Friends this conversation with @lumumbabandele.bsky.social is so powerful! We discuss the lessons that the Black Freedom Movement offers anti-fascist movements, from victories, to experiences of surviving government repression. And check out the Resource Hub for action steps and more reading.

What are two things that other anti-fascist resources have in common?

They weren't made by or for black people. And they don't talk about black experiences of oppression or liberation.

Check out the latest with Lumumba on how Black communities have faced and resisted fascism. fascismbarometer.org/

OTD, 1976, thousands of students took to the streets of Soweto in a courageous & fierce act of self determination to reject the European colonizer curriculum in their schools. The police attacked the children setting off the #SowetoUprising which lasted weeks & was a major catalyst for the mvmt.

More than our words and symbolic gestures, may our commitment and work to love, improve, protect and defend ourselves, our communities, our people and inevitably the world be our most fitting tribute to our Black shining Prince, El Hajj Malik Shabazz.

For those on the “this isn’t about us” bus -

“It's not about legal status, consistent with the idea that it's a wartime authority, not an immigration authority."

"There's nothing in the law itself that would require it to be limited to undocumented individuals or individuals who have committed crimes," said Katherine Yon Ebright, counsel on the liberty and national security team at the center-left Brennan Center for Justice.

Mahmoud Khalil did everything MAGAs claim they care about: He followed the law, got his green card legally, got married & started a family, had no criminal record—but because the party of free speech didn't like HIS free speech, he's abducted & set for deportation

The actual released Palestinian hostages versus the photo the Associated Press attached to their headline.

This is what “Zionist media” means.

Palestinians doing victory signs inside a Red Cross bus. A woman on a red sweater, a young girl man standing behind her. The bus driver in his seat.

“Breaking: Israel has started releasing 9@ Palestinian prisoners, all women or minors, as part of the Gaza ceasefire deal with Hamas.”
The photo is of Hamas fighters wielding guns triumphantly, a batch of kids making the same angry gestures in front of them, a violent photo much different than the actual released hostages.

ve said this time and time again and he continues to prove it correct. This man is unfit to lead a block association much less a city. This must be his last year as mayor.
