They want to keep us poor, so they can continue to price us out of homes for personal gain. So they can continue to exert state sanctioned violence at the hands of police, it's a war on the working class & we out here arguin "Biden this, Trump that." They've almost won.
I met an unhoused woman who has two years of disability payments sitting in a bank account she cannot access because she does not have an ID. After months we finally got her birth certificate and then she woke up to a sweep where all of her paperwork was thrown away.
@OGBlackRedGuard Just donated plasma to help cover some of my moving costs, about to do some unspeakable things with some whataburger (eat it in my car)
I'm not saying what this guy did was right - I'm just statistically pointing out that the company leasing this warehouse, Kimberly-Clark, has a CEO named Michael D. Hsu that made $16.4 million dollars last year.
That is $7,884.62 an hour.
Food for thought.
Lenin on people who want AOC to run for president. Socialists must be familiar with the basics of our theory instead of running off vibes and feelings. Why are you so desperate to see a “socialist” at the helm of American imperialism, managing the affairs of the bourgeoisie? Because it makes you feel good? Heroin, crack and meth make people feel good too. Eventually they will kill you. No serious analysis, no knowledge of the basic ABCs of class struggle. This produces a movement of idle wishers and dreamers, Revisionism, tailism, and opportunism lead to serious mistakes every time, and are manifestations of the bourgeoisie within the socialist movement. When such a line is the commanding one, easily predictable problems arise.
“The petty-bourgeois democrats, those sham socialists who replaced the class struggle by dreams of class harmony, even pictured the socialist transformation in a dreamy fashion — not as the overthrow of the rule of the exploiting class, but as the peaceful submission of the minority to the majority which has become aware of its aims. This petty-bourgeois utopia, which is inseparable from the idea of the state being above classes, led in practice to the betrayal of the interests of the working classes, as was shown, for example, by the history of the French revolutions of 1848 and 1871, and by the experience of “socialist” participation in bourgeois Cabinets in Britain, France, Italy and other countries at the turn of the century.” - The State and Revolution

@dandolieon@mattforney I have no horses in a race in Texas. I'm a proudly born & raised Jayhawker (in bushwacker territory currently) but I'll be damned to hear someone say that a black woman merely existing within the dem party in texas is somehow detrimental to the future. Read the room big dog
Jeffrey Epstein did not choose New Mexico by accident.
His largest property, Zorro Ranch, sits about 23 miles south of Santa Fe and unlike the island, it was inland, remote, and largely ignored—despite being the site where Epstein exercised the most control over land, infrastructure, and access.
Zorro Ranch is located roughly 111 miles from the Trinity Site, where the first nuclear weapon was detonated in 1945 as part of the Manhattan Project. That matters because New Mexico has spent nearly a century functioning as a jurisdiction built around classified activity, federal land leases, and overlapping authority.
When Epstein arrived in the early 1990s, that environment already existed.
On February 22, 1993, the New Mexico State Land Office granted an agricultural lease near Stanley to the Zorro Trust, a shell entity tied to Epstein. That same day, the trust purchased land from members of the King family, a powerful New Mexico political and agricultural dynasty. The deal included 1,159 acres of public land leases, rented for under $900 per year.
This gave Epstein de facto control over a large buffer of state land surrounding his private compound.
In 1994, Epstein applied to build a private grass-strip runway on state land. When the state requested inspections, the permit application was quietly withdrawn. Epstein then built a runway on land he owned outright — avoiding oversight altogether. The pattern is clear: proceed when scrutiny is low, retreat when it isn’t.
Epstein was also granted variances to build unusual structures on his land, including a raised railroad track intended to display an antique caboose near ancient petroglyph sites catalogued centuries before European settlement.
Despite all of this:
- Epstein was a convicted sex offender
- New Mexico never required him to register
- His largest residence was never fully searched
- State officials later admitted their authority stopped at leased land, not the mansion
Local residents noticed activity authorities did not pursue. Ranchers reported caravans of young women, heavy security, and a mansion whose lights “drowned out the stars.” Some locals assumed Epstein owned Victoria’s Secret due to the volume of models arriving at the property.
Zorro Ranch was not Epstein’s only New Mexico foothold. He also poured over $250,000 into the Santa Fe Institute, a high-level research center focused on theoretical physics and complexity science. He cultivated relationships with elite scientists and donors while presenting himself as an intellectual patron rather than a criminal.
Epstein’s operation relied on silence, jurisdictional gaps, and institutions conditioned not to ask questions. New Mexico provided all three.
And the fact that it remains one of the least examined parts of the Epstein case is not incidental—it is consistent with how Epstein structured his life, his assets, and his protection.
If you want to understand how Epstein operated for decades, stop looking only at where the cameras are facing.
Keith Porter’s murder wasn’t captured on camera, so it’s allowing ICE to sweep it under the rug, but we need to keep talking about him just as much as we talk about Renee Good and Alex Pretti. None of us are safe from this campaign of state violence.
Tortuguita was shot 57 times with military-grade assault rifles while sitting cross legged, hands raised. They were the first environmental activist killed by US police in modern history. We won’t stop fighting for them & every other land defender protecting our beautiful planet
