MAGA-style, authoritarian governments are winning elections across the globe with unapologetic racism at the center of their campaigns. And Black people, Muslims, and immigrants are overwhelmingly experiencing the violent attacks of their regimes.

Racism and scapegoating have been at the core of the authoritarian movement’s strategy since the Civil Rights movement won landmark change that massively threatened capitalists and oligarchs.

Flock cameras are everywhere, and the likelihood that your city has installed them in your neighborhood is pretty high.

No ALPRs, no AI data centers, no to surveillance. Dozens of city across the US have cancelled contracts with Flock because of community pressure. Data center plans are getting cancelled or delayed because people are fighting back.

Justice for sweet baby Kohen Wiley. The police violence that continues to target Black people must end. There is nothing we can do to undo this horrific violence, but we can do what we can to put ourselves in the way of this death machine.

May Day is Friday- and we need solidarity more than ever. White people in particular: our communities have a track record of being recruited by those at the top to reject solidarity with working class people of color and instead choose whiteness. And- there are historic stories of solidarity too.

The far right has successfully moved racist conspiracy theories like "white genocide" or the "Great Replacement Theory" from fringe ideas to the mouth of the president on live TV. By drumming up a fake crisis for white people, they create cover to pass bills that will harm all of us.
