Trump Sanctions Will Doom Dollar Supremacy

President Trump’s massive use of sanctions as a weapon of US policy “has put the world’s financial, monetary and trading system into crisis,” said Duboisian scholar Dr Anthony Monteiro. If the US persists in monetarily bludgeoning its adversaries, the nations of the world will “create a basket of currencies” and invent ways of trading “without using the dollar,” said Monteiro.

US Follows Anti-Black Model in Immigration

The US has criminalized immigrants, just as it has used the criminal justice system to control and oppress African Americans, said Ben Ndugga Kabuye, of the Black Alliance for Just Immigration. The crime bills of 1994 and 1996 “criminalized immigration at a level that has never been seen before,” making a host of offenses grounds for deportation,” said Kabuye.

Black Women With Guns

From Harriet Tubman to female members of the Black Panther Party, Black women have always played a role in armed resistance in the United States, said Jasmine Young, a doctoral fellow at the University of California’s Department of African American Studies. Young is working on a manuscript titled, “Black Women with Guns: Armed Resistance in the Black Freedom Struggle.”
