The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

Support for Javier Milei’s chaotic regime is explained by two factors. 1. Argentina is a test case for right wing, hostile political and economic reordering around a new level extreme disregard for the well-being of a national population for short run profit. 2. Milei booted China from rare earths.

in the US we will have to reckon with the costs of imperial chauvinism forwarded by both parties and all mainstream institutions that hid from us that China ended poverty while we have been immiserated, that Cuba has better longevity despite embargo, and that our interests are not the capitalists’.

This is a #MustRead @npr.org article. It's from a trusted source & it's absolutely terrifying.

This is yet another example of how you beat the far right. By beating them, not trying to be them. By having your own agenda, not aping theirs. With courage and conviction - and humour - not fear and timidity.

Barrack Obama has not congratulated Zohran Mamdani on his Facebook Page but he has offered his condolences to Dick Cheney’s family, that oughta tell you everything you need to know about what this overseer values in his twilight years

I’m excited we are hosting Marisa Solomon for our geography speaker series.

May hell grow new lows with the deposition of Dick!

42 million face hunger, ICE build up and militarization are moving to terrorize Black and brown immigrants, the orange is attempting to end open speech, our collective resources are being marshaled for war in places most people can’t identify on maps. We must become ungovernable.

Get into this! Fan, @jtroane.bsky.social, have you seen this?

We're seeing in real time that many people are already in hell in that they carry hell with them wherever they go. Those making fun of people on SNAP are already in hell.

The US, UK, and the West, are supporting UAE. UAE is supporting the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The RSF is committing genocide in El Fasher, Sudan. End the genocide now!

Who can’t see the so called trade truce is the orange walking hat in hand , tip toeing around Xi, the obvious power holder? All this bravado and bluster about Venezuela and now Nigeria is cover for waning US might and an attempt to reclaim imperial dominance as it falters. #nowar

Keep your filthy orange mitts off of Venezuela and Nigeria.

The US, the UK and the West have blood on their hands in Sudan. They have not pressured the UAE to stop supporting what every expert saw coming with the RSF genocide in Sudan. It is because the UAE is a big investor in the West. Blood money. Genocide money. End the genocide now!!

Being historically illiterate costs us a lot.

ICE is a quickly consolidating secret and private police force that is already engaged in right wing style terror. If we allow it to continue, it will serve as the necessary force for the obvious third term push and the consolidation of a full fascist coup at hand. Abolish ICE.

As you can see from my already worn proof copy I had the delightful chance to read Ashley Farmer’s significant contribution in the biography of Audley Queen Mother Moore. This book is thoroughly researched and well executed. could serve as a textbook in Africana 20th century thought and movements

The surplusing of population naturalized by antiblackness under Keynesianism and neoliberalism has been perversely democratized. These cuts at Amazon and all the other companies illustrates the vision of the tech oligarchs and the wider fascist right, accumulation without laborer/ laborer.

Where is the world while the RSF is committing genocide in El Fasher, Sudan?

LaShawn Harris provides a crystal clear profile of the heinous police murder of Eleanor Bumpurs,the activism her death inspired, and ultimately the limits of “police reforms.” I can’t wait to dig into the book! theconversation.com/more-than-40...

The way democrats and the right treating Mamdani you would think democratic socialism was revolutionary communism. Lord help them if they get wind of actual revolutionary thought.

All eyes on Al Fashir, Sudan. The RSF has more than 100,000 civilians trapped and is engaging in assassinations and mass killings by ethnicity.

With this much open corruption, we cannot reasonably expect that these people plan to risk prison with an actual election. We will have to become ungovernable.

My blues writing exercise asking students to research a contemporary problem and write lyrics never fails to bring out at least one student who is a musician and performer. Woah. And he went first and the rest of them were shook. 💜

The state is running military drills in the Caribbean yet can’t figure out keeping trains functional on time and on the tracks or passenger planes from collisions and near misses everyday. Rounding up immigrants and building boom prisons in weeks but won’t house the dehoused.

🙏🏽 Jamaica

the needs of the anxious comfortable white male doing midcentury working class drag are at the very bottom of my list right now

The consolidation of king like power in the US is part reactionary response to internal social justice and large part reactionary response to China as the growing hegemonic alternative. The US right sees installing autocracy as a way to tame internal contradiction and to face Xi.

Imagine believing the danger is the border and not the regime.

Map below, based on data provided by the U.S. Geological Survey, shows known deposits of rare earth elements in Latin America and the Caribbean. |

Contextualizing the expansion of extralegal murders by the US in Latin America is necessary. The geopolitical flexing is tied to heating the warlike competition with China over global hegemony in the projected new economy. The return to craven open imperialism is centrally about minerals.

This building a golden ballroom while people go hungry when snap run out going to bring the us’s everyday contradictions to a symbolic tipping point. These fascists keep it up, they going be at the guillotine.

It’s WILD to see the woman who got my father expelled permanently from school after integration in Virginia when he kicked her in the ass for calling him the n word run for RE-ELECTION to the school board of my community. I’ll let you guess what big orange fool she sounds like.

Kada Scott. May her family find some peace. How awful.

Lord I haven’t seen these intro students since D’Angelo. 😭

this made me laugh so hard.

Keep your filthy orange mitts off Venezuela.
