The AOCification of Zohran Mamdani is accelerating by the minute.

A shooting in midtown and he is renouncing ‘defund the police’ and saying that it was 2020 and he was just angry about George Floyd.

Abolitionists don’t flip flop on institutions as corrupt and brutal as the NYPD.

There is as much hope of reforming the Democrats from within as there was hope of reforming the Nazis from within.

Genocidal political parties cannot be redeemed.

And this party in particular continues to demonstrate that even its most ‘progressive’ wing is complicit and comfortable with fascism.

In his haste to distract from his p*doph*lia, Trump released the MLK files and, inadvertently, what was likely the real reason King was killed.

He was planning multiple city strikes across the country to demand reparations.

20 Billion a year for ten years was the demand, almost 2 Trillion today.

At an event a few weeks ago a brother live stream joined us from Gaza; an audience member asked him about those who try to distance themselves from H-group.

His answer: ‘whoever doesn’t support the resistance doesn’t support Palestinian liberation, whoever condemns the resistance is a traitor.’

The game plan the CIA has used to destabilize democracies and install dictators worldwide is now being run full speed on the United States, with the eager assent of a minority of committed fascists

We exported autocracy for decades- what did Malcolm say?

Chickens coming home to roost

Fight back

The US prison population has declined from 1.6 M in 2009, years to about 1.2M in 2023 and was projected to fall as low as 600K in 10yrs

The escalation in ICE is designed to facilitate state repression, but it’s also a blank check to the prison industrial complex and private prisons.

249 years ago today, a group of genocidal slave-owning settlers declared their ‘independence.’

Without irony, they decried the British treating them like slaves, and demanded freedom

History and morality have rendered their verdict:

Humanity needs a Declaration of Independence from the US Empire
