The Black Panthers still in prison: after 46 years, will they ever be set free?

Over two years, Ed Pilkington has interviewed eight African American radicals imprisoned since the 1970s. Will they ever be freed?

Let’s be honest. My generation will not have social security or Medicare. The collapse of the tax state & rise of the debt state fosters parasitic governance. When the bill comes, it’s always paid by looting the poor to transfer wealth to the richest #TaxBillScam

”The Covid-19 economic crisis has led cities and states to make drastic budget cuts to education, youth programs, arts and culture, parks, libraries, housing services and more. But police budgets have grown or gone largely untouched – until pressure from protests this week”
