https://beta.theglobeandmail.com/news/canada-chechnya-gay-asylum/article36145997/?ref=http://www.theglobeandmail.com&;
 

Hamzat, a man in his mid-twenties, is a recent arrival to Canada. (Hamzat is 
not his real name. The Globe and Mail is protecting his identity because he 
fears repercussions for friends and family in Chechnya, and because he is 
concerned that some Chechen-Canadians might wish him ill.) In an interview with 
The Globe, he was cautious but calm, offering a brief smile from time to time. 
He described how his ordeals began: One day in March, men wearing green khaki 
uniforms appeared in his place of work in Grozny, the capital of Chechnya. He 
was handcuffed, placed in the trunk of a car, and taken to a local police 
headquarters. "I don't know how to express this. I was in shock," he said, 
speaking through an interpreter.

I am watching newcoldwar.com and other sites to see if anyone denies the 
accuracy of this story.

While the vice article has some useful information, be aware it's a

department.

[Marxism] [UCE] How Trump is targeting labor

(As is the case in other areas such as the environment and immigration, 
Trump is having a massive and malevolent impact through executive orders 
rather than legislation. Below are articles about how overtime pay 
protection for low-wage workers and regulations that ensure that truck 
drivers get sufficient sleep are being rolled back. This all goes back 
to chapter 10 of V. 1 of Marx's Capital. "The capitalistic mode of 
production (essentially the production of surplus-value, the absorption 
of surplus-labour), produces thus, with the extension of the 
working-day, not only the deterioration of human labour-power by robbing 
it of its normal, moral and physical, conditions of development and 
function. It produces also the premature exhaustion and death of this 
labour-power itself. It extends the labourer’s time of production during 
a given period by shortening his actual life-time.")
