"This is just a small expression of support and appreciation to those out in Atlanta holdin’ down the forest against the State.

As police + Fox News play up fears of "outside agitators," as Kamau Franklin explains, #CopCity, which threatens the #Atlanta forest, will be used to train police from across the world in violent counter-insurgency tactics to put down social movements. https://itsgoingdown.org/this-is-america-167/
