We were literally 50 ft from the car of our member when CPD dragged a person off their bike then began pushing and beating us. They attacked us after we as a city showed up in the thousands honoring Adam. CPD are monsters. They are craven. They exist to enact nothing but violence

Cell phone video shows Kenosha Wisconsin police officers in an military vehicle telling armed White militia members they "appreciate them being there" and giving them bottled water; while in the background cops can be heard ordering protestors to disperse.

Stay in the streets! The system is throwing every diversionary and de-mobilizing tactic at us. We are fighting to end policing and prisons as a system which nececistates fighting white supremacist capitalist heteropatriarchial imperialism. Vet your comrades and stay focused.

We've heard @chicagosmayor will be talking with @joebiden tonight at the DNCC on 'racial justice' We're excited to hear her explain to the architect of mass incarceration why violating the consent decree, segregating the city, and expanding policing is good for racial justice.
