Last thing before I'm sentenced: Don't worry about me while I'm in jail, we will be okay. Worry about what YOU are doing - or failing to do - every day the Palestinian Holocaust continues. “What are the pretenses that absolve us from participating in history?” - @m7mdkurd

The Democrats spent the last 4 years massively accelerating the expansion of the police state and surveillance infrastructure around the U.S.— and now they get to hand it all over to the fascist they’ve been “warning us about”. They were never going to “protect us from fascism”.

“You vote once in four years, and that’s your political responsibility? That’s the height of bourgeois propaganda, making the people politically irresponsible. Thinking their responsibility is limited to a one day vote. Politics is every day.” — Kwame Ture https://t.co/ANyVaiihTz

Just got off the phone with my friend on the ground in Gaza. No one else’s perspective I care about today. They said everyone knows the bombs will keep falling no matter which fascist wins the election, and they are all waiting for the “solidarity” movement to escalate.

Today's election in the belly of the imperialist beast called the USA, is not an election to overturn the imperialist system. It is at best to determine who will be the watch manager and face of the imperialist system. A system that they themselves have no real control over

The US Presidential election could well be determined by just a few thousand people in Georgia. Atlanta Democrats have disenfranchised 116,000 people in order to build Cop City. Demoralizing the very people they hope save them in this election.

In the battleground state of Georgia, Democrats’ decision to disregard the will of 116,000 voters could have major consequences.
