Since death alone is certain,
and the time of death uncertain,
what should I do?

🚨This is one of the most disturbing ICE brutality videos I’ve seen in a long time…

Another angle of this incident shows ICE agents suddenly rushing protesters outside the Newark ICE Facility, then continuously shoving U.S. citizens toward the wheels of a MOVING TRUCK…

until an activist’s LEG is run over.

And the most disturbing part?

The protesters are not charging the agents… The agents are the ones creating the escalation.

And not only that, they are forcing civilians backward toward a MOVING VEHICLE, escalating a situation that was not violent until THEY made it violent.

That is reckless, dangerous force.

So, let’s go over the obvious constitutional violations happening in this video…

1. First Amendment violations, because Americans have the constitutional right to peacefully protest the government.

2. Fourth Amendment violations, because federal agents cannot use excessive or objectively unreasonable force against nonviolent civilians.

3. Fifth Amendment due process concerns, because the government cannot arbitrarily target, intimidate, or assault citizens exercising protected rights.

4. Federal officers can also face liability under 18 U.S. Code § 242 for depriving people of constitutional rights “under color of law.”

When armed federal agents create chaos themselves, then use that chaos to justify violence against civilians, that is an abuse of power.

Call your representatives.
Demand accountability.

Another failed, flashy project of the billionaire class quite literally exploding in the face of working class Americans who could otherwise majorly benefit from these funds being invested in public infrastructure and programming instead.

The CIA did everything in its power to destroy what is known as

Pan-Africanism

Using CIA front organizations such as

The American Society of African Culture

Actions that ultimately generated a deep mistrust & contempt between Black Americans and Africans, during the peak of the Black Power Movement

Today's college graduates face huge obstacles under this system. From the trillions of dollars of student debt plaguing nearly 43 million loan borrowers, to the growing rates of unemployment and loss of job prospects, capitalism is failing young people.

Only a socialist program provides the necessary answers to the crises facing young workers today.

Deliberate reduction of human beings into nothingness.

For years, this is what we have fought to make visible: EU-funded concentration camps in Libya where enslaved “migrants” and “refugees” are detained en masse, shoulder against shoulder, body against body, with barely enough room to turn or sit upright. Exhaustion, dehydration, disorientation, heat, suffocation, darkness, sheer collapse—you name it.

One does not need visible blood for violence to be present. Sometimes violence is architectural, administrative, and above all a decision to place hundreds of enslaved people in a room never meant to contain them and then call it “migration management.”

My outrage comes from the fact that such scenes have become normalised both in Libya, Europe and around the globe. The world has slowly learned to consume the dehumanisation of “migrants” as recurring theme instead of evidence of ongoing crimes against human beings that concerns all of humanity.

And while this reality is already unbearable, this morning a document leaked to @StatewatchEU confirmed that the EU has begun collaborating with Haftar’s forces in eastern Libya on “migration control.”

The result will be worse than what is happening in this footage.

This is a condition that no court, parliament, humanitarian institution, or democratic society should tolerate for a single hour, let alone for years that has passed.

Elections are a crucial opportunity to spread the message about the need for a whole new kind of society.

PSL’s 2024 presidential candidate Claudia De la Cruz explains how independent, socialist electoral campaigns are a way to speak to as wide an audience as possible about the fact that the problems in people’s lives can be solved, but only if we end the dictatorship of the billionaire class.

The ultra-rich have two parties of their own that fundamentally agree on who should be in power in society. We can’t let them have the electoral arena all to themselves — we need to be present and take a stand!
