When we raise our children to be allies, they grow up to become co-conspirators who challenge imperialism, settler-colonialism, and injustice in all its forms.

Today 19 years ago, Rachel Corrie put her life on the line by standing alongside her Palestinian siblings and sister-activists and practicing non-violent civil disobedience in the face the Israeli apartheid regime.

Ancestor Corrie is not a martyr. She was and still is an example of what decolonizing whiteness looks like. Whether you place yourself in the pathway to defend land sovereignty, attend school board meetings to hold space alongside parents and organizers of color, help organize food/resource drives to help houseless people in your community, or carpool neighbors to the polls during midterms, we ALL have a responsibility to disrupt and upRoot injustice at home and around the world.

✨A gentle lamb bleats in a single call, sweetly, meekly. The wind carries its voice through the fluttering of leaves and over mountain tops, across meadows where baby deer dwell under the shadow of their mothers.

Precious lambs you are, Sweet whispers...✨

[IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Two beautiful dark skinned sisters who are twins are seen looking softly at the viewer, resting in a meadow like area. They are wearing long white dresses. with short puffy sleeves on their shoulders. One sister relaxes her head on her sister's lap while the other supports her sisters head. A little baby lamb also lay beside the twins, one ear up while the other ear is down. The lamb's white wool almost blends into the white dress's the sisters are wearing. In the background,the sky is a soft shade of baby blue, no clouds are visible. And there is a mountain in the background that stretches to both sides of the picture and a few trees at a distance.]

UPDATE AND PROOF OF PURCHASE!

Hussam has been out all day the past two days after the strikes on Rafah getting material for refugees. Since, again, there is a huge influx of refugees and the nights are quite cold, blankets are still very important so he bought another 300 for them to keep warm. These have yet to be distributed since he came home around Isha' (during the dark) and didn't have any time to give them out.

But in addition to the blankets, he's been buying other things! He bought 50 bags of flour (25 kilo) for people, as you can see in the video, and volunteers helped out by cooking 200 warm meals, both of which were already distributed!

Thanks so much for all your help!! You're helping keep families warm and fed during this terrible onslaught in Gaza!

Heavily (100%) inspired by my anonymous friend, The Drake Family is proud to learn you something during this, the Blackest month of the year.

Today, the Drakes are teaching us all about liberation and freedom.  They would like to start with the flag:

The Pan-African flag was created in 1920 to represent people of the African Diaspora and to symbolize Black liberation in the United States. As flags symbolize the union of governance, people, and territory, this flag was created to give Black people in America and the world over a symbol that unifies the Diaspora. This tri-color flag consists of three equal horizontal bands colored Red, Black, and Green:

Red: the blood that unites all people of Black African ancestry, and shed for liberation

Black: for the people whose existence as a nation, though not a nation-state, is affirmed by the existence of the flag

Green: the abundant land and vibrant natural wealth of Africa, the Motherland. *Gold or yellow is used in addition to green as a symbol of the great wealth found beneath and above the soil of the great continent of Africa.

Since its existence, a number of African nations have adopted the colors as a symbol of sovereignty and unity. It has also been adopted by several Black organizations that carry on the fight towards justice and liberation for Black people.

You may be asking yourself “Self, I thought the Emancipation Proclamation ended slavery and Black folks are free now?” Well, you’re wrong. 

Dead wrong. But the Drakes believe that each one should teach one, so take some time to read why we say their names, why the fight for freedom is still very real and very present (read this too, and this, also this) and enjoy the rest of this Black ass month.

Your annual reminder that Martin Luther King Jr. was a revolutionary who made the foundational case for reparations and openly spoke about the US needing to stop funding wars, genocide and the exploitation of poor Black and Brown people's labor and right to exist. If he weren't assassinated by the US government, he would have demanded an end to the US funded arming of Israel and called for an immediate ceasefire.

"American power should be “harnessed to the service of peace and human beings, not an inhumane power [unleashed] against defenseless people" (King, 25 February 1967).
