✊🏽Today we honor revolutionary socialist and Chairman of the Chicago Black Panther Party Fred Hampton, on what would have been his 78th birthday.
Assassinated at the age of 21 by the Chicago Police Department and the FBI, Fred Hampton was a pillar of the fight for Black liberation, a defender of all oppressed communities, and unifying force for working people from all walks of life who understand they have a common enemy. Today, freedom fighters continue to stand on his shoulders.
As Chairman Hampton said himself, “You can kill a revolutionary, but you can never kill a revolution.”
aipac boss call was made. they are unanimous in their hatred of me, and i welcome their hatred. if you’re a defender of israel’s genocide, of its occupation, of its child killing spree - then your boos mean nothing to me

Don���t investigate solidarity. Investigate the blockade. Leave Cuba alone.

Jesse Jackson recognized the humanity of Palestinians, and for that he was endlessly smeared as a terrorist-loving monster by the same Zionist media and political class who are now celebrating him to turn him into a harmless icon and symbol for their own depravity. RIP

Star Wars taught me that you should fight oppressive empires and champion the defenseless, not the other way around. I don't think you can be a star wars fan and be okay with what's happening in the US right now.
