My cucu, now 81, read an article about IMF & World Bank’s history of exploitation in Africa and she wept! She kept asking - do they think we are stupid? did they think we wouldn’t wake up?

Her conclusion was: All Africans must unite against this ongoing colonialism by IMF & WB

Can’t stop thinking about Nikki Giovanni 🤎 and all the Black feminist ancestors we gained in the last six years 🕊️

My favourite pictures of Nikki are of her later in life. We see her in her fullness, realness, queerness, and she loved herself, loved old age, even with cancer.

As we approach one year, I hope by now, it is abundantly clear: it is not by appealing to the humanity of people or through submissions to transnational organisations or pointing out the ‘contradictions’ in the international order or begging for mercy that brings about a just world. But only through a principled commitment that the colonised have a right to resist domination. Every other posture can and has been co-opted. Resistance is existence. A free Palestine within our lifetime.

such dangerous misogynistic rhetoric in a country where abortion is not widely (publicly) accepted or viewed as healthcare. this is so dangerous, so reckless. this is the kind of thing that makes reactionaries organize to fight the little safe abortion access we have. my god. 🤬

@newhumanitarian spotlights the firm’s work in Kenya and reveals how their senior counsel published articles claiming that Kenyans would face “starvation” without pesticides. v-Fluence said he was not under contract at the time.

The invite-only network includes profiles on 500+ people from around the world. Often derogatory & containing a wide range of personal data, profiles name family members, phone numbers, home addresses and even house values.

The $78 billion pesticides market has a powerful lobby that ensures hazardous products continue to be sold across the world. Our year-long investigation uncovers a private social network, Bonus Eventus, used by the industry to monitor its critics.

[Lighthouse Reports @LHreports]

Using court records, FOIA documents & dozens of interviews, we reveal how the US govt helped fund a covert campaign to undermine pesticide regulations & discredit environmentalists in Africa, Europe, and N. America.

[Lighthouse Reports @LHreports]

What connects hit Netflix doc-maker @michaelpollan, award-winning Nigerian environmentalist @NnimmoB and 2 UN human rights experts?
They’ve all been targeted by a secretive  PR company paid to downplay the dangers of pesticides - with US taxpayer money https://t.co/zPuuD93N6s

Kenyans rejecting the agriculture bills & SHIF, if you’ve been trying to understand/explain the corporate capture of our agriculture sector, food sovereignty & how these bills will impact farmers & our health, start here.
Please listen & amplify the articles in this thread.

[Lighthouse Reports @LHreports]

Quick summary of our investigation on how the US govt helped fund a covert campaign to undermine pesticide regulations & discredit environmentalists around the world. @johnallannamuStay tuned for the @AfUncensored documentary next week!

[#LandIsNotProperty Mwalimu Wandia @wmnjoya]

The US has invested heavily in the NGO-elite production machine in Kenya more than in any other African country. Many of our professionals (ahem) are American trained, and our policies are straight out of the racist offices of US, with no modification.

[Ashuka @steph_mithika]

❗️This chilling investigation exposes how the PR machine supported by Big Agriculture multinationals & donors in Kenya has been monitoring activists & disrupting advocacy around “issues deemed important to the success of US-backed agricultural programmes”

The reason we have all these agri bills flooding now is because globalists have captured our agri sector on all fronts - academia, media, government & NGOs. They wield narrative power to create false solutions to climate change, push GMO messaging & false carbon credit solutions.

[Salim M Ishmael, M.D 🇰🇪 @salimishmael_]

I've lost 2 babies on my night shift coz there are no ICU spaces in public hospitals but let's enroll SHIF using BILLIONS

[Ashuka @steph_mithika]

There’s a lot of money going into pushing propaganda from the imperial core through the development sector.

NGOs & donors driven by globalist agendas fund African journalists, academics & agri conferences to spew misinformation & their fake climate science to influence policy

[gatwiri @gatwiri_c]

Why is Kenya so attractive to globalists?

Remember when I said there's someone whispering in govt's ears to blame everything (including the finance bill) on misinformation and disinformation?
