“UP AGAINST DE WALL,
MUTHAFUCKAS—BREAK YO SEFS!!”

Overcrowded jail, prison and immigration detention facilities force people together in close quarters without access to proper hygiene or medical care.
With 2.3 million people in the United States in prison or jail on any given day, an outbreak in these facilities poses a threat to the entire country.
This policy is unconscionable and flagrantly against international law. It is imperative that the U.S. lift these immoral and illegal sanctions.
From welfare queens and super predators to “Bernie brothers,” the democratic establishment is never short of boogeymen.
We have traded our interests in for “electability” and “anybody but Trump.”
