Sad reality for so many people in America. This is the “normal” that people want to go back to?

    This is important. Here in Chile, all the revolt and riots started because of a 4 cent rise on the subway fare. People started organizing mass subway fare evasions, cops started to repress them violently and suddenly the whole country blew up, even in parts of the country where there is no subway at all.
    American leftists should capitalize on this rage and not let it go away. It would be beautiful tbh

      Some Black protestors in NYC did capitalize on this in response to similar bullshit in NYC last year, but only briefly. This was before BLM took off again post-covid.

        It was explicitly linked to the struggle in Chile too, no?

          Both struggles had the common element of anger over rising subway fares and police violence.
