I don’t think that he is a Russian asset as such. What I think is going on is that the big three are dividing the world between themselves. Talks have taken place. Two totalitarian powers, the other may be in Nov. Question - who gets Europe? I think they will draw the line where it was. Axis of … ?

Immigrant New Yorkers belong here. ICE does not. If you need help, call our free, confidential Immigration Legal Support Hotline at 1-800-354-0365 or dial 311 and say “Immigration Legal.” Help is here in your native language, no matter your immigration status. More info: nyc.gov/knowyourrights

Getting everyone used to seeing troops ‘guarding’ election booths so it won’t be a shock in the midterms when ICE will be dressed in National Guard uniforms but acting like Brownshirts.

The world is getting very unstable. People have lost faith in politicians, democracy and are flocking to right wing parties. Looking at the rise of the UK Reform Party, this is also applicable to other right wing parties. It outlines an alternative politics and an economics “as if people mattered”.

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult. A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates. Dems need to be on the side of the many, not Big Money.

Neoliberalists preach the ideology as an excuse for political inaction, while acting the opposite way. In the latest episode of “What’s the Point?” co-CEO Richard Denniss calls out this inconsistency. Listen here: australiainstitute.org.au/post/whats-the-point-of-neoliberalism/

My statement on the ICE shooting in Marble Hill ⬇️

"Today in Marble Hill, ICE agents fired multiple shots at a man in his vehicle while his 5-year-old child was in the back seat.
ICE's already unwelcome presence in our city has been growing more escalatory and dangerous by the day. Today's shooting is a grave development that requires a swift and immediate response to protect the safety of all New Yorkers.
First, we must have a full and independent investigation of this incident.
"There must also be a full and immediate release of all body camera footage of the incident.
In addition, the Target Corporation must stop offering their Bronx properties as private staging sites for ICE, in compliance with requests from New York officials. Target opening up large, active retail parking lots for paramilitary activity is unacceptable and places the entire community at risk.
ICE is a rogue, lawless paramilitary and surveillance agency.
It does not belong in New York City and it should not exist in the United States of America. Abolish ICE.”

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $8 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of American households is worth just $4.27 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.
