None of this would be happening if DOJ had done its job 52 years ago.

Receipts: King at Ghana’s independence (1957) + his 1957 Lincoln Memorial address—global decolonization, not just 1963. Reduce him to “Dream” and you erase the anti-imperialist preacher. Study the colonies, not just the quote. #GlobalKing #DecolonizeMLK

Fort Sumter wasn’t about slavery—until it was. Lincoln defended federal property; the South saw in that flag a threat to its slave society. War began over sovereignty—and over who counted as property. #AAH #FortSumterTruth

Rogan’s “personal day” turned into a tRUmp taping—and a late-cycle endorsement. Harris accepted the terms; the door still closed. That’s not neutrality, that’s gatekeeping dressed as vibes. Platforms pick winners, then rewrite the invite. #MediaPower #ElectionTruth

Lincoln’s first inaugural wasn’t abolition—it was triage. He vowed not to “interfere” with slavery while pledging to save the Union. Freedom arrived later—forced by war, politics, and the enslaved themselves. #CivilWar #Reconstruction

In Phoenix, Harris stopped her speech to address Gaza protesters: “I’ll work on it full-time as president.” Hours later, 80+ killed—she called Israel to account. Not neutrality: moral navigation. #107Days #GazaInAmericanPolitics

Exactly. Scarcity rewires the body and the soul — famine doesn’t end when the food returns. You learn to ration trust, too. History remembers the hunger long after the harvest. #FoodJustice #CollectiveMemory

Harpers Ferry failed militarily, but Brown’s trial won the narrative. “To interfere for His despised poor…is no wrong, but right.” When a legal order defends bondage, defiance becomes witness. Martyrdom moved the nation toward reckoning. #Abolition #HarpersFerry

While Biden’s team fumbled, Black women like Minyon Moore and Maya Harris held the whole operation together. Not backup—infrastructure. Power runs on their readiness. #BlackWomenBuiltThis #PoliticalInfrastructure

“Border czar” was a smear. The brief was root-causes: $5.2B pledged, ~$1B moving, leverage on anti-corruption, and bilats from AMLO→Sheinbaum to Giammattei→Arévalo. Judge it by disbursement + outcomes, not cable-news optics. #LatinAmerica #Migration

John Brown wasn’t “crazy”—he answered proslavery terrorism with the only language America understood: force. While slaveholders burned towns, he was called mad for killing five. #BleedingKansas #AbolitionistClarity

750,000 died in 4 years—but the war over Black life began in 1619. The Civil War didn’t start at Fort Sumter; it started with the first auction block. #BlackFreedomStruggle #UnfinishedWar

Memphis task force harassment: ProPublica + MLK50 document Memphians—largely Black—reporting stops, intimidation, tear-gas incidents tied to the “Memphis Safe Task Force” (Nat. Guard/multi-agency mix). City data/local coverage show arrest surges; residents and electeds describe profiling and fear.

The Civil War asked: Who is American? Black soldiers answered with their lives—only to be told citizenship had limits. Freedom without power is fragile. #ReconstructionBetrayal #BlackCitizenship

Garner’s knife was one form of resistance. The other? Every stolen lesson, slowed hoe, hidden meeting. Black defiance was daily—not just dramatic. #EverydayResistance #AAHistory

Margaret Garner killed her daughter to spare her slavery. The law called her property—not a mother. Her choice laid bare slavery’s core truth: Black children were never safe, only owned. #GarnerTestimony #BlackMotherhoodUnderFire

"Go from among our oppressors”—Delany’s 1852 call wasn’t retreat. It was Black sovereignty as world-redemption. Not Liberia, not submission: self-determination in the diaspora. #DelanyDoctrine #BlackExitAsPower

Delany didn’t flee America—he exposed it. Co-founder of the North Star, he turned to Black-led emigration when he saw no future in a racist republic. First Black nationalist? Yes. Traitor? Never. #BlackNationalism #DelanyTruth

They gave Truth a fake dialect to make her safe. She spoke Dutch, then steel-sharp English. We speak truth the same way—precise, unasked, undeniable. #BlackPrecision #SankofaVoice

Sojourner Truth never said “A’n’t I a Woman?” in that voice—or likely at all. Gage invented a dialect to make her palatable. Truth spoke Dutch, then English—never stereotype. #BlackWomenArchives #TruthDistorted

Palestine isn’t a “dispute.” It’s a colonial war—waged by empires & Zionism—to take land from its people. Until we name it, we enable it. #DecolonizePalestine #KhalidiTruth

The 1948 expulsion—by Zionist militias, then Israel’s army—wasn’t war’s accident. It was the blueprint fulfilled. Over half of Palestine’s Arabs erased to secure a state. #Nakba #DecolonizeHistor
