Before the Nakba, there were books in Jaffa. Music in Haifa. Students in Jerusalem. Orchards in Galilee. Cafés in Ramallah. They didn’t erase emptiness—they erased abundance. Every face is testimony. Every archive, refusal.

They didn’t raise their hands because they wanted the South to win — they raised them because a white preacher made it clear: dissent could get you killed.

But think about it, would you prefer homelessness over enslavement?

Terror disguised as prayer. Coercion masquerading as faith.
Screenshot of the Equal Justice Initiative’s “Reconstruction in America” digital exhibit, Chapter 1: Journey to Freedom. The background is stark black with white text centered on the page, framed by generous margins. At the top, the EJI logo appears on the left, with navigation links “Resources” and “Share” on the right. Beneath the chapter title is a large quotation in bold, serif type. The quote reads: “Just before the war, a white preacher, he come to us slaves and says: ‘Do you want to keep your homes where you get all to eat, and raise your children, or do you want to be free to roam around without a home, like the wild animals? If you want to keep your homes you better pray for the South to win. All that wants to pray for the South to win, raise your hand.’ We all raised our hands ‘cause we was scared not to, but we sho’ didn’t want the South to win.” Below the quote is the name and attribution in small text: “Mr. William M. Adams — Formerly enslaved in Texas.” A thin red line sits just above the name as a decorative divider. The left side of the screen shows a minimal navigation menu with several unfilled circular markers, indicating sections of the exhibit. The overall mood of the page is solemn and reflective, emphasizing the coercion, terror, and false “choice” described in the firsthand testimony.

Stephen Miller aka General Hux. Note the white power hand signals.
A pale-skinned man in a stark black military-style uniform stands in front of a massive red draped backdrop. His expression is tense and intense, teeth clenched slightly as he speaks. The glossy black hat and angular shoulder flares give his silhouette a sharp, authoritarian look. Out-of-focus uniformed figures stand behind him, enhancing the militaristic, propaganda-like atmosphere of the scene.

Pete Hegseth didn’t authorize a strike. He authorized a murder. I wore the uniform; I know the difference. Two unarmed men in the water is not a “target,” it’s a crime scene. And this dude struts around with a flag pocket square like a Macy’s mannequin auditioning for valor.

Time to spend all day watching movies!

Alien (1979)

An absolute classic, one of my favorites. Scifi Horror at its best.
HR Giger's design is awe inspiring, Weaver is powerful force. Wonder and terror awaits.

We're watching all of them today though. Join me, won't you? Who else is a fan?

Black Codes didn’t “restore order.” They rebuilt slavery with paperwork — criminalizing rest, movement, labor, even childhood. Freedom was legal in theory, illegal in practice. New shackles, same fear of Black autonomy. #ReconstructionTruth #AbolitionLogic
A solemn, high-contrast illustration in sepia, slate gray, and burnt umber portrays a symbolic scene about the oppressive legacy of the post–Civil War Black Codes. In the foreground lies a heavy broken iron chain, its worn links etched with terms such as “Vagrancy Laws,” “Apprenticeship,” “Labor Contracts,” and “Curfews.” The metal looks aged and battered, and a single light source from the upper left casts long, dramatic shadows that make the chain feel both threatening and newly disrupted, as though snapped through resistance. Next to the chain stands the silhouette of an adult Black figure with obscured features—gender-neutral and anonymous to avoid likeness. Their slightly bowed head and relaxed hands suggest a mix of vigilance, exhaustion, and reflection. They face toward the distance, as if weighing the burden of these laws and the ongoing struggle to live beyond them. In the mid-ground, several more adult silhouettes appear, also faceless. One holds a book, symbolizing restricted literacy and tightly controlled learning; another carries a work tool tied to coerced labor and binding contracts; a third stands near a simple plow, referencing the agricultural servitude enforced by apprenticeship laws. Their poses communicate how ordinary life was constrained by legal control rather than open physical chains. Behind them stretches a faded, tattered American flag with muted stars and stripes, representing a nation declaring freedom while enforcing racial discipline. Layered faintly over the flag is a ghosted map of the Southern states with thin radiating lines forming a web, suggesting how Black Codes spread through bureaucratic networks. The composition blends documentary realism with symbolic imagery to show how oppression operated through paperwork, statutes, and surveillance as much as through force.

NC isn’t “red” — it’s being carved that way. These maps split Black communities just to predetermine power. Barber calls it political violence, and he’s right. Democracy can’t breathe when the lines themselves are rigged. #VoterJustice #StopTheMaps

U.S. forces didn’t “interdict” — they executed. Survivors burned in the water because Hegseth said “kill them all.” When drug runners become “combatants” by decree, law dies first. Empire always tells on itself. #WarCrimesWatch

The first Black revolt in the Americas wasn’t Havana or Haiti — it was Santo Domingo, 1521. Christmas night, Africans rose up, armed themselves, and terrified the colony so deeply Spain invented its first “Black Code.” Our resistance is older than their laws. #1521Revolt #AtlanticTruth

In the preface to Charle L. Black Jr.'s "Impeachment", Max Glutman's studies on the Barotse society are mentioned.

Historical black and white photograph depicting a group of joyful young men gathered closely together in front of a grand building with columns and a flagpole, reminiscent of mid-20th century American architecture. The men are dressed in a mix of casual and athletic attire, suggesting a social or sporting event. The overall mood is one of camaraderie and celebration.

People act like ‘The Diversity Myth’ was just campus commentary. It was white supremacy dressed as scholarship, the early blueprint for today’s anti-DEI, anti-Black backlash.

Nobody should have to prove they’re human. Birth is enough. Systems that demand paperwork for dignity are confessing their own failure. We are sacred before we are documented. #BirthrightHumanity #SovereignSoul
A digital mixed-media portrait of a young Black person staring directly at the viewer with a calm, unflinching expression. Warm golden light glows from the center of their chest, illuminating their face and upper body. They hold a torn bureaucratic document in both hands, symbolizing rejection of imposed proof. The background is textured with faded paperwork and subtle blue digital glitches. Bold distressed text overlays the image, reading: “Birth is enough. Sovereignty needs no signature. Humanity requires no permission.”
