Spek the Lawless
Seattle Police are out of control. They just arrested photojournalist, Brad Fox. Police told Brad, "we know where you live"... So Brad repeated those words to his livestream audience, and police then arrested him for threatening an officer. This is retribution…

Reports are that Brad is out of jail after spending 30 minutes in custody.

Unions Are Essential for Eliminating Racism
A new study finds that unions don't just increase wages and benefits for workers on the job — union membership is also linked to diminished racist attitudes among white workers. If we want to defeat racism, building strong, democratic unions is essential.

Do you support the idea of defunding the Seattle Police Department?
"Scratch the surface of this feel-good story of crime reduction and community policing, and you’ll find a “surveillance city.” Camden is under constant monitoring: cameras, ShotSpotter gunshot detectors, automated license plate readers, a mobile observation tower. The much-praised police-citizen interactions that make up the work of “community policing” also double as moments of intelligence collection. It’s not just one-off interactions either. Police also develop relationships with neighborhood sentinels — “mothers with children, postal delivery workers, people who are engaged in local groups” — to gather intelligence. They organize residents to monitor their neighbors, report activity to police, and otherwise bolster police programs."
"The current Camden fetish is an attempt to avoid any real reckoning with the failures of police and capital. It’s an attempt to recalibrate state violence in the guise of progressive reform. Camden is not a model. It’s an obstacle to real change."

The “Camden Model” Is Not a Model. It’s an Obstacle to Real Change.
In response to radical demands to defund and disband the police, liberal reformers are pushing the “Camden model.” Don’t fall for it. Camden relies on mass surveillance to pacify its population — all to benefit business interests.
