Hi everyone

I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA over the last 48 hours because of my reporting on the Columbia student protests

I arrived back in Melbourne hours ago and had my phone handed back to me upon landing

I just have a feeling that if Marxists called themselves Socialists or Communists instead, there would be fewer arguments about whether Marx said this or that and more discussions on how to apply the ideas to our world. Arguments about socialism or communism, if they are to be had, should be […]

No more hero worship! Marx wasn't God. He was a man with good ideas, and those ideas came from a scientific analysis of society and humans, which, in that case, if anything is to be worshiped, it should be the science of sociology.

LAPD has hit multiple people in the head with high impact munitions. LAPD & @mayor.lacity.gov are trying to kill protesters.
This is why the “peaceful protest” distinction does not matter - the pigs will fire at you & beat you either way. All you’re doing is playing into the state’s narrative of “good” vs “bad” protesters.

You cannot guarantee safety but it’s on ALL of us to look out for each other
LAPD is now launching tear gas into the crowd outside federal building

Tear gas at 430 pm. @mayor.lacity.gov sent LAPD to clear the streets 4 hours before curfew.

We need to get more people in the streets for optics (i.e. critical mass), but also because on-the-ground experience is a form of political education.

I'm not saying this as an "I told you so," but: there are some people in that crowd who've sat at their keyboards ranting about protesters throwing rocks and burning cars. They are learning firsthand that cops make protests violent, not protesters. Hopefully, they'll remember that in the future.

Karen Bass announcing a curfew for the city. This is literally to protect ICE & DHS so they can continue their operations in Los Angeles. @mayor.lacity.gov is a collaborator, plain and simple.
I issued a curfew starting at 8pm for Downtown Los Angeles to stop bad actors who are taking advantage of the President's chaotic escalation.

If you do not live or work in Downtown L.A., avoid the area.

Law enforcement will arrest individuals who break the curfew, and you will be prosecuted.

1st thing Marxists should do:

1. Don't mention Marx so much when talking about Marxism to non-Marxists (e.g., "Marx said...," "Marx believed...") and instead talk about the facts about society that Marx observed. Don't make a Marx cult. The important thing isn't Marx, but Marx's analysis of […]

You can see how hard Traji worked on this- she’s reading it- she shouldn’t have to do this- at the bare minimum she shouldn’t have to beg me to share it so that anyone can hear her while she does it gofund.me/8bc2934b

I need to get about $22 per day to meet this goal on time and I'm already behind. As I have been for months. No one can live like this!
NEW MONTH, NEW MUTUAL AID!

It's now been THREE straight months of my monthly survival MAs not being fulfilled. I rely on MA to survive due to severe disability preventing me from working a "real job."
