Just found this:
Are you interested in fighting #racism and addressing #climate injustice?
Would you like to explore how #theatre, art practices and #agroecology can work together? Are you Black, of African or Asian descent, an Indigenous person or Person of Colour, from a migration background or a white person actively committed to #antiracism? Can you commit to three residential gatherings to collectively develop tactics for #ClimateJustice

I dont support it either and won't unless they include reparations to all of the families of the Chinese in California who were lynched, displaced and dipossessed because of racism here too.

Book: "Juliet takes a breath", author: Gabby Rivera, publisher: PenguinTeen

I am a podcast lover but ones in a while I enjoy reading a book. This morning I finished "Juliet takes a breath" about Juliet's journey of self-discovery. But it also reads as a clear critique on white feminism. Very readable book - for young readers, too.

IMHO "is there #racism on the #Fediverse?" is a misleading and even dangerous question. Hate and -isms have heads as their platforms, and those heads will always be using whatever means their preferred online platforms offer, to attack their targeted groups of humans.

So expect every form of online violence to exist everywhere. Denial doesn't help. It's your job to keep your eyes open, and to speak up and act wherever you encounter that violence.

#Racism influences almost every way to die by #accident in #America, and has for a long, long time. #Black people died by accident at a higher rate than #white people every single year since the earliest counts of accidental #death in America, as far back as 1900

So were some of mine. And I bet it’s true for you, too.

The only people who have trouble acknowledging the bigotry of their ancestors are the ones who want to repeat it.

what the nazi-joke-government claims to be doing: making Finland seem like a good place for international top experts on every field imaginable.

what the nazi-joke-government is actually doing: tarnishing Finlands reputation as a stable civilised nation, making it seem much less desirable country to move into even for the international top experts.

remember that Basic Finn nazi MP who went on a racist slur filled rant just a couple of days ago?

let’s go back for a while to fact check few of his claims.

sure, n-slurs are common when you go through historical documents about enslavement. the difference is, most understand not to use them anymore, while racist assholes want to use them no matter what and on what ever excuse they get. #racism #racismInFinland #basicFinnNazis

Today in Labor History September 10, 1962: The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Civil Rights Leader, James Meredith, could be admitted to the University of Mississippi. White rioters burned cars, pelted federal agents and soldiers with rocks, bricks and shot at them. 31,000 soldiers were sent to quell the violence, the largest ever use of the Insurrection Act of 1807. Two people died. Meredith was harassed throughout his time at the university. He went on to organize the March against Fear from Memphis to Jackson. He also was active in the Voting Rights movement. He went on to become an adviser to the right-wing, segregationist Senator Jesse Helms.

This weekend alone has 5 antigovernment protests in different cities.

Majority of the parliament is living on a different reality then the rest of us.

which can also be seen demonstrated in these “money saving tips” given by MPs to those whose social benefits are being cut.. (picture.)
