Nyah Mway a 13 year old boy was walking home at 10:20pm on June 29th, 2024- he was stopped by Utica police for allegedly fitting a description. Not 22 seconds (!!!) after being stopped by police, Nyah was dead. He will never see high school, or 14. He won’t see graduation, or college, or his first “real job”- Nyah is dead because he was murdered by the Police in Utica New York, because that’s what the police do! In this discussion we go through some of the lies that the New York Times, Huffington Post, Utica Phoenix, and other media sources, including the Democratic Party, Citizen Action, and other Non-Profits and NGOs who offer the people NO REAL SOLUTIONS!

Peace everyone, wishing you all well! I wanted to take a moment to read some poetry from our friend and Comrade sister, Mother, Julia Wright- daughter of Richard Wright, friend of Kwame and Kuma, and freedom fighters all over the globe! So I drawn to speak a bit about something some comrades of mine - and shout out to them, you know who you are - have been bringing up quite often, and that is grief, trauma, and how to reconcile these things with revolution and resistance. Hopefully some of the things I say are worthy of your listening, take care all! All power to the people of Palestine!

Episodes manquant?

In this episode, we go into a discussion of a recent interview, which activist news network recently put out with Jihad Abdulmumit, diagnosing the movements of today in the so called US, and specifically the student encampments. We also discuss the importance of internationalizing our struggles and what that means, the importance of centering Political Prisoners here and around the world, and much more!
-
Where have I been lately? Who cares! Go out and struggle for liberation! What is “Revolutionary Optimism” ? And some other related points
-
We are a part of an international struggle against imperialism, colonialism, capitalism and exploitation. The resistance in Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, Kuwait, Iraq, Iran, and elsewhere has proven that this system can only be defeated by direct confrontation between forces towards the objective of completely eliminating all forms and all systems of oppression. This is the only way forward.

A reading of my poem, “What’s in a Mass Grave”
-
With the expansion of student lead university encampments, resistance operations, mass demonstrations worldwide, deterioration of the imperialist system, in-fighting, policing and terror tactics by the state and fascism on the rise, it is time to ask ourselves seriously: Is liberalism or social democracy, peace-activism, single issue fights, reaction and weekend organizing enough to stop them?
-
We are coming up on the elections in occupied turtle Island, what does this mean? A brief commentary on what to do if you are voting, and what to do in addition to voting, how elections take momentum from real organization, and why we should not focus on elections as a meaningful tool for change, and of course along with that a brief analysis about how elections came to be a tool of the state for control. We also comment on the victories and continued resistance of those throughout west Asia, specifically, of course, those resisting Genocide in Palestine, Yemen, Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, Kuwait and elsewhere.
-
Explaining why I haven’t posted while updating on situation in West Asia, connecting to trends worldwide and in Turtle Island - re: Militarization, Cop Cities, Hyper-Repression, Inequality, etc.
-
Where are the real revolutionary organizations? Where is the real drive to organize the masses?
-
In the case of Palestine, but not only there. In Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, and elsewhere we are seeing that a people organized can never be defeated. Revolution is more than armed struggle but building a new society from an old one. The people of Palestine and the world know this clearer than ever before - all power to the people!
-
Today I took the time to read two letters both from Mumia Abu Jamal, and then two letters from Leonard Peltier about/to each other. Both these freedom fighters need our support, please reach out for more information!
-
A bit repetitious, but I wanted to put more of my thoughts into an episode and ask directly for responses questions and answers, we also must lift up in this moment Mumia Abu Jamal who is ailing from his imposed sicknesses cause by incarceration and attacks by the state; Leonard Peltier, who’s vision is quickly degenerating due to abuses in concentration camps, and who just lost his sister (who’s daughter needs help with funding!) and will not be able to say goodbye; Kamau Sadiki turns 71 today and still sits rotting in concentration under oppressive and cruel restrictions of food, water, and movement. These and others like Joy Powell are our heroes, our freedom fighters- we must struggle to see them free, safe, and taken care of
-
It was hard to come up with the title for this episode because I spoke about a lot of different things. Brief synopsis though would be that we start with some discussion of the apathy, and in action of many of us, including myself, and transition to discussing why we especially in imperialist nations have come to be so willing and able to normalize suffering, while others around the world, have no options, but to either fight, flee, or die. So, let us learn from those around the world who have shown us what it means to be human, by fighting for humanity.
-
This is in no way a history or in-depth analysis of the history of psychological warfare. This is my attempt to cover the way in which colonialism and imperialism use psychology in many ways more often than military might, in order to manipulate and control a population. I want to follow up on this episode so if anyone would like to suggest someone to invite on to discuss this further, please do so. Thank you for the support! Free Palestine! Free all political prisoners! Free the land!
-
In this episode I added a bit of an additional layer to our discussion of Colonialism and Genocide. Historically, children have along with folks who are disabled, and Elderly folks, been disproportionately affected by war and especially by genocide, displacement, starvation, lack of medical care, hospitals, schools, jobs, etc. They are forced to leave their homes, their lives, their families, often coming or going to this or that imperialist nation, forced to give their intellect, labor, and tax dollars to a nation that helped destroy theirs. This cannot continue!
-
I took the time driving today as an opportunity to discuss some expanded thoughts on the relevance and significance of the passing of Sekou Odinga, Ruchelle Magee, Wadiya, Mutulu, and plenty of other revolutionary heroes and legends now ancestors, the impact of their loss on the struggle, and how we must bridge the gap between those who sacrificed so much and are still with us today, and the new generation coming into the movement. I also spoke about issues to do with capacity, unseriousness, and the level of struggle many are involved in today, including myself.
-
In this short episode, we take the time to comment on the recent passing of Mutulu Shakur, Ralph Poynter, Ruchelle Magee, Sekou Odinga, Russel “Maroon” Shoatz, Sis Wadiya, and plenty of others, their struggles, their sacrifices, and our need to double and triple the efforts to build relationships w these elders while they’re here on earth!
-
No matter what little time, skills, capacity, capabilities, or experience, you feel you may, or may not have - it’s all helpful in the struggle. Many of us feel bad because we can’t give our all, or can’t do all of the things that others can do, that we shouldn’t organize. We also believe that until we get things sorted out in our individual, that there’s no way we could help in a collective. But this is where we are wrong! In fact, many of us can do almost nothing alone, even for ourselves. We require collectives and other people to accomplish anything, including revolution. No matter what you have to give, any organization would be lucky to have you. Each and everyone of you! So, go out there and join one, if you can’t find one you like, form your own! The time is now. None left to waste.

This is me sharing some thoughts in my car that I have been having for a while - after driving back from a family party that sparked it in me
