New York Reparations Activists Call On Governor To Back Reparations Legislation - Black Star News
Activists in New York demand that the governor support reparations legislation to address historical injustices faced by the community. New York.
We need to fix inequality, not allow the MAGA regime and the wealthy, white few to lock them into place.
We demand leaders who will reckon with our history and make Wall St pay and return what they stole from Black, brown, and Indigenous New Yorkers. blackstarnews.com/activists-ca...

This is what courage looks like. Bravo and thank you @repyassansari.bsky.social.
Only authoritarians win in war; we must find ways to be in solidarity with freedom fighters that enable their liberation.

If you’re worried about Trump sending slave patrol 2.0 onto our streets, you should be concerned about him bombing Iran.
Everyday people in Iran & in the service will bear the brunt all so this MAGA murder regime can seize more power.
This is an old playbook. We must stand up & refuse to comply.

Trump is erasing history so he can whitewash the future of America.
The regime wants to use US's 250th anniversary to justify taking away hard-won civil rights and freedoms, denying birthright citizenship to Black and brown Americans, and terrorizing our communities with modern-day slave patrols.

Left-wing plumber helps Greens sink ruling Labour and far-right in surprise U.K. election win
The victory for Hannah Spencer, a plumber before she entered politics, complicates the wider narrative of a surge by nationalist populists backed by the Trump administration.
“I won’t accept this victory tonight without calling out… divisive figures who constantly scapegoat & blame our communities for all the problems in society. My Muslim friends & neighbors are just like me: human.”
Instead of blaming immigrants, the Greens won by rightly directing ire at the 1%.

This is exactly why we must continue pressuring our institutions to reject Trump-Crow's agenda whether it be whitewashing or the slave patrol 2.0.

Abolitionists won birthright citizenship.
Civil rights leaders rewrote white only immigration quotas & paved the way to Medicare.
Black freedom has always benefited all
When we believe support for one must come at the expense of another, we fall for violent myths/traps set by white supremacists

Trump turned the SOTU into a Klan rally for hateful losers. Democrats shouldn't have attended. Media shouldn't have broadcast it.
This is how he wants to use the platform of America's 250th - to lock in a white supremacist future. We must refuse to give the regime this spotlight.

Rest in power, Jesse Jackson.
Jackson unified communities across the country in the struggle for Black liberation.
Though he has passed, his work lives on through each and every one of us, so we must take the baton and continue to organize for repair and equality to honor his legacy.

i think jesse jackson was one of the most important american political figures of the post-war era and i think that his 1984 and 1988 campaigns for the democratic nomination still have a great deal to teach about forging a path to a more egalitarian world. RIP.

The way to an America that lives up to its ideals isn’t by sidelining the truth, it’s by reckoning with our whole history, righting longstanding wrongs, and stepping into the shoes of the Americans who fought to make freedom and equality real for all no matter our races, backgrounds, or genders.

The MAGA regime is set on erasing all the history that doesn’t validate their narrow white supremacist agenda. But Trump’s vision of our country isn’t our past, and we don’t have to let it be our future.

Because we raised our voices, the courts just repeated our demands for the regime to reinstate the whole history at the President’s House. Now we are calling on people of conscience to refuse to participate in Trump’s anti-American, whitewashed 250th and instead, embrace our whole history.

This President’s Day, members of our Philly pod came to Independence Park where the MAGA regime recently tried to erase the history of enslavement, to make it loud and clear that The Dirty Business of Slavery Cannot Be Erased.
What we fail to repair, we repeat.
