With Craig Mokhiber, International Human Rights Lawyer, activist, and stellar medea source, former UN Human Rights Official; Medea Benjamin, Co-Founder of CodePink, longtime leading antiwar activist; and Victory Ross, WNYPC Interim Executive Director, hosting. Topics: values; US Military Aggression ramping up from behind the scenes in Palestine to very directly in Venezuela; regional build-up of military readiness in the Carribean (and with 900 bases worldwide); US Media complicity in parroting the lies of the US government; National Day of Action on 1/17 (in Buffalo: 3pm in Niagara Square); how people can help and get more involved.
These are not "police," and they are not law enforcers. They are a lawless gang. Look at their uniforms (sometimes plain clothes and sometimes military), their masks (protecting impunity), their gear (militarized), their tactics (human rights violations, unprofessional conduct, random violence, unconstitutional acts, intentional cruelty), and their mission (violent and racist). Created and unleashed without due diligence in the panicked era of post-9-11 hysteria, and then commandeered by Trump's empowered xenophobes, they are now his own thuggish, politicized, paramilitary agents of MAGA ideology. They are the Brownshirts of the 21st Century. They must be dismantled and held accountable. #AbolishICE #JusticeForReneeGood
disappeared to after their boy got elected....they are all in ICE. Untrained, unqualified, inept, violent fucking thugs.
Due Dissidence, among others, have accurately called out ICE as the US Gestapo. They are not going to stop at "illegals"; as donny scumbag himself said, "The domestics are next".
Pastor Niemoller wrote something about this I seem to remember....The corporate media are complicit in the Gaza genocide. Never forget what they did. Never forgive them for it.
Where are those Second Amendment types when you need them?
