It’s hard to think of another headline which could capture so succinctly the disaster of american capitalism. There are so many fucking layers to this, from the continued legality of slavery, to the white supremacy of the prison industry, to the erosion of public services under neoliberalism, to the advance of climate change, to the disastrous effect of “law and order politics” which has led to us keeping human beings stuffed in densely packed prison while a highly infections respiratory disease chokes them to death.
And WORST OF ALL, the supposed “resistance” party against the fascists is helmed by two people who have a DIRECT HAND in this taking place, Joe Biden whose 1994 crime bill extended penalties for nonviolent crimes, and Kamala Harris who made it possible to use prisoners as firefighters.
Harris later reversed that position, saying her staff attorneys had made the argument without her knowledge.
As Vice President, I promise to continue blaming anything I do that results in public backlash on the people I have direct power over. Really, my biggest strength as a candidate is a complete inability to enforce basic moral reasoning among my subordinates.
Not gonna lie, California’s pretty lit right now.
Prison labor is slavery.
John brown will ride again
