"Contrary to the grim depiction of Africa by Band Aid, my childhood experiences in #Nigeria were very much the opposite ... Conversely, in the 1980s, my family’s relocation to the UK was a time of significant struggle for me."

"Commentators have called out the song’s condescending lyrics, the insinuation that Africa is a single country, the depiction of Africa as a place of despair, and the use of demeaning imagery."

"Band Aid’s 2024 remix of “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” along with its previous versions (1984, 2004, 2014) is currently under heavy criticism in the UK."

🧵 4/4
Since the civil rights era, none of these issues have been addressed in any significant manner during *Democrat* administrations. In short, I do not believe that America has suddenly shifted further to the right due to Trump; it has always been this way.

🧵 3/4
It is the only developed nation without universal healthcare; there is virtually no safety net for those who experience hardship; and it's a highly punitive country with the death penalty enforced in many states.

🧵 2/4
As someone who is not American but lived in the United States for several years, it has been my observation that America has consistently leaned towards the right regardless of the party in power.

"Collectively, all these elite decisions to bow to Trump make it feel like the air is going out of the old liberal order.”
- Adam Nichols of #RawStory

IMHO, the so-called "old liberal order" wasn't as liberal as many like to believe.

Who is still subscribing to
#TYT after its pro-Trump transformation? 😲Are these folks new MAGA fans?

Maybe the remaining "progressive" subscribers are secretly part of the "anti-woke left" club!

Of course, some may be inactive subscribers who are blissfully unaware of this ideological shift. 😴

“My school years during the ‘Band Aid era’ were tainted by ostracization and condescension. Similarly, the Global North continues to exploit Africa while patronizing it with initiatives such as Band Aid.”

Today (October 5th) marks the sixth anniversary of the day that American TV producer Terrence Woods “disappeared” while filming with a British TV company. Woods’ co-workers claimed that he “ran down a cliff.”

"Ultimately, there are no reasonable explanations for the disappearance of Terrence Woods – other than foul play. And there are many indications that this was likely to have been racially-motivated; yet to this day, those responsible remain unaccountable."

Just a few random thoughts...

1) The *prosecutor* is saying a condemned man is innocent - why isn't the DOJ intervening?

2) In the past, the authorities have waited until the last minute to stop the execution. I wonder why they do this.

3) Why did #marcelluswilliams lawyers take so long to make the case on his behalf?

4) The whole thing is so barbaric... we might as well be living in the Middle Ages.

Thanks to everyone who has shared this petition.🙏🏽 I have posted on all my other platforms & received very little engagement.

The 11 shares to date on this platform has been the best response so far but it's not enough.

I don't live in the US anymore, but IMHO, if this kind of thing can happen during a Democrat administration, I'm wondering whether there is any meaningful difference between the two parties. 🙁
