Robin DG Kelley on the poetry of aja monet (1:05:33) "This is what makes the poems so powerful and dangerous. Like violets pushing through concrete to kiss the sun, or unarmed people, arms locked, chanting and singing, forcing armies to retreat." www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBoQ...

Het hele idee dat een 'we' zelf mag en moet bedenken wat die met 'migratie' wil, is de raciale grond waarop alle lulkoek die doorgaat voor 'democratie' gebaseerd is. Iedereen die daaraan meedoet (en dat doen 'we' allemaal wel een beetje) is bezig de hak in de nek van anderen te houden.

Every MLK day I post what I consider to be Dr. King’s most powerful speech: “Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence,” April 4, 1967. The late Vincent Harding wrote much of it, as he himself told me years ago. Here is the prophetic voice at the peak of its power. www.youtube.com/watch?v=E48E...

Such an important and thoughtful piece, by @arthurasseraf.bsky.social in @jewishcurrents.bsky.social "How can we prevent our own history of departure from being twisted to support the ongoing colonization of Palestine?" jewishcurrents.org/the-algeria-...

The Algeria Analogy

We must turn to histories of decolonization not in order to predictoutcomes, but to expand our sense of how to fight without knowing the future.

Beautiful piece by @mollycrabapple.bsky.social “The rebel dead are not so easy to silence. Not in the forests of Eastern Europe, and not in mutilated Gaza. Their words bleed into the present, where they can be used by the living to create another world.” thefunambulist.net/magazine/the...

🔥 New episode, with @miriammthsn.bsky.social, on Abandoned Seafarers 🔥 The abandonment of seafarers is not ‘an accident’, but a result of how shipping industries are set up, and of how borders are made to facilitate the accumulation of capital, while creating a class of disposable labor
