La journaliste Julia Pagé et le réalisateur Frédéric Lacelle sont allés à Philadelphie, aux États-Unis, pour rencontrer les membres d’un groupe qui se présente comme le Black Panther Party for Self-Defense. Armés d’AK-47, les membres du parti patrouillent dans leur voisinage pour défendre les citoyens contre la violence policière.

USA: Die Rückkehr der Black Panthers gegen die Polizei?
„Alle Macht dem Volk, keine Macht den Bullen!“ In #Philadelphia, einer Großstadt im Nordosten der Vereinigten Staaten, sind schwarze Aktivisten mit Sturmgewehren auf den Straßen unterwegs, um die Demonstration gegen die #ICE, #Trumps Einwanderungsbehörde, die sich zu einer regelrechten neofaschistischen Miliz entwickelt hat, zu unterstützen und zu schützen. Ihre Präsenz wird auf der anderen Seite des Atlantiks wahrgenommen und in den Medien stark thematisiert. Ist dies die Rückkehr der Black Panthers?

Earlier this year, as they do every year since 1979, the state of New Jersey posted a $2M bounty on Assata Shakur's head as their most wanted person.
The US continues to this day to jail several elderly and dying Black Liberation activists of Assata's generation, she was one of the free living heroes of that era and I'm glad she got to experience freedom (albeit outside of America) for most of it.

The question of definitions, particularly around the “Fediverse” and its relationship with the ActivityPub protocol (AP), has become messy due to the influx of #mainstreaming people, this has sparked a lot of mostly unhelpful debate. Let’s be clear, there is no real “Fediverse” without #AP. Since Mastodon’s shift to AP, the entire Fediverse has been built around this protocol. Trying to separate the two or debating the definition at this point feels a reactionary and more noise than signal.
One thing that these #mainstreaming people find hard to understand, thus except, is that the Fediverse isn’t an organized movement but rather a disorganized space full of mythos and traditions. The only solid thing, for better or worse, is the badly implemented ActivityPub protocol, and even that is a work in progress, and not without issues. Outside of AP, there are meany different protocols and projects that bridge into this a loose, difficult to define neatly #openweb path. Yes, things are changing, and let’s engage with these changes, focusing on fighting over abstract definitions is not very productive.
Now, onto the tricky topic of the “dominance of white, techno-libertarian guys” in the space. While it’s an issue worth acknowledging, it’s not practically very central, it’s a part of the messy path. The Fediverse is built on #4opens and #DIY principles. It is best to ignore if you can or tolerate the presence of techno-libertarian individuals, as these people are largely noise rather than core to the project. The real barriers to entry are basic technical skills and community-building. This space is actually perfect for the #fluffy side of any activist movement, including a potential #BPP (Black Panther Party) reboot that needs to happen.
Then there’s the idea of “protocol supremacists” using ActivityPub to reinforce their dominance. Yes, you can smell a bit of this, but it’s not actually important or widespread as some people push. The Fediverse was built with almost no money and very little power, so there’s not much for people to hold onto in terms of control. The gatekeeping you see is real from a few players, but they’re not too bad (so far). However, you’re right that things are likely to change as more institutional power and #NGO types enter the space.
Our internal fixations on insider language like “Eternal September” and “Eternal November” is just this, insider language that’s not particularly useful for most people. The focus remains on the core issues of community-building and the challenges of maintaining the decentralized, #openweb ethos in the face of outside pressures.
As for the racism and toxicity that exists, in huge amounts in the #dotcons and in some corners of the Fediverse, the key is this: Don’t go looking for the worst people, and if they find you, block them quickly. The community is built on #4opens and #DIY principles, meaning you have control over community spaces. Building a supportive network takes time, but once established, you can block out the toxicity effectively. It’s a chicken-and-egg problem—build your community first, then deal with the bad actors as they come.
Finally, let’s talk about the lack of digital drugs—those addictive elements you find on #dotcons like Facebook or Twitter. The Fediverse doesn’t have these hooks, so getting people to stay when things turn messy is harder than you might expect. This is why community-building is so crucial. Activist communities need to focus on strong #4opens process and then support networks and positive action based paths to create spaces people want to stay in, despite the inevitable challenges.
The #Fediverse is messy, yes. But within that mess, there’s a lot of potential. It’s up to us to cultivate it.

