There is something magnificent about having the courage to stand with a few with and for a principle and to fight for it without fear or favor, developing all of your latent power... rising to your true stature, no matter whose respect you may forfeit as long as you keep your own
‘NO PEACE UNTIL NO POLICE’: A group of UT students @SfrAtx are protesting in favor of abolishing @Austin_Police. This comes after two officer involved shootings.
Counter protestors say the students are detached from reality. @fox7austin
it’s a tad bit concerning you support an institution that openly has murdered countless civilians and continues to operate without punishing those who abuse their power to kill innocent people, but then again we’re not surprised
Our dearest Radical Advocates Academy member, Liz Gonzalez, mother of Alex Gonzales Jr., will be speaking at a protest @ 1 PM on Sunday, March 5, hosted by Students for Revolution. Please come out & support as they protest APD's injustice.

#APD ATTEMPTED TO PREVENT OUR FREEDOM OF SPEECH! They harrassed and followed two of our members for flyering on speedway for the upcoming protest. He claimed the dean had sent him but was unable to contact the dean, and attempted to physically intimidate our members
Details for this updated! The police in Austin and throughout the United States serve the interests of property, not people, and will only become more violent as capitalist society decays. We must fight for something better, and this starts with fighting for those we have lost.
We have an upcoming protest DEMANDING that Rajan's murder, Daniel Sanchez, not be reinstated into the force, and CONDEMNING the reinstatement of Gabriel Guttierez, the murderer of Alex Gonzales. Be there March 5th to decry the fascist violence of #APD
In lieu of the APD’s claims of civilian violence, we cannot lose sight of the motivations behind these claims: to uphold the power structures which suppress us as citizens. APD is an inherently violent and coercive organization that should not be trusted.

Police oversight is at best a short term harm reduction measure. It does nothing to change the fundamental nature of the police under capitalism: protecting property relations that serve to further the exploitation of the masses. No amount of voting will change that.
@SfrAtx It’s important the voices of Austinities are heard at the ballot box come May and we get accountability, transparency and oversight. Looking forward to having you in the fight for all those things come May ✊🏽
I’m thankful for APD for their work last night and I look forward to an investigation that will hold both organizers and participants accountable for their ill-advised actions.
"You can’t operate a capitalistic system unless you are vulturistic; you have to have someone else’s blood to suck to be a capitalist. You show me a capitalist, I’ll show you a bloodsucker. He cannot be anything but a bloodsucker if he’s going to be a capitalist. '
