Mnangagwa doesn’t have the same energy for lip service to Palestine as Mugabe’s performances of revolutionary discourse. This diplomatic move would effectively be full normalization. No more state investment in the patriotic histories of struggle (though compensating whites would’ve told you that).

Superficially, the African Union has called for an end to normalization with and prosecution of Israel because of its genocidal violence in Gaza and withdrew observer status AT THE SAME TIME that too many of these states maintain strategic relations with Israel

It supported Rhodesian and apartheid South African militaries with both tactics and weaponry, further alienating it from the continent because of support for liberation struggles AND decolonization era solidarities with the Palestinian struggle.

I do NOT suggest NON-Black people learn AAVE. White—and other non-Black—queer folks are free to develop their own.

Not sure if you were confused, but that isn’t Jeffries—it’s Hakeem Jefferson (a poli sci prof).

Oh, lol! @hakeemjefferson.bsky.social is a gem, and has (mostly jokingly) written about being mistakes for Jeffries 😭

2/2: As a result, the feeling—and the reality—is that Drake’s in an insincere outsider to hip-hop who’s mined the genre for $$. Hence “colonizer.”

1/2: That’s NOT a reference to Drake’s Jewishness though! It’s a reference to his extractive relationship to hip-hop & its roots: hood (think: Compton; Drake’s not from the hood); poor(er) & working-class (≠ Drake’s pedigree); and very Black (Drake has tended to distance himself from his Blackness).
