This photograph, taken in Lincoln, Nebraska by African-American photographer John Johnson between 1910 and 1925, shows the home of George W. and Fronia Butcher at 2001 U Street. The taller man is believed to be George Butcher, who worked for the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad and the Burlington Railroad shops in Havelock, Nebraska. He was born in Philadelphia in 1874, and died in Lincoln in 1958. Fronia Butcher (not pictured) lived to be 100 years old, living until 1974. The dapper man on the right remains unidentified.

it is an inherent weakness of masculinity and male socialization to twist in the wind until somebody "allows" you to be something by choosing your ego over their safety security and identity
you cant be a man until a woman lets you...

Have you tried being likeable?
Have you tried liking yourself?
Have you considered an expression of community and partnership that is collaborative, compassionate, rooted in kindness rather than domination and subservience ?

We are not unrealistic to want an end to oppression. But we are being OUT ORGANIZED. To contend for power, we must organize. We must struggle and fight to win!

Discipline, education, comrades, material resources, collectivism, support networks, communications, processes, ethics… You organize using any tool available to you. And if you need to develop new tools, you do it together!

Building a people’s movement will also not include EVERY SINGLE PERSON. Organizing is not about just congregating and doing whatever. It wouldn’t even be organized. Principles, structure, objectives, strategy tactics etc. YOU NEED THESE.

Here we have one of my favorite photos of all time.
The Black Panther Party & a Palestinian delegation at the first Pan-African Cultural Festival in Algiers, 1969.
The Black Panthers were big advocates for both black liberation in America and Palestinian liberation.
colonial occupation and violent repression cannot end the global scourge of antisemitism and secure (physical or psychological) safety for Jewish people
the State of Israel is a doomed project
