#BlackMastodon #BlackTwitter #Palestine #Sudan #Congo #Rohingya #Somalia #ukraine @blackmastodon It's hard for me to be online now. The world is on fire and govt leaders just watch while women's children all over the world are being slaughtered. Brings back so many memories of the Rwandan genocide. Everyone just watched while a million people were murdered in the open. I'll leave this Jose James cut with you. The female vocals are Hindi.Zahra. https://youtu.be/fzfEfYcQ1ck?si=xoaeu-3TT1-8FJpX
