This was my favorite interview I've done in a long time. @ljoywilliams was a pleasure to talk with, and we really dug into issues of race and immigration policy. I am a fan of @SundayCivics!

The auctioneers claim it was sold before and not claimed. The reason no doubt since the central cross and the 4 crosses have been defaced no doubt to hide its identity! Compare original with auction @UNESCO_Addis @ArtRestitution @OpenRestitution @SwissAddisAbaba @mfaethiopia

If tomorrow's auction goes ahead La Galerie Numismatique will be complicit in loot, as will be any bidders. The Gallerie should do the right thing and pull the medal from auction and negotiate.@SwissAddisAbaba @SwissMFA @swiss_un

Cancel today's auction, Galerie Numusmatique!
Return Ras Desta's medal! This is #plunderart, stolen by Fascist Italian soldiers, war criminals.
Everyone call the Galerie Numusmatique to voice your outrage

The arrogance of this Swiss auction house is reminiscent of the Fascist regime that committed these heinous crimes in Ethiopia in the 1930s.

[Art Recovery International @artrecovery]

Thanks to all of you who shared this story, the stolen medal DID NOT SELL and was passed by the🇨🇭auction house. We again asked to be put in touch with their Consignor and they responded in a very unprofessional way. 👇 It's become personal for them and all about the money.

Watching @GrandpaFilm again with my parents and I am struck by how it is a touching love letter from Yeshi to her father. Kassa Wolde Mariam, the first president of Addis Ababa - at the time Haile Selassie - university. I thought the beautiful stories told about him (1/3)

NEW: @NYCMayor continues to scapegoat migrants for his fiscal choices. NYC could save $3Billion by expanding access to housing vouchers & moving people into permanent housing, says @HeyItsMurad. #AffordabilityCrisis #ImmigrantsAreNYS https://t.co/F94IYIdPsU

[African Communities Together @AfricansUS]

40+ members of the NY State legislature issued a letter to @POTUS asking to utilize TPS protection to support the needs of arriving migrants and allow them to work.

[African Communities Together @AfricansUS]

🚨A shocking 6.9 million people have been displaced in DRC. The Biden administration has previously declared that the country is in a state of emergency.

It's time for the @POTUS @SecMayorkas to designate #TPS4DRC and save lives!

Congratulations to @AfricansUS on launching AfriLingual, the first worker-owned language services cooperative!

Accurate language services means all New Yorkers can communicate better—whether they speak Mandingo, Wolof, Fulani, or one of many other African indigenous languages.

[New York Immigration Coalition (NYIC) @thenyic]

There is additional work being done to build co-ops for Asian languages, and indigenous Central & South American languages. This incredibly important work is being led by @masanyorg & @AAFederation.

“Accurate and accessible information and services is a matter of life and death for individuals, and a public health imperative for all of us," said @CMShahanaHanif, Chair of the Immigration Committee at @NYCCouncil.

Why does Brussels Airport have a separate T terminal just for African flights, removed from the rest of the airport?

[Stella Nyanzi @drstellanyanzi]

A quorum of 389 out of 529 Ugandan members of parliament (including 55 online) voted for the Anti-Homosexuality Bill (2023). The bill now goes to dictator @KagutaMuseveni for assent by appending his signature. This is a sad day for human rights of LGBTIQA+ people in Uganda!
