The black history of Miami, Florida.

A THREAD!

Bahamians were among the first settlers in Miami. The first name on the city charter in 1896, when the city was incorporated, was a Black man named Silas Austin. Out of 368 men who voted to incorporate Miami,162 of them were Black.

I miss this era of Florida. Take me back.

Above all, this backlash is a reminder of why our work is so important. United together, we'll never back down! Join us in calling on Biden to LIFT the Blockade, take Cuba OFF the list of 'State Sponsors of Terrorism,' and give Guantánamo BACK to Cuba.

From the very first US brigades to Cuba, we've been followed, harassed & had our personal possessions seized by Border Patrol & the FBI. Today, we were interrogated clearly in a political nature, with questions designed to obstruct our movement against the blockade.

Let's not forget that our trip to Cuba was completely licensed & legal. This harassment by the US government attempts to scare & intimidate the US people out of traveling to Cuba & building solidarity with the Cuban people. But we know that our solidarity can never be blockaded!

The US says Cuba is a repressive police state, but in reality, we experienced freedom for the first time in Cuba, & when we stepped foot back into the US, we were immediately met with state repression, hostile interrogation, seizure of personal property & illegitimate threats.

This is an onslaught against Cuba solidarity activism. NNOC stands with International Peoples' Assembly & @ushandsoffcuba members detained returning from Cuba this week; as well as African People’s Socialist Party, Puentes de amor, Puerto Rico CSC & Oklahoma activists who have been targeted by the US govt this year.

🚨 Several of our May Day brigadistas were detained, harassed, threatened with jail time & had electronics taken by US Customs/Border Patrol on return from Cuba today. In face of persecution, we reaffirm our right to travel to Cuba. SOLIDARITY IS NOT A CRIME - THE US BLOCKADE IS!

Got my first pair of contact lenses. I’m finally part of the seeing community.

So the contradictions in our colonial situation intensifies.

Y’all ain’t tired of being outraged by the Oscars and these other white award award shows every year?

The best cameras are the ones that inspire you to shoot.

Today is the 160th anniversary of the largest mass execution in u.s. history, carried out on the orders of The Great Emancipator, abraham lincoln.

Yes. What about Guthrie's?

This opportunity to gain is all I got to lose.
