"[America] loves him dead because dead men don’t organize. Dead men don’t shut down streets. Dead men don’t boycott, don’t strike, don’t disrupt, and don’t demand redistribution of wealth. Dead men don’t call out Empire and don’t name white supremacy. Dead men don’t link racism to capitalism and militarism in the same damn breath."

A sermon for the ages right here. And most definitely for RIGHT NOW.

I’m looking for a fully remote, project-based strategy / admin or communications role on #criptime alongside a values-aligned visionary where quality is at the heart of the operations.

I thrive doing the slow, foundational work of asking questions, independently researching, + identifying sustainable solutions that support backend organization and humanize the exchange of services.

please boost me to the ones not pretending everything is fine for profit! 🙂

Happy New Year! Today is also Imani (Faith), the last day of #Kwanzaa which we have been celebrating as a community since the day after Christmas. We gathered and ate food from the African diaspora: jollof rice, jerk chicken, etc. I also made the unity cup for the Kwanzaa table this year decorated with black, red and green foraged clays. It’s easy to identify what we’re against but celebrating the principles of Kwanzaa reminds us what we need more of in 2026 and beyond. #BlackFedi

A few of us who have been attending the Kwanzaa celebration all week decided to take a photo together after we ate. There are five of us standing in a row, four Black people and one Asian woman. The sky is blue behind us.

@mekkaokereke Here's an update you'll like: the satirical Dutch newsprograms 'Even tot hier' ('Up until here') has placed duplicate panels just outside the US controlled grounds, including panels about Trumps discriminatory executive orders, and spelled out the name William F. James Junior in hay bales in an adjacent field. Unfortunately, all panels were soon removed by the police; they are now looking for a permanent location. #BlackLivesMatter #BlackLiberators #Margraten #Veterans #BlackFedi

4 media

Copies of the two panels honouring the black liberators in Margraten, which were removed by the Trump administration, can be seen just after being revealed. They are placed to the sides of a gravel path with a field (part of the Margraten war cemetary) to the left and some barren trees to the right. A military trumpetist playing 'Taptoe' (similar to Taps) stands between the two panels.

A panel describing the removal of the Black Lives Matter Street painting: The text reads: "Black Lives Matter. March 2025. In Washington, D.C., under heavy Republican pressure, the Black Lives Matter street painting which has been there since the violent death of George Floyd in 2020 is being removed. The removal was ordered by Mayor Bowser after the Republican Party threatened to withhold millions of dollars in federal support. The panels show a photo of the street painting, as well as a photo of Trump holding up a signed document (an executive order, I assume). Behind the panel, out of focus, you see the 8288 white crosses of the Margraten War Cemetary - officially called the Netherlands American Cemetery and Memorial, and the trees surrounding them.

Part of a panel, describing how 'the Pentagon is removing articles about black, indigenous, LGBTQ+ and female veterans from its website.

So the US recently forced the Dutch to remove a memorial to America's own Black soldiers that died liberating the Netherlands from the nazis? On brand. [Edit: the cemetery is US government controlled, and the US forced its own employees to remove the memorial plaques. The Dutch government had no opportunity to oppose the decision.]

Towards the end of WW2, the French were shocked when the US refused to let its own Black soldiers join the celebration of the liberation of Paris.

The 761st Tank Battalion was an all Black tank unit that served with distinction as part of Pattons 3rd army. They killed a lot of nazis, and liberated over 30 French towns, and much of the Netherlands.

If you saw their Black Panther logo? It was all over for you. Black Panther beats German Panzer.

These elite Black soldiers racked up victories.

But they weren't immortal, and they didn't have superior weapons to either the Germans or white American soldiers. They were just brave. Many Black soldiers died freeing Europe from the nazis.

Europeans were grateful.

Racist Americans? Not so much.

Soldiers from the 671 Tank Battalion sit on their tank during world war 2. All soldiers are Black.
