Does this person not remember what people in the late 80s and early 90s were dying of across the US in such huge, unconscionable, heartbreaking numbers that now (in the US) is something you can live your life with?

Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

The real communities of people who lived through 'operation w*tback', prevention through deterrence, Bracero, internment, the war on terror, all do have a frame reference beyond Indiana Jones. Reinforcing the idea that the most important political subject is the 'everyday white' is fucking weird.

History is What's Happening@historyiswhat.bsky.social · yesterday

The analogy conflicts with the teaching of American history. That is the problem. But also, a lot of adult Americans do have their own frame of reference. At least at a basic level, they know segregation & the KKK existed, they know slavery existed, they know genocide of Indigenous peoples occurred.

"History involves sorting and organizing hundreds of thousands of facts" I remain astounded by how loud and wrong people are about what history actually is.

Perpetually linking ICE activity to mid 20th century Nazism misses over a hundred years of US immigration law based on racial exclusion AND the very real policies of US empire both domestic and abroad. The US held Haitian asylum seekers in detention camps in Cuba for years as recently as the 90s.

History is What's Happening@historyiswhat.bsky.social · 2d ago

When you pass the buck of American imperialism to the German Nazis, you don't just draw attention to how bad the US has become, you exonerate both the Nazis and the historic imperialists/authoritarians of your own country, since the former were inspired by the latter.

The only press conferences I want to see are Craig Waibel and Adrian Hanauer. Where are the clubs "leaders" right now?

The best away is one where you don't look at any social media at all.

An absolute hero when it comes to fighting government secrecy and bringing to public one of the most important archives in the history of policing.

Devastated to hear of Dr. Johanna Fernandez’s passing. I’ve had the privilege of sharing some spaces with her, and she always kept the main thing the main thing. Power, in/justice, organizing — these weren’t abstractions to study but forces to confront and possibilities to engage. Rest in power.

Average temperatures soared well above normal levels over the past week. This significantly raised evaporative demand in areas across the upper Midwest, northern Plains, Colorado and the Texas Panhandle, where conditions deteriorated rapidly. Learn more: youtu.be/V6zxHCO-WTg #drought2026 #drought

Making a artificial line btwn ppl in a prison who supposedly got "due process" (stares in PIC) and ppl in imm. detention does no one any good-they are all stemming from the same theoretical frameworks of state power and "surplus". call them camps or prisons just realize they are all connected.

Observations on the Failings of Humanity@justinstarren.bsky.social · 6d ago

Jails or prisons imply that the people are in them as a result of due process. That cannot be said of the ICE camps.

At this point I use a home library app on my phone to catalog them all because I was tired of being like "oh this looks awesome" at the store forgetting I already have a copy (or 2). But at home they are def organized by theme, generally regionally, and then by "where the fuck can I put this one??"

There is an unfortunate way that your fave local bookstore might be complicit in this. Around here, small and especially used/rare bookstores have seen an insane increase in online sales from these 3rd party AI sites-and they happily fill them as fast as possible. 💸💸
