That Aint It

There are only two Black-owned and run book spaces in Greater Boston- Print Ain't Dead is one of them. We sell new and used books at low, accessible prices. All of our books and zines are by POC. Come by and check us out this summer on Sat/Sun from 11-4

@YawuMiller People used to leave letters at the house and stop by asking for the owner (I'm in Mattapan)

In Roxbury, homeowners complain investors aggressively go after them — letters, phone calls, in-person visits. It can be relentless. Question: is this sort of thing happening to people in other neighborhoods?

From Oprah’s book club to Barack’s reading list, there is a lot that needs to be said about Black liberals’ harnessing of black literature to fortify US empire.

@wordsiren Yesssssss

@wickedjamison I cannot wait to read the sequel, I Feed Her to the Beast was so good

@KianaFitz Happy Birthday!!!

Despite the fact that it feels like I just turned 30 last week, today is my 35th birthday. Every year comes faster 😭 but I’m adapting to it. Grateful for the journey and everybody on it with me. 🫶🏾 Out with the old; in with the new; on to the next.

Let’s take a moment to reflect on Black-Palestinian solidarity—🧵 /12.

There is a bizarre misconception that the Black Palestinian population is limited to hundreds in Jerusalem. The largest Black Palestinian population is in Gaza (over 20,000 ) - currently displaced and living through a genocide alongside their neighbors and countrymen.

@jennrnajera Kitchen Table Press is another

you + kamala have nothing in common at the level of experience and to think you do is to inhabit one of two political postures (1) delusion or (2) collusion. black imperialists esp. have the entire arsenal of the state at hand. anti-black gender violence is their weapon. enough!

@yonoella Such a good piece!

that’s one of my favorite quotes! thank you for sharing 🙏🏽

the “protect black women shield” is exactly why the Dems picked Kamala as the Captive Maternal fit to deliver this election. it’s not enough for her to be top cop against a criminal, restoring law & order to the nation her identity is the ideal liberal bulletproof vest

Black women, I beg you. Please do not use your Black womanhood to support being dismissive of genocide. Think about what you’re doing.

@PolitikiScamtho @NolwAzi_Tusini Talmbout it doesn’t matter as long as the president is Black lmaooo, the political system is built the way it is in this country to deprive people of a real choice. How exactly is that the fault of Black Americans?

@PolitikiScamtho @NolwAzi_Tusini That’s exactly why so many BAs are speaking out AGAINST Kamala Harris. And don’t sit here and act like you care about police violence against Black people in the US lol. You’re just utilizing it to try to make your point have some sort of substance 🤷🏽‍♀️

Black Americans are saying she’s not black because she’s from Brazil. Because of course they are the grand masters of blackness, the ultimate authority on all ethnicity, the great imperial and almighty deciders of race, the final arbiters on who and what is black. 🙇🏾‍♀️

@PolitikiScamtho @NolwAzi_Tusini Since you’re so familiar with the American political system, I’m sure you’re already aware that it is bipartisan- meaning that essentially citizens are only given two choices. All US presidents are war mongers lol. Nobody is arguing that.

@Mtho_Star @NolwAzi_Tusini Yep not willing to debate on this, as I said earlier on, good night 🤚🏽

@bonitafrobum @NolwAzi_Tusini a certain criteria needs to be met in this case it hasn't been met you're just obsessed with the xenophobia narrative and unwilling to hear the real view so thats were I end our discussion you have a goodnight✌🏾

@Mtho_Star @NolwAzi_Tusini Yes quite literally that is xenophobia lol idk what’s not clicking

@bonitafrobum @NolwAzi_Tusini Is it xenophobic to question her legitimacy to participate? that is the main complaint btw There you go again going for the low hanging fruit(xenophobia) did you go on a fact finding mission or the aim is to just taint South Africans as xenophobic its a tired narrative.

@Mtho_Star @NolwAzi_Tusini Nothing justifies the xenophobic threats and dragging that girl got for being in the pageant. Thats my point. If it went over your head, apologies. Have a great night 😘

@bonitafrobum @NolwAzi_Tusini I was giving you context never said she did anything wrong before asking more question answer mine as well. I personally don't care about pageants to a point of gatekeeping, its even on my timeline I actually feel bad she's caught up in a storm that has nothing to do with her.

@PolitikiScamtho @NolwAzi_Tusini So these people don’t count then I guess? This ain’t Xenophobia lol?

@PolitikiScamtho @NolwAzi_Tusini Lmaoo 95% of South Africans aren’t on Twitter- where exactly are you getting these numbers for? I didn’t vote for anyone lol. And many more Black Americans do not believe in the bipartisan political system. And it’s been that way for decades- do some reading and you’ll learn 🤷🏽‍♀️
