Weak ass Black “gender wars” takes seem to revolve around Black men responding angrily to what Black women VERBALIZE about men, while very little of the energy goes to the toxicity of patriarchy which mass-produces the VIOLENCE which harms us all.
On Juneteenth, we remember how freedom arrived in this country--late, withheld, sorely insufficient, & because Black people seized it through a “General Strike,” abandoning Confederate plantations en masse, starving the South’s war economy and forcing the Union’s hand.

Is it antisemitic to point out that this is how Zionists treat Jews who resist their colonial project? I think it is a legitimate question because students in the U.S. who resisted genocide were labelled as antisemetic.
For #Juneteenth: 70+ years after the Civil War, the WPA's Federal Writers' Project began interviewing elderly Americans who remembered being enslaved. These moving narratives & photos are now held here at the Library.

As the FIFA World Cup arrives in the U.S., we call out the hypocrisy: celebrating global unity while the host nation pursues intervention and exclusion across the region. Join the Boycott U.S. call. From 1804 to Juneteenth, the struggle continues. #BoycottUS#AntiImperialism
That fight is far from over. Today, Haiti faces foreign intervention, economic domination, and attacks on its sovereignty—reminders that freedom remains unfinished. On Juneteenth, we stand with Haiti and reaffirm: no liberation without true self-determination.
From Palmares to Haiti to Juneteenth, Africans across the Americas fought not just against enslavement but for sovereignty. 1804 proved that emancipation without self-determination is incomplete. The demand for Black self-governance has always been at the heart of liberation.
Thank you to the Miami Coalition to End U.S. Blockade on Cuba for inviting me to participate in the No War on Cuba speak-out. I was honored to share our Zone of Peace campaign, the Assembly of Caribbean Peoples’ call to defend Cuba's sovereignty and the Cuban Revolution's long history of solidarity w/New Afrikans.
Defending Cuba is part of the struggle against imperialism and for the self-determination of all oppressed peoples. 🇨🇺🌍✊🏿HANDS OFF CUBA!
Obama’s presidential library is the perfect symbol of the Black bourgeoisie. Black residents in Chicago are protesting a library built on their park space that will accelerate gentrification, while Black elites and liberals celebrate its opening as “Black excellence.”
