The Trump administration wants to ban this photo, among others, to censor about slavery. Maybe time to post tonnes of links and photos of these atrocities?

Out of Context: The Maroons of Suriname
https://youtube.com/watch?v=9qcWBzpmP_s
"Deep within the rainforest of South America, live groups of people who have guarded their African traditions, language and spirituality for over two centuries. Known as Maroons, these escaped slaves defied a global empire to win their independence and become masters of their realm. Until recently, their lands were off-limits to outsiders, shrouded in mystery. Join us as we step into their world to tell the incredible story of the Maroons of Suriname.

Brutalised Africans made Glasgow
amazing disgrace, how sweet the civic amnesia…
mansions without plaques
unrevised street names
no memorial.
—Kate Tough, “People Made Glasgow”
“A contemporary sickness has its roots in unredressed wrongs”
Today, 23 August, is the International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade & its Abolition

Y'all think the "slavery's not so bad" stylings are aberrant.
Oh my sweet summer child, slavery is the entire and total wet dream of these ghouls.
That's your google, that's your microsoft, that's your OpenAI, that's every late stage extractive capitalist.
100% this. I would bet good money that the US will bring back(1) some form(s) of slavery. This has been the dream of these men since the start. I am wiling to be that women will lose the vote and a whole lot else, too.

(1) Not counting prison slavery that is legal and currently practiced
"It’s an especially striking counterpoint to President Biden, who credited Black women with his 2020 victory and made a point of breaking the glass ceiling for them during his presidency with the appointments of people like Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court and Cook to the Federal Reserve Board."

U.S. President Donald Trump suggested on Tuesday he will pressure the Smithsonian Institution to accept his demands, just like he did with universities by threatening to cut federal funding. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/08/20/world/politics/trump-smithsonian-slavery/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #us #donaldtrump #republicans #slavery #museums
"Saying ‘both sides are the same,’ when one side is a lie and the other the truth, always promotes the lie and degrades the truth. Thus, attempts to create contexts in which both sides are essentially just opposite views of entirely equal value should always be understood as attempts to disguise a lie."

"or if hungry people should have food, or if thirsty people should have water, or if disabled people should have access to buildings, we have already lost.
Those things don’t go on the table. Because once they are on they are on the table, they have entered the realm of the things we consider."

"If we are debating whether there should be a Muslim ban, or whether or not health care should be kept from the poor, or whether gay people should be banned from marriage, or black people killed by cops, or if women should be paid the same or not, or if Native Americans and descendants of slaves deserve reparation for systemic and ongoing theft,"

stole your meme and changed it because USA has always had concentration camps due to the fact #slavery is enshrined in the #USA #constitution under the guise of #prisons.
without prisons, the USA oligarchy, and their parasitic economy, would crumble. yes, even the war machine would come down crashing without the prison plantation system, prisoner slave labor, the cops framing people to fill up prisons, and their quota ennabling paramilitarization.
