As Anastasio died in the hospital in 2010, the border police claimed he had resisted them violently at the border, and they were forced to taser him. However, his family discovered obvious marks of beatings and abuse on his body.
Now, two years later, audio and video tapes have surfaced of this immigrant worker pleading for his life as a swarm of border police brutalized him. Brace yourself.
It is infuriating and horrifying. This a murder by official brutality that is impossible to justify, or forgive.

PermalinkI only learned of this last night and it haunts me. I signed a petition on presente.org but there has to be something more we can do. I am so ashamed of my country. We tell ourselves and the whole world how great we are and yet see the evil we are capable of using against others. It makes me sick. Please tell us how we can help.

Kasama is a communist project for the forcible overthrow and transformation of all existing social conditions. We are open to learning, unafraid to admit our own uncertainties. We will not shrink from what we do know: the solutions cannot be found within the current world order or the choices it provides. We are for revolution. We seek to find the forms of organization and action for the people most dispossessed by this system to free themselves and all humanity.
To take this road, we need a fearless, open-eyed debate, discussion and engagement. We need fresh analyses of the rapid changes shaping the world around us. We need to sum up a century of revolutionary strategies and attempts, victories and defeats – instead of the conventional wisdom and facile verdicts that paralyze our movements. We need to re-imagine a radical politics that can take life among people and move mountains.
Dig in.
