Joined March 2012
Today we launch a new fight. 🚀 This one is for the real architects of this country. For every underdog, radical dreamer, and diamond in the rough. For the migrant worker. The cook, the mechanic, the poet, the teacher. The farmer. The storyteller. The waitress. The nurse.

We asked people behind bars what services and programs could have changed the course of their lives. Therapy, affordable housing and a living wage topped the list.

For @MarkJackson13 there is no debate, Patrick Ewing stands alone. As the franchise’s all-time leader in points, rebounds, and blocks, Ewing anchored an era and defined Knicks basketball for a generation.

🙌🏽“These billionaires aren’t just stealing, they are actively engineering the conditions of the crisis poor and working-class people live in. From housing and labor to surveillance and environmental degradation, they profit from our inability to lead a safe and good life.”

The socialist is correct here, ending racial capitalism addresses a materialist and economic problem, but it doesn’t however, address the core of anti-blackness, which is an ontological and metaphysical problem.
I’ve got a “socialist” in my DMs saying that ending capitalism won’t end racism 🤣

This Working-Class Wednesday, we want to remind folks that poverty isn’t an individual’s problem, but a systemic one. It’s not a series of personally bad decisions, but of an inherently racist and colonialist empire.

We’re being called to rewrite the recipe for safety and a good life for all. An economy based on class-consciousness, solidarity, and redistribution—not manufactured scarcity and racial inequity. A recipe meant to feed one another, not billionaires feeding on us.
