When you think of slave rebellions, what comes to mind? Maybe the Stono Rebellion? Nat Turner? Denmark Vesey? Gabriel Prosser? What about Charles Deslondes? He was the leader of the German Coast Uprising, the largest slave revolt in US history The forgotten one 215 years ago today in Louisiana

"If they don't give you a seat at the table, bring a folding chair." "if you're silent about your pain, they'll kill you & say you enjoyed it." "I am the dream & the hope of the slave. I rise. I rise. I rise." "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that" -general American quotes

this is wild. this is why we gatekeep. It's literally a survival mechanism

I....was hoping to find this discourse somewhere. #SayHerName was created for a very specific reason. And the fast that it's been bastardized and people cant see or understand how pretty much proves the necessity of its creation in the first place

You say, "this is my second cousin once removed?" Or you say "this my third cousin?" Which quite frankly still simply means.....this my cousin?

Man… 🥹🥹

Sorry gang, if I have some babies before this country ends, im taking dem chirren to see dat mouse 💀😭

Timeline cleanse: I dare you not to go, "awww 🥹"

Did you know that today is Christmas? Particularly in places like Ethiopia who has historically remained uncolonized and rejected Pope Gregory's calendar in 1582? the "original" Christian church - the Coptic church - celebrates Xmas today Not December 25th

Lemme leaf through this strange little booklet on my shelf and see if I can find something useful 🤔

Ahhhh fk! 🤦🏾‍♂️ this what they got rid of the FreeFile for?!

Ilhan Omar is the hijab wearing member of "the Squad". From Africa. Woman. Outspoken. Openly against Trump. Minnesota became VP Harris' tool against a second Trump presidency High voter turnout. Minnesota votes blue. Shrinking white population

This is exactly like when they say: "the system is broken." or "This is not who we are". ************* Which then forces us to say: "the system is working as intended." and "This is who we've always been." Two societies, one black, one white, separate and unequal - Kerner Commission

the Minneapolis victim was White. ************************* Give me liberty or.... cmon, you know the rest. "Sic semper tyrannis!" right?

White people of Minneapolis: please riot

if anyone.... ANYONE pulls on my door handle, at best im driving off. I dont care who it is. Next recourse im steppin out the car...with all its implications And 2A if necessary. Dont fkin pull on my door handle

this is how you properly end a press conference. Take notes

five years later, and they still dont get that Minneapolis will get shit poppin

Zora Neale Hurston - Anthropologist & writer best known for "Their Eyes Were Watching God" - was born 134 years ago today Dr Rayford Logan - historian, teacher, Pan-Africanist, and best known for his work on post-Reconstruction America and "the nadir" as a concept - was born 129 years ago today

Is there such thing as "international law?" Like....I know on paper it is, but.. is there "really" such thing as international law? it seems to only apply to African countries. which isn't "international." Maybe "international minus European derived countries."

In honor of Blu Ivy's 13th birthday tomorrow, I'd like to present my favorite pic of her. Because this is how I be looking at people every day especially my coworkers

Never forget: Domestic terrorist Ashli Babbit's mother literally said on camera that Michael Byrd should be lynched

Mamie Till only passed 23 years ago today. Same age as my grandma 🙏🏾

January 6th was the very first time in history that I rooted for police brutality. Excuse me officer: I was promised that when the looting starts, the shooting starts!

In honor of the Bodega Boys legacy and the anniversary of January 6th, I feel it necessary to listen to their immediate post-January 6 episode. Episode 231: The Bloud #TheArt 🎨 #MyGutsHurt #brolic 💪🏾

I think all the time about how much the culture has suffered over the years because of this breakup 😭

HOLLERING

Hella Strong... Every now and then I randomly shout out one of Desus and MERO's AKAs. 🙃

I miss the art.....the Brand was Brolic

Strong but no impenetrable. Lawd, now I'm sad all over again

Desus is hilarious, and it just reinforces my anger that Bodega Boys aren't a thing anymore The brand was strong

Something is happening again in Venezuela

THIS right here!

A key part of genocidal white supremacy is it will freely alternate between "that never happened" when accountability is at stake and "we'll do it again" when gleefully threatening people. Just journalism should not let history die, which is why it's targeted always. bsky.app/profile/dyts...

The remains of Sarah Carrier's house, where two Black and two White people were killed in Rosewood, Florida in January 1923

a lot of people have never heard of the Tulsa Race Massacre but none of us have heard about all of america's race massacres. there are more than history has kept track of

We are OWED

And I recommend everyone take some time to watch this movie (free on Tubi, a $4 rental on most other streaming services): bsky.app/profile/spry...

this movie is certainly a good entry point into Rosewood. It's where I first heard about it for sure. But it is a movie, and made for "entertainment." After watching the movie, listen to the ancestors tell their stories. Also Dr Marvin Dunn has done some great work on Black Florida

In 1983, 60 Minutes ran a story about a recently uncovered event that happened decades prior. In 1982, a reporter named Gary Moore went around asking questions to Black Floridians. "What exactly happened in 1923?" It's the 103nd anniversary of Rosewood youtu.be/cUfhfpuI2i0?...

all of our institutions are being hollowed out. Collaspe is all but inevitable

The WARN Act required companies who are about to engage in mass layoffs to give 60days notice ahead of layoffs. Mass layoff is defined by any company that lets go 500 employees, a third of the workforce, or 50 employees at any one site. There's over 100 www.newsweek.com/list-compani...

Found our festive celebration today! You thought the reasons to party were past? It's George Washington Carver Day!

Well I'll be!
