I appreciate what she is saying and also think the BAFTA folks could have warned the whole audience better, edited the slur out of the broadcast and made an apology to Michael B Jordan and Delroy Lindo afterwards. Don't blame him for having a tic, but show more compassion to those impacted.
NEW: Indigenous activists erected multiple tipis at Coldwater Spring outside Fort Snelling and near the Whipple Federal Building -- headquarters of ICE's Operation Metro Surge -- establishing an occupation demanding 'land back' in the form of βreturning Fort Snellingβ to the Dakota people. [Video]
Important thread about what is happening to immigrants after they are snatched off the streets. We have to face this and take action, we cannot allow this to continue.
I will say, there is something in how this reactionary political movement nationalizes southern plantation cultural production to enact their fascist plan to break nation-states into corporately controlled economic zones. Talk about the afterlives of slavery. Whew.
This is beyond comprehension. Absolutely horrifying.
Exactly! There are always some who choose to align with the same ppl who would just as soon see you dead, out of some desire for a false sense of security, I don't know. We (Black people) had them in slavery times, they walk amongst us today (I e., Clarence Thomas, Candace Owens). Mind-boggling.
Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."
Yeah, Jews became white for a lot of American culture pretty recently, and that status is always revocable. To many/most white supremacists, Jews are not white even if most of the culture perceives them as white. I say most because Stephen Miller.
Preordered your book earlier today and now I'm about to buy this one too--not to mention a bunch from that list you shared the other day!

I am here for all of it!! Want to read that dissertation π
But having our own news sources was essential.
Yes, I was just listening to a talk with Mariame Kaba and Jeanne Theoharis earlier this week, and Prof. Theoharis emphasized the role of Black newspapers in covering the movement and violence against Black communities, issues that were often ignored or rationalized in mainstream media.
I see your point. It does take more work to find independent, trustworthy sources, and you have to be motivated to do it in the first place.
This begs the question, why are we listening to utter morons?
Wow, I find myself agreeing with Roger Wicker twice in one week!
I really appreciate the explanation of shocks and slides from Movement Generation and working to prepare/determining what we want to build so that we can make the most of organizing in response to shocks while mitigating harm through the slides: movementgeneration.org/shocks-slide...
Omg. I have a just-turned seventeen year old and she is a child. Hell, I consider my eighteen year old a child. Definitely not ok to be saying this kind of stuff, what the hell. Our culture is gross.

What brought my family here? Hmmm, the bowels of slave ships? The Middle Passage?
They need to release them all.
The first link didn't work for me for some reason but I was able to search for the article by the title, just in case anyone else has trouble. myemail.constantcontact.com/Surveillance...
Boosting!
ICE just abandons the people they've illegally kidnapped sometimes thousands of miles from home. Help them get home.
Babies too young to be vaccinated. This is exactly what happens when you imprison people while there is an active, highly contagious (& preventable) outbreak on the rise.
Is there a way to pressure them to at least release the babies and their families &/or to get folks who are unvaccinated vaxed?
Our local high school (Asheville, NC) staged a walkout!
A historic photo of the Greensboro 4.
Feb. 1, 1960, 4 NC A&T students sat-in at the βwhites onlyβ counter at Woolworths in Greensboro. Their defiance ignited a movement led to the birth of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee.
Young people fuel movements. It is inspiring to see that today they still do.

It's so interesting to me because I always learned free range chickens can access the widest diet and have the darkest yolks and that was true for my birds when I was raising chickens.
But these chickens in Abuja were the most free ranging I have ever seen lol and they did not prove that point.
