From Wits to Jamia to Columbia, we know that the university is a key site of reaffirming state power and squashing dissent, but the scale of militarised, brute force being deployed in the US is of another order: of the heart and darkness of empire.

It’s May Day. May imperialism fall. May Palestine be free. May Haiti be sovereign. May the Congo be self-determining. May Sudan flourish.

Workers if the world turn up—it’s ours to win!

Today, RISE Mzansi’s National Leader, Songezo Zibi was back in Alexandra to continue the campaign trail.

Zibi was joined by volunteers, and organisers, and the National Spokesperson Gugu Ndima (@mandima_writer).

They handed out flyers and interacted with the community about…

We demand a fair chance of employment for all South African citizens.

Skills, qualifications, and experience should be the primary factors in finding a job, not age or gender.

Everyone deserves equal opportunities 🇿🇦

UAE literally owns vast lands across South Sudan, mostly as hunting preserves, and now they will own everything under the land.

Capitalism is built on the meritocratic idea that everyone gets what they deserve in the marketplace. This May Day, let’s reject that idea — wealth creation is a fundamentally social process, and the rich have no right to hoard all the resources and power.

On this Worker's Day, we are on the ground with RISE Mzansi volunteers. We are engaging directly with voters and mobilizing for the historic 29th May election. We are the one's we've been waiting for!! #2024isour1994 #VoteRISEMzansi

Things occupying my mind today (inspired by the French protests):

1. A living wage as a “minimum”
2. A 4 day work week
3. The retirement age dropped to 50
