Black Panthers founded October 1966
Run-DMC JMJ way. I bet this is a happening street.
Its important, we communicate
and tune the fate of this union, to the right pitch
I never call you my bitch or even my boo
There’s so much in a name and so much more in you
Few understand the union of woman and man
And sex and a tingle is where they assume that it land
But that’s fly by night for you and the sky I write
For in these cold Chi night’s moon, you my light
If heaven had a height, you would be that tall
Ghetto to coffee shop, through you I see that all
Let’s stick to understandin and we won’t fall
For better or worse times, I hope to me you call
So I pray everyday more than anything
friends will stay as we begin to lay
this foundation for a family - love ain’t simple
Why can’t it be anything worth having you work at annually
Granted we known each other for some time
It don’t take a whole day to recognize sunshine #thelight #common #likewaterforchocolate #goodmorningworld
75 Percent of all ‘Honey’ Sold in Stores Contains no Honey at All | World Truth.TV
this is our reality today. there is no olive oil in olive oil, there is no honey in honey, there is no chicken in chicken broth, there is no milk in ranch dressing—but we have an “obesity crisis” NOT a “food crisis.”
the whole WORLD is quickly moving to “food desert” status cuz NOBODY is eating actual FOOD anymore—but we all like to think if we just get little godless urban kids to grow a garden or get those mean old blood mouths to go vegan, things will be fucking OK!
BUY THE RIGHT THINGS! THAT WILL STOP INJUSTICE.

The Black Panthers - Photographs by Stephen Shames
In 1966, as the largely nonviolent Civil Rights movement swept through America, Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale founded the legendary Black Panther Party in Oakland, California. Revered by some and vilified by others, the party burst onto the scene with a militant vision for social change and the empowerment of African-Americans. Its methods were so controversial and polarizing that in 1968, FBI head J. Edgar Hoover described the organization as the country’s greatest threat to internal security.
During the height of the movement, from 1967 to 1973, photographer Stephen Shames had unprecedented access to the organization. He captured not only its public face—street demonstrations, protests and militant armed posturing—but also life behind the scenes, from private Party meetings to Bobby Seale at work on his Oakland mayoral campaign. Shames was prolific and his archive of Panther images is the largest in the world, presenting an uncommonly nuanced portrait of this dynamic social movement. Released on the occasion of the Party’s fortieth anniversary, this illuminating publication gathers an astonishing collection of never-before-published images, offering an electrifying visual history. Panther newspapers, posters and other ephemera help convey the ethos of the Panthers and of a transformative period of social upheaval for the whole nation.

New Revelations About NYPD’s Muslim Spying Program
(Police informant Shamiur) Rahman told the AP last year that he made about $9,000 over nine months spying widely on friends and others. He said the NYPD encouraged him to use a tactic called “create and capture.” He said it involved creating conversations about jihad or terrorism, then capturing the responses and sending them to the NYPD.
