Here's one of the 1st articles I wrote: it's about KKK infiltration in Ohio and the Kluckeress's who really fueled the movement. (probably gonna edit and rename this one soon too.) ko-fi.com/post/Greetin...

James Stout@jamesstout.bsky.social · 14h agoto add: The west is going to burn, fire has been here longer than the USA has, many Indigenous land management practices work alongside fire. Rather than focusing on who started a fire, we need to work out how to live with fire and how the city became a tinderbox and how to help people right now.
Im excited about this! I was on book tour for 2.5 years on 2 continents and I have never talked about this. At The Sanctuary in Oakland, August 23.
Like. We have to start from, we all understand that Nazis are bad. But does the average indoctrinated American citizen understand that the US is too? From my experience - no. I’ve discussed this topic & argued OP’s point for years online & IRL. A common response is incredulousness or rejection.
Lupita Nihongo@otsumamiboy.blacksky.app · 2y agoEvery now and again I think it's important to recommend this book. It drives home the understanding that we live in a connected eco-system and that evil doesn't simply manifest in a vacuum. Nazi Germany studied American fascism, particularly Jim Crow, very closely before committing the Holocaust.
i would say this is the core of the problem. We don't take anti-Black and anti-Native violence seriously, when the literal Nazis did. They took Andrew Jackson's notes so seriously that Hitler wrote about admiring the Trail of Tears and reservation systems- reducing the KKK to being "silly"
Coriolus Nimrod@coriolusn.bsky.social · yesterdayYeah, but the KKK have long been viewed as marginal, clownish peckerwood halfwits by most everyone. They don’t scan as radical racists who hold broad national institutional power. I don’t know who the archetype for that in the U.S. is. Woodrow Wilson?
Which elides the fact that 1930s Germany was inspired by the US of A.

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 agoWhen 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.

We rightfully talk about Ruby Bridges being the first Black child to integrate an all-white school in the South at 6-years-old. But we don’t talk nearly enough about Lucille Bridges, her mom ✨

Lockdown people are so funny. They pull out their hair at the fact that schools were closed for five minutes, and then you ask them if they actually want to educate poor and minority children and they’re like of course not
y'all this ain't a bot account I'm just the opposite of technologically savvy.
It established yet another line over which the settlers would supposedly not expand. Inevitably settlers did continue past this line, breaking another of their own agreements and leading to further resistance and another confederacy of Native resistance under Tecumseh in 1810.

not my phone force capitalizing "white" during Black August...in my birthday month. rude.
this meme was inspired by my spouse turning to me and saying "Ohio really only makes Astronauts and Evil huh?"
My neighbors are being forced to wear ankle monitors, I felt it was a good time to bring up Ohio's Black Laws. This is one of the first pieces I wrote to challenge the myth of Ohio ever being Pro-Black. Monitoring/regulation of Blk folks movement is so very Ohio open.substack.com/pub/sundowno...

Black August is a good time for all Afro descendants surviving the United States to consider what we give to these spaces. Remember to keep some things to your chest. Fort Agents are watching And they love colonizing our ideas
Am told at the blue ash Ohio ICE office today that a bunch of springfield Haitians were told to just “check in” at are now having ankle monitors put on them, which, uh….. they’re not supposed to be fucking doing that
Music Man us having a normal Sunday! But yes, he’s refusing to quit the race with some dignity.
The Rooster@rooster.info · 3d agoI am expecting Music Man to double down. But generally speaking, as a Congressman in an increasingly contested district, you’d like to avoid a scenario where a “special announcement on X” is a sentence you’re typing, let alone one that causes 60% of people to think you’re going to quit like a dog.
Here's a "both sides" article on the issue (the writing of which I don't admire) that explains the situation in broad strokes: www.clevescene.com/news/clevela...

If the strike happens, I hope other authors will be prepared to support the workers. The librarians, yes, but also the people who work the counter. The people who clean the buildings. The people who deliver books across the city from branch to branch.
