You can have all the education. You can be "right" about everything. But until you organize with real people in real communities, and engage with all the complexities - you'll never fully understand our people's needs and how to effectively fulfill them.
The American gestapo took every single migrant workers from this farm, and I've no doubt it's to intimidate others from going ahead with the planned strike. This is a tactic to intimidate and punish these people for wanting to be treated humanely and fairly. It's evil.

Y’all don’t understand the dangerous floodgates you are opening by using AI to depict Black History.
Black Cowgirls 1800s. ♥️ 🖤 💚
Sudan is being starved like Gaza, but receiving WAY less attention. There are two different groups of people being annihilated in front of us and whatever we are doing isn't enough. Please talk about both, help both!
People in Sudan are boiling weeds with salt water because there’s nothing else to eat. One teacher even wrote a love poem to a wild plant that kept him and others alive. Let that sink in. The world has failed Sudan like no other. #KeepEyesOnSudan #EyesOnDarfur #EyesOnNuba
Malcolm Jamal Warner was truly a kind spirit. His love of poetry & music, like his love of Black people & culture, ran deep. He set a shining example of one who felt his celebrity came with a responsibility & worked tirelessly to pay the love he received forward. 🙏🏿🕊️🖤✨✨✨
“Queen Mother is a sensitively written take on a century of Black history, and an absorbing account of a Black woman who survived the ravages of white supremacy and responded to the challenges of her life with intellectual curiosity, moral courage, and clarity.
happy revolutionary birthday to these doyens!
Assata Shakur and Ida B. Wells born on the same day is legendary!
We will never stop saying your name, #SandraBland. #SayHerName
Can we start a new discourse that interrogates the impact of slavery, colonialism, and yt supremacy on Africans and African descendants globally? And how this is the culprit behind so much internal and cross cultural hostility?
My father, Rev. Dr. #MartinLutherKingJr, taught about and sought to eradicate the Triple Evils of Militarism, Extreme Materialism/Poverty, and Racism. These interconnected, devastating blights against humanity persist today. And so many are willing vessels for them. #MLK…
Years ago, I attended a conference at Medgar Evers College where ppl from across the Diaspora were able to have private cross-cultural dialogue about differences and similarities. And it was really incredible. I think we need something like that outside of these toxic spaces.
Dang yall dont see yourselves reflected in other black folk throughout the diaspora? Thats so tragic
Are you a bot, fed, or fool?
O I don’t have to research shit. New research has shown that blacks have been in America for hundreds of thousands of years. I knew we wasn’t from y’all musty booty scratching asses .
There is an extreme agenda to sow division between Black people. People need to really wake up cause there are folks in high places who support this and are actively funding it.
Yep, they called me a mad woman. Now look at what’s happening.
We are witnessing Ad*s and F/BA’s hateful anti-African and xenophobic rhetoric being popularized in real time. Which ironically also tracks with the current fascist political climate. It’s no longer a ‘loud minority’ issue & many of us warned that this would happen.
