One of my favorite Substackers, Johnathan Larsen (of The Fucking News and Johnathan Larsen's Substack) rarely misses a chance to point out that we got along just fine for 225 years without ICE or DHS. Both of them were born out of a knee jerk (emphasis on jerk) reaction to 9/11, and a smoke test of just how much we would sacrifice on the altar of fear.
Voted! Will again tomorrow and Friday! 100% - if you think this 'isn't America' you've not been paying attention, studying, listening or reading. As a boomer, no we didn't learn this in school but here's the deal-you're not excused from continuing to seek knowledge, to question, think and act. Use your Public Library while you still have one too!
Great interview, glad you had Lee on the show Qasim! 🔥🔥🔥
Sadly, none of this ICE behavior is new. It didn’t start with Trump. But a critical mass of people see it now. That’s why abolition is the only way forward. We can’t go back. Or we’ll just arrive here again.
Qasim, I'd like to send you a copy of my book, Crossing the Line: Finding America in the Borderlands. (Note: America does not refer to a place in this subtitle.) Please DM me your address. And thanks for all you do to light the way in these dark times. Sarah
Fascism is a word invented by Mussolini, it meant the total militarization of the state, so basically it meant a military dictatorship, but it did NOT include a racist or genocidal intention.
Hitler added in racism, religious intolerance and genocide rebranding Mussolini's fascism into his own hyper conservative form of fascism which he called NAZISM.
The current crop of single party state advocates are both racist and genocidal therefor they are NAZIS, and NOT simple "fascists", that would be too good a term for them, we should say that they are NAZIS because that is what they are.
Thank you so much for sharing this important information. You’re going great work, keep getting the word out.
Disgusting

I did watch the livestream earlier today, and took a lot from it! Hey Qasim! Thanks for introducing me to George Lee! ☮️
Thanks for watching, Elaine!

Exactly right.
