For $155m we could have paid for 56 MILLION people to ride the subway under fair fares.
Instead we paid $155m in overtime for cops who do not live in NYC nor pay taxes, to arrest 1,900 people for fare evasion.
Since there’s a massive action today to #BlockCopCity—please read this masterful, panoramic, supremely affecting essay about what’s happening in ATL. It captures the scale of the phenomenon and the stakes of that place. An actual masterpiece @nplusonemag https://t.co/HB7Gersj00
do not forget that right now, in the US, under president Biden, resistance against a fascist police state is being treated as terrorism. it isn't a mere future hypothetical, but a current reality that also animates the characterization of Palestinian resistance as "terrorism".
It's not lost on me that the pro-genocide camp can walk back their more extreme statements by claiming it was "the heat of the moment" but anyone in support of Palestine has to choose their words carefully to avoid losing their livelihood or life.
We've made @antloewenstein's Palestine Laboratory available as a free ebook.
This book shows how Israel uses the occupied Palestinian territories as a testing ground for weaponry and surveillance technology that they export around the world

“If Rodney’s assassins were under the impression that they could arrest the flow of his ideas by destroying his body, they could not have been more wrong.” — Angela Davis
