For @cam.ac.uk's Exploring #LegaciesOfEnslavement Research Series, I show how #FreedomColonies were not just refuge from #JimCrow —they were governments. Land, kinship, institutions as a counter-sovereign #BlackPoliticalOrder inside the republic: www.legaciesofenslavement.cam.ac.uk/news/landed-...

Landed Blackness: Post-emancipation marronage and Black autonomy | Legacies of Enslavement

“The great appear great because we are on our knees. Let us rise”: a timely essay by his Irishness @fotoole.bsky.social on the project of imperialism and national vanity as lampooned in “Gulliver’s Travels.” www.nybooks.com/articles/202...

Gulliver’s Warning | Fintan O’Toole
Like Gulliver in Lilliput, “greatness” in the political realm depends on the existence of a group deemed puny or weak.

🤔Y'all let the most racist people in the world pick a president to be their "New Fuhrer." Their words. Because their New Fuhrer would get to pick their Supreme Court. In order to destroy Black voting power. So that they can enable ethnic cleansing and world war. What did y'all think would happen?

In 1841 Mary Richardson married John Jones of North Carolina. They carried free papers when they settled in Chicago & Mr. Jones established a successful tailoring business. Active in abolitionist politics & voting rights campaigns, they hosted & dressed John Brown & crew en route to Harper’s Ferry.

What made John Brown a great man was not actually that he was a "great" man. It was that he recognized himself as a regular man that rejected white supremacy. And was willing to die for that. That when he saw another Black face, he saw a human like himself. May 9, 1800 he was born
