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

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.

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.

Of misogyny, Musk, and men
Women are not okay. We're furious.
βWomen are walking around, suspicious and guarded and apoplectic, knowing that some in our families or neighborhoods voted us back into second-class status, and wondering what else theyβre ready to go along with.β @clarajeffery.bsky.social www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
