One of the best #Indigenous #comedians - the legendary #CharlieHill 
R.I.P.
He was such a #trailblazer & inspiration for many native comedians who came after. RichardPryor recognized Charlie's talent & gave him a TV spotlight in the late 70s.

Was, wenn die Teilung Russlands nicht Frieden bringt, sondern Chaos?
Grenzen sind nicht nur Linien auf Karten – sie bewahren Geschichte, Spannungen und Realität.

And look, I'm the first one to ensure 100% of the blame rests on manipulators rather than the manipulated. But I'm not going to do that in this moment. I'm going to look at what I *did* know as a conservative Christian up till age 26 in 2001, long after these events had been set into motion but still with plenty of time to stop them and roll them back.
I knew these two things:
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you + if you have done it into the least of these, you have done it into me (Jesus).
There's no way to put those together without the result: If I do it to someone else, I'm doing it to myself.
If I cut taxes because "my" money is forcefully going to the freeloaders (BIPOC, the poor, the sick, the imprisoned — folks *expressly* listed in the Bible), I did it to myself.
These truths were here all along. Yes, the Manipulator Class wove in all kinds of distractions and distortions, but we had plenty of patriotic and RW slogans that, if considered closely, reveals that we should not have let this happen.
Africa: Decolonising Western Global Health Relations With Africa Critical: [The Herald] The strategic significance of Africa in global health research cannot be underestimated and so are the dangers of Africans being used as guinea pigs or worse still, of Africa being exposed to dangerous pathogen leaks from West's biological laboratories dotted on the continent. http://newsfeed.facilit8.network/TJnLBh #Africa #GlobalHealth #Decolonization #HealthEquity #PublicHealth
ELN: A Look Towards Africa
In Africa, tectonic movements of liberation and decolonization are again being felt. In the African Sahel, Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, Chad and Senegal have expelled France permanently. On the continent, the pan–Africanist agenda of the 1960s is being revived. In November 2024, the historic “Conference in Solidarity with the Peoples of the Sahel” was held in Niger, organized by the Pan African Secretariat (PAT) and the Organization of the Peoples of West Africa (WAPO), under the slogan: “For anti–imperialist unity, peace and friendship among peoples.” PAT and WAPO are two great engines driving the pan–African liberation project. It is placed on the agenda in the revolutionary and national liberation movements of the world, calling us to a dialogue and coordination with this African libertarian reality. Malcolm X, on his trip to Africa (1964) having renounced the Nation of Islam, which preached black nationalism, discovered affinities and identities with revolutionary leaders, some of whom were not black, such as Ahmed Ben Bella of Algeria and Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt. By finding deeper identities with African revolutionary leaders, and not just with Black Africa, he further sharpened contradictions with the Nation of Islam leadership, especially Elijah Muhammed. Then Malcolm X would profess his identity and admiration for revolutionary leaders of Our America, such as Fidel Castro and Ché Guevara, questioning whether the strategic thing was “being black” or “being revolutionary.” This dilemma persists today for the Afro–Colombian movement, a powerful force for emancipation and transformation in Colombia, which has managed to significantly influence the nation’s political agenda. Certainly, the project of emancipation in America is inconceivable and becomes unviable without black and indigenous liberation. That is why we should turn our gaze to Africa. However, on France’s two visits to Africa, he failed to engage in dialogue with the ongoing African liberation organizations and processes. In Ghana he met with the president who openly promotes the conspiracy against the countries of the African Sahel. He also appeared at a press conference with an Ashanti chieftain, notorious in Ghana for his corruption and starring in politics. Socialist revolutionaries in Ghana watched with sadness that a black leader from Latin America, from a left–wing party, showed no affinity with the African left. Black identity and the struggle against structural racism is and has been a key point in the unity building of the African American diaspora. It has been a 500-year struggle, fraught with unimaginable sacrifice and suffering. Black identity against the systemic racism of the white and mixed world is legitimate and necessary. The difficulty lies in the fact that black identity is not the epicenter of the liberation project in Africa, but the decolonization, the confrontation with imperialism and the revolutionary transformation of its societies.Africa is not a monolithic continent; there are pro–imperialists and anti–imperialists, as well as left and right; also exploitative bourgeois and exploited workers. These factors are decisive in the African liberation struggle. At COP 16, held in November 2024 in Cali, there was a clear misunderstanding between the Afro–Colombian movement and the delegates from African countries, precisely for that reason: black identity is not decisive in the African struggle, as it is taken in the struggles of our America. Here emerges the debate and tensions that have existed between identity struggles and revolutionary struggles, where the latter focus on class identity, between exploited versus exploiter. The unity of class and the unity of identity need not quarrel, for there are multiple points of encounter. The meeting of the two in a strategic project of emancipation is vital to achieve the revolutionary transformation we desire. The black and the Indian in the Petro government are interesting topics for a current debate. Comandante Antonio García Source: ELN Voces
This is how I feel. I am not a democrat, liberal, socialist or any other colonial political or economic design.
#LandBack to me means exactly that - LandBack to the Native Nations. #Decolonization means LandBack and full non-custodial Native Nation #Sovereignty - which is a win-win for everyone in reality.
Colonial systems, different or new politicians and even eternal voting will never fix or reform colonial systems. It is designed that way.

