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’ve been a member of @demsocialists.bsky.social for nearly 10 years.

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.

We will not be gaslit.
Trump and his admin are the greatest terror threat we face!

Happening Now: pro-Palestine, anti-genocide, anti-war demonstrators gather in Manhattan to call for an immediate arms embargo on Israel, and and immediate lift of the siege on Gaza and the resumption of UN-controlled humanitarian assistance. #FreePalestine #UNAssembly

Israel must immediately stop its genocide that has evolved towards extermination of Palestinians in Gaza.

LIFT THE BLOCKADE IMMEDIATELY

Palestinians are being starved to death.

I S R A E L ‘ S right-wing, fascist government (not too diff from ours) is engaged in a protracted campaign of not simply genocide, but extermination.

Bisan calls on us to make our demands louder than the lies!

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!

2020 was a time. 5 years later, it is clear, we are in for a tumultuous summer.

Here’s me outside Tweed Courthouse in Manhattan at the launch of NYC’s 2020 #OccupyCityHall (that later became #AbolitionPark)

I held a kickback/fundraiser for my friend @butterflyhigh9.bsky.social who is running for NYC council district 41 (where I live) in Ocean-Hill Brooklyn.

I’m asking folk to pitch in $25 to her campaign lo.

Here’s a clip from my MayDay remarks against the violence of the Trump admin and the capitalist, billionaire class that is so committed to violence that they don’t only threaten democracy, but all organized human life. #MayDay #FightFascism #BuildBlackFutures #TrySocialism

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.

See a recent @gothamist.com piece for more info.

Formerly homeless community leader and member-leaders of @vocal-ny.bsky.social’s #HomelessUnionNY Elizabeth Mackey spoke powerfully about municipal negligence that is driving so much of the homelessness crisis in NYC. #EndHomelessness

Noam, a person who has experiences of homelessness in NYC is a member-leader of @vocal-ny.bsky.social’s #HomelessUnionNY and spoke today outside NYC City Hall to call for an end to homeless encampment sweets and housing first. #EndHomelessness

Imagine you journey thousands of miles, seeking refuge, and for the sake of your family, you buy, clean, chop, and package fresh fruit to sell in public, only to be further harmed economically and socially by a repressive city government and its violent police force.

Migration to NYC.
