H/t and thanks to @louiseseamster.bsky.social for talking to me about her work in this area… But I am not joking. We don’t need to just remove pipes or test water to protect these kids. We need to prosecute bad actors. Tax the rich. And enforce existing policies.

Angela Davis also said that electing MVP Kamala Harris would open more space for radical struggles. Again, she is far more strategic than you so-called "activists". You all confuse temper tantrums for strategy and activism. www.peoplesworld.org/article/ange...

Trump fabricated a photo of Mr. Garcia with an MS-13 tattoo on his hand in an effort to keep him in prison. Please understand that Trump regime would fabricate evidence to put you or your family in jail. This is what FASCIST regimes do. My new article: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/trump-fabr...

People are having that reaction when they hear statements like "fascist, authoritarian coup". It sounds so outlandish they refuse to engage with it at all. So I share things like this. An expert saying "yes this is actually a coup". bsky.app/profile/polo...
I'm about to dive deeper into books about authoritarianism. But I found this to be an excellent primer. "As a historian of coups, I consider this to be a situation that merits the word coup." www.youtube.com/watch?v=vK6f...

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”
