They will all be held accountable.
They will all be held accountable.
Now we know. We know what to do next.
Don’t stop believing don’t stop resisting.
The absurd dream of martial law is belief legitimacy can be replaced by control, that you can remove foreign presidents, threaten strikes without authorization, control communication, deploy federal force in cities, and still govern rather than merely manage.

I just submitted "No Lights For Days" to Anarchists United Writers Discovery Fellowship via FilmFreeway.com!
Dick Cheney may be gone, but the Homeland he built remains. This essay traces how the logic of endless security fused with neoliberal austerity to create an occupied America — and how, here in Chicago, a new architecture of care is rising from the ruins.

We honor presidents who owned slaves & generals who fought to preserve bondage, yet there’s no national holiday for John Brown—the man who gave his life to end it. Why does America fear to celebrate its most honest patriot? What does our silence about him reveal.

We’ll just keep pulling it down, cut it up then we won’t have to worry about it ever being reinstalled🤣.
In When the Uniform No Longer Protects You, I trace how agencies like ICE have created an “architecture of impunity” through undertraining, financial incentives, and political silence.
“The badge doesn’t protect you from the law; it marks you for it.”

This project came about through a lifelong network of international friendships. From Chicago to Paris to Haiti and Florida.
Congrats to Producer Joaquin Landau of Federation MEAC and filmmaker/animator Paul Louise-Julie.

Communities being occupied is nothing new to African Americans. An irony that we have long endured — armed surveillance, economic containment, and state neglect — is now expanding to encompass poor white and brown communities, and, in a final irony, America itself.

Barack Obama’s presidency was both a triumph of symbolism and a tragedy of structure — a moment when eloquence met empire, and the dream of transformation collided with the machinery of the state.

Across time, grief has been turned into myth, and myth into division. From Berlin to Moscow to our own streets, martyrdom has been used to escalate violence. Let us resist history’s cycle now.

What if the cowboy you grew up watching was never the whole story? From Black cowboys and Cimarrones to gauchos and vaqueros, the frontier was always multiracial and global. In my latest Substack, I reflect on Art T. Burton’s life’s work and my own memories.

Pussy ass response, basically “ what about the democrats?” Fine. Expose the whole corrupt sex crazed duopoly child abusing cabal composed of both parties.

Step into the archive of the future. In this edition of A Different Lens, I trace the roots of Black speculative fiction from Huts of America to the radical worlds of Octavia Butler and N.K. Jemisin—showing how the Black imagination has always been a tool of liberation, not escape. This isn’t just about stories—it’s about strategy, survival, and the futures we’re building right now. Read on, and see what happens when vision becomes praxis. https://floydwebb.substack.com/p/afrofuturism-applied-not-dreamed?r=c40a
From the West Side of Chicago to the politics of dispossession, this is a personal reflection on how Jim Crow, Zionism, and Apartheid share a blueprint—and why only mass movements have ever stopped them.

Juneteenth was granted after George Floyd’s murder—but still no law says cops who shoot unarmed people must face jury trials.
It’s easier to sell us a holiday than to give us justice.
Slave patrols became police.
Don’t celebrate—organize.
She’s a good little Nazi. Just following orders. There will be trials over this one day. The damage they’ve caused, the lives that will be lost we’ll demand justice.

Black Culture, Soft Power, and the Machinery of Imperialism
African American culture has long been one of the most powerful forces in shaping of the American image abroad.
Next time some of your young folk say stupid stuff like “we not our ancestors.” Show them this. Milwaukee 1967. We went toe toe, went to jail and some of us died. #resistance

Hello from Chicago, Lenny Henry.
floydwebb.com,
No matter what, I am leaving TikTok. Red Book is a lot more fun. Those Wiley orientals with their Yellow Peril have done it again!

Our comrade. Cha Cha Jimenez has passed away today.
José "Cha Cha" Jiménez (born August 8, 1948) is a political activist and the founder of the Young Lords Organization, a Chicago-based street gang that became a civil and human rights organization. Started in September 23, 1968. He’ll be missed.
There’s a #DonOLDsaur coming to the White House, His extinction is imminent. His power is waning, his best absurd days behind him. The hyenas are gathering at the smell of his rotting decline, nipping at his shanks. His gangrenous herd will devour him as they foul the land.
Oh my! An illegal African immigrant and welfare queen with 12 children by three different women has just stolen a white job.
