Wake up y’all. For those of you trying to sit this fight out...you are grossly mistaken if you think it has nothing to do with you because you don’t speak Spanish or Creole or Patois. It is about everyone who is Latino and everyone who is brown and everyone who is BLACK like you. Resting on privilege is like drinking poison and hoping the warnings on the box won’t affect you. Join the fight. 9/9

This is about privilege. She was embarrassed that there was an immigration violation against her husband of 25 years who is now 78 years old. She didn’t want to tell anyone (including her sister who is a lawyer!!!) that they had gotten an order of deportation months ago. How could that happen to people like them, who owned houses and big cars? She notified us the day the judge in the court turned him over to ICE 8/9

The family got the news last Tuesday with a one sentence post in the family Signal chat from my sister. “I guess I can tell you now, ICE has [her husband’s name]. Everyone posts WTAF??? and the phones all start ringing. Immediately I start posting resources for her, my brother starts to get his state department creds out….but my sister goes silent. 7/9

Many Black people think the immigration problem and ICE have nothing to do with us. But, that couldn’t be further from the truth. We all have neighbors or friends who are Jamaican, Trinidadian, Haitian, Senegalese or Malian. I mean that’s all of NYC right? Some are from Bermuda, Panama or the Bahamas. Like my brother-in-law...who is now in ICE custody, in a facility near the NY border, waiting to be deported. 6/9

Since 2016 I’ve been telling my family how important it was for everyone to have their papers in order. Repeatedly, I heard “We’re not Latino, we don’t have to worry about that.” I told them...but….you are BLACK. I heard the same thing when I was talking to some Black folks in Texas on a layover recently. A brother told me he was coming to DC. I said have your ID ready. He says “I’m not Hispanic.” I said “But you are BLACK.” 5/9

In my family, all of my siblings with the exception of one who has mental health issues, are educated, some with multiple degrees. We all were professionals or are still working as professionals. We are still BLACK, but we’ve done well for Black folks here. We are originally from NYC and have always lived among, married, and hung out with black and brown folks from everywhere, the islands, Africa, and Central America. 4/9

Leonard Austin Braithwaite (1923 - 2012). He and the rest of his Bomber Wing fought fascism in Europe. He returned to become the first Black Canadian elected to a Provincial Legislature in 1963.

The #zine I’m making is about ‘80s #hardcore (among other things) and I’ve been thinking about that era a lot. Decided to put on the #Dischord “Flex Your Head” comp for the first time in forever. I forgot about how good Red C is. I put “Pressure’s On” on a #ShotgunSeamstress mixtape a very long time ago. Toni Young played bass in Red C. She is the only black woman musician I have been able to find in American hardcore. #punk #BlackMastodon

Today in Labor History January 30, 1956: Klansmen bombed the home of Martin Luther King Jr in retaliation for the Montgomery bus boycott. No one died in the bombing. However, the explosion destroyed the King’s porch and blasted out their windows. At the time of the bombing, King was giving a speech at the Montgomery Improvement Association at Rev. Ralph Abernathy’s First Baptist Church. No one was ever indicted or convicted for the bombing. The authorities did indict King, and 80 other activists, for “interfering with business,” during the bus boycott and demonstrations.
