As we get closer to Martin Luther King, Jr's birthday, it's important to show that The Black Panthers provided 20,000 free meals per week. Capitalists & J Edgar Hoover saw this as a threat

We need to revive these sort of social services and rise against fascist authoritarians by any means necessary

To understand how climate disasters are being discussed, look no further than Hurricane Katrina. Here's where I tell you all to follow @maryannaise.bsky.social and read her essay in #TheBlackAgenda titled:

MUST WATCH!

If you are taking a break from politics during the holiday, good for you. There is nothing to feel guilty about.

If you re-center what you love, you will remember why you fight.

When the Feds Are Still Watching Former Black Panthers fear the FBI is still keeping tabs on them decades after COINTELPRO. In at least one case, they were right.

For years, former Black Panthers have feared that the FBI is still keeping tabs on them decades after its notorious COINTELPRO program.

Malik Rahim had never been able to prove he was targeted. Now, government docs show he was correct.

When we survive this dark chapter and there are sane people back in charge, can we agree that education and specifically civics education to ensure an informed, educated citizenry will be a high priority?

No. Anti-Blackness says everything about them and nothing about me, my inherent value or god-given dignity. Failure to see that is their sin.

In A Litany for Survival, Audre Lorde told us that the time for marginalized people to speak about our experiences is now because we were never meant to survive. Speaking publicly about our desires, joys, pleasures, pains, and power in a world that would rather see us gagged is a political act.

Wow. Blaming unions, as they appear to do, rather than owning that budgets reflect a university’s values, is a choice.

Good morning, black women.

Blocking bots, people dumber than bots and escaped mental patients isn't creating an echo chamber.
