This Is America #153: Mobile Home Residents Fight Evictions in Upstate New York; Analysis of Charlottesville & Rittenhouse Trials

Welcome, to This Is America, November 20th, 2021.

On this episode, first we speak with the resident of a mobile home park in upstate New York, about how they are organizing to push back against a landlord who is trying to evict them.

From slave patrols to bounties for murdered Natives, from the KKK to Kyle Rittenhouse, white vigilantism, both in the form of the State calling on its defenders to act on its behalf + those taking matters into their own hands, lies at the heart of the American project. A thread. pic.twitter.com/IxVQdEf5FR

We then switch gears and are joined with special guest Marcela, from Feel the News, as we discuss the ongoing trials of white vigilantes and white nationalists in Charlottesville, Kenosha, and Georgia. We analyze and unpack these trials, talking about the role of far-Right auxiliary violence and vigilantism within the broader American project and the State’s reaction to Black liberation struggles.
