Abolition Is Still the Only Way Out of This
Forget the useless so-called “reforms” to ICE and policing currently on offer. We need much more fundamental change.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”

There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

But far-right voices & some on the left are using his words as evidence of how "Jews" think. A sex trafficker becomes the spokesman for all Jews.

That is the oldest move in the antisemitic playbook: find the worst example, make him representative, collectivize the guilt.

Jeffrey Epstein was a monster. His crimes were real. His victims deserve justice and are being revictimized right now by the DOJ.

Turning his private emails into proof of a Jewish conspiracy is pure antisemitism. And it is spreading faster than anyone is willing to say.

People are routinely subjected to sexual harm, yes, and other people perpetuate sexual harm. But it is a myth that serves the police to make "sex trafficking" a unique crime that is committed by shadowy others. All of the copaganda has not protected women and girls at all.

It should be illuminating that prosecuting sex trafficking, the thing that prosecutors and police across the country have been using as a cash cow to fund surveillance and weaponry, is actually not something government prosecutors care about at all.
The system does not hold people accountable.

Innovation under capitalism has one goal: lower labor costs to raise corporate profits. We are more productive than ever, but the owners are pocketing the difference.

Meanwhile, we’re spending as much on policing as ever, the police are killing as many people as ever, “crime” was successfully used to normalize military occupation of US cities, and despite these trends being longstanding, the Trump admin is now touting these numbers to argue for more policing.

That this country has 10 billionaires that have more wealth than the bottom half of the planet. That we are now operating as pirates of the world forcibly starving and collapsing regimes at will. That billionaires own our country. That our elite are sex trafficking pedos

This is the 38th time that the U.S. military has unlawfully killed civilians on the orders of Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump. At least 130 people — never charged with crimes, their identities unknown to their executioners — are now dead.

This is how we got Democrats to vote for the Laken Riley Act, because they were so worried about looking like they cared about "criminals."

The people who support mass deportation policies never cared about whether people have "criminal records," and I caution people who want to stop mass deportations that they should not focus on the "criminal records" either.

I've been to some countries where people live under military rule or autocracy. And without fail, one of the questions I get when they ask about life in the U.S. is whether it's true that Americans just let homeless people die on the street.
During freezing temperatures in Port Arthur, Texas, a 61-year-old homeless man was found dead in his wheelchair outside a convenience store.

He was wearing a hospital gown and no shoes. Authorities say he had been released from a hospital the previous day.

This is a diseased society.
