Boston's historic Harriet Tubman House sold by @UnitedSouthEnd and demolished... for LUXURY CONDOS.

Thread 👇🏿
Since 1908, the Boston Harriet Tubman House was the historic community hub for Black and working class people in the South End — until it was demolished to make way for luxury condos. ImageImage
In 1904, six Black women — including one of Tubman’s friends Julia O. Henson — rented the first Harriet Tubman House at 37 Holyoke Street in the South End to provide shelter to other Black women who had just moved from the South. Image

Today the world is celebrating the 200th anniversary of the birth of Friedrich Engles, renowned across the globe as one of the greatest revolutionaries and theorists to ever live.
Engels, who along with Karl Marx founded the modern communist movement, was born on November 28, 1820 in what was then the Kingdom of Prussia. He dedicated his life to the revolutionary struggle of the proletariat to free itself from capitalism and usher in a new era of history.
Beyond the key documents he co-authored with Marx, Engels’ work has stood the test of time as an essential guide for successive generations of revolutionaries who want to understand the world in order to change it.

Statement last year from renowned Native leader and political prisoner Leonard Peltier, who has been unjustly incarcerated for more than 44 years: "The year is coming to a close, and with it comes the day most Americans set aside as a day for Thanksgiving." Image
"I try to imagine what the people who live outside the prison gates are doing, and what they are thinking. Do they ever think of the Indigenous people who were forced from their homelands?" Image
"Do they understand that with every step they take, no matter the direction, that they are walking on stolen land?" Image

Biden is wasting no time putting together his thoroughly anti-worker, ultra-militarist government. Let's take a look at these cabinet picks. THREAD:
Long-time Biden aide Antony Blinken has secured the position of Secretary of State.

Blinken was Deputy Secretary of State during Barack Obama’s presidency, where he supported the disastrous war on Libya which created the conditions for the enslavement of Black people in Libya.
Earlier in Blinken’s career, when he was a top aide to then-Senator Joe Biden, he supported the invasion of Iraq and advocated the colonial-style partition of Iraq along sectarian lines.

PSL STATEMENT on the defeat of Donald Trump

More than 70 million people voted to oust Donald Trump. This was not a vote for Joe Biden, a truly uninspiring candidate who became the nominee when the Democratic Party ruling class establishment united to stop Bernie Sanders in March Image
Nor did the historic voter turnout for Biden signify support for his pro-Wall Street, pro-war positions and his role as an architect of the current system of policing and mass incarceration.
This morning the major corporate-owned media networks all announced that Joe Biden had sufficient electoral college votes to become the next president of the United States.

Right wing protesters have mobilized in several hotspots across the country following Tuesday’s election, using intimidation tactics in an attempt to tip the scales for Trump.
In Detroit yesterday a crowd of right wingers stormed a vote counting center to demand that absentee ballots not be tabulated, chanting “Stop the count!” The Trump campaign filed a lawsuit to halt vote-counting.
The racist character of the protests is clear considering Detroit is a city that is 79 percent African-American. On Nov 5. the Michigan Court of Claims denied the lawsuit, and counting is expected to continue for now.
