This weekend we were in Council Member Feliz's district with @DarializaforNY and @ConradforHarlem talking to neighbors about the CURB Act. Of the people we spoke to, 91% support blocking SRG from policing protests. @OswaldFeliz, when will you bring the CURB Act to a hearing?

Unsurprising. The U.S.'s police & prison system is another tool in the capitalist toolbox, used to control & coerce the working class and reinforce the dominance of the wealthy over America's black and brown working class. I.e. the system is designed to keep us poor, not safe.

New: a secretive DHS predictive policing unit is analyzing Americans' financial activity, feeding those names to police, then having cops pull them over. Not suspected of specific crime. We're revealing unit name: Predictive Intelligence Targeting Team 404media.co/a-secretive-dhs-…

404 Media is revealing the name of Border Patrol's predictive policing units, which analyze financial data and have local cops pull people over. The people are not suspected of any particular crime.

The audacity & gall of ppl to just ignore and erase the fact that there are members of DSA who came up from the literal TRENCHES, & those numbers grow everyday. This is why I tried so hard reaching ppl in the projects. Because we have ideas about how to build a better life too!

Serious question: Are *any* of the DSA folks in NYC actually from working class families..? Seems like they are all trust fund kids.

Many socialists in the US admire and uplift Eugene Debs as a socialist hero but then forget he said this when they want to try and talk about PIC abolition as outlandish, crazy, etc.

We ready to talk 'bout how its lowkey racist that pundits also ignore that a root cause/transformative justice approach isn't just a "college campus" thing?! It's something communities of color (esp. working class & low income) understand & prefer over treating us like animals 🤦🏿‍♂️
Alec Karakatsanis@equalityAlecAug 14
Replying to @equalityAlec
There's a very weird tendency in left punditry now to categorically dismiss "defund the police" or "abolition" as "woke" and then to move on. The Prospect goes so far as to suggest that anti-repression is not even among the core tenets of the socialist left!

We stand on the shoulders of our ancestors, many of whom gave their lives, livelihood(s), & freedom for PIC abolition. And, we stand on streets, stained by the blood of BIPOC, whose lives were stolen by the US Carceral State. Abolition isn’t an idea/slogan to be tossed aside..1/2

...because some think its not politically palatable. It's a political struggle, whose realization is necessary for our collective liberation from the shackles of unbridled US capitalism. I will always stand ten toes on that.

Every day, Bronx public defenders are on the front lines, fighting for our neighbors against the mass incarceration system. These workers deserve compensation that keeps pace with skyrocketing inflation. I spoke with @ConradforHarlem about what the @BxDUnion is fighting for.

Extractive capitalism is destroying our planet and our communities' ability to thrive. Establishment leaders (of all parties) have failed to address climate change, wealth disparity, and the health consequences of both. We are here to change that.

ICE has terrorized OUR streets for too long. I stand w/ the brave electeds who are calling on Schumer & Jeffries to abolish ICE. It's truly a disgrace that NO Harlem reps have signed on. Jordan, Yusef, Cordelle - show us that you'll fight for us‼️Sign on‼️

This weekend's news of Kinu Rochford's passing is heartbreaking. During a basketball tournament that is meant to bring our community together, we lost a father, a leader, a talent. To build our power, we must end these cycles of violence, love, & protect each other. R.I.P Kinu🕊
