Disability justice activists were an important part of grassroots efforts to shut down Atlanta’s Cop City. I covered their work in this piece — worth revisiting as we think about who is most vulnerable to the growing police violence in our cities and how we can come together against it.

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

If you approach current events through a Eurocentric lens, you're not going to be ready for what's coming next, and you won't understand how to survive it.
One of many reasons that white antifascists need to study Black thinkers. The Plantation was the original Camp. The original gulag.

People across the world will likely spend the end of the year revisiting or newly discovering Reiner's art. When the other one dies, people will be looking for places to party and then they'll put him out of their minds.

People are going to die because of the pending insurance premium hikes. I know the terrain of discourse is inconsistent and goes through a tumble cycle every 24 hours, but I really think we need to hone in on this reality and drive it home for people.

Due to the absence
of reliable data
it can be difficult to know
exactly how bad
flu and Covid and RSV
rates are at the moment,
but considering
that NYC’s department of health
is urging people
to wear a mask
it seems safe to assume
that the current situation
is pretty bad.

The problem with ICE is not that it's targeting people who aren't criminals. The problem with ICE is that it's an unaccountable secret deportation police. It cannot be reformed under a better president. It can be made less terrible, but the instrument of repression remains for the next tyrant.

“Merrick garland will save us” will live with me as long as I live because it was always about pacification and never about actually stopping fascism.

Abolishing ICE is only the beginning. Have you looked at your local cops?

According to mappingpoliceviolence.us, police kill at least three people per day; from a meta analysis published in NYT, we now know the number could be six or even more.
