The Way You Make Me Feel (1987) Michael Jackson

The love, solidarity & support being given to Venezuela must extend to Haiti which is also part of the Caribbean & Americas. Haiti has been strangled by the US through direct invasion & by proxy now w/Kenyan police forces. There’s no true sovereignty for the Americas w/o Haiti.

U.N.I.T.Y. (1993) Queen Latifah

-Two Graduates = Two Results:- SKILLS & QUALIFICATIONS - Two Parents = Two Emotions:- PRIDE & JOY I don’t owe my mother anything. We are square now.🙏2025!

This has to be the stupidest response to the tweet I've seen. And there's tough competition. You are a racist liar. Lenin wrote about the oppression of black people in the US. And the comintern drafted an entire theses on the black struggle. I have received the most insane

That book, for those who know enough detail about the Dar es Salaam days, confirms the truth of that saying, "there is no honor among thieves".

In expressing sadness & solidarity with Tanzanians, you must also hold space for the Maasai who have been subjected to excessive/extreme use of force, detentions & forced evictions for years. If one of us isn’t free, none of us are and these injustices shouldnt have been ignored.

And despite an alleged decolonial turn, academia has failed to uplift the plight of Africa’s Indigenous people who continue to hear the brunt of violence as greed under the guise of conservation continues to displace them through violent forced evictions.

10/11/1995-THIRTY. 30. Thirty years of grief. No days off. When grief stays this long, it starts to change shape. It grows new faces, new silences, new ways of sitting beside you when no one else will. My mother was thirty-eight when she died. I have now outlived her by two
