I used to work at an independent Black owned bookstore called @nkirubooks.bsky.social
The very first target of Amazon was independent bookstores, and the Black ones went under first. Myself and Yasiin Bey purchased Nkiru Books back then and I still run it today. Visit us at Kweliclub.com

Another sad night passes by us, with 65 people killed, including 24 children. It seems we will never enjoy peace and tranquility. It appears there will never be a permanent ceasefire. What suffering we are living through.

Lot of people in Gaza are struggling to raise money since the ceasefire but they have lost everything and need to rebuild- there are still few other ways for them to make money in Gaza

Nowhere near enough white people care. Thatβs clear.
Research suggests a mere 3.5% of you folks, working together, are all itβd take to bring about change.
Thatβs 7.4 million white people CONSISTENTLY pushing for changeβactually OBSTRUCTING the racist fascism the U.S. government is spreading.

White people on the left seriously act like people of color made up racism to sow division & if we can just get in line & absolve them of their privilege we can all get back to the class war.

The war on Gaza has ended, but what it left behind are heartbreaking scenes of destruction. Our homes have turned into rubble, and our dreams remain buried beneath the ruins. The war brought nothing but devastation, for we love peace and strive for stability and security.

Reminder - Being woke is being compassionate. Tree hugging hippies are right. MLK was a socialist. Communists beat the nazis. Centrism is cowardice. Fascism is bad, antifascism is good. Empathy is awesome. Hold the line.

I want you to watch the way non-Black people signal their internalized or covert racism by the conditional way they βlikeβ Black people only when said Black people are deferential to them, serving them, giving them grace and space for bullshit.

It is a good viewpoint to see the world as a dream. When you have something like a nightmare, you will wake up and tell yourself that it was only a dream. It is said that the world we live in is not a bit different from this.
