  12. Network State Affiliates

    The strongest state freedom caucus is in #Wyoming,
    where the group controls the state house.

    During this year’s legislative session, caucus members proposed a controversial $40-million budget cut to the University of Wyoming,
    which sparked funding fights among legislators.

    A conference committee that included members of the state Senate,
    which is not controlled by the Wyoming Freedom Caucus,
    ultimately restored the funding.

    But the proposed funding cut would have required the university to use some of its state funds to
    review its “organizational structure and staffing patterns, identify positions and degree programs that could be eliminated, and recommend opportunities to further restrict any diversity, equity, and inclusion programming.”

    Under pressure from the state’s House Freedom Caucus,
    the university had already eliminated its Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in 2024.

    In #Idaho, the freedom caucus is pushing a package of anti-immigrant legislation
    starting with House Bill 659,
    which would give local law enforcement the authority to arrest and remove immigrants through a
    “memorandum of agreement” with federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.

    House Bill 660 would require local law enforcement to check the immigration status of all arrested individuals,

    and House Bill 592 would similarly require hospitals to ask about the immigration status of those seeking medical care.

    The bill would not require hospitals to report undocumented patients to ICE.
    Still, it would require releasing information about the person to the legislature and the governor to determine the cost of uncompensated care for undocumented residents.

    All three bills will be subject to hearings and committee votes before moving on to consideration by the full House and Senate.

    In #Oklahoma, the freedom caucus has introduced a similar package of
    anti-immigration bills.

    One of them, Senate Bill 1554, would prohibit “nongovernmental organizations”
    — which presumably includes churches, schools, and hospitals
    — from “knowingly or recklessly” providing aid of any sort
    to “asylum seekers and “illegal immigrants.”

    “Any organization that breaks the law would be permanently barred from receiving any state or local funding,
    and any employee who knowingly participates in or directs a violation of the law would be guilty of a felony,”
    according to The Frontier.

    “Illegal immigration is draining our state’s resources and undermining the opportunities for hardworking Oklahomans,”
    said Senator Shane Jett,
    chairman of the Freedom Caucus,
    in announcing the legislative package.

    “These bills provide immediate solutions to real problems,
    from accelerating deportations to stopping the flow of taxpayer dollars to those who are here unlawfully.
    We’re putting Oklahoma first.”

    In #South #Dakota, the GOP leadership in the House temporarily suspended Freedom Caucus Chair Phil Jensen from its caucus last month
    after he spoke out of order and accused Democrats of automatically opposing a resolution urging South Dakotans to
    “seek the Lord Most High for His healing presence and mercy.”

    The nonbinding resolution also encouraged people to partake in prayer and Christian fasting during July.

    It passed in the GOP-controlled House and Senate despite opposition from all five Democrats and 18 Republicans concerned about First Amendment rights.

    The Freedom Caucus objected to Jensen’s suspension,
    saying that it “appeared to be an effort to silence people from speaking out on their beliefs.”

    The #Louisiana legislature is just convening,
    but last June, the Freedom Caucus posted an alert on X telling drivers that
    🔥they could use their cars in “self-defense” if they felt threatened by street protestors and not face civil or criminal penalties.

    As Big Easy magazine opined,
    “By framing demonstrations as threats and leaning into the idea that drivers can act on fear,
    the [Freedom Caucus] is fueling a narrative where protest is treated as provocation
    —and fear as justification for violence

  13. In the history of the #revolts against #slavery, enslaved #women must not be reduced to the role of passive victims of colonial violence. This is particularly evident in the case of Carlota #Lucumí, who heroically defended herself against her oppressors with a machete in her hand and is still considered a revolutionary #symbol of Cuba today.
    Long before the Cuban Revolution, the so-called #Triunvirato #Revolution shaped the history of the island, during which numerous #slaves rose up against their owners. It was a large movement that took hold of several plantations. For once, the rebellion was led by a woman who is now revered as a hero and #resistance fighter in #Cuba: #Carlota.

    ‘Operation Carlota, Cuba's internationalist #solidarity mission with the peoples of Angola and #South Africa, was to last more than 15 years. During this time, more than 330,000 Cubans served in #Angola to defend the independence and #freedom and the right of Angola, the #self-determination of the peoples of southern #Africa.’
