I'm going home, see my woman...whom I love... Sam Cooke, Chain Gang (1960). Sam Cooke was inspired by a chance encounter with laborers on a Southern highway.

The crackle on the vinyl is the sound of survival. This 1960 Sam Cooke album belonged to my mother. It's weathered, resilient and still singing. 66 years of keeping the rhythm for the TimberMen who built the Southern line. #StarlightandSteel #Lineage

Attempting to have this discussion got #ADOS labeled xenophobic. If you want to be accepted in liberal circles—and the lucrative speaking circuit—you have to say “diversity is our strength” & deny the impact of immigration on American workers. Democrats have defined any interrogation of the impact of mass migration as unacceptable speech. Every #ADOS academic, journalist, commentator & activist who participated in the intentional social shaming & ideological marginalization of the ADOS movement over our *legitimate* concerns about mass migration should be ashamed of their cowardice, stupidity & greed.

🚨Please stop saying that the Chinese built the railroads. Please. Stop erasing our history🚨
Non-Human Media@NonHumanMedia1

@IAmDouglasKim Enslaved Black Americans Chinese ppl didn't start working on the railroads until the 1860s (when the Civil War occurred so enslaved labor was not available) Black Americans laid more miles of track and started decade's before but another group gets credit due to anti-blackness

Our community & its legion of idiot reporters allowed Robin Rue Simmons to be anointed the “mother of the movement” & make headlines across the country, when not only hadn’t she achieved anything, but she hadn’t added any new thought, strategy, advocacy etc to the reparations movement. It’s all been so disappointing.

NAARC & N’COBRA have bastardized the reparations movement for years, and they were behind Evanston & several other local reparations initiatives. So this was a predictable ending for the “Africa Day” crew, because their only goal is Africa worship, not redress for #ADOS. Their tradition is anchored in African cosplay, and we all shoulder the cost of these unserious people inserting themselves in serious politics. We breathed life into the reparations movement & these people opposed us at every turn, & to what end? Absolutely nothing. Bragging rights about how they’re Africans in America & Ase nonsense. It’s unforgivable. We must start banishing these people from our politics. Block any attempts by them to speak on our behalf. Exclusion is not just important. It’s necessary.

This was absolute craziness. Paying this odd nonsensical money in this scattered way set back large scale reparations in ways beyond measure. #ADOS - #Echobox=1770807071" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">nypost.com/2026/02/11/us-… Evanston, Illinois. will issue $25,000 to 44 residents in reparations payments, the City’s Reparations Committee has announced. Established in 2019 and approved by the City Council in 2021, the program issues $25,000 direct cash payments to Black residents and descendants of Black residents who lived in Evanston between 1919 and 1969.

Before R&B, funk, or hip hop—before drum machines and house parties—there was Fats Waller. His stride piano functioned like a full rhythm section. The left hand laid down bass and chords, the right hand carried swing and melody. That sense of groove powered rent parties and living rooms across Black America and became the feel that later shaped popular American music. Waller was also highly strategic. He would submit multiple versions of the same song to different publishing companies, allowing them to dispute ownership while he collected his earnings. It was an early example of an artist understanding leverage in the business.
