So infuriating to think back to the Rufo et al. CRT and DEI and Claudine Gay witch hunts and their protests that it wasn’t about racism, and then fast forward to today where he’s struggling with “the Indian Question” along with a literal publisher of fascist material—but it doesn’t even register.
Seth Cotlar@sethcotlar.bsky.social · 3w agoHere’s Chris Rufo and his podcast co-host addressing “the Indian question,” a reference to “the Jewish question.” That question was whether Jews could be incorporated into European society, and the Nazis were the ones who claimed to have developed the “final solution” to that “problem.”
whether it's ignoring rape or killing Black people—police training will not solve the problem.

So, it’s not a conspiracy, and you are not imagining it. The biggest and wealthiest tech leaders are genuine fascists. They are leading an active and intentional systematic attack on labor. And they have radicalized each other while sidelining or removing the remaining decent execs in the industry.
yep, i will note that the fugitive slave act was used to try to kidnap free blacks and sell them into slavery
Ansley Erickson@ansleyerickson.bsky.social · 2mo agoBreaking my heart this morning: “Fitting ankle monitors on noncitizens without a criminal history who remain in compliance with their immigration cases has little precedent.” True in the narrowest sense. False given how the history of slavery and peonage roars through each part of this story.
A new study shows that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and over $1 trillion every year. The new research out of Yale shows that reductions in administrative overhead, lower pharmaceutical prices, less fraudulent billing, and fewer emergency care trips would lead to huge savings. /1

Instead of assuming I don’t know what I’m talking about and telling me basic things we all learned in US History classes, I will just urge more of you to scrutinize the things you were taught in primary education institutions.
After a months-long occupation, Minnesota is still recovering from a retribution campaign waged by the federal government. Now, Minnesota stands with Houston in demanding accountability for the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. This bloodshed cannot be normalized.
ICE is not about immigration. ICE is not about the southern border. ICE is about normalizing paramilitary force on our streets. It cannot be reformed. It cannot be retrained. ICE must be abolished.
It’s been six months since the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Here is how the federal government has stonewalled investigations, and how Minnesota law enforcement is attempting to push for accountability anyway

Six months after she and Alex Pretti were shot on the streets of Minneapolis, little has come of the probes into their killings.
