THIS SPEECH WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY…
Any country that sides with the US will forever lose its credibility to speak on human rights and international law.
In 1946 WWII veteran Maceo Snipes was shot in his back by the KKK the day after he became the first Black person to cast a vote in Taylor County, Georgia.
After he was shot, Mr. Snipes walked three miles to the hospital with his mother. For six hours doctors left him waiting and bleeding. By the time he was seen, he needed a blood transfusion. The doctors said the hospital had no “black blood.” Snipes died two days later.
This is why I will vote in every election. This is why you should vote in every election.
The day I stop voting is the day I stop breathing. What about you?

elizabeth eckford turns 85 today. at 15 she walked up to an all-white high school alone on her first day, because her family had no phone and she never heard the other eight students were meeting somewhere else. a mob screamed at her and armed soldiers blocked the door. she got inside later that month. the next year the governor closed every high school in little rock to stop integration, so she never graduated from central. she finished her diploma by mail and night classes, earned a college degree and served five years in the army. in 1999 she received the congressional gold medal. she walked up first and alone, and that door has stayed open for everyone since.
A new investigative documentary exposes how international corporations continue to exploit and make billions from Kenya’s colonial-era tea plantations.
Filmmaker Bea Wangondu hopes the film will start a conversation about de-colonisation.
🚨 BREAKING:
UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese:
"Some researchers and scholars estimate the actual death toll in Gaza at 680,000."
"If confirmed, 380,000 of them are infants under the age of 5."
"I will not go 10,000 miles to help murder and kill another poor people simply to continue the domination of white slave masters...The real enemies of my people are right here, not in Vietnam." - Muhammad Ali on refusing to join the US military.
Just intervened to stop these five nasty thugs wearing Kingstanding Patriots tops beating up a black guy they picked on randomly by the IMAX. They’ve now headed toward the South Bank and I’ve called the @metpoliceuk who have gone off in search of them.
Barack Obama at his last press briefing with reporters, 2017:
"I have enjoyed working with all of you. That does not, of course, mean that I've enjoyed every story that you have filed, but that's the point of this relationship. You're not supposed to be sycophants. You're supposed to be skeptics. You're supposed to ask me tough questions. You're not supposed to be complimentary, but you're supposed to cast a critical eye on folks who hold enormous power."
Mamdani: Today, after years of corporate greed and impunity, we are holding DoorDash to account. I am proud to announce that DoorDash will pay more than $131 million, the largest settlement for food delivery workers ever secured in American municipal history, and a landmark win for those who have been mistreated and abused for years with nowhere to turn.
City Hall will not sit idly by while a megacorporation that made nearly a billion dollars in profits last year rips off the working people who keep our city moving.
As the Israel team travels to Europe where they will play against Austria, Ireland and Kosovo between 24 September - 6 October, Palestinian families are being displaced and dispossessed, their land stolen, their olive trees uprooted, and their histories erased by settlers with the support of the Israeli military. The beautiful game should bring people together, not rubber-stamp apartheid.
It’s unconscionable that the Israel men’s football team will participate in the UEFA Nations League this autumn despite clear evidence that Israel’s football association continues to support illegal settlements.
Sport should never be used as a public relations spectacle for states committing atrocities. When rules are broken, when occupation, apartheid and genocide are ongoing, we cannot look the other way.
Why can Far Right racist thugs get away with terrorising the RNLI but other people get arrested for holding signs against Genocide because they are 'terrorists'.
Sort it out and get the real terrorist locked up.
