Vincent Bevins' "The Jakarta Method" describes how the United States facilitated the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of leftists around the world.

β€œThis is not normal” says the party who never stopped ICE raids.

β€œThis is not normal” says the party that armed Israel’s genocide.

β€œThis is not normal” says the party who unanimously confirmed Marco Rubio.

It’s time to build a party that serves people, not profits.

On January 5th, Jakarta Jackson was killed by Rock Island PD Ofc. Brett Taylor when he was pulled over, while his daughter was in his car. Since then the State’s Attorney didn’t press charges and the RIPD has Ofc. Taylor back on the streets. No more killing of Black lives: fire Brett Taylor.

Some baristas are being told NOT to reference Black History Month when writing on cups & bags, although they face potential discipline for not writing anything at all - even when understaffed or during a rush.

Why is this an issue, and why is Starbucks management emboldened to make these decisions?

By asking for donations and using our member dues, we were able to get enough supplies for dozens of people today. Not only is there no reason for the city of Davenport to do the same, but we did it on a shoestring budget.

There’s enough vacant homes in this country to house everyone several times over, but landlords buy up swathes of homes and let them stay vacant to create scarcity, allowing rents to soar.

QCDSA’s Mutual Aid Working Group was in Davenport today giving out winter clothing and hygiene supplies to our unhoused comrades. As socialists, we believe that everyone should have their essential needs met, but capitalism creates the conditions for homelessness to exist. 🧡