A forum thread on socialhub brought up a powerful parallel between the radical demands of the Black Panther Party (#BPP) and the underlying values of the #fediverse and #activitypub communities, especially in their attempts to build outside the corporate-controlled paths. The metaphor is striking because both seek liberation, self-determination, and the creation of alternatives to oppressive systems.
- Freedom and self-determination, the #BPP’s call for freedom to determine their community’s paths, has a native overlap to the motivations behind the fediverse, which is a path to free people from #dotcons corporate control. This empowering of people to manage their communities, and engage in social media on their own terms, much like the BPP sought to control their community’s political and social future. But there is a problem, this self-determination is undermined by the “narrow and intolerant” behaviour, in the fediverse communities which are still shaped by power dynamics, gatekeeping, and elitism. Much like the BPP’s fight against internal and external forces, we need to challenge invisible embedded paths in tech spaces.
- Ending exploitation and economic Injustice, the BPP’s demand to end capitalist robbery mirrors the desire within the fediverse to reject the exploitative model of #dotcons, profiting off users’ data, labour, and attention. Projects like #Mastodon and the wider #openweb reboot offer an alternative that resists the centralization, monetization and control of user information. Yet, despite this anti-capitalist ethos, there’s still a tendency for devs and leaders in these communities to pursue funding, recognition and status that mimics the capitalist incentives of the #dotcons. The challenge is to remain vigilant about how easily a “safe” or “open” community can be co-opted by external economic pressures, just as the Panthers struggled to protect their movement from state infiltration and capitalist influence.
- Housing, education, and technology as commons, the BPP’s demands for housing and education highlight their belief in basic human rights, which could be translated into the tech metaphor as the right to access technology and information as commons. The #4opens represent this principle, ensuring that tools, processes, and knowledge remain transparent and accessible. It’s about creating “decent housing” for digital life and an “education” that uncovers the true nature of our technological paths. The struggle, many open communities drift toward becoming insular, where the tools and education are not readily accessible to newcomers. It requires more effort to lower the barriers and broaden participation beyond the #geekproblem to genuinely serve as commons, much like the Panthers sought to broaden political education beyond academic elites.
- Community defense and police brutality, the Panthers’ emphasis on ending police brutality and defending their community aligns with the need for safe spaces in the digital world, spaces free from corporate surveillance, trolling, and abuse. In the fediverse, moderation and safety tools resemble a kind of “community defense” against harmful actors, trying to keep the space healthy and productive. This policing of communities within the fediverse can take a rigid, intolerant form, which creates an exclusionary culture where non #mainstreaming voices are marginalized. Just as the Panthers sought accountability and fairness in how their communities were policed, Fediverse communities need more humane and community-led governance models, like #OGB, to avoid replicating the authoritarian systems they’re fighting against.
- Radical ideals vs. narrow paths, both the BPP and the fediverse, in their own ways, strive for radical change, whether it’s systemic racial justice or the liberation of the internet from corporate interests. But both face the dilemma of narrow paths, in the BPP’s case, the movement’s radical vision was met with state repression, which forced them into narrower, defensive stances. In the fediverse, the movement for open, decentralized media is constrained by internal divisions, ideological rigidity, and an intolerance of diverse views. The key here is not to narrow the vision to protect it, but to expand it, making space for more people and voices. This means mediating conflicts through trust and transparency, rather than exclusion and elitism, a struggle shared by both the BPP and the #openweb movement.
- The path forward, to “compost the mess” in the fediverse, we need to apply some of the same principles the BPP fought for, building movements that are rooted in collective empowerment, community defence, and transparent, accountable governance. This means, challenging the internal hierarchies that mirror the social structures we’re resisting. Expanding participation and avoiding the elitism and exclusionary paths that choke out growth. Emphasizing practical tools (like #OGB and #4opens) to manage conflicts, maintain openness, and ensure the tech commons remains genuinely for the people.
By looking at the #BPP’s history, we see both a radical vision and the internal/external challenges that can derail a movement. The fediverse can learn from this, the real threat to its growth isn’t just external corporate forces, but the narrow, rigid paths it sometimes enforces within. To stay true to the “native” path of liberation, it must embrace messiness, diversity, and openness. The Panthers’ slogan “Power to the People” resonates deeply here, digital power should truly belong to the people, not gatekeepers.

Political prisoner and wife get #mural in East# Oakland
On Monday, April 24, friends and family joined together to celebrate the unveiling of a new mural on the East Oakland Youth Development Center. The mural holds significance for many reasons – from the rich history of radical #BlackPower the Black Panthers held onto to form their organization and to protect their community to the depiction of Black lovers.
The lovers in question are none other than #Mumia Abu Jamal and his late wife #Wadiya Jamal, who passed away last year near Christmas. Mumia Abu Jamal, the Black Panther Party’s Minister of Information for the Philly chapter, has been wrongfully imprisoned for 41 years. Despite the circumstances, Mumia, his family and his many international followers have maintained hope and courage in the face of cruelty. (...)

Eine Nachricht von Mumia Abu-Jamal
(...)
ich habe Mumia gestern gesehen, und er war tief betroffen von dem Schlag, der Schwere, der herzzerreißenden Enttäuschung: dass die Freiheit wieder aufgeschoben wird.Ich brachte ihm die 38-seitige "Stellungnahme" von Richterin #Clemons. Er las die Worte sorgfältig und holte zuerst seine Lesebrille aus seiner Hemdtasche. Er beugte sich vor und las jede einzelne Zeile. Worte, die geschrieben wurden, um ihn zu begraben. Worte, die dazu bestimmt waren, die Hoffnung auszulöschen. Seiten, die ihn binden würden. Ein Gutachten, das die Leibesvisitation vor und nach jedem Besuch beibehalten würde. Eine Anordnung, die ihm das Essen und die Bewegung verweigern würde, die sein gebrochenes Herz und sein Herzleiden heilen könnten. Seiten, die ihn von seinen Urenkeln, seinen Brüdern, seinen Söhnen, seiner Tochter trennen. Worte, die ihn daran hindern, die heilende Umarmung seines Volkes zu empfangen, während er um #Wadiya, seine im Dezember nach 41 Jahren verstorbene Frau, weint und trauert.

There are several iconic works that I find myself compelled to revisit at this time of year. I first read The Autobiography of #MalcolmX: As Told to #AlexHaley when I was 14, and it changed my life. "By any means necessary" resonated more with me than "We shall overcome" as I observed the injustices around me. And the #BPP's "Power to the People" — a phrase I first encountered via #PublicEnemy, lead me to want to learn more about #BobbySeale, #HueyNewton, and the Party...
