Michael flew to LA on his own dime for our first live show on Super Tuesday. It was a rough night for the movement. We all had to keep it together on stage. And Michael delivered. He was profound. He was loyal. He was there for the movement. @_michaelbrooks
Michael’s work was so passionate and *informed* about Brazil that the Brazilian left, with Lula, is mourning his death:
“Difficult news of the death of Michael Brooks, one of the biggest names in progressive journalism in the US. RIP” - by a leftist outlet he visited 🇧🇷 🇧🇷 🇧🇷
Michael Brooks was one of the kindest most genuine people we ever had the honor of calling a comrade. He was selfless and generous in ways most people only aspire to be. There would be no Serfs if it wasn't for his help and tutelage.Words can't express the loss. Rest in power✊✊🏿
The loss of journalist Michael Brooks is a profound disappointment. Michael’s questions were always insightful, his outlook global, and the concerns that he raised in his journalism remain timeless.
We honor his memory by redoubling our efforts to defend the future.
Michael Brooks was a truly wonderful person. His principles. His commitment. His humor. His outfits. His belief in unity & a better world. Thousands grew to love him & were inspired by him through his show—and thousands more will from the impressive body of work he leaves behind.
Michael Brooks was maybe the first YouTube channel where I saw an emphasis on international solidarity with working class struggles and actually the first time I heard of Patrice Lumumba. I came for windmills on Dave Rubin. And he dropped a birthday fave for my son.
