NYCC is one of the premier organizing groups of low-income people of color in this country. Period. Their role IS to push those in power, even make them feel uncomfortable, to create change for their members. 🧵 1/2

A spokesperson for the Freedom Flotilla Coalition tells me:
“Chris Smalls is still in Givon Prison and despite repeated requests to meet with the U.S. Embassy has been ignored by his country after being abducted by the IOF in international waters.”

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

This new White House executive order says that the US Attorney General is going to prevent states from implementing democratically passed laws regarding climate change and clean energy. It scarcely needs stating at this point that this is wildly, unambiguously unconstitutional. Dictator shit.

We're seeing A TON of enthusiasm for the #teslatakedown GLOBAL DAY OF ACTION. We're going to start highlighting showrooms that need a host. If you know someone near any of these locations, will you reach out and encourage them to host an action? We'll even have trainings next week for new hosts! 🧵
