Assata Shakur, born on this day in 1947, is a revolutionary socialist and former member of the Black Liberation Army (BLA) who became the first woman to be added to the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorists list in 2013.

Shakur grew up in New York City and Wilmington, North Carolina. She became involved in political activism at Borough of Manhattan Community College and City College of New York, participating in sit-ins and civil rights protests.
After graduating from college, Shakur briefly joined the Black Panther Party, leading its Harlem chapter. She left the Panthers and joined the Black Liberation Army, a black power group that was inspired by the Viet Cong and Algerian resistance movements and waged guerrilla warfare against the U.S. government from 1970 to 1981. Shakur was one of the targets of the FBI’s COINTELPRO program.
After being involved in a shootout with New Jersey police officers, Shakur was convicted on multiple counts of assault and murder and sentenced to life in prison. In 1979, BLA members freed her in a bloodless prison escape.
Shakur successfully sought political asylum in Cuba, where she died on September 25, 2025, at the age of 78

I hope you nerds have a good month of July 
Remember no crackers
I asked this before in the general mega thread but it’s probably more appropriate here: do chasers view Thailand the same way foreign sexpats view Latin America?
I’ve noticed how they talk about the trans women in Thailand the same way sexpats talk about Latin American women
Yes. It’s a hotspot for sex tourism for both women (cis and trans) and children by western men. The Philippines and other SEA countries as well tho those two are the most often talked about iirc. For trans women tho its definately more Thailand.
yeah the philippines is the spot for western pedos
Since Ziohran dropped his “I lied UwU” video, he’s vowed to arrest Hamas leaders, AYE-COOOOOOOOONDEMN-ed 10/7 (again), and publicly mourned the death of a child-killing war criminal
I’ve noticed that it’s been all quiet on the Copdani front on HB recently. I guess we’re at the “umm why do you care so much about him?” stage of sophistry.
Can’t wait for all the crackers on here to fall head over heels for the next AOC clone!
nothing will change with this site until it reckons with its liberal zionism. the same with platner and piker and its yankee chauvinism.
Zohran is a goofy ass clown for pretending he ever had the power to arrest Bibi and giving life to a ridiculous larp, but he did not “vow to arrest Hamas leaders” at least not the way you’re describing it
He was responding to a rancid zionist “journalist” pulling a whatabout and asking if he would arrest Hamas and understandably instead of larping, inviting legal censure and screaming “Glory to Hamas!” he deflected by pointing out the ICC also has warrants out for Hamas leaders, thereby deflating what is in fact a dangerous legal smear for a Brown Muslim man in America and exposing the hypocrisy of the zionist ghoul who asked that question
Mamdani is brown/muslim people’s Contrapoint or Obama, a lot of the followers are/were former bigots who were compensating and were willing to overlook many red flags just to avoid being seen as bigots or having bigots agree with them.
I swear that I kept feeling like I was being gaslit by all these Mamdani-glazing “leftists.” Like, I was just thinking to myself, “There’s no way you guys actually back this guy. Am I missing something? What the fuck?”
I really think people need to realize that this DSA left" they’re so fond of is just another wing of the Democrat Party, i.e., liberals. It’s amazing how many self-proclaimed Marxists kept earning
s when it comes to this subject.Really shows the power of charisma. Same reason FDR caused so many leftist orgs to split.
I’ve been connecting very well with a wonderful queer Black leftist.
Something about her… I don’t know what it is, but something about her is making me catch feelings quick.
I gotta be careful. I’m really passionate and prone to being a “simp,” but I’ve been better at regulating these tendencies lately.
Things are going well. I’m just gonna continue talking with her and seeing where things go. My main focus is just handling this job, which I’m hella nervous about, but I know that, with time, it’ll stop giving me so much anxiety. After I get my first paycheck, I’m gonna purchase a decent but not overly expensive USB mic and audition for doing audiobooks as a side hustle.
wishing you the best comrade!
Today I was talking to a trans woman and quickly realized she’s still aiming for white supremacy… it honestly felt like a cold wind hitting me when she talked. She was complaining about why people won’t just leave her alone, completely ignoring that she’s playing for the side that literally hates her
Like don’t you know you’re trans? Don’t you know you’re from the Global South and getting exploited? You’re trying to be just like your oppressors, hoping they’ll accept you while they push everyone else down the hierarchy. It’s such a disgrace. I hate feeling like this. I hate feeling so alone and I hate being able to see right through her facade
I got hired by this place, and my training with them starts on Monday. It’s also remote, so hopefully, nothing weird about “load tests” steps into the room. I don’t think it will. I already completed my onboarding with them, and the training will last a month. It is a full-time position and actually long-term. I love that I don’t have to leave my home to do the work, so it sounds like a win.
However, I got some anxiety when I read these policies on having a “professional appearance” for video conferences:
- Hair must be clean and well-groomed in a reasonable style.
- No hats or head-coverings that impede a clear view of your face. Scarves and hair-wraps are fine so long as they do not violate another policy (obscene patterns, etc.)
