"The so-called Moynihan Report, published in 1965, is described by Dr. Lethabo King as “the sociologist’s attempts to police and surveil unruly Black urban life through producing the ‘Black family’ as an object of knowledge and a problem for national security.” The Moynihan Report characterized the last century’s inner-city social unrest as a criminal pathology, blamed on paternal absenteeism (fathers not present in the home), a problem which was further traced to so-called “matriarchy.” Black communal headship, organized through the matriline, was represented within scholarship, media narratives, and discourse on the Black family as a negative counterpart to white family structure. This myth of matriarchy helped to fuel the carceral repression of subversive political movements of the long ’60s/’70s. As the aegis of a drug war was used to surveil and disrupt Black struggles of that time, narratives about a criminal pathology traced to “broken” family structure helped anchor the coherence of these measures. By the time we get to the ’80s and ’90s, with the growth in mass incarceration, criminalization of Black working-class communities extended far beyond those engaging in movement activity or even in crimes of survival."

Last night, in response to the Israeli military attacking the Sumud flotilla attempting to deliver aid to starving people in besieged Gaza, 10,000 protesters marched through the streets of Rome.

Another solidarity flotilla is on the way to Gaza right now, defying the blockade.

A general strike will take place in Italy tomorrow in solidarity with the people of Gaza.

Stop the genocide. Abolish the fascist ethnostate that is perpetrating it. Free Palestine.

Hey folks, im trying to raise another $150CAD to help offset the cost of my meds.

I'm a chronically ill/disabled trans girlie. I am an artist, advocate, and activist - most notable for my ongoing work towards trans liberation in Saskatchewan Canada (google UR Pride v Govt. of Saskatchewan, or TransSask Support Services).

I've been unable to work for a while now due to worsening health, and last month I lost out on all of my fixed income from government assistance. I survived august off of $40 from the govt. and $150 from y'all - and it looks like it might be another month like that.

Anything at all helps me afford meds to manage my cptsd and chronic health conditions.

$124/$150 (please boost?)
