Every single one had FBI files.
Vilified in life. Sanitized in death.From Malcolm X to Martin Luther King Jr., from Rosa Parks to Nelson Mandela — many who uplifted Black communities were surveilled, criticized, and opposed. When truth challenges power, backlash often follows.
During the Civil Rights era and beyond, many prominent Black leaders, activists, and cultural figures were monitored by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Through official programs such as COINTELPRO, federal authorities conducted surveillance on individuals they considered politically influential or capable of organizing large movements.
Figures such as Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., Muhammad Ali, James Baldwin, Angela Davis, and others were subject to government monitoring at different points in their lives. In many cases, surveillance was tied to their activism, political affiliations, global connections, or their ability to mobilize communities around issues of civil rights and social change.
This pattern highlights an important historical reality: when movements challenge existing power structures, government scrutiny often follows. Surveillance was not limited to one ideology or one group — it was part of a broader national security strategy during a period marked by Cold War tensions and domestic unrest.
Despite being monitored, investigated, criticized, and sometimes targeted, these individuals continued their work. They organized, wrote, protested, spoke publicly, and influenced laws and public opinion. Their impact extended far beyond any investigation file.
THE STONE ROSES VS THE DAILY MAIL
A clip that never gets old.
No media training.
No polished PR lines.
Just pure Roses energy — dry humour,
Manc attitude, and zero interest in playing the industry game. Ian Brown answered like only Ian Brown can.
If they dress like Nazis, salute like Nazis, use Nazi slogans, use Nazi songs in their propaganda, mercilessly execute like Nazis, arrest, deport, cage, starve and murder like Nazis, THEN THEY’RE FUCKING NAZIS!

The texts between Conan, Will Arnett, and Jason Bateman are hilarious. Conan lost both of his parents and somehow joking about Bateman killing them is so dark and yet such a sweet way to help a friend grieve.
Austin City Limits' final taping of Season 51 with Queens of the Stone Age was beyond special. A wonderful time was certainly had by all.
You can watch @qotsa very special episode featuring songs from "Alive in the Catacombs" on @pbs in early 2026.
