Did You know the Artist’s Resale Right entitles British creators, and heirs, of artistic works to a royalty payment each time their works are sold by an art market professional?

There's a perverse symbolism in the legacy of White racism sheltering under the bowers of all African Americans have done for this country while patiently waiting for the chance to go back to insisting we are a drain upon their society and that they never needed us at all.

Yves Chaland & Jean-Pierre Dionnet, Le retour du Major, 1984

Cattle arriving at this slaughterhouse in West Germany were treated to the sight of a dazzling chandelier. It came from a nearby factory that didn’t have room to assemble it so they did so in the slaughterhouse. It was ordered by a mysterious Arab ruler and had 532 bulbs. Walter Lindlar, 1962.

“in 1934, Robeson and his wife were on their way to Moscow to meet with Russian Film Director Sergei Eisenstein to collaborate on a film about Toussaint L’Ouverture. During their layover in Berlin, they were stopped by storm troopers at a train station.” www.slowtravelberlin.com/on-the-paul-...

Wir gedenken: Heute vor 25 Jahren, am 27. Juni 2001, wurde Süleyman Taşköprü im Lebensmittelgeschäft seiner Familie in #Hamburg vom #NSU ermordet. Er wurde 31 Jahre alt und hinterließ eine Tochter. Hamburg ist bis heute das einzige NSU-Tatortland ohne Untersuchungsausschuss. #KeinSchlussstrich

When I cover Tucker, I get a muted response. Liberals don't think he's a threat. I get a "nah, they can't follow that guy" response. We made the same mistake with Trump. Here's a short, personal video (less than 2 minutes) explaining why I know Tucker is a threat. youtube.com/shorts/yvagO...

June 25, 1942: the French collaborationist press denounced the Zazous - young people who embraced Black American swing and jazz music and style and fought against fascists in the streets.

We, the Free Des Support Committee, remain steadfastly by Des’s side. We’ve been there from the beginning, & we’re not going anywhere, until he & the other Prairieland defendants go free. Zines are not a crime. Solidarity is not a crime. Free Des Revol. Free them all. freedes.net @free.des.revol

One of today's political prisoners. Cartoonist & zine maker Daniel Rolando Sanchez Estrada wasn't even at the ICE protest. He was accused of "moving" a box of anti-Trump zines THE NEXT DAY. A rightwing judge sentenced him to 30 years! Just for possessing zines. The darkness is descending.

Today we celebrate the birthday of Bill Jaaska, born today in 1961. Jaaska was an American comics artist best known for his work on The New Titans published by DC Comics. #BillJaaska
