Communities being occupied is nothing new to African Americans. An irony that we have long endured — armed surveillance, economic containment, and state neglect — is now expanding to encompass poor white and brown communities, and, in a final irony, America itself. open.substack.com/pub/floydweb...

Step into the archive of the future. In this edition of A Different Lens, I trace the roots of Black speculative fiction from Huts of America to the radical worlds of Octavia Butler and N.K. Jemisin—showing how the Black imagination has always been a tool of liberation, not escape. This isn’t just about stories—it’s about strategy, survival, and the futures we’re building right now. Read on, and see what happens when vision becomes praxis.

Next time some of your young folk say stupid stuff like “we not our ancestors.” Show them this. Milwaukee 1967. We went toe toe, went to jail and some of us died. #resistance

Our comrade. Cha Cha Jimenez has passed away today. José "Cha Cha" Jiménez (born August 8, 1948) is a political activist and the founder of the Young Lords Organization, a Chicago-based street gang that became a civil and human rights organization. Started in September 23, 1968. He’ll be missed.

There’s a #DonOLDsaur coming to the White House, His extinction is imminent. His power is waning, his best absurd days behind him. The hyenas are gathering at the smell of his rotting decline, nipping at his shanks. His gangrenous herd will devour him as they foul the land.

I nominate Yosemite Sam for head of national defense. It’s no more absurd than anyone else who’s been chosen. #dafookreygwaninamurkha

Does anybody know what time the UFO sky battle/invasion starts today. I’m anxious to find out if this is entertainment or conspiracy theories rather than fact. I admit, it is a great distraction. Will this be the day the earth got bass?
I predicted this in 2014!🤣🤣🤣

On December 3, I am finally able to reveal my true identity. I have lived among you for many years and now the UFO onslaught begins. Only the most worthy among you will survive, and they are cats and their pet owners. #dec3 ##ufo alieninvasion
Me without my human disguise.

There was a time I carried my Nikkormat camera everywhere, always with a 28mm lens, and a 200mm. It was all I needed. Probably from my first anti-police brutality protest. I got attacked. Stay mobile, light. I was 15. Chicago, uptown. By the time I was 20, I left the country. I had a skill.

Someone asked me about my work as a photographer when I was a member of ASMP. A century ago. I travelled so much, major vagabond. Lost a lot of stuff pursuing the next thing. So I’ll share 10 of my oldest images. #photography #persitentvision #fwphotos
