A protest took place on a NYC subway platform in response to the vigilante murder of 30-year-old Jordan Neely who was choked to death by an ex-marine.

@fkamorena Heard this book is top notch as a replacement - waiting for it to become available on my Libby account as it’s so popular.

“Racism and sexism are necessary conditions for the existence of the capitalist class. The capitalist class always needs a population without rights, in the colonies, in the kitchen, in the plantation, which is determinant for the process of value accumulation.”

I really think a lot of Americans severely underestimate the coming blowback from all this. The war in Ukraine and how it's covered by the media has done more to galvanize/empower American Nazism than anything else that's happened in the last few decades.
