BIG KNICKS ENERGY

Chapters 49 and 50 of 'Who Do You Love?' are up. #Sprina #Trina #Trinasvoicematters #Fanfic archiveofourown.org/works/630976...

Only a total ground up systemic restructure will save this country because all its fascism now is the fruit of its systemic structure, inherently white supremacist & capitalist. I see this being achieved as America brings about its own collapse we’re now living through & something new is built.

Let’s Go Knicks!!! 🏀

It was a really stupid idea to host the World Cup here. There were plenty of opportunities to change locations. Yes it would have cost a lot of money but at least non-white players, officials & fans would be allowed to play coach & attend the games. The president of FIFA should be ousted asap.

Chapters 47 and 48 of the #Sprina fanfic "Who Do You Love?" are up. #Trina #Trinasvoicematters #fanfic archiveofourown.org/works/630976...

Flotilla participants are transferred to a hospital in Istanbul after being tortured and beat by Israeli forces following their illegal interception in international waters.

Congratulations to progressive New Deal Dems Rep. Summer Lee and Bob Brooks, and to Democratic Socialist Chris Rabb, for winning their primaries tonight!

Just came across this YSB magazine cover from 1995 and I had to share it. Featured on the cover: Shemar Moore (Malcolm #YR) Senait Ashenafi (Keesha #GH) Keith Hamilton Cobb (Noah #AMC) They all played some great characters. #soapsky #BTG

Marching in Alabama… same bridge, same fight, different century… (H/T @memphisforall )

The fact that a New York mayor marked Nakba Day is historic

Why is the sale of illegal Isr@eli settlements on Palestinian land happening in Brooklyn?

Free Trina from this lame music story. #GH

Dear #GH Curtis is treating Portia like an object, not a person with bodily autonomy. The scene in this preview is gross. Sadly, we have seen women treated this way in other stories on the show.

These current headwriters have turned so many of the fan favorite characters into shells of what they used to be. Trina and Ava are the prime examples of that. Nina, too. #GH

"Palestine is a testing ground for all oppression". Tools of oppression used there are already making their way into Black communities.

Zohran Mamdani has fully balanced New York City’s $12 billion deficit — an uncomfortable reminder to the political establishment that governments can, in fact, function when taxpayer money isn’t funneled toward lobbyists wealthy benefactors

For me, it’s not like Black people sitting back doing nothing & waiting for white folks to fix shit. Because they will never fix shit themselves. That’s the point is they need guidance from the marginalized. And I’m politically active in the Black radical tradition as a Black person with others.

These are actual Freedom Riders, now elderly, sitting together decades after risking their lives to challenge segregation in the American South. On May 4, 1961, they rode buses south to defy illegal segregation in terminal facilities.

One side is like “can we disenfranchise all the Black voters by this weekend” and the other is like gotta follow the rules that govern the rules that control the rulebook

Trina and that emotionless dude they should've never got back together she doesn't need to be with someone who has betrayed her it's a HUGE downgrade to where she was. End this now. Trina had better so she deserves BETTER!! #freetrina #trinasvoicematters

We need to be reminded of this.

Chris Smalls was fired by Amazon for organizing. Bezos had him arrested at the Met Gala. Follow him on Instagram @chris.smalls_ and follow @amazonlaborunion

According to The Intercept, Mayor Zohran Mamdani condemned a Manhattan real estate expo that promoted property sales in Israel and the occupied West Bank, including Gush Etzion settlements considered illegal under international law.

REP. @brotherjones.bsky.social : “This is a power grab… they’re spitting on the graves of all that work, saying we’re going to allow Black political voices & representation to be dismantled across the South- following marching orders of the White House. We’ve gotta fight back.” @GovBillLee

If you're Black and blaming known Black Leftists for the loss of the Voting Rights Act you're doing exactly what MAGA and the lazy Democratic party want you to do. That's to begin infighting and blaming other oppressed people for their own oppression instead of holding those in power accountable.

Chaka Khan, drumming with Rufus.

Unfortunately, there's truth to this.

The lesson we must remember.

Chris Smalls, the worker who took on Amazon and won, reminds us: power doesn't come from wealth, it comes from people who organise and act. Nothing changes if we do nothing. Solidarity is action.

"Today’s decision strikes a blow at the fragile infrastructure of our democracy. It casts aside the precious & noble actions undertaken by countless generations of activists, lawyers, & legislators, who worked to bring [U.S.] closer to becoming a true multi-racial democracy." - @sifill.bsky.social 🧵

WATCH: “This is not a Black & White issues. It’s not a political issue. This is a morality issue.” HBCU South Carolina State students are protesting the choice of MAGA Republican Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette as their commencement speaker. 🤔

We must understand the racist political rhetoric, the erasure and attacks on Black history, the reinstalling of Confederate names and monuments, all go hand-in-hand as the Court and Congress legitimize the taking of political rights and the end of multiracial democracy itself.

The Voting Rights Act is essentially dead and it’s quite possible that we will, like when a similar SCOTUS gutted civil rights at the fall of Reconstruction, see a disappearance of much of the Black congressional representation, especially in the most heavily Black states, which are in the South.

Billions of dollars worth of propaganda was undone and dismantled by the same children that the expansion project of Israel was demonizing and oppressing.

This is too precious! Love this so much. Teaching the youngins consent in a healthy way, from a male role model. This goes far. If boys can simply be taught another way, they won't want to harm!

Do I feel bad for the trauma of people feeding fascism they put up with? Nope. Do I feel sorry for congresspeople traumatized by the violence of Jan 6, some of whom were literally held captive at risk of their lives, when they didn't even care enough to hold him accountable to keep us from this? No.

Eugène Brouillard (1870 - 1950) Trees on the edge of a path I love paintings of trees. From Art Infinitus

Recreation is not a waste. Reading creative work is productive recreation. Recreation is vital to your humanity, & your capitalist mindset has attempted to steal this from you. You can only be recreational problematically.

Remembering Amal Khalil

This painting is titled "Apple Tree I" (also known as Apfelbaum I), created by the Austrian Symbolist painter Gustav Klimt in 1912.

The deed theft happening to Black homeowners in NYC is being done by the same people stealing homes and selling illegal properties in Palestine.

“In my soul, I could not let that take place. I could not see a family, a Black family within Bed-Stuy, removed from a home."

Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil was murdered today in the village of Al-Tayri in the south of Lebanon after an Israeli airstrike targeted her. Rescuers tried to reach her after she was trapped under the rubble, but Israeli fired live ammunition towards the ambulance, preventing access to the site.
