Medicaid expansion aside, I'd just like to note that anyone who is a caregiver already has a job—often a more-than full time job—even if they aren't paid for it and even if capitalists don't recognize it as valuable work.

Okay now that Kwanzaa is over I want to talk about the myth and propaganda of Black buying power and the “Black dollar”.
Because capitalism ain’t gonna free us.

Pivoting away from the War Economy begins with the recognition of how it pulls and pushes us into isolation and away from interdependence, how it demands we act with urgency and without care, how it makes us choose convenience over the health of the planet. #PeaceEconomy #Peace

The whole US is anti-Black and anti-immigrant and needs a travel advisory if that’s what we’re doing. Every. Single. State.

It’s basically two trainings in one. Bottom-up community organizing and direct action/resistance training. Afterwards, you can take a deeper dive by going door knocking with us in the community or practicing direct action tactics.

“Both “free the land” and “by any means necessary” were always used in the slogan to support the rights of Black people in America to use armed struggle as a means of winning our freedom.” -me

Abolition the only solution.

[derecka @dereckapurnell]

all of the reforms failed at the same damn time - black cops, body cameras, multiple cops on the scene, tasers instead of guns- so how is more reform the answer?
#Blacker cops? Even non-deadlier non deadly weapons? ten cops instead of five? HD body cameras? harder convictions?

[Calandra @CalanKD]

Or defund them both

[Mr. Franklin @Kamikaze601]

All of this...WHEN YOU COULD HAVE JUST GIVEN JPD THE FUNDS HIRE MORE OFFICERS AND PURCHASE NEW VEHICLES/EQUIPMENT WHEN THE CITY ASKED!!

It’s a celebration of life and freedom. #JacksonMS #Mutulu

[Calandra @CalanKD]

Birthday party for one of my partners and a celebratory fundraiser for Baba Mutulu. Pull up. If you want to perform or auction art, hop in my DMs.

My last move was very intentional & now we’re about to have THREE sustainable ecosystems. Bottom-up organizing in 2 MS communities & 1 international hub towards self-governance. Solar farms, wells, medic centers, African centered education. #RadicalImagination #Sustainability

[Calandra @CalanKD]

Your reform methods aren’t working. Abolish the police.

[Samuel Sinyangwe @samswey]

Police killed at least 1,054 people through November 27, 2022. Police are killing people at higher rates in 2022 than *any year on record* in the United States. https://t.co/0VQVssyYOK

This the one.

[Calandra @CalanKD]

Sharing on all of my platforms because so many movement spaces are now just glorified nonprofits claiming to do community work when they ain’t een much the community.

[K @kswiftly1]

Hi. So fun fact: non-profits are NOT community. They may have community members involved with their operations but ultimately they are beholden to their funders, part of a capitalist/colonial/imperialist system, and usually serve a counter-insurgent or de-radicalizing purpose.

[Calandra @CalanKD]

A year of intentionality is what got me here. I don’t plan on leaving. #LifeIsSweet

[Calandra @CalanKD]

The Woman King was a spiritual experience for me. 2 whole days later and I’m thinking about what it brought up inside of me. Black folks go see this movie!

[josh! @queersocialism]

these people think colonialism, imperialism, and being responsible for the dispossession and deaths of millions is merely just a minor character flaw

[Calandra @CalanKD]

@D_1andOnly_ Well actually

[Calandra @CalanKD]

This is it.
