#SeptimaClark's papers at @avery_tweets and LDHI are two important archives of her intellectual production. Her writings reflect the depth of her brilliance and political savvy. ldhi.library.cofc.edu/exhibits/show/… #MLKDay #CiteBlackWomen
For example, her handwritten essay "Good-bye Jim Crow" encapsulates her analysis of the political reverberations of the Civil Rights Movement and its impact on U.S. society. #MLKDay #CiteBlackWomen

Black women wrote, theorized, and organized throughout the 1960's with Dr. King, not in his shadow. It's important to remember that, and remember that the ideas and politics that emerged from this moment that we celebrate today were built out of community. #Mlk #CiteBlackWomen
When we share quotes #onhere, at times we run the risk of keeping our engagement with Black women's work at the level of soundbites. Let's always remember to acknowledge depth, genealogy and legacy. The tweets re just one element of the work. #MLKDay #CiteBlackWomen
So please, if you can, click the links. Read the work and follow up with your engagement with the quotes by reading the texts that our community takes the time to share. We work hard to get this information out there. Let's build that by sharing & reading. #CiteBlackWomen👏🏾📚✍🏾❤️

In honor of this profoundly ignorant tweet, we need to educate people more than ever about the real American history.

So one like = one atrocity committed by the US. Stupid resister says America was a leader on social justice.
1. George Washington Orders the Genocide on the Haudensauneee
2. George Washington used his slaves teeth to get his dentures made. It was common practice in the day for Dentists to "buy" teeth from slaves to use as dentures.

Two important points from the Varadkar/Tusk’s Tess conf today. 1) Varadkar’s primary objective is to minimise the damage caused to his country by Brexit. There will be damage, and it will have been caused by UK’s decision. 1/europa.eu/!FX83nh via @EC_AVService
Has anyone in UKGov, or most of the popular media, devoted even a minute to considering that fact? In other times, this would be considered a hostile act. A key reason we are not in those times is the EU. 2/
And 2) right at the end, Tusk is asked if Jeremy Hunt should resign for his USSR comparison. Tusk whistfully replies “That’s not my problem”. And it isn’t. It’s UKGov, and by extension, the whole of the UK’s problem. 3/

Two important questions that few take the time to meditate upon:

“What advice would you give yourself if you had the chance to go back in time and meet 15-year-old you?”
&
“If you keep going in that direction day after day, do you think you’ll be satisfied in 2 years? 5 years?”
Most people will look at you with big eyes:
“Oh, I never thought about that. Hmm...🤔”

Some get defensive.
They are submerged by regrets they tried to bury & use irrational excuses in order to not face their lies:

“Let’s not talk about that, it makes me anxious!”

😔
Picture the waves of an ocean reaching the shore.

You’re standing there & you have two possibilities:

1) trying to stop the waves from coming with all your might, because you think they harm you

2) accept that they are coming regardless of your will & realize it’s doesn’t hurt

#Important:
Yesterday late afternoon #Russia/n forces took 3 positions in Qusseyr and Juseh and established checkpoints. #Hezbollah, not informed of the Russian presence, came close to these forces and asked their immediate pull out+
Following the direct intervention of President Bashar al-Assad, the Russian force pulled out this morning and avoided any clash with #Hezbollah in the area.

hezbollah maantin and kept all positions. The #Russia/n move was not coordinated.+

#Hezbollah did not...I repeat, did not pull out one single element from the area.

I spoke to people on the ground: The Russian decision was unclear and considered unwelcome by the forces on the ground. Still, many elements of this move are unclear.

1/ Manu (The progenitor of Humankind)
All different races of Mankind are derived from Manu and Shradha. The current Manu is Vaivasvata Manu.
2/ The word Manu literary means man but it is a title given to the progenitor of mankind. According to Hindu Puranas there are many kalpas (One day of Lord Brahma the creator) and each Kalpa has 14 manvantara and each manvatara has one manu. So basically each Kalpa has 14 Manus.
3/ The current manu of the present manvantara is Shraddhadeva or Vaivasvata Manu of this current Kalpa. He is the son of Vivasvat (Probably Surya) and is therefore also known as Manu-vaivasvata.
