Rotten roots bloom in blood. They were never meant for us. Bellwethers of violence. Protect property. Serve the state. Badge of white supremacy. A system so corrupt will never allow itself to be dismantled, we must tear it down. Build our communities. We keep us safe. Stand in solidarity. There is no reforming this, abolition is the only way. There is no reforming this, abolition is the only way. "Divest from institutions that are harming Black and Brown communities and invest in initiatives that make us safe. Being 'tough on crime' drives many of our young men and women into a cycle of re incarceration. Instead of re entering the community rehabilitated, folks are marked with a giant scarlet letter denying them access to living wage jobs to sustain themselves in their communities. The safest communities don't have more cops, they have more resources. Residents of safe communities have access to living wage jobs, quality healthcare, affordable homes, and high quality education. You don't fight crime by hiring more police officers, you fight crime by fighting poverty. Safety doesn't come with more police or foot patrols. Safety comes from equal access to resources and opportunities. Safety comes from transparency and when those that do harm are held accountable."

"So here we are, confronted with an empire armed with a mandate from heaven and as added insurance, the most formidable arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in history. Here we are, confronted with an empire that has conferred upon itself the right to go to war at will. Empire is on the move and 'democracy' is it's sly new war cry. Democracy, home delivered to your door step by daisy cutters. Instant Mix Imperial Democracy: bring to a boil, add oil, then bomb."

Dedicated to all those involved in mutual aid across the world, creating a better world.
In Memory of (one day, hopefully soon) Donald Trump's oozing, bloated, rotten, corpse. May it wither away forever like the ideals that put him into office in the first place.
Special thanks to puppies, kittens, and all the people we love.
