by Color of Change https://win.newmode.net/colorofchange/iceoutfundtsa President Trump has deployed ICE agents to over a dozen airports around the country in response to the chaos that he has caused with the government shutdown and his refusal to fund TSA. It's simple. ICE is an unaccountable paramilitary force designed to terrorize Black and brown communities that has already killed multiple American citizens. ICE has no place in our airports. Tell your representatives to get [...]

Well, I don't think it's fair to charge just one branch of the government. We live in a country where the Supreme Court, which is the highest judicial power in the US, essentially gave unlimited power and immunity to the president on the [...]
by Michael Novick, Anti-Racist Action Los Angeles/People Against Racist Terror (ARA-LA/PART) Whether you agree or disagree that Trump is a fascist or that fascism is already here, as George Jackson put it 55+ years ago, there is no doubt that the time for massive resistance and non-compliance is upon us. That is the only viable response to state efforts to terrorize civil society, stigmatize and red-bait any protest or political criticism as [...]

I am instead going to take a longer view, and look back over the past quarter-century to see what got us into this deepening political, moral, economic and [...]
