Today in Labor History September 1, 1987: During a nonviolent protest against the illegal U.S arming of the Nicaraguan Contras, a Navy munitions train ran over anti-war protester Brian Willson, who lost both legs in the incident. But Willson continued to be an active leader in the anti-military movement. The following day, activists dismantled the train tracks in protest. Wilson was later sued by civilian members of the train crew for the "humiliation, embarrassment & emotional distress" the incident caused them. All of this occurred at the Concord Naval Weapons Station, just east of San Francisco, formerly known as Port Chicago. It was the same site where an explosion killed 322 mostly black sailors during WWII, setting off a rebellion known as the Port Chicago Mutiny.

#Nicaragua|s #Regierung verbietet den #Jesuiten|orden und beschlagnahmt sein Vermögen. Ein Schritt, der auch an Päpste erinnert, die den Orden einst verboten.

Eine #Universität als "Zentrum des #Terrorismus": Mit dieser Begründung hatte ein Gericht in #Nicaragua eine renommierte Jesuiten-Hochschule geschlossen – ganz im Sinne von Machthaber #Ortega. https://www.katholisch.de/artikel/46586-jesuitengeneral-verurteilt-schliessung-von-universitaet-in-nicaragua

Die Regierung hat es auf die von #Jesuiten getragene Zentralamerikanische #Universität abgesehen – und sie nun geschlossen. Die Opposition fordert internationalen Protest.

Many small-scale farmers in Central America have been unable to plant their first crop due to the lack of rains. After the long dry season, the "primera" is what is used to feed the family and seed the second planting. #ElNino #ElSalvador #Nicaragua #Guanacaste #Guatemala