We've opened a call for papers for the workshop "Contested Imperial Endings", seeking to encourage a comparative discussion on dissolution of several European empires, with a greater emphasis on those which unravelled in the aftermath of post-1945 European decolonization.

I made this Inclusive BJJ #starterpack for #bluesky
go.bsky.app/CeRsDfk
and then found a bigger one Kesting made called Anti-fascist BJJ. 
I guess I'll keep mine and see what I can find. Can't have too many I guess.
More or less leftish, human rights supporting, critical thinking, anti-racist, #antipseudoscience, #antifascist #BJJ practitioners. #Abolition/ #decolonization/ #FreePalestine oriented.
This has the basics on Palestine by Palestinians. If you're new or curious about it, this is perfect. The first episode had some #history and the second is on the student anti-genocide protests, which you can use as a refresher.

The #TRANSMAT project culminated last week with the conference ‘Decolonising Museums and Colonial Collections. Towards a Transdisciplinary Agenda and Methods’ and the opening of the exhibition ‘Facing the Colonial Legacy in the Museum’, both hosted by the Santos Rocha Municipal Museum in #FigueiraDaFoz.

The early cross cultural marriages between Chinese men & Indigenous women occurred more often back in the gold rush & railroad building days because Canada had the head tax on Chinese people & also it was mostly men allowed to come here to work. There were very few Chinese women allowed to come into Canada. The Chinese men worked for basically colonial slave wages, like Indigenous workers - both were paid far less, for same work, as their white coworkers.

Sometimes being mixed-race is awesome. There are so many traditions to rediscover and uphold. Other times it psychologically hurts: being part colonizer and part colonized, having had the culture bred out of you by #whitesupremacy and #assimilation. And still for others, they've never had the privilege of passing for white, as I have.
#antiracism and #decolonization will free us all.
Sitting & waiting to sign some documents & then can get out of this place, full of unmasked plague spreaders - at least for a few hours until I can bring my client her new air filtration unit.
As I'm waiting, am reading up more on how to make reef balls out of broken seashells. Getting ahead on some research that will help me to help better with several projects along our coasts to restore Indigenous shellfish gardens & utilize the nature engineering powers of bivalves to restore some ocean ecosystems that were destroyed by acts of greed fueled colonialism.
#NativeAmericaCalling: A new wave of resistance against #Trans #Native relatives

"Trans #NativeAmericans face a new wave of #resistance
"Iowa is testing new legal limits as the first state to remove gender identity as a protected class in the state’s civil rights code.
"The Trump administration is also removing transgender service personnel from the military. And the State Department is using existing law against #fraud to bar foreign #TransgenderAthletes from entering the country, something critics worry could be used to ban any trans traveler.
"After years of progress, Native American trans residents are facing a major rollback of favorable laws and policies. Tune in to hear about the current public climate and what might be in store for the future."
