Radical Education & Abolition Development

Policing in the United States has been rooted in slavery, brutality, and injustice since its origin in slave patrols. In the layered systems of oppression that we live under (colonization, white supremacy, patriarchy, and other class oppressions), the police are tasked with enforcing the illegitimat...

For parents and comrades who died of exposure. For friends between places, for a space to get warmth and warm clothes. Let's get together safely, share some Solidari-Tea and have some community. Hit us up, we want partners and helpers. We are in this thing together.

Any feminist deemed "more dangerous than a thousand rioters" is a feminist worth knowing 💜❤️🖤

"We [women] are the slaves of slaves. We are exploited more ruthlessly than men. Whenever wages are to be reduced the capitalist class use women to reduce them, and if there is anything that you men should do in the future it is to organise the women...

Now, what do we mean when we say revolutionary Socialist?

We mean that the land shall belong to the landless, the tools to the toiler, and the products to the producers... I believe that if every man and every woman who works, or who toils in the mines, mills, the workshops, the fields, the factories and the farms of our broad America should decide in their minds that they shall have that which of right belongs to them, and that no idler shall live upon their toil ... then there is no army that is large enough to overcome you, for you yourselves constitute the army ...

My conception of the strike of the future is not to strike and go out an starve, but to strike and remain in and take possession of the necessary property of production...
.. Let us sink such differences as nationality, religion, politics, and set our eyes eternally and forever toward the rising star of the industrial republic of labor; remembering that we have left the old behind and have set our faces toward the future. There is no power on earth that can stop men and women who are determined to be free at all hazards. There is no power on earth so great as the power of intellect. It moves the world and it moves the earth...

I hope even now to live to see the day when the first dawn of the new era of labor will have arisen, when capitalism will be a thing of the past, and the new industrial republic, the commonwealth of labor, shall be in operation. I thank you."

It’s time to end campus police once and for all. New piece by Angela Davis & co.:

“The ruthless police response to these protests on our own campuses and by campus police forces is damning. For instance, in response to this summer’s uprisings, UCPD officers, flexing their statewide jurisdiction, carried tear gas cannons down Oakland streets; LAPD turned UCLA’s Jackie Robinson Stadium into a de facto detention facility, where protesters were processed by unmasked officers. Ten years ago, UC Davis campus police infamously teargassed seated protesters demanding an end to tuition increases, and UCSC drew national headlines in February, when — at a cost of $300,000 a day — it responded to a picket by striking graduate workers with a mass of riot gear-clad police. In each of these instances, violent policing forecloses the conversations we need to have about the distribution of public resources and the role of police in public life before we have had a chance to have them.”

The UC and CSU campus police forces we have are not in need of a task force; they are the outcome of task forces. | OPINION

It is great to see the state House thrashed but the reality is the Trump folks were let in, they were supported by the police. The sympathy, and coddling cooperation the state has shown with this authoritarian movement should be obvious by now.

cw: descriptions of domestic violence

Some inspiring examples of alternative justice happening in the Bay Area, and the ways different groups are sidestepping a carceral system that only increases pressure on already marginalized communities.

If involving the police and criminal justice system isn’t a safe, reliable option for most survivors, why is it offered as the main pathway for seeking help? A majority of survivors who called the …
