As we get closer to Martin Luther King, Jr's birthday, it's important to show that The Black Panthers provided 20,000 free meals per week. Capitalists & J Edgar Hoover saw this as a threat
We need to revive these sort of social services and rise against fascist authoritarians by any means necessary

If you are taking a break from politics during the holiday, good for you. There is nothing to feel guilty about.
If you re-center what you love, you will remember why you fight.

For years, former Black Panthers have feared that the FBI is still keeping tabs on them decades after its notorious COINTELPRO program.
Malik Rahim had never been able to prove he was targeted. Now, government docs show he was correct.

No. Anti-Blackness says everything about them and nothing about me, my inherent value or god-given dignity. Failure to see that is their sin.
Has America ever made you hate being black? Honest question

In A Litany for Survival, Audre Lorde told us that the time for marginalized people to speak about our experiences is now because we were never meant to survive. Speaking publicly about our desires, joys, pleasures, pains, and power in a world that would rather see us gagged is a political act.
