Friends this conversation with @lumumbabandele.bsky.social is so powerful! We discuss the lessons that the Black Freedom Movement offers anti-fascist movements, from victories, to experiences of surviving government repression. And check out the Resource Hub for action steps and more reading.
OTD, 1976, thousands of students took to the streets of Soweto in a courageous & fierce act of self determination to reject the European colonizer curriculum in their schools. The police attacked the children setting off the #SowetoUprising which lasted weeks & was a major catalyst for the mvmt.
AT ALL!!
Period!!

“It's not about legal status, consistent with the idea that it's a wartime authority, not an immigration authority."
"There's nothing in the law itself that would require it to be limited to undocumented individuals or individuals who have committed crimes," said Katherine Yon Ebright, counsel on the liberty and national security team at the center-left Brennan Center for Justice.

These times cause anxiety, anger, anguish, depression, but these times also feed artistic creativity.
Palestinians doing victory signs inside a Red Cross bus. A woman on a red sweater, a young girl man standing behind her. The bus driver in his seat.
“Breaking: Israel has started releasing 9@ Palestinian prisoners, all women or minors, as part of the Gaza ceasefire deal with Hamas.” The photo is of Hamas fighters wielding guns triumphantly, a batch of kids making the same angry gestures in front of them, a violent photo much different than the actual released hostages.
The actual released Palestinian hostages versus the photo the Associated Press attached to their headline.
This is what “Zionist media” means.
This is not a drill! They are keeping their promise and so will we.
