Today I gave a presentation to @CBCFInc on a term I refer to as #DigitialRedlining from my own academic, critical race research in housing & history by the way data is used to profile users, & engage in discriminatory practices of perpetuating racial, gender, sexual, or....
Nikki Giovanni, revolutionary poet and voice of Black resilience, has died at 81. Her words inspired generations and will continue to echo through time.

The auction of the shield by @NEAuctioneers was cancelled after a request from the government of #Ethiopia and media exposure. It was acquired by the Royal Ethiopia Trust and restituted today to the people of Ethiopia.
After 156 years #shield looted by the British #Magdala Expedition returns to #Ethiopia thanks to the Royal Ethiopian Trust; welcomed by patriots at the National Museum. @OpenRestitution @ArtRestitution @UKinEthiopia @EthioHeritage @Heritagewatch
Those who colonized the whole world are trying to convince us that resistance to colonialism is terrorism.
colonialism is not a historical event with a start and end date, it is a series of systems and processes that have been operating for centuries and continues to govern the lives of many in the global periphery decolonisation is not an abstract, it is the future, it is survival

My painting inspired by Marcellus Williams & all of our martyrs
Marcellus Williams son: "I already put it in my body, that I would be witness to this execution. I'm going to stand firm, and show my dad he's not alone."
My heart breaks hearing Marcellus Williams’ son talk about potentially having to watch his father executed today 💔
Thank you for allowing me to tell my side
Cornell PhD student @MomodouTaal attended a pro-Palestine protest of a campus job fair where weapons manufacturers were recruiting. Out of more than 100 participants, he appears to be the only one suspended by the university—and it could cost him his visa. rollingstone.com/culture/cultur…
“If Cornell deports @MomodouTaal, we deem it an unsafe space for all Black students” — new statement from @Cornell’s Black Students United
Remember that it is not, or at least has not, been considered normal for a state to slaughter 500 people in a day, to bomb ambulances, and to kill children and civilians so grotesquely. Then again, we have had a genocide live-streamed before our eyes involving the starvation and…

health in america is so bad cus here you’ll be making a salad thinking you’re doing good and then there’ll be a recall on the lettuce
Haitians: had a slave revolt Americans: they genocided whites
I don’t think humanity will ever mentally comprehend how deeply traumatic this is. Seeing these images on a daily basis isn’t normal. Something is very wrong with the state of modern humanity.

My mom has Alzheimer's, but she was an award-winning teacher for 30yrs. Lately, she wakes up and gathers things to go to work. Her AM nurse started giving her printing emails to edit. "Grading papers" is her new joy. I thank God for her and her caregivers. Joy is always possible.
Absolutely horrifying. Arab civilians and children are not destined to be slaughtered. They are being killed by Israel because Western leaders have decided to do nothing to stop the genocide in Gaza.
Western press is largely complicit with Israeli genocide and now attacks against Lebanon. These are not “evacuation warnings”, they are justification for mass war crimes and forced displacement of civilian population. Do your fucking job and report honestly
It is always about water & it always will be. It is always about water as tool of power & oppression where marginalized communities suffer the most. Studying water crises for decades has shown me that all things lead back to water. With climate change, water crises will worsen.
The Navajo Nation uses the least amount of water per person of anyone in the U.S.—and pays the most. Inside the struggle over America's most essential resource: ti.me/4eeuEzB
