The image is mightier than the sword. The manipulation of the image is narrative control at its most fundamental levels. #VisualCulture

Recorded this day, 1971: The Miles band's European tour arrives in Dietikon for two concerts. The late show finds the band completely transformed, hitting its stride magnificently. How this one was passed over for release is baffling- it's one of the great Miles shows!

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

Typical unearned white boy privilege. The fact that he thinks he can stand there and racially profile someone when he’s clearly breaking the law says everything we need to know about these ICE 🐷🐷🐷. How many Black men have been beaten or killed for less?

Some of the best news this year is that #AssataShakur joined the honored ancestors as a FREE African living in Cuba. Lying FBI Cointelpro fascists lose and Assata WINS!
