I collected most of the responses to this tweet, cleaned them up, and gave them a home.

I always wonder about those app reviews from Arabic-speaking countries.
Do they pick stars from right to left because of RTL, or are they just trolling me? 😅
Africa united is the specific fear.
Not Africa poor. Not Africa conflicted. Not Africa dependent.
Those are manageable. Those are, from the perspective of the powers that have organized Africa’s dependency, useful.
Africa united is the scenario that changes the calculation entirely.
A continent with 60% of the world’s uncultivated arable land. With the largest youth population on earth. With reserves of minerals that the entire global energy transition depends on: cobalt, lithium, manganese, rare earths. With a combined GDP that is growing faster than any other regional bloc.
A continent that decides, collectively, to process its own resources. To build its own institutions. To trade within itself first. To use its demographic weight and its resource wealth as leverage rather than as offering.
That continent does not need to beg.
That continent is not a recipient of development assistance.
That continent is a counterweight.
The entire architecture of foreign military bases, debt arrangements, trade agreements tilted against African manufacturing, and the sustained political interference in African governance.
All of it is downstream of one calculation:
Africa must not discover what it is worth.
The work is making sure it does.
In 2006, Democrats promised to end the Iraq War. When they won the midterms, they let the war continue, to further sink Republican popularity for the 2008 election. When Obama won, the war continued for another two years
Expect the same thing with the Iran War
Now seems like a good time to remind people that a bit over ten years ago, China compromised a network of CIA sources, hunted them down, and executed them.

In 1795, Julien Fedon led a slave rebellion in Grenada. What's notable about Fedon’s rebellion is how close he came to seizing control of the entire island. Though Fedon’s rebellion was eventually crushed, Fedon himself escaped and was never captured.
Malcolm X's daughters actively practice and promote Pan-Africanism...
Their practice of Pan-Africanism was heavily passed down by their mother, Dr. Betty Shabazz, who made sure they understood their identity as part of the broader African diaspora.
I've said it before, Captain man and Homelander are what "heroes" would look like if there were actual people with superpowers in this world. Captain man was charging people when they needed rescuing after the mayor cut off his budget. Why does he even have a budget 😭😭?
