Ooooh this is my first time hearing about this book and I'm def adding it to my Reparations collection. I'd never heard of Queen Mother Moore until I saw the documentary "Nationtime" a few years ago about the National Black Political Convention in 1972. Need to find it on streaming and rewatch.

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months" China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

Reading Audley Moore's story has me thinking again of the responsibility we have to our children in times like this. @drashleydfarmer.bsky.social This is priceless reading. Order here: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/745621...

Few people care about this, I know. It's just another way that Black people are USED to grow the prison industrial complex by claiming that we do mainly want more cops. No nuance ever. Just more cops.

“She tasked the Universal Association of Ethiopian Women, her organizing home which until then had largely been advocating for Black men on death row, with researching historical claims to reparations for Black Americans.”
