The suffering of a disabled person only matters when they want to die, but not when they want to live.

The number of economically secure, able-bodied liberals whose response to hearing that economically insecure, disabled people are coerced verbally and/or systemically to accept MAID is "LIES. NEVER HAPPENS" is staggering.

Able-bodied people who aren't in economic precarity need to SHUT THE FUCK UP about how essential it is that the government prioritize maximizing access to medicalized suicide while it is busy gutting access to hospice, disability support services, & eldercare.

Being accused of shoplifting is not a death sentence. Being the child of someone accused of shoplifting is not a death sentence. A one-year-old is dead because police decided to open fire into a vehicle knowing a Black child was inside.

If you call the police because you *think* you saw a mom stealing diapers, you deserve to go to hell

From 1804 to Juneteenth, the struggle continues. As Haiti takes the world stage against Brazil on June 19, we honor the revolutionary legacy of the first Black republic and the ongoing fight for Black liberation, sovereignty, and self-determination.

Anyone depending on the disability system to be a true safety net is in for a very rude awakening. The disability system in the US is designed to make you homeless & destitute. Its a travesty.

Rest in power, Walter Rodney, who joined the ancestors on 13th June 1980. Walter Rodney turned the world order on its head by delivering a correct analysis of the roots of underdevelopment. He understood the dialectical relationship between Africa's underdevelopment and Europe's emergence as a world power. In his magnum opus, 'How Europe Underdeveloped Africa,' Rodney explained that prior to the European Slave Trade, Africa and Europe did not necessarily have a huge gap in their internal development relative to the needs of the people living in various African and European societies. However, through the slave trade, colonialism, and neo-colonialism, a massive developmental gap was created between Europe and Africa that exists to the present. In addition to working as a scholar and a historian, Walter Rodney was a revolutionary involved in the struggle. Born in Guyana, he studied at the University of the West Indies (UWI) in Jamaica before completing his PhD at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) in the United Kingdom. He then moved to Tanzania to teach in what was then a socialist country led by Julius Nyerere. He also went back to Jamaica to teach at the University of the West Indies. In 1974, Walter Rodney went back to Guyana to teach African history. He also got involved in political organising with the Working People’s Alliance. Guyana's leader, Forbes Burnham, marked Rodney as a threat. On 13 June 1980, Walter Rodney was assassinated when his car was bombed while he was driving. He passed away at the age of 38.

Be like Africans of the region who just say "Congo Kinshasa" vs "Congo Brazzaville" to tell you which Congo they mean.

This is fascinating & something I didnt know. I need more info on this & these articles are tip of the iceberg I suspect philadelphia.today/2026/05/h… and inquirer.com/opinion/comment…

I get your point and I don’t even disagree I just think 1. This is an issue that exists online more than in real life 2.instead of focusing on celebration and preserving culture I see people being ignorant, xenophobic and divisive and I will never stand for that.

Black Americans celebrate Juneteenth because it was the day we all could officially say we were free. It has relevance to the whole group, with a specific relevance to Texans. That’s why it has meaning outside of black American Texans. That’s also why you’ll see Texans with a unique celebration for Juneteenth (whether that is official or not idk, but I’ve seen it). You can be a black person in America that is not a “black American” and participate in/celebrate Juneteenth, nobody should have a problem with that. The problem that people are speaking on (which to be clear, is not my experience personally) is that other cultural experiences are encroaching on ours via music, food, marketing for Juneteenth but not accommodating black Americans, and that is not right. I don’t even understand why people don’t agree tbh.

Diaspora wars would lessen if we studied our histories of slavery/maafa, colonisation, liberation movmnt building, independence & recent history of empire. Just because we're cousins doesnt give us license to be rude/belittling. Panafricanism requires mutual respect & solidarity.

Emancipation Day in the Caribbean is a largely Pan-African affair in which representatives from Africa are invited to the Caribbean for the purpose of establishing stronger political and economic connections. It's also an occasion to promote black businesses and artists across the region. Certain people are trying to turn Juneteenth into a tool to not only promote division, but to distract from activities which would actually be more beneficial and productive for African American communities.

There is a big difference between co-opting & partying in solidarity & celebration. As far as I know in NYC everybody is partying with everybody: USian, Caribbean & African. For Juneteenth, Labor Day, independence days etc.
