This was a public lynching. The NYPD allowed the murderer to walk because this city has long treated its most neglected residents as disposable, and because being black and poor is being increasingly criminalized under Eric Adams
Jordan Neely deserved better. We all do
A White man has been released without charges after killing a Black man on an NYC subway train, after he held him in a chokehold for *15 minutes.*
Passengers said the deceased man had been yelling that he was tired and needed something to eat and drink.

Lux is a new feminist magazine for the masses. The fantasy of the girl boss is dead.
We want more than capitalism offers: to suffer or exploit, to climb the ladder or knuckle under. We don't want what we've been offered.
We want it all.

Atlanta is arresting people who fundraise for bail and provide legal support to the Stop Cop City protestors. This is outright intimidation and a fascist attempt to bury dissent and any networks that help dissenters.
We have to fight
Every single member of the media needs to be asking
@andreforatlanta
and
@Atlanta_Police
how they possibly justify arresting those providing legal support for protesters. This is really really outrageous and they must be released immediately.

Clinton exemplifies a white, liberal and toothless feminism when she claims Giorgia Meloni's election as Italy's prime minister would be a break from the past. Fascism, whether dressed up with a feminine face or not, is a regression

"We need to re-learn how to perform abortions, how to support one another in getting them, how to make the lives of pro-life politicans and prosecutors hell, and how to organize local power. We cannot wait for the foundations and the national politicians to do it for us"
Sometimes I can't believe that political orgs and candidates are taking advice on how to talk about abortion from the very consultants who told us we were being hysterical by saying Roe could fall. How are the same people who didn't see this moment coming calling the shots now?

There are examples from around the world in what to do when abortion access is under attack, the time is for organizing and fighting back, not despairing
In Mexico 🇲🇽 when abortion rights were up for debate they marched to the presidential palace & attempted to burn it down. The Mexican government quickly decriminalized Abortion nationwide soon after that.

We need to build a stronger, bigger reproductive justice movement. It must be abolitionist and it must be socialist because abortion criminalization is just part of a larger project of criminalization that helps construct and maintain class divisions and control labor
