After last week's passing of #China's so-called #SecurityLaw, simple everyday tasks like solving CAPTCHAs from AI companies with customers from “all over the world” have become so much more daunting 🛩️😰 📸

After years of protest, #Berlin finally renames its subway station “Mohrenstraße” (containing Germany's very own racist M word) to “Glinkastraße”, after Russian composer Mikhail Ivanovich Glinka.

This is such an important reminder for me as a _white_ person: to never rest assured that I got this inner racism problem figured out.

Because if even anarchist scholars – who are passionate proponents of equality and usually highly sensitive to unjust power dynamics – are haunted by white supremacist structures as big as the Marshmalllow Man, I better shut the fuck up and start listening.

In these days of global #BlackLivesMatter protests and #juneteenth celebrations, I #amReading Stowasser’s German book #Anarchie! about the history of #anarchy.

And boy does it feel off how _white_ anarchism is supposed to be:

• #Bakunin – white;
• #Proudhon – white;
• #EmmaGoldman – white;

Am I supposed to believe that a movement of freedom and equality for all mankind has never appealed to Black folks?

Luckily, this Black Anarchism Reader filled in some blanks:
