It's not enough for the State to criminalize being poor while rents go up: they also want to criminalize anyone who would act in solidarity with their neighbors, they're scared of people coming together against landlords and politicians.

Trump world manufactured "migrant crime" narrative with conspiracy theories; promising "kids in cages" on podcasts to their base but assuring voters they'd only target "criminals." Low numbers expose this bullshit strategy + power of communities organizing. www.thedailybeast.com/trump-orders...

I think you should be suspicious of people who post "it's over" etc... on social media. At the very least, you should ask yourself if these are people who have done more than casting a vote before. What does "it's over" even mean? WHO is it "over" for exactly? Don't come into my mentions with BS.
