As Trump and "border czar" Tom Homan's fascist mass deportations loom, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors just instituted a new sanctuary policy to stop jails from working with ICE. In response, San Diego County Sheriff Kelly Martinez said her office won't comply with this. In other words, she is vowing to collaborate with fascism! And this puts her openly in violation of California state law SB 54, which states that sheriffs and police can cooperate with immigration agents “only if doing so would not violate any federal, state, or local law or local policy.”
THE REVCOM CORPS For The Emancipation Of Humanity, Los Angeles, drove down to the San Diego County Sheriff's office, and together with a couple of people from San Diego, delivered this message:
ROUND UP THE SHERIFFS, NOT THE IMMIGRANTS!
IN THE NAME OF HUMANITY, WE REFUSE TO ACCEPT A FASCIST AMERICA!
THIS WHOLE SYSTEM IS ROTTEN AND ILLEGITIMATE—WE NEED AND WE DEMAND: A WHOLE NEW WAY TO LIVE, A FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT SYSTEM!
As Bob Avakian says in his @BobAvakianOfficial social media message REVOLUTION #111, “We revcoms are serious—and all decent people need to be serious—about actually defeating this Trump/MAGA fascism.” And he goes on to say:
[T]his is not a time for demoralization and despair. It is not a time for accepting this Trump/MAGA fascism as “legitimate,” and staying within the confines of “how things work” under this system, as Democratic Party heads and other “mainstream” ruling class representatives are urging people to do. It is not a time for turning inward and attempting to “take care of self” as the juggernaut of Trump/MAGA fascism gains momentum and crushes masses of people. This is a time for reaching out to all the others who feel the same outrage at Trump/MAGA fascism—a time for collective action and self-sacrificing struggle for the greater good: the greater good of defeating this fascism.
So, what does defeating this fascism actually mean—how can this actually happen? It means building and mobilizing a truly broad and determined mass movement—uniting all who can be united, in rapidly and continually growing numbers, all over the country—aiming to become so massive and powerful that it creates a profound political crisis, such that Trump cannot govern the country and implement his fascist program.
