fiercenyc:

The NYPD has declared a portion of Flatbush a “Frozen Zone”, meaning media are not allowed in and people can be subjected to arrest for not following police orders. It basically means the area is under temporary martial law. The last times the NYPD declared a Frozen Zone was on the 10th anniversary of 9/11 and during the beginning of OWS.

Please call 311 to demand that everyone in connection to tonight’s Kimani vigil/march be released from the 71st precinct in Brooklyn. There’s one Malcolm X Grassroots Movement member arrested & two Justice Committee (JC) members arrested. A ton of community members who were at the vigil/march were also arrested. If you have friends/family in NYC please tell them to call 311. If you live in NYC please call 311. Let’s get them free! Please share!

NYPD decided not to release community members and Cop Watchers arrested at the vigil for Kimani “Kiki” Gray. Please call 7182502001 to demand NO charges be brought against all arrested

TRIGGER WARNING: Police Brutality

anarcho-queer:

This video was taken an hour ago (10:45) at the Brooklyn protests against the police killing of Kimani Gray. Police are seen arrested a young black woman, bending her arms behind her back and pressing her head against the concrete with their knees as she screams. I saw police do much worse earlier today. Please spread this video so the world can know how the NYPD is treating the people who are protesting the police murder of a black 16 year old boy.

blackpoemusic:

“How was the creativity of the Black woman kept alive, year after year and century after century, when for most of the years Black people have been in America, it was a punishable crime for a Black person to read or write? And the freedom to paint, to sculpt, to expand the mind with action did not exist. Consider, if you can bear to imagine it, what might have been the result if singing, too, had been forbidden by law. Listen to the voices of Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Roberta Flack, and Aretha Franklin, among others, and imagine those voices muzzled for life. Then you may begin to comprehend the lives of our “crazy,” “Sainted” mothers and grandmothers. The agony of the lives of women who might have been Poets, Novelists, Essayists, and Short Story Writers, who died with their real gifts stifled within them.”

This will never be on the news. But how awesome of this picture to see some light.

omg angels.

@mystiquetoile show this to the dude whining on your fb page

yoooooooooooooooo

this breaks my heart

not because of the extraordinary show of humanity

but because these kids are showing empathy for people who never stop to think about them

In the world imperialist system, compassion sometimes flows in one direction only, from the colonized and exploited edge of empire toward the heart of empire. In the opposite direction flow bombs and pity. I sometimes wonder whose humanity is more intact.

blackfeminismlives:

Broken Beautiful Press is proud to announce a vaguely epic book of list poems by Alexis Pauline Gumbs that consider what it is possible to know about the most famous Black women alive including Oprah Winfrey, Condoleezza Rice, Michelle Obama, Beyonce Knowles, Serena Williams, Venus Williams, Tina Turner, Gabby Douglas, and Aretha Franklin. Part prayer part polemic this project is an intervention into the consumption of Black women. (As if you can possibly know.)
