I can’t stand you witchcraft merchants that has never done a deep dive soul-searching interception. How about using that energy to reflect on why you envy people and want to destroy them? How about using it to dismantle actual power that marginalises you? Deflecting and unwise
Ta-Nehisi, Joy Reid, Greta Thunberg, etc were once liberal darlings until they started speaking out against Western Imperialism. Is there anyone who liberals widely embrace who speak openly about what MLK called the interlocking Triple Evils… poverty, racism, and militarism?
I don’t mean to sound Melodramatic but do y’all ever think about how humanity used to navigate the world by the Stars and now people can’t make a Grocery list without the help of Ai.
In Jubbaland’s Lower & Middle Juba (Afmadow, Badhaadhe, Hagar, Jilib & Sakow), mainly Absaame communities practice agro-pastoralism. They grow rain-fed maize/sorghum in dheshek areas and raise cattle plus shoats. Livestock is sold to Kenya and they produce milk & ghee.

As a millennial, I remember what it was like growing up. The misogyny. The pre-me-too era. The racism.

“A big part of the reason why I wanted to do this tour in the first place is so I could stand up in stadiums like this and say two words that are very near and dear to my heart: Free Palestine.

I have an 11-year-old daughter, her name is Sloan, she’s here tonight. And if any of you guys are parents, then you know that that love that you have for your kids cannot be put into words, right? I want to see her grow up, I want to see her go to school, to fall in love, to figure out meaning, purpose, joy, her existence on this planet. I want it to be the most beautiful possible. And I think that every single human being that walks this earth deserves that exact same feeling. To know safety and peace before they know the sound of violence, to know the sound of laughter on a playground before planes and bombs, for parents to be able to say bye to their kids in the morning and not have to wonder if this is going to be the last time they kiss their child goodbye.“
And if I let that fear I felt on the plane yesterday stop me from speaking my heart in order to keep my own comfort and the audience’s comfort, that is the day I no longer continue to be on stage. So, I say, ‘Free Palestine!’ I say, free America, free Cuba to the Congo to Sudan to Iran, and all the people in America who have to live in fear because of this terrorist organization ICE.”
