Almost 10 years ago, I co-founded @solidarityresearch with comrades from the Industrial Workers of the World. Our work is at the intersection of solidarity economies and racial justice.

Please support our work as a birthday gift for me and so that we don’t end the year in the red: yvonnegraphy.com/2023/12/03/two…

Capitalist exploitation takes away from us all of the things that liberalism claims to promise us. You don’t have freedom and Liberty. You have bills and a shift sacrificing identity for a paycheck and what little peace you get from not causing too many issues.

Capitalists are now democratizing exploitation. For as little as $100, you can directly invest in the manufactured scarcity and price gouging of a basic human need (shelter), aka landlordism.

Capitalists are referring to decolonization (resistance against genocide) as genocide. Capitalist governments are equating valid critiques of the Israeli state (zionism) with antisemitism. Soon, criticizing capitalists & their politicians will be deemed a class-based hate crime.

In this crazy, unequal, and racist world, Somali people are called 'pirates,' but not the British, French, and other countries trolling their waters and stealing Somali people's fish.

Bourdain's criticism of Kissinger falls within the reasonable limits of critique of Empire. So long as its focused on individuals rather than the system it's basically alright. He considered bombing Libya and Syria a charitable move, thats far more revealing of his worldview.

We're under no obligation to allow war criminals, oppressors, and enemies of the people to die in peace. The masses have suffered far too much from their actions and the capitalist ruling class they represent. Manners are important in a just world. We don't live in a just world.

Bezos is the quintessential capitalist. He made a fortune by exploiting our labor and used that fortune to hoard shelter from us. He wins big, we all lose big. Capitalism in a nutshell.

Henry Kissinger, one of the world’s most notorious war criminals, has finally died. Let’s take a look back and remember him for all the things he did: 🧵👇

A reminder that Kissinger was a horrid person w/horrid politics. Here is a piece I co-wrote with Elias Khoury Hampton Institute on a man whose foreign policy has harmed so many

Black celebrities and entrepreneurs aren’t the standard. The average black personal is working class and will and will always be working class. That’s not an issue and there’s power in that. But we can’t utilize that power until we embrace that position. We are the majority.
