I’m scared for these orgs, though. Apparently they’re also targeting CHIRLA, which led the charge on these protests initially I believe, and other immigrant rights organizations, too. The new red scare is starting up I feel and the fascist hammer of the state will come down on everyone organizing outside the two parties.
The left never really survived the first red scare, but hopefully they picked up some lessons to apply to this one.
This is how I remind myself that I live in a rarified space where, because I have family that worked in China, and colleagues that deal with Chinese suppliers regularly, basically everyone around me has a favourable idea of China and sees the U.S. as having batshit industrial policies.
