When you have an incident occur in an American city that is similar to one which received international media coverage for an entire year prior but it isn’t treated as breaking news, that’s a deliberate choice by corporate news outlets to suppress the news coverage.
“Back the Blue” Senators voted to acquit the former president after they helped incite a white supremacist insurrection that left police officers dead.
It was never about “Blue Lives” mattering. It was just about making sure Black lives don’t.
“Can we change Republican minds?” is not the relevant question.
The relevant question is, “how do we prevent Republicans from completely overthrowing free & fair elections & installing a fascist government as is clearly their intent?”
thread: late last night, our team found another 17-year-old child trapped in the adult jail in houston because he can't pay $1,000 cash. he's been there for almost two months, forgotten. he was arrested after missing court because he was given the wrong date on his paperwork.
Fascists accusing a moderate-conservative party of being “the radical left” is part of a tactic to move the entire body politic further toward the far right.
Obama is a villain. He is here to steal, kill and destroy people powered movements. He’s only come out the past 4yrs to stop progress. From BLM, to NBA strikes, to the 2020 primaries, and now defunding the police, etc. with all the disrespect, fuck Obama and the clique he claims!
After we release Breonna Taylor grand jury proceedings, let’s end corrupt practice of grand juries for police altogether. It is nothing more a tool for DAs to protect killer cops.
Democrats are not inept. They aren’t weak or ineffective. They just don’t work for you. It’s time to wake up to this harsh reality. They’re hella effective at crushing progressive momentum, assisting republicans in passing laws that benefit their donors, and telling us to wait.
Voting alone is never going to stop white supremacy. We need direct action, strikes, mutual aid, unions... concrete action to shut this shit down and start over. Politicians and bosses aren't your friends.
I cannot stress this enough, STOP donating to politicians. This is a critical moment for mass movements. Donate to organizers in your area. If you don’t know someone, be that someone. These democrats have actual billionaires donating to them, our people on the ground need help.
The white supremacist institution of policing that stole Breonna Taylor’s life from us must be abolished for the safety and well being of our people.
