du Bois on the meaning of the end of slavery to the United States after the necessary bloodshed of the US civil war: “America’s one real gift to beauty”. Dreaming of the day someone writes something similar for Palestine. That day is coming.
"All that was Beauty, all that was Love, all that was Truth, stood on top of these mad mornings and sang with the stars. A great human sob shrieked in the wind, and tossed its tears upon the sea, - free, free, free.". W. E. B. Du Bois, 'Black Reconstruction', 1935

Watching ADCJ Madlanga's retirement this morning was so emotional. When I worked for him, 7 year years ago, I worried that he was responsible for too much, and looked to by too many people, and I promised myself I wouldn't be one of the clerks that hung around after Court to

So proud of my comrades in @TwinCitiesDSA for persuading Minneapolis's Democratic Party convention to resolve to oppose any investments by the City in the genocide, and to demand that party candidates support this position. A luta 🌹.
