Another line of attack the FBI used, which was related to Kwame Ture’s support of the 1972 BIA takeover, was to show the links between Black Power and AIM. The Black movement was framed as more violent and therefore another “outside” influence in the Native movement.

Happy birthday, Karl Marx. I remember reading your brief manifesto for the first time in 2005. It opened the world to me.

My good friend, Sarah Hernandez, published this beautiful book, We Are the Stars, about the Oceti Sakowin literary tradition. It’s the first book of its kind by an Oceti Sakowin scholar. Get a copy: https://t.co/oWrAbn255l https://t.co/JzmevK3s6q

The power of Mike Davis’s “Prisoners of the American Dream” is that it shows how the US ruling class bought off parts of the working class with nationalism and racism thwarting the formation of a mass working class party. The failure of the book is that it is not read enough. RIP

The Red Deal by @The_Red_Nation was inspired by the People’s Accord. Except we took it a step farther recognizing what it means to be Indigenous and fighting for socialism and decolonization in the imperial core. We hope you read it. It was written by many authors and movements. https://t.co/6VduqWT4cf https://t.co/v0qMdAfJIY
