AP had a choice about how to report this and reported it in a way that suggests Black Americans are collectively experiencing a mass delusion And then they wonder why we believe US institutions are conspiring against us? The gaslighting is wild

1/4 As we are ending Pride month, I want to remind queer people in Ghana about this health fund of CAD 1309.43 I'm administering thanks to my friends Molly Yanity and Lindsay Boyle Once the amount is exhausted, the fund will be closed.

Toni Morrison said that fascism “is recognizable by its determination to convert all public services to private entrepreneurship,” and “changes citizens into taxpayers—so individuals become angry at even the notion of the public good.”

Youre closer to living in your car than living in a mansion—or a paid off house for that matter. Organize and have some class solidarity.

Another good day to remind people that just because an academic is renowned for their work in social justice, antiracism, decolonisation, or equality, it does not mean they are invested in this work at a personal level. Some are very good at researching these topics. That is all.

Pan-Africanism is anti-Zionist.

We gotta stop projecting politics onto folks just because they write about a particular subject. Most academics writing about radicals and revolutionaries are doing so as an object of inquiry NOT because they share their commitments. Folks’ politics can be gleaned from how +
