What a wonderful and touching gesture.

Arianna Hamilton lost her job at Burger King after taking a stand and saying, “Free Palestine.”

The people of Palestine painted a mural in her honor, celebrated her, and thanked her for standing with them.

Prominent Israeli Activist Posts A Racist AI Video Depicting African Migrants Being Removed Like Garbage

Sheffi Paz was formerly part of Israel’s ‘Left-wing’ Meretz Party & a prominent Lesbian activist. More recently, she has focused her efforts on driving out African asylum seekers.

After backlash, she claimed simply that the AI video was not about skin colour, but instead about “infiltrators who have forced themselves on the local population and are lying drugged in the streets of our neighborhoods. The fact that they came from Eritrea and Sudan is not my fault.”

Trump's Dept. of Education has "indefinitely frozen" investigations into civil rights violations at schools - including reports of racist abuse of Black students and sexual abuse of female students - so the Office of Civil Rights can instead focus on banning transgender athletes

Pretty remarkable that a small island under total economic and energy siege, is building a renewable energy system from scratch. This is made possible by a combination of socialism and solidarity.

“As the Caribbean island’s energy crisis has deepened, Chinese-provided solar panels have popped up across the country, offering an unlikely bright spot for a power grid plagued by fuel shortages, crumbling infrastructure and near-daily blackouts.

“At least 41 midsize and 18 smaller-scale solar parks have been built over the past two years.

“Solar now meets about 10% of the nation’s power needs, up from 3% at the beginning of last year.

“Beijing, the manufacturer of about 80% of the world’s solar panels, sent Cuba $117 million worth of equipment in 2025, up from $3 million in 2023, according to customs data. China has also sent more battery storage units this year.”

So as we continue to explore THINGS SELF HATING NEGROES SAY TO DENY THEIR AFRIKANESS... A quick side bar to share an observation.

There are those among us who define a "Caribbean Identity" as oppositional & conflictual to African identity. But their hostility towards Afrikan identity is not matched by a concern for addressing pressing issues affecting the Caribbean; and certainly not even a midly critical voice on the (neo)coloniser impact on said issues.

In reality, Diaspora Wars are a coloniser endeavour. They are the Colonisers Diaspora Wars. And those who engage them, whether they say they are "Caribbean or African" are consciously or unconsciously doing the colonisers bidding.

⚠️ At least 2 Florida sheriff's offices have quietly bought Meta smart glasses for officers in the past year.

-Broward County Sheriff
-Okeechobee County Sheriff

When asked how officers are using them, a sheriff’s office spokesperson declined to answer.

Nothing to see here. 👓

In this conversation with Trevor Noah, Simon Sinek pretends capitalism was all rainbows and sunshine until that bad man Milton Friedman ruined it in 1970.

As if the origins of capitalism were not based on pillaging Madeira Island, slavery, imperialism and colonialism across the entire planet.

Listening to Sinek, you’d swear the Dutch East India Company was a charity organisation before Friedman came along and “bastardised” capitalism.

In reality, capitalism was so bad in the US that they started calling capitalists “robber barons” in the 1800s, because that’s the natural state of capitalism.

Influencers like Sinek like to paint a mythical “golden era” where Adam Smith’s vision was flourishing, right up until Milton Friedman published his essay in a newspaper declaring that a corporation’s sole responsibility is to maximise shareholder profit.

In truth, long before Friedman wrote a single word, the late 19th-century American “Gilded Age” displayed unchecked corporate power at its peak. John D. Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie actively crushed competition, fixed prices and built trusts.

These Robber Barons used their obscene wealth to buy politicians, secure state bailouts/subsidies and crush labour strikes using government troops. This was not Adam Smith’s vision of fair competition among many small players.

Sinek references the famous 1776 line from The Wealth of Nations about the butcher, the baker, and the brewer acting out of self-interest to provide goods. However, Smith was writing about economic theory rather than the actual economy of the 18th century, which was already deeply tied to colonial monopolies, state-sponsored corporate charters such as the East India Companies, and, of course, transatlantic slavery.

In fact, when you look at what Sinek says Adam Smith was describing, you realise it’s really just trade and commerce. Smith never even used the word “capitalism”. When he wrote The Wealth of Nations, the term didn’t even exist. Instead, he described what he called a “commercial society”.

The markets, commerce, specialisation, and trade, which Sinek alludes to, have existed for thousands of years across almost every human civilisation. So, Smith was observing localised market interactions where small producers exchanged goods directly with their neighbours, and NOT capitalism.

We know Adam Smith wasn’t thinking about capitalism because “capitalism” as a distinct socioeconomic framework defined by private ownership of the means of production, large-scale industrial capital, wage labour, and financial markets was only named and analysed decades later by Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, Karl Marx and others.

Most importantly, people who quote Smith to defend capitalism often ignore how intensely critical he was of merchants, business owners, and corporate monopolies. He warned about how people of the same trade rarely meet together without the conversation ending in a “conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices.”

Smith was also deeply sceptical of large corporations like the Dutch East India Company, considered the first capitalist organisation in human history, arguing that managers handling other people’s money would inevitably succumb to “negligence and profusion” compared to owners managing their own affairs.

So, by using Smith’s butcher/baker example to represent “good capitalism” vs. Friedman’s “bad capitalism,” Sinek conflates normal trade with capitalism and treats the former as some type of awesome, traditional capitalism.

In summation, contrary to what Sinek and others like him say, when a local baker makes good bread to beat the baker down the street, that’s normal market trade and commerce, but when a private equity firm buys the bakery, slashes employee benefits, uses cheap ingredients, buys back stock to boost executive bonuses, and goes bankrupt, *that* is capitalism.

Every African country should take note of happened in Sudan, they will buy their way in and sponsor militias to destroy the state so they can plunder its resources, and take no responsibility for your people being killed or displaced, reject UAE investment

The evisceration of the Voting Rights Act is of great concern to Black voters. But most of the Democratic Party leadership have no real interest in making the VRA a political instrument that protects their rights. Kamala Harris made that lack of concern quite clear and demonstrated the urgency of redirecting Black politics away from the misleaders.

Though this ad is clearly Islamophobic and engages in anti-Arab and anti-Black racism — both of which frequently intersect in US politics — what’s notable to me is how racialized “progressive” politics in the US is, though it is *bipartisanly* caricaturised as “white” and “male”

People in these hell holes take all the risks and face the actually consequences- hoping you all have the power to make a difference. This is why everyone must get serious about having Movement infrastructure to fight back and abolish everything that is dehumanizing us.

Land theft is nothing new, nor is it confined to a single country, it is a global phenomenon that underscores the interconnectedness of our struggles. Tactics tested in one nation are often subsequently implemented in others, compelling us to resist all forms of colonialism.

Why on earth would Black people fight racism alongside people who have spent years subjecting us to it?
