I've been collecting radical ephemera, vinyl, and books, and keeping an online archive via Substack (link in bio).
I acquired a press photo showing Gray Panther co-founder Maggie Kuhn at a 1974 demonstration in Chicago, outside an American Medical Association meeting at the Palmer House Hotel.
Many don’t know about the Gray Panthers, a group organized in the 1970s to fight age-based discrimination — ageism.

They are not dressing as KKK.
They are the KKK.
Teenagers dress as KKK for Halloween party—walk down neighborhood street yelling N-word.
"We hate [N-words] !"
they yell terrorizing families.
Other teens laugh & encourage them to shout more hate.
"One, two, three — bye [N-words] !"
Boy filming calls them "the team"—so maybe those under the robes could be identified as participants in high school sports together.
Witnesses say the crowd first gathered for a Halloween party at a residential house.
Then the group wearing the KKK costumes decided to march down the residential streets & scream the N-word.
Incident occurred on the Eastside of El Paso, Texas.

Random, but kinda related:
I was talking to my baby about how patriarchy sucks because it gendered jobs. So many boys could become nurses in Chicago with our massive healthcare network that is always hiring. You can enter at 70k. I wish it was encouraged more.

I read this article and I find the headline misleading because I don’t see an actual number tied to this claim.
AND it’s interesting that Black men are specifically highlighted in this article when midterm elections generally have lower turnout amongst all demographics.
Hundreds of thousands of Black men are sitting out elections in Ohio. Almost no one is asking them why. ms.now/news/ohio-black-men-v…

After watching “Your Mother, Your Mother, Your Mother”, I’ve realized I’ve been robbed of Muslim action heroes in this country.
