Is Don’t Boo…Revolt! left or right?
Bree Newsome (posting as "Don't Boo…Revolt!") is an activist, filmmaker, and speaker on the abolitionist left — she has argued that policing, prisons, and the criminal-justice system should be abolished entirely, a position she laid out publicly as early as a 2021 podcast discussion of Colin Kaepernick's Abolition for the People, an essay collection she also contributed to. She became nationally known on June 27, 2015, when she climbed the flagpole at the South Carolina statehouse and removed the Confederate flag after the Charleston church shooting, and has since worked on housing rights and racial-justice causes. She sits well to the left of the Democratic Party and critiques it from that flank: she expressed solidarity with Palestinians during the Gaza war and described Joe Biden as a dictator, and the display name on her X account itself signals a preference for revolt over electoral politics. Her commentary today runs through X and public speaking rather than any party or outlet affiliation.
