Sad to see so many brothers and sisters result to shutting out the world, Huey said it best:
"...we cannot avoid contact with each other we will have to develop a value system that will help us function together in harmony."

NEW: Politico knew at the time of publication precisely what Jenny Racicot texted to Graham Platner but deliberately omitted it from their article. Racicot, according to the lead Politico reporter on the story, told Platner she “needed her glute massaged.” He told her he was coming right over; she responded by telling him not to do so, but he came over quickly.
Whether this detail is important to you or not, it is a shocking breach of journalistic ethics by Politico and CNN not to include it in their coverage. Story at Drop Site to follow.
I’ll never forget Jacobin publishing a slanderous article about a Black labor organizer who was beaten by the IDF. All while running puff pieces about the white rapist Blackwater merc who had a death’s head tattooed on his body.
Its important to reiterate that graham platner should have never gotten to this point to begin with. If we held a principled stance acknowledging that he never did any meaningful self reflection about his role in the expansion of the american empire, we could've replace him day 1
The entire modern world is built on anti-Blackness. It is the foundation of capitalism and colonialism.
Skin color, hair texture, recent ancestry… It is truly that superficial and yet that deep at the same time.
With each large-scale, internationally broadcasted event (world cup, olympics, etc.), attempts to quell the western concept of “free speech” (never existed) will become more apparent and even more suffocating
Chris Smalls isn’t the only person to ever be high handed when running a union or organization. White folks have done far worse and Zohran’s NYPD beat the shit out of protestors. AOC was Biden’s running dog. Where’s the criticism of them from the people that rush to jump on Smalls? Has AOC gone to Israeli prison? Y’all riding Platner’s dick and that mf was a literal mercenary. Y’all quick to jump on Black folks and demand we be perfect organizers or perfect victims, and let everybody else slide.
regardless of critiques over how he ran ALU the fact that white activists keep coming after him is mainly because Smalls is a hood dude and isn’t afraid to say shit like this. I’ve seen this type of dynamic applied against Black activists before — y’all love us as long as you think we are under control, when we start to break loose and be bad niggas in your eyes then it’s a problem
why are yall talking like this to a Black dude that was arrested and spent time in Israeli prison? Is AOC not a celebrity activist as well? Have you mentioned Zohran’s NYPD beating protesters? Y’all got plenty of smoke for Black people but everybody else gets a pass, that’s anti-Black and trifling. Regardless of what happened with ALU, I’ve been seeing y’all disrespect and talk out of pocket to this man like crazy.
I see the disrespect but just know none of y’all would ever play in face like that lol glad to be free love and solidarity thank you to all who’s always support my work more to come! ✊🏽
Mamdani spokesperson Sam Raskin tells
@DropSiteNews
"Mayor Mamdani is deeply opposed to the real estate expo this evening that includes the promotion of the sale of land in settlements in the Occupied West Bank. These settlements are illegal under international law and deeply tied to the ongoing displacement of Palestinians. Our administration has also been clear that we are committed to ensuring safe entry and exit from any house of worship, and that such access never be in question while all protesters are able to exercise their First Amendment rights."
This after he “convinced” dsa to not endorse chi osse run to unseat hakeem jeffries (a vile demon), and now feigns concern.
Appreciate the community work big dawg, but black people are getting their properties stolen, via deed theft, in your city... you seen that too?
I have seen the concerning footage of Council Member Chi Ossé’s arrest earlier today and am in touch with Commissioner Tisch about the nature of the arrest.
It is a pleasure to work alongside Council Member Ossé, a leader in his community and a partner in building a safer and more affordable New York City. I am grateful he is out of custody.
Council Member Chi Ossé was just arrested while defending his constituent, Carmella Charrington, from eviction. This is the result of deed theft and the ongoing displacement of Black homeowners in Bed-Stuy. Our office is closely monitoring this situation and will provide updates as this develops.
if shit doesnt change (and it likely wont) they are going to start mass killing or exiling trans people
beyond that, this type of surveillance should disturb everybody
world just gets bleaker every single day
it’s even worse than it sounds. this went on for two years, and ultimately they banned her from MSG for the crime of being trans in public (and potentially on broadcast television).
These are evil cretins who exist amongst some of our greatest enemies…
Protests still happen every fucking day despite students getting BLACKBAGGED AND KIDNAPPED IM BROAD DAYLIGHT, stripped of any university ties, and denied legal representation at every turn.
Campus protests have dissipated significantly from Biden to Trump term. @Lauren_V_Egan talks to activists to try to understand why. (I think part of it is a freduian relationship with their parents doing No Kings but that's for another day)

You aren't participating in capitalism, you're being exploited by it, like the rest of us. Capitalism requires a permanent underclass to function, who do you think that underclass is
