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

Generational Black Homes in LA Reduced to Ash Amid Growing Wildfires
As multimillion-dollar mansions in celebrity enclaves dominate headlines, Black communities in Altadena face an uphill battle to rebuild their lives.
Throughout Los Angeles, ash, smoke, wind & flames are rewriting the landscape & although less publicized, Black history.
My latest gets into what is being lost, & how disaster-capitalism + the collapse of the insurance system will make it so much worse. capitalbnews.org/california-w...

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.

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.
