For our first post of People’s Independence Month, swipe and read about the accelerated decline of US imperialism, the contradictions surrounding it and the importance of fighting back!

This month, we'll be posting about the decline of US imperialism as we mark the 250th anniversary of this country's founding. While things don't appear great right now, a big-picture perspective reveals that all is not well for this imperialist nightmare state. We will continue to organize, we will continue to fight, and we will win.

Today marks the 57th anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising, where a collection of LGBTQ activists fought back against cops that sought to shut them down in a space that was their own.

Today, as LGBTQ rights are under near-constant attack at the federal level and in states all across the US, we must remember the fighting spirit of Stonewall and channel it into the work we are doing today in the struggle for LGBTQ liberation.

Juneteenth is a day to honor and celebrate the long history of struggle for Black liberation in this country, particularly the defeat of the brutal regime of chattel slavery in the American South. But to borrow a phrase from the great Black communist Harry Haywood, we all know that the shadow of the plantation still looms over the present.

Mass incarceration, police terror, economic deprivation, and attacks on the democratic rights of Black people are still widespread across the U.S. - especially so in the Black nation, also known as the Black Belt South. Just this week, the murder of Black 1-year-old Kohen Wiley by the police in Mississippi speaks to the sheer depravity of this ongoing national oppression.

We need an end to this, and it can’t happen through a few reforms or tweaks here and there - we need to strike at the root of Black oppression, which means to upend monopoly capitalism through revolution. This Juneteenth, build the struggle for Black liberation and socialism!

Remember the 49 lives stolen at Pulse. Honor them by fighting against the system that fuels anti-LGBTQ hatred and violence. 10 years later, our grief must transform to solidarity, protection, and organized struggle for full liberation 🏳️‍🌈

Happy Pride from the Freedom Road Socialist Organization. You may have caught us marching in the Pride MKE parade on Sunday, thanks for chanting with us! 🌈❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
