30 for 30: Protest Songs Day 10. Fuck tha Police - NWA 1988

Most of these I have posted little commentary. But, the linked video had the "Parental Advisory" on the album cover and whoa that takes me back. For us lost youth of the 80's groups like Run-DMC, NWA and the 2 Live Crew were hugely influential. The explicit language, the directness, the underlying message, and yes the INEVITABLE parental headwinds with the "new" attitude we were sporting... oh and our musical tastes". Decades later and when my son really got into rap and hip hop, I played a few of my 12" singles and expected a general mocking of my dated music. What ensued was my son's explanation of how the present day Hip Hop/Rap community would NEVER have evolved without these groups. How courageous to even bring this music to the masses in the 'Just Say No" era. #prouddad

“Unaware or not, Fox News is copy-pasting prison camp propaganda straight out of the 3rd Reich playbook.

Take a moment to read up on the Theresienstadt Ghetto, if you'd like to see how "beautifying" prison camps for propaganda has a dark history⬇️

I don’t always agree with Kasparov, but he’s spot on, revealing Fox News’ heinous propaganda & gaslighting of 3rd C #deportations.

In 1776, drafting the DOI, Jefferson zeroed in on an abusive & malleable justice system. He accused the king of depriving colonists of trial by jury & for “transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences.”

Trump’s IMM agenda reflects modern shades of these notorious offenses:🚨condemning many 1000s—of #immigrants TO TORTURE in other Cs w/o #dueprocess gtd by the CON...

We must work to stop #detention & deportations of IMMs.

Mother JonesTrump is now free to send immigrants to "third countries"Just as the Founding Fathers intended.

Hitleresque: #Deportations to foreign hellholes like SLV & S Sudan are designed to produce terror among brown-skinned IMMs (+Trump's deals w 3rd Cs enrich him).

"Disappearances” are one of the main weapons being used by #ICE to spread terror in IMM comms:

“The Trump admin has used a pattern of disappearances to detain, remove, & expel ppl to 3rd Cs, no removal proceedings conducted or fear screenings *an effort to subvert #dueprocess +✔️s & ⚖️s central to the CON.“

On may 4th 2025 on meet the press: "Don't you need to uphold the Constitution of the United States, Mr. President?" Welker asked.
"I don't know," Trump answered
"Your secretary of state says everyone who's here, citizens and noncitizens, deserve due process," Welker pressed. "Do you agree, Mr. President?"
“I don’t know” replied Trump “I’m not a lawyer”
Search it for yourself…….

The author of this article "visited four continents to write a global history of concentration camps. This facility’s purpose fits the classic model: mass civilian detention without real trials targeting vulnerable groups for political gain based on ethnicity, race, religion or political affiliation rather than for crimes committed. And its existence points to serious dangers ahead for the country."

Independence Day 2025

Now a day of mourning for all that was good about an aspiring democratic republic with representative government & things like #rights, #education, #truth, a #Constitution which mattered & which assured basic rights, w/ a judicial system which was there for #justice and #DueProcess, & a system of taxation which was approximately fair.

All gone, along with #FreeSpeech & #media. Money leeched from the poor, sick, uneducated... for billionaires & ICE - a wall, & SS/Gestapo.

Justice #ElenaKagan, who dissented previously, this time issued a concurring opinion. “I do not see how a district court can compel compliance with an order that this court has stayed,” she wrote.

Thur’s order was the latest in a series of rulings related to #immigration decided by the justices in summary fashion on what critics call the court’s shadow docket.

Some early decisions insisted on #DueProcess for immigrants before they are deported.

Masked thugs with no identification are snatching minorities off the street & tossing them in #ConcentrationCamps without benefit of #DueProcess.

They LAUGH & delight in their cruelty. Their supporters LIKE the cruelty.

They hand power to the wealthy who then decimate the lives of the poor in the name of patriotism.

They've bombed countries that DID NOT attack them.

Extended arm "Roman Salutes" are dismissed as a show of love.

I'm describing Hitler's #ThirdReich. Who did you think I meant?🤔

Continued thread

Rep #HakeemJeffries has highlighted the case of a 2-year-old #US #citizen known as “VML” who was detained with her mother & sister, who both lacked legal status to be in the United States, at a routine #immigration check-in in New Orleans & subsequently deported to Honduras with no meaningful #DueProcess.

As a #UScitizen “deported” to Honduras, #VML is now effectively stateless.
