@blackleftaf @ahvonenonni @MomodouTaal Apologies. Was off Twitter for a bit. Yes! @blackleftaf brilliant work was definitely helpful in refining my definition. I also point out the importance of locating black life in distinct historical epochs of capitalism, which is vital 2 a radical BPE analysis.

@ValerieJarrett @BarackObama Please do NOT donate to Obama's neoliberal plan to gentrify the southside of Chicago and destroy a historic park! He can stay in Martha's Vineyard!

"If the current regime is overthrown or weakened, do not expect Black people in Cuba to have some sort of renaissance. If anything, they'll be thrown further back, perhaps even to the level of people in the US."

Anyone who cares to hear what Cynthia Johnson (who has received death threats from “Trumpers”) ACTUALLY said, in context, should watch the video 🙄

[The Detroit News @detroitnews]

The Michigan House's GOP leaders have taken away the committee assignments of Democratic Rep. Cynthia Johnson after the Detroit lawmaker issued a "warning" to "you Trumpers" in a Facebook post. https://t.co/HhludCKMrX

Reforming the police is like reforming chattel slavery. @DocMellyMel: “You can’t reform that shit.” Organizers gather at a site of detention, @UCLA’s #JackieRobinson Stadium, to honor lives stolen by police terror & Indigenous land stolen by institutions. Pt 2 of #AbolitionNOW!