Because I have freeform dreadlocks, I probably don’t fit this “well-groomed” or “reasonable style” description they’re talking about. After reading this, I actually decided to wear a (solid black) Rastacap during the interview, and they took no issue with it, so I take it that the Rastacap is not invalidated by the second bullet point there. I guess one could call it a “hair-wrap.” Regardless, it is such a goofy, performative, and LARPy thing for them to have these stringent guidelines on one’s appearance in video calls for a job where you’re not actually even seeing customers, just talking to them on the phone.
Either way, if they do try to go after me for either the Rastacap or the freeform dreadlocks, that can be a violation of anti-discrimination laws, I’m sure. Though I’m not actually a Rasta, I thought it might be in my favor to cap (pun definitely intended) and tell them that I am so they get off my ass for the sake of avoiding religious discrimination. I don’t think it will actually get to that point, though.
In addition to this, I am looking into narrating audiobooks as a side hustle of sorts. Unfortunately, because of AI, I wonder how long this will even be an option. Either way, I’m gonna navigate finding some side hustle.
CROWN laws vary by state/municipality. 27 states have hair protection laws, with 40 cities/counties having laws regardless of what the state has (North Carolina has a lot of the latter). AFAIK there are lawyers doing work pro bono in states without to try and get the laws changed.
Damn I wonder when all the (cracker) Copdani stans here will have to say about him admitting he can’t arrest Netanyahu. I wonder how they will reconcile this with their previous drooling over this major campaign promise. Oh wow, more “he never said that” gaslighting and lying. What a surprise!
Also, won’t do anything about the illegal land sales but is happy to create speech restriction zones around where they’re being conducted and sicc the cops on protestors.
Actions speak louder than words
Can’t wait for the next wave of “ummmm why do you care so much about the NYC mayor sweaty???” since they have no actual counterargument
They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.
Honestly putting out that statement that he can’t arrest Netanyahu was a ridiculous stunt. And I honestly don’t even really care all that much, for the most part. Its the fact that, as you pointed out, created that buffer zone for protests against the sale of stolen land. Not only that, early on he kept on feeding into the growing “antisemitism” narrative. And after all this time he still has Zionists down his neck. Every news story I saw on his nothing burger statement had interviews with a bunch of malding Zionists.
Also it shouldn’t go without saying, but it also feeds into the growing mainstream Democrat narrative that Netanyahu is the entire problem and not the entity itself.
Give the average cracker “leftist” their bike lanes and healthcare and they will go “fuck you I got mine”, their only problem with throwing Palestinians under the bus is if the bus costs money to ride.
I’m always very skeptical of any woman I meet online who talks in “anime uwu” and calls themselves a “foid”. 99% of the time they regularly browse the dregs of 4chan.
even more disgusting when it’s a woman of color
cis tttt cis tttt cis tttt cis tttt
Saw this happen way too many times, Also applies to friend groups and families
this was genuinely my high school “friend” group (when i came back to amerika a decade ago)
How it feels to interact with white queers.
and ppl (whites) here on hexbear tried to tell me I actually wasn’t seeing “clanker” used against black people as a “funny” stand-in for slurs
“it’s just a star wars thing”, “it’s just used against AI bros”
deleted by creator
90% of the clanker memes were racist, their entire punchlines were dogwhistles about black people.
Wtf
Crackers always have to find a way to ruin things.
I just finished my first full day of Marathon questing while fully kitted without dying and losing my stuff!
love the gamer posting here! i played the marathon open beta but didnt buy it cause i could barely run 60fps on low settings
rn im hooked on cs2 and r6 siege thoughThank you!
The performance is definitely broken lol very inconsistent, game optimization doesn’t exist anymore even the new Halo 1 remake is so blurry I can’t get headshots consistently lol, just aiming at smeared blobs
i still play halo 3 on steam. fps games are literally full of chuds but i still play anyway
but yeah optimization is dead. i recently got a rtx 3060 as a hand me down from a friend who upgraded, and i’m still playing decade old multiplayer games
That game have a hard-core mode? ._.
It has Ranked and Cryo Archive as the hard-core modes, then free-kit PvP and Rook, experimental PvE Cryo Archive (for 2 weeks starting today, then a permanent PvE mode September-ish) as the less stressful ways of playing
Losing your inventory when you die definitely makes the game feel hard-core all the time, but after playing for a while and upgrading factions and vault size I realized the game kind of showers you in loot and the gear tiers differences aren’t that big so it’s not a huge deal when you do die. the stakes are mostly just there to promote learning and to create a pretty unique gameplay style for a shooter with lots of strategic thinking and planning
weather so hot today I almost fainted, I never even got close to fainting from sun heat in my life.
So I was able to get my HRT (and other meds) totally covered this time around. Thank fuck! It’s been raining a shitload so they said they were willing to deliver it for me.

Yay!
I love how you just know a white queer got mad they got called out for being racist with the og meme and had to make up a random black person to be mad about lmao always white before anything elseThis is why I always say my Blackness comes before my queerness.
Never met a poc who said anything came before their race tbh regardless of politics.
It’s rare, but unfortunately, I’ve seen social media slop where this kind of shit happens, such as Black women saying “I am a woman before I am a Black.” In an overwhelming majority of cases, these are the cringy, self-hating divestor types, though, so they’re not really commonplace.
Shakur successfully sought political asylum in Cuba, where she still lives today.
fam, she died last year
Oh yea oops
TIL Ron Paul delivered Mexican-American singer Selena at her birth
