"No one has ever been charged or prosecuted for the killing of Patrice Lumumba, but a lot of people have been considered responsible for it." Excellent write up by Professor Foluke Adebisi. Pair it with Césaire's *A Season in the Congo* (1966).

In 1943, Norwegian Nobel laureate Knut Hamsun gave his to Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels as a sign of his open admiration for Adolf Hitler. 🏆

ICE/CBP is following school busses now. My husband (a school bus driver) was just in an urgent all-hands meeting about it this afternoon.

today in minneapolis many people will both protest and go to a sledding party where we crash huge artistic homemade cardboard sleds down a giant hill as a crowd cheers on a previous sled:

All you need to know about the Democratic party: Neither Obama, Harris, nor Biden made public comment on Renee Good's murder. All three quickly offered thoughts and prayers on Charlie Kirk's murder.

Greenland gonna have some pro-democracy protests with a suspiciously high number of automatic weapons and a penchant for burning down places of worship soon?

there's a reason a lot of neocons came out of trot circles!

Here's to a real one; the last honest U.S. diplomat: johnhelmer.net/the-last-hon...

The entire modern conservative project exists to undo the Warren Court and bring back Jim Crow. Everything else is a means to that end. And in their spaces they've never been particularly subtle or quiet about it.

Charlie Kirk is still dead, professors that bad mouthed him are getting paid off and their jobs back, and his wife has already moved on and is now failing hard to turn his death and sparkly pants into popularity that pays out. There are still good things happening

Good morning .. What Level of Fascism are we at when Lambchop is issuing guides to resisting fascism while ranking Senators are talking about “training” www.tiktok.com/t/ZThrNU3sD/

Abolish ICE. A little journal comic from South Minneapolis. #iceoutmpls #iceoutcomics #iceoutofmpls

Only billionaire propaganda can make people believe that the most hated leaders in their country's history, known for lying and doing things against their interest, are correct on war on Russian. Manufactured Russophobia (And sinophibia, islamiphobia, etc.) is a very VERY powerful drugs.

The only member of Trump's family to fight in World War II, his first cousin Ernst Christ, was a card-carrying member of the NSDAP who died in the service of his Führer at the battle of Stalingrad.

History and common sense now show that my post about lobbing grenades at every U.S. university professor of foreign policy studies and every so called "U.S. diplomat" was the only thing that would have brought us a better world by now.

This post here, officer! He dug up the corpse and icepicked it to death all over again!

Somebody in American government once "got it.'

Despite the "fishy" source, this is welcome news that these uniformed peacekeepers have arrived to defend Greenland.

Anything short of a wholehearted "fuck literally all of this, we are going to go Nuremburg on these freaks and then drain Elon dry to fund fixing this stuff" will lose, badly. And there's like zero chance the dems will even think to say that.

Critical support for anti-stancilism

Hey, fellow kids! Cool new music video just dropped: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zGf...

Word.

Heba Muraisi is in critical condition on day 72 of her hunger strike. She struggling to breathe and suffering uncontrollable muscle spasms. Kamran Ahmed is on day 65. He is experiencing shrinkage to the muscle of his heart and has been diagnosed with bradycardia.

The best possible outcome would have been someone throwing a grenade (or better yet a dozen grenades) into the room where I and my graduate class were being taught by a former Presidential National Security Advisor.

The relationship between the cops and capitalists: they are allies in a Right Wing coalition. Liberals (Democrats) seek to prove to capitalists that they will protect the cop + capitalist coalition.

Today is a great reminder that we can never be too ready.

So the wind is really bad in Gaza it’s destroying tents and knocking over buildings. If you are looking to help someone today is a good day to do it ❤️

everyone knew the DHS smelled rotten the moment it rolled off the line. even 20+ years ago the word “homeland” was pungently fascist.

I don’t consume U.S. empire broadcasts as truth. They’re propaganda layered on misinformation, stacked on lies. I recognized that decades ago and stopped treating its broadcasts as credible. #ImperialPropaganda #ManufacturedConsent

Standard operating procedure for "Western" reporting:

Sadly saying this, as an ex-banjo owner in remission, it's the only proper way to use a banjo:

So true... Like 80 per of this platform Each fucking day

I reported the ICE account for "Human Trafficking" and blocked their fascist account.

Banning orphan grinding would stand in the way of innovation and economic growth at a perilous time for our country. Therefore proposing a voluntary code of conduct for orphan grinding companies to encourage humane and sustainable orphan-grinding best practices 👍

The orphan grinder operators need better training

Report this to blacksky's moderation as antiblack hate speech as I did, folks.

"Buehler ... Buehler?" ...

We used to do real science
