106 years ago, one of the deadliest race massacres in American history took place in Elaine, Arkansas. Black farmers, seeking fair payment for their crops, organized through the Progressive Farmers and Household Union of America.

When their meeting was attacked by a group of white men, the confrontation left one white man dead. In response, white mobs, joined by federal troops, launched a days-long assault on the Black community, killing well over 100 Black men and women.

The headlines below show the cost to Black families and how a disinformation campaign was used to justify the violence against Black Americans. The claim, all too familiar, was that the Black organizers were trying to start a socialist revolution.

Young Fascists. The fascist party has had a maligned influence on american politics and we have to be vigilant for years to come.

We have to stand on principles and not personalities or we'll get duped by the normie-presenting fascists.

Algorithmic price fixing runs this economy and is another coercive force in americans' lives.

California is setting the example in consumer protections atm.

The premise of this war, on releasing 7 hostages is bad-faith when thousands of Palestinians are jailed with out charges, including children. Israel has been an apartheid state this whole time.

99% of racism is implied. It's all winks and nods and tones between YTs. So much so, a majority of them don't even know it's a large component of the air they breath, yet unable to grasp.

Kamala deserves boos, trying to sell us her book. Her responses to the protests are deflective, neo-liberal smarm.

She has no genuine policy beliefs and blames us for her loss. And after losing, she didnt rally people behind any CIVIC PRINCIPLES besides silence, "give me credit" and "buy my book"

We shoulda known fascism was OTW when they purposely misunderstood Kaep's protest.

They actively disinfo'd and mis-messaged BLM.

No one ever said anything like that yet YT people translated it that way.

Seems like a THEM problem (as usual). YT liberals really be covering for the collective ignorance of YT america.

"OmG guyysssss they didnt knowweeee"

This shit is elementary to everyone but YTs.

We've been suffering from a language barrier. That's why we have not been able to unite to find out what's wrong here.

A good example of the language barrier is this. The BLM movement to a POC that means equality and justice for all. It got translated as "blackie out to kill whitey".

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Last I checked the GOP controls all branches of our government.

Tweet from MeidasTouch: “Wow that’s crazy. Who’s running the federal government?”
Below, Acyn’s tweet quotes Rep. Mike Johnson: “If you look at polling, people’s faith in the federal government is at an all-time low. Why? Because they don’t see that it’s being done well.”
A C-SPAN screenshot shows Johnson speaking with another man standing beside him.

It's not mutual aid because that person's not part of your community apparently even though you see them online, but why don't people get that we must expand our notion of community & get out of who white capitalism says is it is even to band together to get through our fascist predicament.
