excerpt from email.


this shit -

"She said that I am seeing the world through the eyes of a twenty year old .. that I'll 'see one day' when our country becomes a third world country."

infuriates me. its as if immigrants or other people, other workers are destroying the benefits that living in the US offers. its as if we, the college student radicals or progressives, are tearing down things that benefit humanity. its as if people think that we are actively engaged in some conspiracy to democratize poverty(gioconda belli) not democratize access or improve everyones living, working and loving conditions.

when she says stuff like that, when people say stuff like that, its so clear that they arent thinking. arent thinking of the governments and the corporations that are democratizing poverty by concentrating wealth and power in their few dirty hands. its that bullshit, its the people versus people bullshit that is killing us. that is seperating us and keeping us from being strong, its that fucking bullshit that is turning the US into a thirld world country not the people who are coming here to live and work and love. its wars and greed, not labor and love that are changing our reality for the worse. its government cuts to state funds that makes your mom lose her jobs, its lack of access to health care that is ruining your moms health not immigrants, not people but governments and employers.

aye and im here in solidarity with everyone marching this weekend for peace and freedom in the US and worldwide.
