The Great Militarization
The content examines President Trump's proposed National Guard deployments in cities historically significant to the Great Migration. It analyzes how this rhetoric reflects ongoing racialized policing, demographic shifts, and the cultural importance of these urban centers to Black Americans. The comparison emphasizes the strategic use of language in framing community narratives.

Canada: We need to do the same. Municipalities, elected officials, public services have NO BUSINESS posting on rigged platforms.

Meta, X are actively eroding democracy via paid content by bad actors. Stop legitimizing them with your presence. #ElbowsUp #CdnPoli #TheGreatMigration

"Five features, [Charles Burnett's] unofficial Los Angeles cycle, made in the course of 25 years, explore the spiritual and material effects of class striving and family maintenance in the transplant city," Doreen St. Félix. www.newyorker.com/culture/crit... #TheGreatMigration #KillerofSheep
Play It Again, Charles Burnett
Over the years, the director’s early films have been lost and found, forgotten and celebrated. But what about the work that came after, or that never came to be?

Women being transported from Memphis, Tennessee to an Arkansas plantation, July 1937.

#memphis #tennessee #arkansas #africanamerican #thegreatmigration #worldwarii #america #photography #dorothealange
The image depicts four African American women sitting on a bench or cart, dressed in casual clothing and wearing wide-brimmed hats. They appear to be waiting for something or someone, as their expressions are neutral and contemplative. In the background is another person who seems to be part of the group but is partially obscured from view by others. The setting appears rural with open skies suggesting an outdoor environment during daylight hours. There's a sense of stillness in the image, captured without any visible movement or action taking place at this moment. Overall, the photograph conveys a historical context and tells a story about these women possibly being transported to another location for labor-related reasons as part of the Great Migration from rural southern states seeking better economic opportunities. The black-and-white nature of the photo indicates that it is an old image, likely taken during or before World War II. The caption provided suggests this photograph was associated with "Women being transported from Memphis, Tennessee to an Arkansas plantation," indicating a historical context related to migration and labor in America's southern states during those times. The specific dates mentioned are July 1937; however, without additional metadata information about the image itself (such as EXIF data), it is not possible for me to confirm this with certainty based on visual analysis alone. This phot [...]

Deleted Facebook and Instagram today. Although I will miss all of the connections I made on those platforms, in the end, it's all an illusion. Being connected on social media is not the same as being connected in real life. My true friends will always be with me.
