Praying for the swift defeat of the US in its vile attempt to destroy Venezuelan sovereignty.

I love the idea that this is violence because the implication is that concrete planters are sentient

Assata Shakur joins the ancestors a free woman. She did not die bound by the carceral system and she did not pass away living in a land that never respected or accepted her.

Assata taught us that liberation can not be bargained for, it must be taken.

Rest Free, Assata.

the last of…
for Assata Shakur

[Material Blerd! 🪄 @Blerdybynature]

Assata Shakur has transitioned, and I want to remind y'all that she didn't run and hide to Cuba; she was exiled. Even in Cuba, she was an uncompromising visionary and dangerous to every system that profits from our oppression.

Take some time to read and listen to her today.

"I wasn’t against communism, but i can’t say i was for it either. At first, i viewed it suspiciously, as some kind of white man’s concoction, until i read works by African revolutionaries and studied the African liberation movements. Revolutionaries in Africa understood that the question of African liberation was not just a question of race, that even if they managed to get rid of the white colonialists, if they didn’t rid themselves of the capitalistic economic structure, the white colonialists would simply be replaced by Black neocolonialists. There was not a single liberation movement in Africa that was not fighting for socialism.

The whole thing boiled down to a simple equation: anything that has any kind of value is made, mined, grown, produced, and processed by working people. So why shouldn’t working people collectively own that wealth? Why shouldn’t working people own and control their own resources? Capitalism meant that rich businessmen owned the wealth, while socialism meant that the people who made the wealth owned it.

I got into heated arguments with sisters or brothers who claimed that the oppression of Black people was only a question of race. I argued that there were Black oppressors as well as white ones. That’s why you’ve got Blacks who support Nixon or Reagan or other conservatives. Black folks with money have always tended to support candidates who they believed would protect their financial interests. As far as i was concerned, it didn’t take too much brains to figure out that Black people are oppressed because of class as well as race, because we are poor and because we are Black. …

[Earlier in my life] When someone asked me what communism was, i opened my mouth to answer, then realized i didn’t have the faintest idea. My image of a communist came from a cartoon. It was a spy with a black trench coat and a black hat pulled down over his face, slinking around corners …
I never forgot that day. We’re taught at such an early age to be against the communists, yet most of us don’t have the faintest idea what communism is. Only a fool lets somebody else tell him who his enemy is… It’s got to be one of the most basic principles of living: always decide who your enemies are for yourself, and never let your enemies choose your enemies for you."

I have seen the inside of baby skulls, children with eyes bulging from their sockets because they were crushed by building. Elders being burned alive in tents. If that video is the “most gruesome” thing you have ever seen, you just admitted you don’t see Palestinians as human.

Obsessed with how that one Chorus girl put out a video “debunking” @TaylorLorenz article while showing all of the relevant portions of the contract which totally confirmed Taylor’s reporting.

@Charles90319384 @JeanGreige Oh ok that makes sense, it’s always hard to actually find where things start bc so many people end up retalking about it but never actually giving any information. Thank you!
