the separation of “#Politics” and “#Government” by society/media is an incredible chess play. To make people disregard one (understandably so) and automatically ignore the other is the power move of all time.

Malcolm’s last speech:
“…in Asia, the Arab word, or in Africa, where the muslims are, if you find one who says he’s white, all he’s doing is using an adjective to describe something that is incidental about him - one of his incidental characteristics. So, there’s nothing else to it - he’s just white. But when you get the white man over here in America and he says he’s white he means something else, you can listen to the sound of his voice when he says that he’s white - he means he’s boss”
There’s no amount of petals on flowers.. For Her.. I’d count every branch in that forest.. Having non-believers mad that they saw it..
Acts of Revenge only Surpassed by the Acts of Love.. Facts of Institutions challenged by the Imaginations of Us.. Rapid charging stations powered by the Sun.. But I must admit.. some of us rely too much on being Plugged In

Did you know? — On this day in 1940 Woody Guthrie wrote one of his best known folk songs, “This Land is Your Land.”
Pictured: Woody Guthrie entertains commuters, 1943. “There’s a feeling in music and it carries you back down the road you have traveled and makes you travel it again. Sometimes when I hear music I think back over my days — and a feeling that is fifty-fifty joy and pain swells like clouds taking all kinds of shapes in my mind.”

“We on our back staring at the stars above,
talking bout what we gon be when we grow up…
I said what you want to be? She said ‘Alive’ ..
It made me think for a minute then looked in her eyes -
I could’ve died…”

Woody Guthrie’s “New Years Rulin’s” from 1942. Wisdom from a working class hero…
My favorite is #33 —- “WAKE UP AND FIGHT”
Christmas Wishes from Space
While orbiting the moon on Christmas Eve, 1968, the three-man crew aboard the Apollo 8 spacecraft—Frank Borman, Jim Lovell, and Bill Anders—offered live holiday greetings from outer space. After describing the desolation and bleakness of the lunar landscape, the astronauts read from the first ten verses from the Book of Genesis. Commander Frank Borman concluded the historic interplanetary telecast—sent to an audience of half a billion people around the world—with the message:
“And from the crew of Apollo 8, we close with good night, good luck, a merry Christmas, and God bless all of you—all of you on the good Earth.”
Two words, United States, no love, no brakes
Low brow, high stakes, crack smoke, black folks
Big Macs, fat folks, ecstasy capsules
Presidential scandals, everybody MOVE
Two words, Mos Def, K West, hot sh!t
Calm down, get back, ghetto people, got this
Game ball, lock shit, dump off, cock shit
We won’t stop shit, everybody MOVE
Two words, BK , NY, Bed-stuy
Two hawks, too hungry, too many, that’s why
These streets know game, can’t ball, don’t play
Every traffic, one lane, everybody MOVE
Two words, Mos Def, black check, hot sh!t
Calm down, get back, ghetto people, got this
Game point lock, long pump cocked
We won’t stop, everybody MOVE
