35 years ago today in 1985 the City of Philadelphia dropped a bomb from a helicopter and destroyed 60+ homes, murdering 11 adults and children. The MOVE bombing is a highly touchy subject in Philly but every time I post about either of the MOVE standoffs at least one person (1/)

tells me they learned something new. If you want to understand the militarization of US police forces, and the degree to which the state can get away with mass murder, learn about MOVE. It's deeper than race alone.

Watch Jared Osder's "Let the Fire Burn".

Here's a @CornelWest speech I filmed 5 years ago today on the 30th anniversary of the bombing:

"The day-long broadcast will feature an in-depth examination of the Philadelphia phenomenon that continues to test the soul of the City. On the 35th anniversary of the tragic MOVE bombing, the series of convos will feature new insights on a timeless story"
