Former Panther, BLA member, and political prisoner Russell Maroon Shoatz described “the mosaic” as a model of what’s possible. It helps us see beyond the posturing and corniness that pervades US left sects, which remain stuck. Here's my latest for @prismreports.org. prismreports.org/2026/04/28/l...

We need a mosaic movement, not fragmented ‘leftism’

Instead of a call for resentment-filled “unity” or traditional fronts, we can look to what Russell Maroon Shoatz called “the mosaic”

I always assumed that brain function had to line up with cytoarchitectonics. It turns out I was wrong. Human cortex, especially PFC, is tiled by chains of functional patches that subdivide and interlink architectonic areas into parallel processing streams. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
