The United States is a capitalist plantation run by 1,000 billionaires who oversee 200 million broke workers with the assistance of 20 million millionaires who provide cover.
This is nothing to celebrate.

Happy Birthday Patrice Lumumba 🖤
Born on this day in 1925, the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s first prime minister left such extraordinary legacy it continues resonating in people’s hearts to this day, even gave us one of the most viral moments from this year’s World Cup.
A strong Congo, in control of its resources, stood to shake up global imperialism in an exciting way.
On this day we celebrate not just his life and legacy but his fearless vision for a unified Africa!

Imagine equating Black intelligence to a disease
NBA sources believe Jaylen Brown thinks he’s the smartest person in the room, per @colincowherd
“I had two NBA sources … two people in the league, one an executive, one a scout, say that Jaylen Brown has — it’s a disease. He suddenly thinks he’s the smartest guy in every room he’s in … You make a lot of money, suddenly you’re absolutely sure, you don’t wanna listen to your bosses, you don’t wanna listen to consultants, you don’t wanna listen to teammates.”

Do you know how much PROPAGANDA it takes to convince a whole country of people that their military exists solely to keep them safe, and not to keep people around the world under their rule by destroying their homes and infrastructure while stealing their resources?

Burkina Faso is one of the hottest countries on earth, yet 500+ students are learning in full thermal comfort, no air conditioning required.
This school’s thick clay walls absorb the heat, while elevated steel roofs push it out. Eucalyptus ceilings, local labor, rainwater harvesting, everything possible came from what was already there.
This is a technology institute built with the technology that suits our climate and needs. The West calls it “low-tech.” Africans call it working with your climate, not against it.

The U.S. is careening towards economic and military disaster, a moment when the Black radical tradition is missing but badly needed. Read my latest in Black Agenda Report @blkagendareport.

Another RT said it’s to punish “minorities” which is true but it’s important to locate vagrancy laws historically under Black Codes.
They were established during the Reconstruction era to police Black people, have an excuse to arrest them and get free labor (13th Amendment)
Completely missed the detail about a Canadian mining company making the find. The west already has its hands in the pot

Both parties have always hated Black people. We've known this since the Compromise of 1877 when both parties made a political deal at the expense of the rights and well-being of Black people. As for where to go now, Pan-African nationalists have been arguing for generations that the only solution is to build an independent political base.
