Fred Hampton saw what unchecked power could do. He warned us anyway.

Black Panther leader and community organizer who built multiracial coalitions across race and class through the Rainbow Coalition and grassroots programs for change.

Noem’s statement should put us all on alert. It implies that the federal govt. should engineer outcomes of elections by choosing voters who will ensure THEIR preferred outcomes, rather than letting all eligible citizens participate freely. Sounds might white to me.

The acting chief of ICE admitted that federal immigration officers would have “no reason” to be at voting sites this November.

His comments contradict alarming statements by Trump that threaten the upcoming 2026 vote, which include the deployment of immigration officers to polling places.

Rubio Exposes His Cuntiness Publicly In Europe
@secrubio.govpeeps.us
During his speech in Munich over the weekend, Marco Rubio glossed over his Cuban heritage and only acknowledged alleged Italian and Spanish ancestors. Meanwhile, he used plenty of white Christian nationalist dog whistles.

Here's a breakdown of them.

the policing of Black expression. The story of the USS Sumter Three is part of a larger, often-erased history of Black service members resisting discrimination — and paying the price for it.

Their courage deserves to be remembered. ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

Mutiny is one of the most severe charges in the UCMJ.
It carries the possibility of execution. This was the first time since the Civil War that U.S. sailors or Marines had been charged with mutiny at sea. The three were shipped to Okinawa and held in the brig for months. (cont)

Yet when command decided to “restore order,” they singled out only three people: Jenkins, Barnwell, and Blackwell. All Black—and junior enlisted. They were labeled “ringleaders,” flown off the ship, and hit with three counts of mutiny and eleven counts of assault. (cont)

After the confrontation, White NCOs escalated things:
• Surprise inspections
• Punitive treatment
• Threats
• Food tampering
• Targeted harassment of Black Marines
Tensions boiled over into fights — involving multiple Marines on both sides. (cont)

But the song wasn’t the real issue. Black Marines had been dealing with harassment, unequal discipline, and open hostility for months. The music incident simply exposed the racial fault lines already running through the ship. (cont)

The Untold Story of the Black Marines Charged With Mutiny at Sea
In 1973, the House Armed Services Committe, led by a segregationist, believed that "reforms were the problem" in the wake of racial strife, notes Navy historian John Sherwood.

The spark came when Jenkins, who was serving as the ship’s DJ, played “White Man’s Got a God Complex” by The Last Poets over the ship’s PA system. White Marines erupted. Some demanded the music be shut off. Others confronted Jenkins directly. (cont)

In 1972, three young Black Marines aboard the USS Sumter were charged with mutiny — a capital offense.
Their names: PFC Alexander Jenkins Jr., PFC Alvin Barnwell, and PFC Louis Blackwell (below). Their “crime”? Challenging racism in the ranks.

Stay with me, friends. (cont)

🧵 Today, we're going to learn about The USS Sumter Three — and the mutiny charges that should never have happened. It's apropos for #BlackHistoryMonth—because most people never knew about it.

This isn’t funny! Time to end this!!! Call your GOP Senators & Reps and tell them “You’re fired”, before you find yourself living in Russia like America.

Call call calllllllllllll!
What is happening right now isn’t your typical GOP money grab.

It’s not a manufactured culture war issue for media cycles and attention.

It’s a seismic ideological shift and a restructuring of power that firmly establishes these oligarchs as an authoritarian ruling class.

Unless we stop them.
