Dream Defenders

Today we launch a new fight. 🚀 This one is for the real architects of this country. For every underdog, radical dreamer, and diamond in the rough.  For the migrant worker. The cook, the mechanic, the poet, the teacher. The farmer. The storyteller. The waitress. The nurse.

Remember, algorithms will always push the most negative images of black people. I’m a rapper and my organization has been sending books to prison for years! We just sent 1200 this month. If you’d like to support our work retweet and join us for $1/month 🤎Patreon.com/nonamebooks

Apparently, The New Yorker ran a story with an illustration of Wunmi Mosaku that was obviously not intended to represent her well, so I redid it real quick in a similar style. Took 15 minutes & a love of Black women ❤️

@ItsAllRod @passenger57_ @Dreamdefenders ironically enough your substack proves my point. protests + organization + strikes + boycotts + power mapping = disruption. My critique is that many modern protests never make that transition, yet are treated as if they’re already disruptive.

@passenger57_ @LianaPlease I understand both sentiments, but I do disagree. Protests work, things are happening after the protest, and new strategies are being created & used effectively. Here’s a Substack on more of what I’m saying. open.substack.com/pub/deadgriots… It’s from @Dreamdefenders

Trump Withdraws the United States from International Organizations that Are “Contrary to the Interests of the United States” whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/20…

In a new post, President Trump is absolving ICE agents for shooting and killing a U.S. citizen in Minneapolis. His evidence? A slowed down version of the clip in this post. It does not absolve the agent.

Mayor Jacob Frey: “To ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis.”

You’re lying. There was no attempt to run the officer over and no ICE agents appear to be hurt. Get out of our city.
