What do Haiti and Hawai'i have in common? US business interests backing fascist violence and imperialist oppression.

My tribute to my beloved Papa Bear Lugman, who charted this course that led us to Luqman Nation.

Kamala's trip to Guatemala was a disaster that we hope follows her around like a bad smell for the rest of her political career! And growing a garden is a great relaxation, but it is also a deeply political act of self-determination.

What is happening in Palestine isn't a religious clash, it's settler colonialism with white supremacy at its root. You can't expect US officials who defend settler colonialism here to do anything other than support it there.

Some of y'all's colonized thinking and cop copping is dangerous and disgusting.

Of course it's good that Derek Chauvin was punished for his crime. But let's not fall for the liberal framing of his conviction as any kind of progress for eliminating the racial terrorism of the cops. Because that's still happenine.

As the tension mounts in the country as we wait for the jury verdict in the Derek Chauvin trial, Maxine Waters' comments are being framed as the spark that could light the tinderbox. Of course they aren't, but the politicians who want to start an "Anglo Saxon Caucus" believe they are. And the corporate media is finally honest about the brutality of the police - after they were victims of it.

All these questions about where Adam Toleda's parents were are some white conservative respectability BS that they didn't ask about Kyle Rittenhouse, who actually murdered two people. And amid all the horror of this week, how I keep myself grounded and still plot a little mini revolution in the process.

The lasting trauma of what witnesses in the trial of Derek Chauvin testified to show how racism affects entire communities, and ultimately the entire country.
