Capitalism used racism to justify plunder, conquest and slavery, but as Karl Marx pointed out, it also used racism to divide and rule--to pit one section of the working class against another and thereby blunt class consciousness.

It's wild seeing normie Dems finally reach the point where they're calling for primaries, yet knowing that they're at least a decade behind the curve. They're repeating all the same mistakes we made in 2008/2016/2020 and they refuse to listen because they still think the party can still be salvaged.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

I don't think it's cowardice. I think that they are OK with what the GOP is doing. The sooner folks reconcile with this, the better.

PEOPLE. ARE. STARVING. Can they eat the rules of procedure? No? THEN FEED THEM.
The purpose of a system is what it does. And if the rules of procedure allow people to starve, they're wrong.

I hate talking about electoral politics because it constantly feels like an emperor's new clothes situation. Because people talk like all you have to do is vote and that'll change everything, and you should vote, but recognize that each vote does not count the same.

The Dems need to be hammering hard on the fact that It’s not that the admin can’t issue snap funds, it’s that they don’t want to and they want you to starve.

idk who needs to hear this but the President of the United States of America is APPEALING a judges order forcing him to fully fund SNAP.
Yes — DJT is appealing a ruling telling him to NOT starve his own people. Let that simmer.

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Cop watching it happen and telling horrified onlookers to back up while the Feds kidnap a baby from a seizing man. Keeping names I hope for when this is over.
ICE grabs father by the neck—send him into violent seizure while his arms lock up around his toddler.
"He's having seizure and they're trying to rip the baby out of his hands!"
Agents then handcuff him—before putting in ambulance with his child.
Mother is detained by agents as target of arrest.

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position
He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.
