Yesterday we lost Assata Shakur— a giant in the history of the Black freedom struggle and movements for socialism.
Standing in Oakland this summer at the Women of the Black Panther Party mural, I pointed to Assata Shakur’s words: “We have nothing to lose but our chains.”
Rest in power. ✊🏾🖤

✊🏾🌹 Honored to have an essay in the new book, “A User’s Guide to DSA: 5 Debates That Define the Democratic Socialists.”
I argue that the struggle for socialism must center Black liberation—drawing on CLR James, the Combahee River Collective, Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor.

We can’t fight what we refuse to name.
Fascism grows in the shadows of silence, censorship, and the violence of organized forgetting.
Grateful to the @zinnedproject.bsky.social for continuing to arm educators and students with the tools to understand—and defeat—fascism.

🔥Still buzzing from my convo w/ Boots Riley at #Socialism2025.
We talked art, communism & revolution—and he was into my book Teach Truth (even caught the “Heven Tonite” lyric I quoted).
Grateful for the brilliance & the laughs. Can’t wait for his new film “I Love Boosters”!

#Trump tweed a statement that’s a quote attributed to the dictator Napoleon.
Napoleon seized power in a coup.
History warns us what happens when a leader believes they are the law. #NapoleonComplex
