Want to Stop ICE? Go After Its Corporate Collaborators.

ICE can’t function without help from the private sector. So we should force the private sector to stop helping.

I believe the flattening of King’s vision has been intentional, to minimize the breadth of his impact across all sectors of society by falsely limiting it to one racialized group. King was feared by power in the United States not because he spoke up about race, which he did, but because he linked that struggle and the struggle of the poor around the world to militarism and capitalism.

Photo of a swat team officer jumping and stomping on a man who has fallen to the ground. Words added to the image read "I'm' here to protect and serve ... the hit out of you."

The photo appears to be real and not faked. — Photo of a swat team officer jumping and stomping on a man who has fallen to the ground. Words added to the image read "I'm' here to protect and serve ... the hit out of you." The photo appears to be real and not faked.

It's interesting how we managed to keep the Nazis at bay by offering everyone a quality source like the Financial Times free to read online. The blogosphere also was free to read for everyone with plenty of left-wing activist content.

Now even left-wing activist content has been paywalled behind Nazistack, and people wonder why we're losing the information war. Meanwhile, the Nazis are largely giving out their content for free.

#Trump & Cabinet secretaries conspired to violate the #Constitution

In remarks laced with outrage, a Reagan appointed federal judge, speaking at a hearing on student detentions, decried “breathtaking” violations by top officials & called Trump an “authoritarian.”
