It is with deep sorrow and profound love that we announce the passing of Sonny Rollins. The Saxophone Colossus died this afternoon at his home in Woodstock, NY at the age of 95. 1/2 https://t.co/6AGmFrB7x4
The legendary Phil Cohran, formerly of the Sun Ra Arkestra, playing the Frankiphone, an electrified Kalimba, that he invented and played during jam sessions with the Artistic Heritage Ensemble in Chicago.
This is why I love NYC! If you stop rushing to get everywhere you will find raw moments like this: a guy in timbs pouring his soul into a Bach cello sonata.
He made the subway sound like a cathedral. Pure joy!

This man is a literal two-legged pig and an accomplice to police murder.
I was a member of the NY Black Panther Collective's 'brutality prevention' video patrols of the NYPD under Mayor Giuliani. Although our main objective was to record police misconduct and provide legal first aid to Black and Latino communities, we belonged to multiracial coalitions. The American Civil Rights, Black Power, and Revolutionary Internationalist movements of the last 60 years have always seen poor and working class white people as an oppressed group. When are poor and working class white people going to divest from its allegiance to racist police force and imperialist white power?

@MalekAkan Uhuru bro. I don’t think I can stomach to watch the last clip but Chairman Fred Hampton is about to be on repeat. The white ruling class is in decline. And the colonial mode of production is in peril.
When people are ideologically defeated, they say the most idiotic things. If that doesn’t work… they might try and insult you- revealing themselves to be the jackass they are.
