#AssataShakur: "Any Community seriously concerned with its own Freedom has to be concerned about other people's Freedom… Imperialism is an international system of exploitation, and we as revolutionaries need to be internationalists to defeat it."

Since my appearance on The Reading Circle with Marc Medley, the situation in #Kakuma has escalated. The deeper story lies in the everyday struggles of #refugees and how they are building a future. Thanks to partners AReL, @bnevol.com @uwpbooks.bsky.social #BlackSky www.linkedin.com/posts/jbaske...

Today was salve for a tender and weary heart. I’m grateful to have spent it alongside so many inspiring people ❤️‍🩹 . #denver #protest #fiftyfiftyone

Normalize #resistance. While #Trump & #Elon are a problem, they are not THE problem. THE problem is a system that produces them, predates them, & survives them. Resist as a way of life. Tell friends where it's going down & share signs, like these…(Got signs? Share yours too) #50501 #Capitalism #DC

Start early. Never suppress the warrior spirit. #Anger is natural—a useful reflex. But transforming it into action? That is a skill. And for a #warrior, it is a way of life. Video Credit: MaiStoryBook youtube.com/@maistoryboo... #YoungActivists #LittleWarriors #BannedBooks #Books #Activism #Teach

The Business of Reconstruction: Who Profits from Destruction? Rebuilding is big business. After the destruction, #reconstruction becomes an industry where the same governments and contractors responsible for devastation often position themselves as the architects of recovery. #FreePalestine #Gaza

As MAGA & BB salivate over plans of #EthnicCleansing #Palestinians, never forget #Biden and the #DemocraticParty ushered in this maniac. The #Izzy lobby funds 80% of #Congress (BOTH PARTIES). #Democrats should have resisted, but who funds you runs you, so instead, they anointed him. #FreePalestine

Like reading, #drawing transcends boundaries, but instead of absorbing, you create—giving form to what lies within the mind’s depths, shaping thought into substance. Few experiences bring me greater joy or hold more meaning than these moments of pure, unbound expression. #Shogun #Art #BlackArtist

Video Outtake - “Internship In Action” Program by AReL and @bnevol.com My grand-niece & nephew love meeting their big #African siblings from the #DRC #Congo & #SouthSudan —a reminder that opportunity should have no borders. Bridging the #DigitalDivide technically & spiritually. #Africa #BlackSky

What is happening in the #DRC is heartbreaking and infuriating. Why should you care? Because there are no smartphones without the #BloodMinerals exploited out of #Congo used to power most the #technology we all conveniently enjoy. #FreeCongo #DRC #Goma #Africa #PanAfrica #AfricaUnite #BlackSky

The new @uwpbooks.bsky.social website is live! Modern & packed with features: * #Ecommerce with #Shopify Integration * #BlackScholar essays & journals * Free resources, merch, e-catalogs & more Built by @bnevol.bsky.social + AReL. Led by @zehnroot.bsky.social #BlackTech #BlackSky #WebDesign

#PatriceLumumba before his assassination on this day, Jan 17th, 1961 “The day will come when history will speak. But it will not be the history which will be taught in Brussels, Paris, Washington or the United Nations.” #FreeCongo #AfricaUnite #DRC #Congo #Africa #Decolonize #Neocolonialism

GAME CHANGERS! UWP & Bnevol are a game-changing collaboration! This #partnership is breaking barriers, setting new standards, and amplifying the human-BEINGness of business, that forged this #alliance across oceans with #AReLRefugeeLife. @zehnroot.bsky.social #blacktech youtu.be/Y-2TU4scG58?...

Former U.S. #President Jimmy Carter passed away on Dec 29th (2024). Almost two decades after the publication of his book, the crimes and atrocities exposed have endured multiple U.S. administrations, both Republican and Democratic upholding an apartheid state and executing a G'cide #FreePalestine

The problem with #sustainability - We must move beyond it and towards #regenerative solutions in fragile environments where ecosystems have been decimated, particularly from exploitation (like in #Africa). Ask, how does this solution recognize and heal existing harms? bnevol.com/blog/climate...

😡 Increasing the efficiency of exploitation of the #DRC is NOT innovation or anything to celebrate. I write about the layers of #Congo exploitation by the West and global North in this article: bnevol.com/they-come-fo... #FreeCongo #Africa @asssociatedpress.bsky.social apnews.com/article/bide...

"Internship in Action" Open Class Session Preview # 53 I lead a program, co-developed by @bnevol.bsky.social and AReL, that is a truly rare year-round initiative where #African #refugee students gain hands-on experience in real-world Web Development projects. Watch: youtu.be/Crlr34MBO7k?...

🧐 Knowledge not passed down is #knowledge lost. The holiday called #Thanksgiving is inseparable from a violent #colonial history on #TurtleIsland (now America). Do what you will on this day, but do so in truth, not a lie. #EachOneTeachOne #Thanksgiving2024 #IndigenousPeople #NativeAmerican

I am an #anticapitalist. #Capitalism is #Neocolonialism - Queue exhibit A - #AI in #Africa Critical discourse around AI often focuses on energy consumption and biases affecting end users. Yet there’s another underexplored facet of AI — the “humans-in-the-loop.” Full video: youtu.be/qZS50KXjAX0
