The Witkruis Monument or the White Cross Memorial consists of just under 3,000 white crosses commemorating the victims of farm murders in South Africa. In 2023, 45 white farmers were murdered in South Africa, making the murder rate a staggering 150 per 100k, with only 30,000 commercial farmers remaining. This rate exceeds the US army’s death rate of 120 per 100k during the peak of the Afghanistan-Iraq war in 2009. The attacks are often racially motivated, with reports of infants being drowned and elderly women tortured. Politicians such as the EFF’s Julius Malema and ex-president Jacob Zuma have openly called for the killing white farmers. A memorial has been created for these farmers, the Witskruis Monument, a moving site built on a hill in which every white cross represents a murdered farmer. Over the past 20 years, over 2,000 farmers have been killed. Sources: TAU SA, News24, @willempet



NEW: New York City teen arrested after he body slammed a girl before stomping on her head because she didn't give him her number. The 15-year-old girl was seen trying to avoid the thug in East Harlem as he pushed her, harassed her, and assaulted her. The 14-year-old thug was later arrested and charged with assault. The girl was sent to the hospital. She suffered a concussion and is in stable condition. Never let this freak out of prison.

Why Elon Musk is RIGHT to fight South Africa’s racist rules blocking Starlink? Imagine this: Long ago, South Africa had very unfair laws called apartheid. They treated Black people badly and kept them from good jobs and money. When those bad laws ended, the country made new rules (called B-BBEE) to help Black people get a fair share of business. The idea was good – like a big helping hand. But now? For companies like Starlink to sell fast internet, they MUST give away 30% of their business to Black partners. Just because of skin color. Elon Musk was born in South Africa. He left as a teen to chase big dreams. Today, his company SpaceX wants to bring Starlink – super fast satellite internet – to South Africa. But the rules say no unless they give up part of the company. Elon said it right: “Starlink is not allowed because I’m not Black.” SpaceX promised to spend about $30 million (that’s 500 million rand!) to give FREE high-speed internet to 5,000 rural schools. That helps over 2.4 MILLION kids every year learn better, get jobs later, and have a brighter future. Real help for the people who need it most! Starlink already works in about 24 other African countries. Villages there now have internet for school, doctors, and business. South Africa’s villages are missing out because of these racist rules. Elon isn’t asking for special favors. He just wants fair play so Starlink can connect everyone fast. Internet = education, jobs, hope. Why hold back millions of kids over rules that pick by race and color?









A Haitian woman local public official is murdered & ur in my mentions to start a diaspora war..im getting so SICK of these ignorant FBA🇺🇸 loving 🦝’s man😤..and its one thing if their hate was limited to online trolling but its used to brand an entire ppl & has impact on irl organizing, especially outreach to the Haitian community. There’s been several events down here, I get asked my background, I say AA and get the wildest expressions lol bc there is a real history of tension b/w AA & Haitians in S. FL but FBA love to pour salt on a wound. You want to call ppl from the 1st BLACK Republic not BLACK and think you dont sound ridiculous? Just stop. For all his faults, I do appreciate Jesse Jackson for solidarity with Haiti, especially bc that is the type of internationalism I seek to embody in my own work. Just gotta drown out the foolishness 💆🏾♀️
