Outside the White House right now. Yes, this is a liberal stunt meant to make you vote for Joe. But it points to something real in America. There is a decision at hand: a choice between a fantasy of return to ‘normal’ at a time when we know deep down that ‘normal’ can’t come back.
Choose black lives. Choose solidarity. Choose mutual aid and community defence. Choose anti-fascism and direct democracy. Vote in the streets. A new president won't change this society - we have to do that ourselves.

“...we should not make the mistake of assuming that everyone we see on the other side of the barricades, those we are fighting against, are on the same side or want the same thing. In the conflict that is building up pressure around the US elections, combative fascist organizations want a victory in the streets, whereas the Republican Party wants a victory in the courts. They each see the other as a naïve ally but also as a means to an end. They will each try to pull the conflict into their chosen terrain. Of course, the conflict will occur in both terrains simultaneously, but which one is dominant, the relative degree of their strength, will have a huge effect on events.”

In case you hadnt heard, Derek Chauvin, the ex-police officer charged with murdering #GeorgeFloyd has been released from jail on a non-cash bond.

"A Hennepin County judge is weighing whether all four former officers will be tried jointly. A tentative trial date has been set for March 2021."
"It is unclear where Chauvin might go. Under bail conditions, he is not allowed to leave Minnesota. His former home in the Twin Cities suburbs was recently sold. Members of his family have repeatedly declined to comment on his arrest, though unidentified relatives last month launched an online fundraiser through the site Give Send Go seeking to raise funds for Chauvin’s bail fund. A message posted there last week said the fundraising “has been slower than what we had expected.” As of Wednesday, the fund had raised just less than $4,000."

Mayor kenney is going after guns again. Gun control means more policing. Means more police violence
Forwarded from P.U.R.R. Philly Uprising Response
We support our bipoc comrades rights to arm and self defense. We believe cities like Philadelphia have taken steps to incite violence by instilling fears in the PPD over individuals possessing guns like other departments. I'm tired of the city inciting violence in our neighborhoods over something neighboring communities and especially white communities pride themselves on with Gun possession. Black folks have a 2nd amendment right to bear arms and form a well regulated militia. But those words create fear among whites. This needs to stop. Especially since there are so many white supremacist paramilitary operatives nationwide serving in our police forces, and being deputized when they arent.

I'm tired of the mayor, city council, and ppd looking for new crimes to write up to charge and harass civilians over.
