April 1953. Mathare Valley, Kenya. They suspected the village of hiding freedom fighters. So they brought in bulldozers. Flattened every home.
They didn't just steal the land. They erased the people on it.
And 70 years later, the UK still has military bases in Kenya.
The empire never left. They just changed the uniforms.
GB News presenter Alex Armstrong and commentator Bernadette Spofforth have been ordered to apologise to and pay damages to @MothinAli after suggesting he took part in the racist riots in Leeds in 2024. In reality, he was asked to attend the scene by the police. He then tried to calm the situation and even put himself in danger by trying to stop someone from pushing a wheelie bin into a fire.
Here’s Mothin Ali stopping rioters in Leeds from setting fire to pallets and trying to calm the situation down.
The smears against him were disgusting, and the apologies were thoroughly deserved.
If only we had more politicians like Mothin.
They burned our libraries. Stole our gold. Cut off our hands. Castrated our men. Raped our women. Worked us to death. Stole our children. Drew borders through our families. Erased our names. Banned our languages.
Then wrote books saying we had no history.
These heads are not decoration. They are memory. They are witnesses.

In 1946 WWII veteran Maceo Snipes was shot in his back by the KKK the day after he became the first Black person to cast a vote in Taylor County, Georgia.
After he was shot, Mr. Snipes walked three miles to the hospital with his mother. For six hours doctors left him waiting and bleeding. By the time he was seen, he needed a blood transfusion. The doctors said the hospital had no “black blood.” Snipes died two days later.
This is why I will vote in every election. This is why you should vote in every election.
The day I stop voting is the day I stop breathing. What about you?

elizabeth eckford turns 85 today. at 15 she walked up to an all-white high school alone on her first day, because her family had no phone and she never heard the other eight students were meeting somewhere else. a mob screamed at her and armed soldiers blocked the door. she got inside later that month. the next year the governor closed every high school in little rock to stop integration, so she never graduated from central. she finished her diploma by mail and night classes, earned a college degree and served five years in the army. in 1999 she received the congressional gold medal. she walked up first and alone, and that door has stayed open for everyone since.
