(San Francisco, Aug 8) - As a tin pot would-be emperor attempts to put his name on public buildings, currency, passports and spends hundreds of billions on wars of aggression and self glorifying monuments, he is monetizing the presidency and looting the nation’s wealth.

But it is a lot worse that that. He is committing crimes against humanity, perpetrating ethnic cleansing against those not of northern European ancestry. If trials like the post WW2 Nuremberg were held today he would be in the dock subject to conviction and hanging.

Immigrants throughout the country are afraid to go outside. Children coming home from school risk the trauma of discovering their parents deported. People are routinely grabbed where they work. Even air travel risks arrest at airports.

Those who have been in the country for decades are taken, placed in horrific detention centers and then summarily sent to foreign countries.

But the racist, Nazi inspired administration cannot do this without the complicity from centers of corporate power profiting from the crimes. Enter BlackRock, investing in private prisons operators like CoreCivic and GEO Group. They also invest in spy tech companies like Palantir and General Dynamics.

Some, attempting to respect fundamental decency and respect for human right that this country is supposed to be about demonstrated at BlackRock’s Howard Street headquarters.

Speakers connected the dots and linked these issues to the struggle for a national and international united front against fascism.

It was a small action but helpfully given prominence by an equal number of police both in front the building and at the rear entrance.
