"This is Eric Garner. This is Sandra Bland. This is police covering for police who kill Black people."
Koran Irvine, a Black father of two and Con Edison worker, was killed by retired NYPD officer Victor Romero in an apparent road rage shooting last week. Irvine was on his way home to his family on the George Washington Bridge.
On Tuesday, members of UWUA Local 1-2, Irvine's union, held a rally with members of his family demanding answers from the city representatives – who they still have not heard from.
At his indictment earlier that day, Romero's charges were upgraded to second-degree murder from manslaughter.
Despite these charges, he is currently walking free after posting a $1 million bail. Irvine's family is calling for him to be remanded and sent back to jail.

"Nothing of this scale has been seen in the United States, experts say, since the federal government’s counterinsurgency against the New Left and the anti-war movement in the 1960s and 1970s."

This is really moving. Having that brother’s coworkers show up for him in a highly contested and contentious space like w courthouse after a former cop killed him… so many families trudge this road alone. Shoutout to all them folks. #KoranIrvine

An NYPD officer shot and killed a man in Brooklyn, so @BrooklynDA Eric Gonzalez’s office filed charges – not against the officer who killed someone but against two activists who posted flyers criticizing the officer.

Yeeeaaaahhhh whatever you believe within the org, if you don't believe in the people's ability to understand what's in their own best interests, and in our ability to faithfully present arguments for that.. we just are not working on the same project.
Whatever segments of DSA are aligned with the “we must lie to the masses and ourselves to win” approach are the ones for which I don’t have any respect, and I’m afraid that it seems there are a lot of those people?

midterm voters are in the minority at 40-46%
among those who vote, only 20% vote on ideology, 80% vote due to partisan affiliation.
we are in the absolute tiniest minority for caring about policy outcomes. that’s why most campaigns let money do their convincing for them, and why many consultants here urge their clients to never offend the billionaires or deep pocketed corporate interests and present that as smart “electability” politics.

We are in the final stage of capitalism where global capital can’t expand or sustain past profits. It now consumes public institutions and key systems, sacrificing democracy, welfare, infrastructure, education, healthcare, and ecosystems for short-term gain.
