It Has Begun

So it looks like the literal fascist takeover has begun (this was published July 18, 2020).

Trump’s federal jackboots are testing the waters in Portland. Where is next?

The ACLU is fighting them in court, but we all need to expose this and do everything we can to stop them before it’s too late.

ACLU story and call to action: X

Chicago. Chicago is next. Announced today, July 20, 2020.

I’d like to point out that the continual and constant message of the protesters in Portland has been: defund the police, make them accountable for their actions, stop predatory policing of Black people. It is largely organized and lead by local Black organizers.

Black Lives Matter!

Chicago, NYC, Philadelphia, Detroit and Baltimore have all been named as potential next sites of federal occupation, citing ‘increased violence’ and corrupt liberal governments.
