Will this ceasefire hold? History says no. Experience asks 'What's going on?' Truth says 'More of the same.' And the beating goes on...

What is wrong with the Nobel Committee?

My ancestors were poor farmer immigrants from Slovakia and Germany in the 1800s. They never owned slaves, but I still benefit from being a white descendent of white immigrants, and a white person. It's undeniable.

Eddie Smith @eddsmitty.bsky.social · 4d

It's hilarious that the same people who claim that their families never owned slaves and their family came here as immigrants get upset when someone posts the truth about America's racist & violent past.

Why do they agree to erase history they had nothing to do with? 🤔

MUST WATCH: They didn’t just burn Tulsa — they burned proof.

Black wealth. Black futures. Gone.
And now they’re banning books so you never learn it happened.

📚 ERASED tells the truth they’re scared of.

Read it before they erase that too: stan.store/gxldsociety/...

ERASED! A great book! A great title! How black America was cynically set back. Buy it before it gets cancelled

While directing a production at the Almeida Theatre which I produced, my dear friend Maya advised me: "When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time."
In this case the US electorate didn't and are now being served second helpings...

Problems become issues when you don't like the result

A picture speaks a thousand words and virtually impossible to erase...

I'm betting it's going to be rather difficult...

All her life Kate has been troubled by memories of a past she has never lived. When armed Russians attempt to abduct her from a street in London, she knows she must travel to Moscow to find the source of her memories.

One of the coffins should also contain the body of the title Leader of the Free World.

Remi Kapo @oluremi.bsky.social · 11d

Are you certain that's all?

Remi Kapo @oluremi.bsky.social · 11d

An excellent piece of research, Eddie. Thank you

🧵 There are many stories involving the Titanic; however, there are stories that remain untold. The story of Joseph Laroche deserves a movie of its own. He was the Titanic's only Black passenger.(cont)

157 of 193 UN member states now recognise Palestine as an independent state.

So why do they all sit back and wait as it’s levelled to the ground?

‘The Guardian should change its name to Pravda,’ says Boris Johnson.

Pravda means ‘truth’ in Russian

I bet the so-called Latin speaking Boris never figured out what Pravda means, because, I am reliably informed, he appeared to have a confusion about Truth. Apparently he still does, otherwise we the electorate would be a lot wiser about certain disappeared items

And did we ever learn about what happened to the £37 Billion from the Test and Trace Budget?

Remi Kapo @oluremi.bsky.social · Sep 8

As well as enslaving Africans, and exhibiting human zoos, I was reliably informed that that land once belonged to the Apache, Cherokee, Pawnee, Chumash et al? They don't look too free on reservations either...
