NYPD ice cream surveillance truck is wild. Another reason why you should not trust cops being around your children.

The descent into authoritarianism and militarized police absolutely started in blue states/cities. California and other blue states laid the groundwork for the prison boom and “tough on crime” era. And now, “Cop Cities”are being built in cities like Atlanta, often under

THREAD. A lot of attention is rightly going to Medicaid cuts and other very bad things in Trump's bill passed in the House, but there's something that isn't getting attention, that is difficult to find in any news coverage, but that will fundamentally alter life for all of us.

This article describes it more, but I want to focus on a few things. First, when you build infrastructure like this and create new jobs/pensions for right-wing unions, it's hard to ever remove them. A new gestapo could become a permanent feature of life. wola.org/analysis/160-b…

Recently, DRC staff joined the 2025 Education and Youth Justice Convening hosted by the Alliance for Boys and Men of Color, Partnership for the Future of Learning California, Fix School Discipline, and other organizations! Megan Stanton-Trehan, Allegra Cira Fischer, and Sarah

This is the next big moment for people to be out in the streets. The police state is real. Cop Nation is real. The Marines, National Guard, Ice, and local cops are all tools of the state to be used against the people. We should be ungovernable in the face of fascism.

Don't fall victim to the good protester/bad protester narratives that the liberals are promoting. Trump is going to suppress resistance in any and all forms. And at the end of the day, the liberals are going to aid him in that endeavor. Don't have any illusions about that. It's

Internment camps. Prison slavery. COINTELPRO. The Indian Removal Act. Japanese internment. Anti-communist witch hunts. FBI raids on the Panthers. The United States has long used fascist tools to suppress Black liberation, Indigenous sovereignty, immigrant rights, and

My people! It’s a crazy time. People are hurting financially, mentally and physically which often can lead to people taking it out on the people in closest proximity to them. I want to remind folks that we’ve expanded this helpline to California so that people at risk of

My brother, Gustavo López Orozco, and I just co-wrote a piece published in Inequality.org: Does It Mean to Build a Country That Was Never Meant for You? We need to create a world free from the clutches of empire. That starts with organizing and resisting. inequality.org/article/what-d…

We’re not just fighting to tear down what harms us — we’re fighting to build something we can co-create and co-govern. A world where everyone belongs, regardless of borders, birthplace, or background. Where care is a collective responsibility, and resources are distributed not by

Five years after George Floyd was murdered, the state isn’t just doubling down — it’s building an entire war machine to crush our communities. Some say Trump is borrowing from the Italian dictator Benito Mussolini’s authoritarian playbook. But the truth is, these tactics

We are not witnessing the arrival of fascism. We are watching it evolve and expand. And let’s be clear: this authoritarian turn didn’t begin with Trump. It was built – brick by brick – in Democratic strongholds.

“If we built this country under chains, imagine what we could build in freedom. But freedom doesn’t come from waiting. It comes from organizing, resisting, and refusing to let our labor, our lives, or our liberation be commodified again. …”
