25 years ago today, George W. Bush signed the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force into law. Barbara Lee was the only member of Congress to vote against it, warning it would be a blank check for forever wars. History has proven her lonely and courageous vote right.

We Can’t Let the Kaepernick Era Be Erased From History
Critics say the Black Lives Matter movement in sports went too far. In reality, it didn’t go far enough, and the backlash to it has been brutal.

If you never read my essay on guns in Black southern culture in @newrepublic.com I encourage you to read it now. I'm getting together a portfolio to submit to something & re-read it. It's super relevant for Black southerners now in the wake of our current lynching epidemic. @solomonrmissouri.com

I’m reading There Is No Place for Us, by @brian-goldstone.bsky.social and one thing keeps hitting me over and over: Homelessness is rarely a single event. It’s a cascade. A cancer diagnosis. A lost job. Depression. A missed paycheck. A broken car. A wait for mental healthcare. An eviction. 🧵

All of the globe must know Americans are themselves victims of American empire so that they don’t have unrealistic expectations of our actual agency in influencing our government’s activity as the people, it’s oppressing us differently.

Everyone needs to realize that Americans are the victims of American empire. Even at the level of the brainwashing they receive that makes them feed into it. It’s easy to know if you’re Black. All Americans must know, so that we understand our solidarity with those impacted globally by imperialism.

I see the white people putting their bodies on the line fighting ICE! I see y'all & that's the real work. The real work is also deconstructing your minds so that you can truly interact with people of color with real parity, & the majority of white people miserably fail.

Tips for interacting with your neighbors experiencing homelessness:
• Remember that they are deserving of dignity and respect
• Acknowledge them, make eye contact and introduce yourself
• Be respectful of their belongings
• Remember that homelessness is a
trauma
• Don't assume that you know what they need
• Ask if they are all right and feel safe
• Start your conversation the same way you would with anyone else
• Remember there are many reasons
people experience homelessness
• Let them know you wish them wellAzie Dungey @AzieDee
Ok, hear me out. No one goes back to work. We turn office buildings into housing for the homeless with mental health and other services. Others become free mental health clinics, free student housing, and
greenhouses. The rest we tear down and plant Indigenous trees and plants!

Newsflash, homeless people don't have to be swept! They can stay wherever they figured they can set themselves up to survive. They ended up there because they were pushed out of housing by hard times. It doesn't matter how unsightly these real humans who are suffering are to you! Deal.

So I'm an abolitionist & think we should work for a world without jails. When we point out elite impunity, the question is why ARE there jails if you don't have to go to them if you're rich & powerful, & they're just filled with people without resources.

Today, I had a white American liberal tell me that "no revolution has ever succeeded through violent means" and I wanted to knock them unconscious. Dude said that the "only way to defeat fascism is at the ballot." I mean, at this point, you've gotta conclude that liberals are stupid, right?

Gosh, I hate how heavily propagandised and brainwashed Americans, especially their liberal and conservative imperialist leaders use the word "communist". In America, the word “communist” has been twisted to mean the same thing as “fascist,” “Islamic extremist,” “oligarch,” or “terrorist.”

Whenever Dr Oz says Medicaid doesn’t “get its money’s worth” or people must “prove they matter” to qualify… just remember this is a strategy. They want you to blame disabled and poor people for high taxes. They want us to take the blame so they can get richer. Don’t let them get away with it!

Disability is not something to be afraid of. It’ll happen to most of us eventually. The human body is frail. It breaks down. We age. We get sick. We have accidents. It’s part of life. It’s not a moral failing. Engage with us. Learn. We all benefit from disability justice.
