  1. [content note: mention of lynching, sexualized harm, and murder of a child]

    Another fact:

    Yes, that Julia Ward Howe. Writer of the Battle Hymn of the Republic. Which was an appropriation of John Brown's Body, a communally-created song in honor of an abolitionist who opposed slavery by shooting people.

    "Women are stripped to the skin in the presence of leering, white-skinned, black-hearted brutes and lashed into insensibility and strangled to death from the limbs of trees. A girl child of fifteen years was lynched recently by these brutal bullies. Where has justice fled? The eloquence of Wendell Phillips is silent now. John Brown’s body lies moldering in the grave. But will his spirit lie there moldering, too? Brutes, inhuman monsters—you heartless brutes—you whom nature forms by molding you in it, deceive not yourselves by thinking that another John Brown will not arise." – Lucy Parsons, 1892

  2. Moss used to convict graverobbers in historic Burr Oak Cemetery near Chicago

    Moss basically provided proof of WHERE remains had been moved from and a timeline.

    curveball in this whole story, the investigation led to finding Emmett Till's original casket was just in a garage in the cemetery under a tarp. Till had been exhumed a few years earlier & reburried in a new casket (according to state law) but original casket was assumed lost. Nope! It was moved to the Smithsonian after rediscovery.

  3. It may be true that the #law cannot make a man love me, but it can stop him from #lynching me, and I think that's pretty important.

  4. A significant number of users within #Nigeria openly celebrated the violence, framing the abuse as justified. Others, both locally and internationally, have expressed outrage and alarm.

  5. Iranian telegram channels sharing mobile phone content of some of the people caught by security forces, with gruesome images and videos of #lynching & burning #police, #firefighters, #EMTs & civilians accused of being regime supporters

    It is really sickening to watch

    I said the day the riots started that the plan was to create chaos & create "martyrs" for next phase of the #RegimeChange program, but I have no idea that it would be this barbaric

  10. @nullagent Despite everything else happening right now, the #DonaldTaylor shooting cannot be swallowed by the news cycle. This was a #lynching . The officer who murdered him must be held accountable, as well as the Broward County police that attempted to cover it up.

  11. #RufusPTurner was a #polymath and a frigging #genius at a time #whitefolks were #lynching people like him--us.

    "At age 17 he wrote the first of his nearly 3,000 articles, mostly having to do with radio electronics"

    "With 40 books on #radio #electronics to his credit[...]Turner, who also wrote #books on #technicalwriting"

    You'd think that he'd get his due in the #engineering community. If anyone is aware of a #autobiography or #biography post it now!

  13. A MAN WAS LYNCHED YESTERDAY !

    The body of "Trey" Reed, a 21-year-old freshman from Grenada, was found just after 7 AM Monday, September 15, 2025 hanging from a tree, near a pickleball field.

    He had both a broken arm and broken leg. It happened on the central campus of Delta State University (DSU), a predominantly white school.

    Trey's mother told reporter Mike Suriani that she last spoke with him on Friday and that he was excited to start classes at DSU.

    We are all responsible for this. Its not just Mississippi problem, or a black problem or a white supremacist problem, not even a USA problem. And we all can end it right now.
