Capitalism is and always has needed radicalization to function— producing cultures of hate, dehumanization, and ultimately, mass delusion (see White Supremacy/American Exceptionalism/ (White) Christian Nationalism/ Zionism etc)

I’m reposting these clips from 2017 in the hope they find themselves to some of the people targeted by this racially-manipulative, billionaire-directed & funded attack.

The so-called “Alligator Alcatraz” is indeed a concentration camp. We should be calling it exactly what it is.
The facilities are inadequate. It’s built for a politically persecuted set of groups (immigrants/migrants of color) and “alligator” refers to homicidal intent.

I wrote this last year about the military in our streets for domestic issues; this is not only a Trump issue.
Like always, the Dems too made this more likely to happen.

Today on @DemocracyNow they’re reporting that the United Nations is warning that 14,000 babies could die in the next 48 hours in Gaza!
This has been unacceptable for nearly 2 years but this is the most evil thing I’ve ever heard of.
EVERYONE must demand that Israel stops committing this genocide!

It was high-honor of my life to co-emcee a massive NYC #MayDay2025 rally & march that kicked off in Foley Square.

Yesterday, I joined @justicecommittee.bsky.social and the family of #AllanFeliz, a man killed by NYPD officer Jonathan Rivera in 2019, outside the NYPD headquarters.
They want the NYPD Commissioner Tisch to #FireJonathanRivera.
