❝ This should terrify every single person living in this country, regardless of your citizenship status. This is Trump creating his own army of brownshirts right here in our country. ❞ – Congressmember Becca Balint

One thing the US govt does not seem to understand is that its imports from the global South are underpriced, which means that the impact of losing them is greater, to end users, than their dollar value suggests.

TODAY: Trump Folds; ICE Disappearances; Decoding Copaganda w/ @premthakker.bsky.social • @equalityalec.bsky.social • www.youtube.com/live/1FyIbOF...

This is one of the most frivolous, dangerous, and unconstitutional legal decisions I have seen in modern history. The immigration judges’s decision will not stand, but even the attempt to procure it has done enormous damage to any project of civilized, democratic society.

THREAD. At times of such great peril, shoddy corporate journalism is dangerous. Today's New York Times has a sloppy chart that suggests/leaves open the ludicrous completely illegal theory that citizens could be deported if they are convicted of crimes.

Folks we gotta do something other than waiting two years for a midterm!!

If you are only out here protesting for your own dOmEsTiC fReEdOmS, then you are NOT my ally. If you are ok to turn a blind eye to our nations atrocities overseas just so long as you can get an abortion, or transition or celebrate pride... you are NOT my ally.

Palestinians are not the sacrificial lamb that we must place on the altar to ensure we can have our true pronouns on our driver's license. If you choose to ignore the elimination of a people so that you wont be next, YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM.

when liberals try to shame you for not voting for a genocider cuz now we have G -side AND domestic faxism...

Each of us needs to ask ourselves if we're aiming for the abolition of capitalism, imperialism, colonialism, and cishetereopatriarchy, or if we simply want a return to a more polite imperialism. Ask if your current actions are consistent with your aims.

Every time Israeli soldiers behead a Palestinian child and our ruling classes accept this fact, we lose our collective humanity and slowly but surely our society proceeds toward savagery.

Interesting comparison between China and the USA. China's incarceration rate is nearly 80% lower than in the US, and 32% lower than the world average.

When we learn about the Holocaust, what is most terrifying and disturbing about it is the dehumanization, the total domination and the exercise of arbitrary violence. We feel the terror in our bones. And we are now seeing it play out in Palestine every single day.

On April 5, I am joining thousands of people as we march on Washington and demand an end to the genocide and an arms embargo NOW. We will not be deterred by the Trump admin's attempts to quell our movement. Join us - find bus info at marchforpalestine.org. Talk to me about making a plan to be there.

Meet the seven brilliant student-scholars disappeared off the streets of the US by the Trump Administration for criticizing Israel’s atrocities in Gaza. Four are being held in brutal for-profit ICE detention centers in Louisiana. None are charged with a crime. Free them now. ⤵️

Netanyahu is openly gearing up to commit a crime of unthinkable proportions - the forced ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, with the continued backing of the US. Every sane and civilized country must oppose this.

The US government just admitted to a federal court that it deported a father by mistake. It sent him to an el Salvadoran torture chamber and separated him from his US citizen family. Several DOJ lawyers have just now argued that the courts lack power to bring him home.

Healing isn’t always linear. It can be messy, but you’re still moving. Keep going.

During apartheid, South African armed forces killed 69 civilians in the Sharpeville Massacre. The world was shocked. This event is still taught in history classes. On average, Israel has massacred more than 70 Palestinian civilians *every day* for the past 18 months.

I just received the first copy of Copaganda! It will be sold anywhere books are sold. I try to explain the role of the media, the police, and academia in how we got to this authoritarian moment.

wasnt that Sinwar?

The latest GBDS data shows that healthy life expectancy (HALE) in China is now *four years longer* than in the USA. China: 68.6 years USA: 64.4 years

The core-periphery bifurcation of the world economy is not only real, but national governments are fully conscious of its reality. The North fights to maintain this violent system, which fattens their decrepit ruling classes, while the South fights to abolish it.

The major legal doctrines being used now by the fascists--immunities, state secrets, various forms of "courts lack jurisdiction to look at what the Executive does," etc.--were zealously invoked and intentionally strengthened by a broad cadre of depraved Obama and Bush lawyers.

Daylight kidnappings by masked thugs. Universities turning students over to secret police for speaking against genocide. The only thing we know for sure about what comes next, is that the Dems are not gonna save us. Insanity is repeating the same actions expecting a new outcome. Build. Power. Now

“You’re no longer one of us.”

This was Hossam's last post on Instagram. Demanding accountability for Israel's attacks.

You have to wonder who they’re actually speaking to when #they say shit like this.

Reminder that the US has been disappearing people off the streets for decades and y'all turned a blind eye because all they have to say is "mental health" and all of a sudden we have no rights and no one cares.

I joined Upstream podcast to talk about China, the Chinese revolution, climate policy, unequal exchange, and the current increase in imperialist warmongering. Free access here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/u...

Tattoo this shit on your arm if you have memory problems.

A man slated for deportation has captured conditions inside the Krome Detention Center in Florida. He says some people have been confined like this for up to 30 days. At least three men have died at Krome in the past five months. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8248mFR/

A really good critique of our system and how it's misused by those who should be calling it out. @equalityalec.bsky.social

With all of the propaganda, panic, and lies about police-reported crime over the last few years, it's important to share this chart with people in your life. They'll learn a lot about crime, but more importantly, about the power of mass media manipulation.
