The destruction of independent media outlets and the attempts to bring higher education to heel are part of a united authoritarian strategy designed to destroy checks on their propaganda.

Epstein’s economic power among academics was made possible by a capitalist system that makes higher education dependent on the charity economy rather than a public good supported by taxing the rich

That's what you took from this?

The Ghost of Tom Joad

'Now Tom said, "Mom, wherever there's a cop beating a guy

Wherever a hungry newborn baby cries

Where there's a fight against the blood and hatred in the air

Look for me, Mom, I'll be there'

Federal immigration officers wear a bewildering array of labels, tactical gear and clothing accessories from different agencies, often wearing masks and refusing to identify themselves.

It's sometimes not possible to know which agency an individual works for.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Stay free

Maybe media, politicians & academics should also look into claims this racism & fascism is because the working class 'demand' it. These elite far right grifters have contempt for the working class & no interest in addressing economic/material inequalities. It's just racist, classist divide & rule.
