In her Possible Futures entry, Kathleen Siminyu writes about creating an oral archive of her elders' knowledge.

"Dialects carry unique histories, proverbs, and ways of naming the world" she writes.

Profiles of two Black women, an elder with grey hair, and a young woman wearing cornrows, facing each other. The young woman is listening on her headphones. The headphones are plugged into an electronic device which also has the structure of a tree.

NEW: The never-before-told story of how CEOs inspired by the Powell Memo got the U.S. government to fund a huge ad campaign promoting capitalism & combating Americans' rising distrust of corporate power.

An excerpt of our new book MASTER PLAN in @prospect.org.

Get the book: LeverNews.com/book
The Ad Campaign for Capitalism
In the 1970s, corporate America struck back at the forces attempting to rein it in. One of their tactics was a public service announcement.

New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday.

Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”

This morning I was filming ICE abducting sometime in Petworth. One of the agents told me "the last US citizen that did this he put in cuffs all the way to the courtroom".

My latest is the story of how my community has rallied to protect and defend our neighbors in recent days, as ICE has targeted the Rogers Park neighborhood in Chicago. "This is not a story about a moment of victory, but a moment of being reminded of our power."

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Saleh al-Jafarawi, one of Gaza’s most beloved young journalists, was killed just days after celebrating the ceasefire.
Reports say he was shot by Israel-backed militias accused of looting aid and fueling chaos in Gaza.

By the time you get to the point where the Transportation Secretary is complaining about political protests, you know the administration is truly scared of the public backlash.

When an agreement was reached late last year it never made it beyond the first phase and then the Trumpanyahu administration declared a siege and resumed the killing.

The Gaza holocaust will be a litmus test for high-profile figures for decades. Everyone's comments or lack thereof on Israel's genocidal atrocities will be looked up and amplified whenever their name rises to public attention.

It will be the first step in determining whether anyone deserves to be listened to, taken seriously, or voted for. Their comments on Gaza in the mid-2020s will be the first gate through which they must pass to be considered worthy of attention by normal people.
