rechts zu verschieben. In weiteren Abschnitten der „Schlussfolgerungen“ geht es um die „Stärkung der europäischen Verteidigungsfähigkeit“, die Zensur des Internets, den Ausbau des europäischen Polizeistaats und die Fortsetzung der Austeritätspolitik.

Could progressive newcomer Sarah Smith upset 11-term incumbent in Washington primary?
Her opponent is on the House Armed Services Committee. Congressman Adam Smith has a long history in the 9th Congressional District. So who is Sarah Smith?
„I work full time,“ Sarah Smith said. „I manage a mechanic garage. I have student debt. I have a husband. I can‘t afford to have a kid. I‘m every person in this district.“
Who‘s next? Progressive primary insurgents to watch
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez‘s primary defeat of New York Rep. Joe Crowley on Tuesday hit like a shot of pure political adrenaline for progressives hungry to remake the Democratic Party.
The question now, as the last round of nominating contests comes into focus, is simple — and for parts of the party establishment, terrifying: Who‘s next?
I was so happy to have my parents by my side today as I officially filed as a candidate for US Senate. Thank you to everyone–the volunteers, donors, social media followers, and so many more–who made this day possible by having the courage to #DareToAct. LET‘S WIN THIS! #netDE

Justice Department argues that order to reunite immigrant families allows for their detentions
The Trump administration says a ruling this week by a federal judge in San Diego requiring the government to reunify families separated at the border means authorities can legally keep families detained until their cases are complete.
The interpretation means immigrant families could spend months or even years in detention — even those seeking asylum — because of a years-long backlog in immigration court.
U.S. Government Says It Has Right To Detain Families For Months
The U.S. government said in a court filing on Friday that it has the right to detain children and parents caught crossing the U.S. border illegally for the duration of their immigration proceedings.

Assange Is a Journalist, Should Not Be Persecuted for Publishing the Truth
Julian Assange has opened journalism’s democracy door; the power to report is being redistributed, government employees and corporate whistleblowers have been empowered and greater transparency is becoming a reality. The people of the United States should demand that Assange not face prosecution and embrace a 21st Century democratized media that provides greater transparency and accurate information about what government and business interests are doing. Prosecuting a news organization for publishing the truth, should be rejected and Assange should be freed.
