White people using the term "woke" sound like Pat Boone singing a cover of Little Richard's "tootie fruity".

If Food Stamps only benefited Black people it would not exist.

#Comics #VisualCulture The latest Absolute Batman Annual #1 is an amazing book. I’m enjoying how it pisses off the racist fanboy crowd. 😂

#AbolishPolice GLOBALLY

This happened in the community of #Penha in #RioDeJaneiro. I've visited there several times.This type of police terrorism has been common in #Brazil for generations in the predominantly Black neighborhoods called favelas.There were police squads called "caveiras" (skulls) who killed kids in raids.

Talladega College, Alabama’s first private historically Black college, has sold four of six murals painted for the institution by renowned Black painter Hale Woodruff in order to shore up its $5 million endowment and make payroll. www.artforum.com/news/tallade...

#JackDeJohnette (August 9, 1942 – October 26, 2025)

I picked up this #JackDeJohnette #VinylRecord a few weeks ago. I’d been hunting for one for years. It shows how much of a visionary he was and how much stylistic range his expression had.

This is a short rendition of my soon to be release debut recording. Featuring Mala Waldron, Jay Hoggard, & Bobby Sanabria, and Christopher Dean Sullivan. More snippets & release details between now & mid-Jan 2026! Thanks #ArtisanofthebassicFoundation #EarthMagic #ChristopherDeanSullivanQuartet

Kahil had/has connections to just about any Chicago Jazz musician of note from the 1950s onwards. For instance, he first met Jack DeJohnette in 1967 when he was 14! So many incredible stories. bsky.app/profile/obso...

Donald J. Trump is a very accurate reflection of white America, and not enough of y'all are ready to admit that.

Recorded this day, 1971: The Miles band's European tour arrives in Dietikon for two concerts. The late show finds the band completely transformed, hitting its stride magnificently. How this one was passed over for release is baffling- it's one of the great Miles shows! #jazz #jazzsky #milesdavis

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

D’Angelo born “Michael Eugene Archer” (February 11, 1974 – October 14, 2025) May he rest with the honored ancestors. #D’Angelo

Looking forward to reading this @melvingibbs.bsky.social Melvin Gibbs book. Forthcoming in April 2026.

One must always ask, what is a “conservative” conserving?

Some of the best news this year is that #AssataShakur joined the honored ancestors as a FREE African living in Cuba. Lying FBI Cointelpro fascists lose and Assata WINS!

After years of fundraising, @hospitalityhousesf.bsky.social has purchased the 3-story, mid-Market building housing its fine art studio. For artists like SupremeRivi11, the space provides community — but also art supplies and a gallery, things in short supply for low-income San Franciscans.
