If after 126yrs of colonial extraction Trump proposes Puerto Rico 🇵🇷independence (w/o land back, reconciliation, reparations, & colonial debt cancellation) it would not respect PR ‘s sovereignty Threatening US statehood on Canada, Greenland (or PR) doesn’t respect theirs either

Mahatma Gandhi the Racist. While living in South Africa, Mahatma Gandhi described black Africans as “savage,” “raw” and living a life of indolence and nakedness. •He routinely expressed "disdain for Africans," and he also campaigned relentlessly to prove to the British rulers that the Indian community in South Africa was superior to native black Africans. •One of the first battles Gandhi fought after coming to South Africa was over the separate entrances for whites and blacks at the Durban post office. •Gandhi obiected that Indians were "classed with the natives of South Africa," who he called the kaffirs, and demanded a separate entrance for Indians. •In a petition letter in 1895, Gandhi also expressed concern that a lower legal standing for Indians would result in degenerating "so much so that from their civilised habits, they would be degraded to the habits of the aboriginal Natives, and a generation hence, between the progeny of the Indians and the Natives, there will be very little difference in habits, and customs and thought." 🖊️ for anyone who wants to support the page i have a page that you can donate to: ko-fi.com/africanarchives no obligation whatsoever. thanks for the support (Or just follow the ko-fi page for articles/posts roundup)

104 years ago on November 2-3, during Election Day in 1920, the single bloodiest day in modern America political history happened, The Ocoee Massacre. A black man attempted to vote & the Ku Klux Klan responded with rampage that led to the exile/death of every black person that lived there —The dark day in Florida's history escalated after one Black citizen tried to exercise his right to vote at a polling location but was turned away on Election Day. Mose Norman, who had been part of the voter registration drive in Orange County, decided to vote in the national election on November 2. When he attempted to do so, twice, he was turned away from the polls. When Norman was driven away the second time, a white mob, then numbering over 100 men, decided to hunt him down. Concluding he had taken refuge in the home of another local Black resident, Julius “July” Perry, they rushed Perry’s home hoping to capture both men there. Norman escaped and was never found while Perry defended his home, killing two white men, Elmer McDaniels and Leo Borgard, who tried to enter through the back door. The mob called for reinforcements from Orlando and surrounding Orange County. Eventually they caught and killed Perry and hung his dead body from a telephone post by the highway from Ocoee to Orlando to intimidate other potential Black voters. Perry’s wife, Estelle Perry, and their daughter were wounded during the attack on the Perry home. They were sent to Tampa by local law enforcement officers. The mob then turned on the Black community of Ocoee. Homes and properties of Black families were scorched, burnt to the ground. At least four Black individuals were confirmed killed -- one of which was lynched, his body hanging from a tree limb for all to see. On June 21, 2019, a historical marker honoring July Perry and others killed in the massacre was placed in Heritage Square outside the Orange County Regional History Center. 🖋️if you love our content, please consider supporting our page on AfricanArchives.Support (follow the ko-fi page too for weekly posts roundup)

Uber and Lyft drivers in Massachusetts begin accruing paid sick leave - a basic benefit for workers - for the first time starting today. Remember: this is a result of my office taking these companies to court and holding them to account for exploiting drivers.

It should not require experiencing an injustice to care about it.

Community college is now free in Massachusetts — and it’s the most comprehensive, universal program in America. Grateful for the partnership of Senate President Spilka, the Legislature, our state's 15 community colleges, and the students who shared their stories with us today.

Love is not an escape from reality; it’s a way of facing reality head-on.
