Yesterday, an ICE agent opened fire in Marble Hill. They shot a member of our community in the neck while he was in his car. His five-year-old kid was in a child seat in the back of the car when ICE agents fired at least 7 rounds into it. This was in the middle of the afternoon, with children walking home from school and people heading home from work. Federal agents put every one of them in danger.
When I was in Marble Hill last night I saw NYPD officers rapidly escalating violence. As I was trying to de-escalate, I was shoved to the ground by an officer. I witnessed unmarked law enforcement cars hitting protestors as NYPD officers pushed people out of its path. And instead of condemning ICE’s violence, Police Commissioner Tisch attempted to justify the shooting by reading off our neighbor’s past interactions with police.
The NYPD spent more time protecting a militia that just shot someone than protecting New Yorkers. Last night, the NYPD and Commissioner Tisch violated the spirit, if not the letter, of our sanctuary city policies and fueled the Trump Administration’s attempt to demonize our communities. The NYPD’s Strategic Response Group must be disbanded as quickly as possible, and Commissioner Tisch must step down.
In this district, there are mothers who are afraid to send their kids to school, workers who are afraid to show up for their shifts, and people who won’t call for help anymore because they can’t be sure who will come. That’s what it means to have a violent militia operating in your community. You don’t feel safe walking down your own street.
For decades, we’ve been told ICE can be fixed with more oversight, better training, or reform. But you can’t reform an agency whose purpose is to terrorize immigrant families. You can’t train cruelty out of a system built to enact cruelty. ICE must be abolished.
This moment demands that everyone step up. Elected officials at every level need to stop hedging and say it plainly: Abolish ICE now. Our city must enforce every sanctuary protection we have and city officials must ensure this cannot happen again.

Tom Morello protested against South African apartheid when he was a student at Harvard. Tom is consistent 💪🏾.
Tom Morello (@tmorello) says he didn't vote for Kamala Harris in 2024.
"I saw how the corporate Democrat sausage is made. It is worse than you think. And there is a righteous fury at the corporate-controlled, money-controlled electoral system we have that is absolutely illegitimate. And people cannot choke down voting for a candidate, I understand it, cannot choke down voting for a candidate that's responsible for what happened in Gaza. And they just, they can't do it."

You can thank our favorite Black socialist, Charles Barron, for ENY approving the highest amounts of *truly* affordable housing in Brooklyn.

'The Israelis are worse than the Nazis, at least the Nazis has the decency to try and hide what they are doing. The Israelis boast about it. It's demonically evil.'

🗣️BLACK PEOPLE HAVE LESS POLITICAL POWER THAN WE DID IN THE 70s
And it’s because we’ve had a generation of deliberate misleadership by the “Black capitalists” appointed to replace our revolutionary Black leaders of the 60s

Every Black ancestor that was assassinated in this Empire either directly stood for, what was described at the time as radical Leftist economic and governance policies and a threat American imperialism and capitalism,
or, even if they weren't explicit Lefitst, they were still labeled radical-communists (leftists) anyways and were assassinated.
You can read our history and CLOCK IT.
The modern Negroliberal, Black Zionist, Black capitalist, and Black Misleadership Class inherently aligns with the ideologies that assassinated our ancestors whether they want to admit it or not.
That's why it is morally appropriate for us to have beef with those goofies

Shannon Sharpe gets deep and reveals that agents have blackballed their clients from coming on the show over a topic they discussed last year. He says you sees how they are treating Macklemore. He says you can talk about Black people any way you want and nothing happens . They call it freedom of speech.But if you talk about certain people, they try to blackball you completely

Black political power means a system that mimics the things that have worked for us before colonization, not one that mimics white supremacy.

Danielle Moodie: Hasan Piker's role is to be a provocateur, to provoke you to think, to question what it is that you've been told.
It is an idiot's game to continue to wave the flag of patriotism and try and play tone police and gotcha.
Wajahat Ali: They deliberately failed. They're not stupid. They're very smart. Symone is a black woman in America. Eugene is a black gay man in America. You're telling me they don't know about systemic violence?
