#tdih 1848 in Washington, D.C. 77 enslaved people (adults & children) made a brave, carefully planned escape on the Pearl schooner from slavery.
Tragically, they were apprehended and faced brutal consequences. 💔 #TeachOutsideTextbook #TeachTruth ⬇️🧵

Hyperallergic EIC @hakimbishara.bsky.social snagged a very rare interview with the First Lady of NYC Rama Duwaji. In it she says, “Everything is political: what we choose to show, what we choose to omit, the stories we highlight and the ones we leave in the margins.”

Well he’s certainly not beating the allegations of being a white supremacist

“Black anarchism, as we know it, is born of the prison system…[political prisoners] understand the depths of the rot of the system that rules over our lives and the true function of the monopoly on violence that we know as the state” ~ William C. Anderson
This is a sick civilization.
An open call to genocide. It is clear that Gaza is how we got here- tolerating genocide in one space begets another. Generations of our ancestors have worked to build something different, toward the preservation of earthly life. I hope I live to see this re-orientation.
‘Call your representative to request they try to stop more genocide and potential nuclear war’ is one of the most disempowering positions anyone could hope to be in.
The US is an incomparable threat to the future of the planet. This empire cannot stand and continue to freely destroy populations, countries, and societies as it pleases.
I went on @therealnews.com to discuss Black anarchist history and US politics, among other things. It was great to have this exchange with former Black Panther elder Mansa Musa on ‘Rattling the Bars.’
“The prison facility itself is maximum security, but society is just an extension; it’s a minimum-security prison. And that [radical insight] is at the core of Black anarchism.” - @williamcson.bsky.social

“The Trump administration wants the supreme court to reinterpret the amendment and allow the order to be enforced, overriding more than 125 years of legal precedent.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
NEW: Under AG Pam Bondi, the DOJ has dropped 23,000 criminal cases — including hundreds of investigations into terrorism, white-collar crime and drugs — while prosecuting 32,000 new immigration cases in just the first six months of Trump’s second term.
“The national security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, one of the bill’s strongest backers, has repeatedly worn a noose-shaped lapel pin, symbolising executions under the proposal. He described hanging as “one of the options” alongside the electric chair or “euthanasia”, claiming some doctors had offered to assist. A security committee made some amendments to the bill, which last week passed its first vote. Israel’s public broadcaster KAN reported that executions would be carried out by hanging.”
Hanging.
“The legislation makes the death penalty the default punishment for Palestinians in the Israeli-occupied West Bank found guilty of intentionally carrying out deadly attacks deemed acts of terrorism by a military court.” www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...
Israeli forces have forcibly evicted a Palestinian family from their home in Silwan, occupied East Jerusalem, arresting one member and taking over the property.
The move is part of an intensified campaign in the area, where Palestinian homes are being seized to make way for Israeli settlements.

Eid Mubarak to everyone...except those profiting off of Sudanese, Palestinian, Congolese, Haitian and Indigenous (and all other oppressed people's) death and destruction. May this year bring you ruin and may your wealth be redistributed to those you stole from.
