In book contract news, There Are Black People in the Past: Reclaiming Our Time in Human Rights centers the marginalized histories of Black peoples' rights priorities, disrupts standard human rights accounts, & considers the repressive + radical power of rights. Live footage me rn

The world worth fighting for is a radically different world altogether. My latest, Pax Americana: How Not to Hide an Empire, reconsiders foundational myths about the U. S., the role of the law, the rule-based international order, and Pax Americana’s upholding of it. Avaialble 👇🏿.
[1/2] Pax Americana and the rules-based international order have always been built on flawed foundations, writes @matiangai. “The world worth fighting for is a radically transformed one.”

VP Harris didn't use imagery of Condoleezza Rice but her 2.0 run invoked Rice's legacy in power, more than the politics of Fannie Lou Hamer or Shirley Chisholm. Once you see it you won't unsee it. Someone with more skills than me can make the meme. Can't empathize with that 🤷🏿♀️.
Every Black woman in America empathizes with Kamala right now. Overwhelming qualified. Still doubted.

I think when this country shows you who it is time and time again you should believe it. The masks have been off from the founding despite persistent mythologies. Enter this vote for forced labor and servitude in 2024 . .
Removing slavery was on the ballot in California. It literally had no opposition campaign at all, and it still lost.

June Jordan's Life After Lebanon essay from 1984 still resonates today. She laments, "For a long time I believe that we supposed the problem was that of misinformation. If only Americans knew the truth of things then they would rally to help, to stop the invasion, the slaughter."
There's a deep strain of racism running through the liberal (and conservative) mind, where Palestinians are seen as less than human. It's so repugnant.

James Baldwin famously said, "You always told me 'It takes time.'" Its taken my entire family's life time, "how much time do you want for your progress?". I wonder, like Baldwin, "What is it you want me to reconcile myself to?" Today makes a full year since we issued this warning

Longest running PSA in U.S. history, "Remember Only YOU Can Prevent Wildfires," manufactured individual responsibility for climate crisis. Same energy deemphasizing public prevention, institutional crisis response, govt. duty to assist folk, "Remember Only YOU can prevent dying!".
Tampa Mayor Jane Castor: “I can say this without any dramatization whatsoever: If you choose to stay in one of those evacuation areas, you are going to die.”
