Trump’s so-called “peace plan” in Gaza is not a solution but an imperialist maneuver to stabilize the crisis of U.S. hegemony and Israel’s overreach. This collides with Netanyahu’s expansionism and the growing international movement in solidarity with Palestine.

For years, San Franciscans considered him the rare big-hearted billionaire. But days before his Dreamforce conference begins, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff said he would support President Trump sending the National Guard to SF and that Trump is doing “a great job.”

If all 2.7 million residents of Chicago came out onto the street, ICE and the National Guard would run. Do it!

This is ICE's official number: 50%!! collateral damage, just like Israel. ICE is nothing more than a state terrorist organization designed to attack and divide the working class, just like cops. We must unite all of our forces against them and all the repressive apparatuses of the state.

Andrew Weinstein @andrewjweinstein.com · 9d

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.
