In my latest essay for Slate, I wrote about my theory of the "viral underclass," the shared vulnerability of our solidarity, and how the Black Lives Matter-led uprisings offer a vaccine for what plagues us https://t.co/tueK0EvIdA
In Occupied Palestine, Walid Ayyoub draws an image of #GeorgeFloyd. From Palestine to Minneapolis, bring the walls down, throw the occupiers off the land, melt their guns into ploughshares.
After 2 decades of studying the Shock Doctrine, the most important lesson I have learned is this: when they declare a state of emergency, when they say we don't have the right to protest, that is the moment to flood the streets. It's the only thing that has ever worked.
