We have a relationship with the land and with Mother Earth that precedes money, goods and services, revenue and production values. We are the land.

Is everyone aware of the volume and extent (relentless) of violence that is intrinsic in what is so-called “normal”?

This lie of “points to a suicide” is only possible and only works on a population that is so invested in ignorance that they either don’t know or don’t care about history.
Black men don’t lynch themselves. Not today and not ever.

Tory Medley, 39, was found dead hanging from a tree on the morning of November 13, 2025, at the Brookfield Hills Golf Course near I-94 and Moorland Road in Brookfield, Wisconsin. Although the case remains open, Brookfield police say their investigation “points to a suicide.”

How do we maintain our Psychic Militancy amid the "ceasefire" in Gaza? How do we maintain it when we face repression for organizing or taking a stand?
We'll talk to Dr. Lara Sheehi on @makcapitalism.bsky.social about that and more Wednesday at 10 AM ET -

Cancer drug Revlimid is one of the bestselling pharmaceutical products of all time, with total sales of over $100 billion.
It’s also extraordinarily expensive, costing nearly $1,000 for each pill, even though that pill costs just 25 cents to make.

The Price of Remission: This Cancer Drug Saves Lives — but Costs a Fortune. I Wanted to Know Why.
When I was diagnosed with cancer, I set out to understand why a single pill of Revlimid cost the same as a new iPhone. I’ve covered high drug prices as a reporter for years. What I discovered shocked ...

The new De La Soul album is dope. Difficult to listen to at times, the grief in Pos’ voice is heavy at times. And if that grief can be heard, I can only imagine what it’s like from that side of things. The De La flavor is there though. The Posdnuos wisdom is there. Royally produced too.

I saw a video where the person read Juelz Santana lyrics with a preface: do these sound the lyrics of someone who reads?
I mean I’ve heard better examples of his lyrics but reading them without music made them seem terrible.
Respect to the producers.

One thing in my poetry practice I love is that I started journaling this year. Diary-ing. Whatevah. There is a certain freedom to the format and also a good way to chart evolution / growth in looking back at previous entries. I’ve laughed. I’ve cried. It’s good.
