- Reposted by scott⚡️mccloudpart of why white supremacists & the wider right have worked so hard to falsely frame immigration as an "invasion," & why it has manufactured propaganda about a "great replacement," is to create the pretext for precisely this: an authoritarian government that gets to decide who it gets to disappear

- Reposted by scott⚡️mccloudI am outraged by the unjust arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka earlier this afternoon outside of Delaney Hall in Newark. I am calling for his immediate release by federal law enforcement.
- Reposted by scott⚡️mccloudNEW: Utter fury from Rep. Robert Menendez directed at ICE: “They feel no weight of the law & no restraint. That was shown in broad daylight when they not just arrested the Mayor of Newark but when they put their hands on two members of congress. HOW IS THIS ACCEPTABLE? TO ANYONE IN THIS COUNTRY.” 🔥

- When we launched my graphic novel THE SCULPTOR with an event at NYC's 92nd Street Y in 2015, a group of young cadets from West Point came down with their teacher. They were smart, earnest, and asked great questions. The class had been reading Marjane Satrapi's PERSEPOLIS... The Obama years 🤍

- Reposted by scott⚡️mccloudTrump is trying to stifle free speech. He's attacking the press. He's kidnapping U.S. residents and sending them to foreign prisons without due process. When asked if he would uphold the Constitution, he says "I don't know." If this isn't dictatorship, I don't know what is.
