I got my hands on 65 hours worth of live broadcast news coverage and special reports on the MOVE bombing which occurred 41 years ago today. I produced this piece using that archival footage. On May 13, 1985, Philadelphia police dropped a C4 explosive on the home of the @themoveorganization family at 62nd and Osage Avenue, after 500 police fired over 10,000 rounds into the home. City officials allowed the fire to burn, killing 11 people including five children, and destroying 61 homes. Eyewitness and forensic evidence indicates that several MOVE children attempted to flee the burning home through the rear but were either shot back inside or their bullet-ridden bodies were thrown back into fire by police waiting in the alleyway. In 2021, it was revealed UPenn and Princeton had stolen the remains of several of the children and not only conducted experiments on them but also wheeled them out on gurneys at fundraising events. John Africa's head has never been returned and saw marks on his neck indicate foul play during an unauthorized autopsy. No one has ever been held accountable for any of it. In 2023, @mikeafricajr bought the house back which was originally owned by his aunt Louise James, but was seized by the City through eminent domain after the bombing and turned into a police substation. He is barred from turning the home into a memorial until he pays off the $400K mortgage, support link below.

“If powerful states were rare in precolonial Africa, that was because Africans did not want to build them. Statelessness was a sign of success, not failure.”

@MushyStuff__ @ComradeOhio Give a like to v e e if you have met Henry

And to think I spent my time in free public libraries growing up

Thinking of scholars and colleagues whose work places, communities are being targeted with bombs

Thread of socialist magazines and publications worth reading. Will keep updating. 🧵

John Gerrard's "Western Flag" is probably the most relevant work of art right now.

Colleagues in the social sciences worldwide: Ecuador is descending into dictatorship under Daniel Noboa. Two days ago, authorities provisionally suspended the main opposition party Revolución Ciudadana (RC5). Hours ago, Guayaquil Mayor Aquiles Álvarez — Noboa’s fiercest critic — was transferred to a maximum-security prison reserved for terrorists, based on secret and highly dubious reports. Democracy is being dismantled in real time. #Ecuador #AuthoritarianTurn Please RT

I've been doing this work for over a decade and covered multiple conflicts, but I don't remember a time when open source investigators and fact-checkers have been this busy. The sheer scale of this war between the US, Israel and Iran, the volume of major daily incidents happening across the Middle East that need to be investigated, and the rampant spread of misinformation on social media are beyond any one person's capacity to cover. And that's why the ever increasing community of online investigators, geolocaters, and fact-checkers on this platform are vital to understanding major global events like this war. Make sure to follow their work!
