ICE is a quickly consolidating secret and private police force that is already engaged in right wing style terror. If we allow it to continue, it will serve as the necessary force for the obvious third term push and the consolidation of a full fascist coup at hand. Abolish ICE.

As you can see from my already worn proof copy I had the delightful chance to read Ashley Farmer’s significant contribution in the biography of Audley Queen Mother Moore. This book is thoroughly researched and well executed. could serve as a textbook in Africana 20th century thought and movements

Contextualizing the expansion of extralegal murders by the US in Latin America is necessary. The geopolitical flexing is tied to heating the warlike competition with China over global hegemony in the projected new economy. The return to craven open imperialism is centrally about minerals.

Honestly the turn to us patriotism (while our gov under both parties supports genocide and war everyday) in the protest was disheartening. but I was heartened by the contingent mostly of the young protesting within the protest for the liberation of Palestinians.
