On this day in 1947, police officers in Rochester, New York, shot and killed an unarmed Black veteran named Roland T. Price. Though Mr. Price did not resist, the shooting was deemed "justified."

After slashing aid to poor countries, Trump’s State Department is giving $1 million to a controversial South African organization that promotes the disputed notion that white farmers are a violently targeted, persecuted group.

I was just discussing this with colleagues. The only measure of Black political progress is their support for a majority white democratic party who is the alternative to the segregationists running America. This is not politics; it is a Manicheanism masquerading as choice.
When the metric for “saving America” is whether you vote Democrat, what else should we expect? Ironically, a narrower Democratic majority might have given democratic socialists and the party’s progressive wing greater legislative leverage. With such a large Democratic majority, centrist Democrats have more room to advance legislation without relying on more progressive votes. Basically, the “blue wave” may have strengthened the Democratic Party electorally while weakening the bargaining power of the more left wing within the party.

“The changes among Black men this year were big enough to shift Black voters overall. About 9 in 10 Black voters supported the Democratic candidate in their local U.S. House race this year, up from about 8 in 10 who supported Harris in 2024.”

John Kenneth Galbraith wrote The Affluent Society in 1958 about a country drowning in private wealth while its schools, streets and public services went to shit.
Nearly 70 years later, Austrian economists are still arguing we haven't privatized enough.
Fucking brilliant.

This is such a weird contrarian point
@TorraineWalker knows he's not AA yet describes him as such, and also knows or should know the historical reasons for such partisanship
“Its crazy Black Americans aren't celebrating Stepin Fetchit as the first successful Black actor” 🙄

“There is consistent evidence that Black immigrants in the U.S. and U.S.-born Black individuals have different health patterns. Black immigrants in the U.S. report similar outcomes as U.S.-born White Americans”

“The black bourgeoisie have shown no interest in the ‘liberation’ of Negroes except as it affected their own status or acceptance by the white community…When the opportunity has been present, the black bourgeoisie has exploited the Negro masses as ruthlessly as have whites.” –E. Franklin Frazier (1957)

“The age of Obama was the last gasp of neoliberalism. Despite some progressive words and symbolic gestures, Obama chose to ignore Wall Street crimes, reject bailouts for homeowners, oversee growing inequality and facilitate war crimes like US drones killing innocent civilians abroad.” theguardian.com/commentisfre…

All the legal scholarship agrees lineage based reparations makes a stronger case over raced based yet PAs disagree
All the sociological scholarship agrees Afro-immigrants have lower racial consciousness than BAs yet PAs won't admit this
What scholarship are PAs using exactly?

I voted for Nithya Raman because she pledged to advance reparations for Black Americans in LA. Bass had 4 years & failed to do anything on this . Why expect more? Black L.A. is hanging by a thread & Raman gives us something to work with. Now we must hold her accountable.
🚨Election Call🚨
Councilwoman Nithya Raman will be the 44th Mayor of Los Angeles. Under 50 vote is now 45% of the market share, with no sign of that going down.
She won without the standard DSA all-stars of Bernie Sanders, AOC, Mamdani or Ro Khanna endorsing her. It was a City Controller, a Supervisor and a merry band of dedicated volunteers who won this race.
Free advice (I am sure me saying it has less value to her and her team).
Go Big!
Announce a series of Town-halls with Mayor Mamdani across the country setting the “urban agenda” before the 2028 Presidential Cycle, commit to making your endorsements together for the same Dem candidate. Use your bully pulpit for urban centers across the country, become a household name.
Rise above City Hall.
Or you can play City Hall games and find yourself stuck in the building.
Good Luck!

On this day in 1890, Benjamin Ryan Tillman, a violent white supremacist, was elected governor of South Carolina. Prior to being elected, he participated in the 1876 Hamburg Massacre, where white men rioted and killed nine Black people.
