Happy Sunday! I hope you ate all the cookies your heart desired this week. I know I did. On to the news…..
The News
The House Democrats passed the George Floyd Act, a police reform bill that will do nothing to prevent police murdering Black people in the future, but will give the police $750 million to investigate and find themselves innocent of murder.
How should you feel about this news?
You should accept that Democrats are trash and proceed to tell all your family members and friends the same.
Police reform is one of those oxymorons like clean coal, or comfortable jeans.
It’s meant to trick us into accepting things that aren’t possible so rich people can keep getting richer. Police reform is like trying to remove the stench of a dead rat from your apartment by spraying your apartment with deodorizing spray, while the dead rat is still behind the fridge: stupid and inconsequential. The police can’t be reformed because their purpose is to monitor a racial underclass in order to maintain the racial hierarchy in America. That’s why they kill and harass us; it’s not a mistake, it’s a part of their job. The only way to end police violence is to abolish the police.
Everyone who has a job knows that if you don’t do what your employer wants you to do, you get fired.
For example, when I used to work at Banana Republic, I got paid to fold clothes. Now if I started throwing around the clothes that I folded, I would get fired. But if I were throwing clothes on the floor and I continued to get paid, then I’m getting paid to throw clothes on the floor. If it takes a bunch of customers screaming at my manager to get me to just throw less clothes on the floor, my manager is acknowledging that she pays me to throw clothes on the floor.
So now I go back to why Democrats are trash.
Democrats know police reform doesn’t work, they are not as clueless as they try to make you think. Oh no, they are playing us and unfortunately lots of people fall for this, instead of realizing that the Democrats are Batman. They are disguised as heroes, but they are really helping the police maintain an exploitative system so that they can go back to their fancy mansions. Just like Batman, the Democrats have fooled many people into thinking they are heroes instead of villains and that’s why Democrats are trash.
And this brings us to this week in petty activism.
This week in petty activism we are going to call out the Democratic Party for being trash. Post this image of the Democrats are garbage paired with why you think the Democrats are trash. For example: Democrats are trash because they want to give the police $750M under the George Floyd Act after we said defund the police.
That’s it for the news but there’s a little more…
To learn more about police abolition, I’m just now picking up Who Do You Serve, Who Do You Protect? Police Violence and Resistance in the United Stated, a collection of essays forwarded by Alicia Garza. I previously read, The End of Policing by Alex Vitale which is pretty much a rundown of how a lot of activities became crimes to criminalize Black, indigenous, and people of color who were doing them.
What do instead of calling the police
A Black anarchist you should know, Lucy Parsons
My dream is to expand the Feel the News show beyond TikTok and create an anarchist late night show to make more sketches like this. If you’d like to support me in creating a late night comedy show for anarchists, become a patron.
