Re-learning from Auntie Audre and working to focus my rage with precision.
left side has a pic of audre lorde-black black, lesbian, mother, warrior, poet, with hands by her face. right side white text on black background that says, "Women of Color in America have grown up within a symphony of anger at being silenced at being unchosen, at knowing that when we survive, it is in spite of a world that takes for granted our lack of humanness, and which hates our very existence outside of its service. And I say symphony rather than cacophony because we have had to learn to orchestrate those furies so that they do not tear us apart. We have had to learn to move through them and use them for strength and force and insight within our daily lives. Those of us who did not learn this difficult lesson did not survive. And part of my anger is always libation for my fallen sisters." left side: white text on black background, "Every woman has a well-stocked arsenal of anger potentially useful against those oppressions, personal and institutional, which brought that anger into being. Focused with precision it can become a powerful source of energy serving progress and change. And when I speak of change, I do not mean a simple switch of positions or a temporary lessening of tensions, nor the ability to smile or feel good. I am speaking of a basic and radical alteration in those assumptions underlining our lives. " right side, pic of audre lorde-black, lesbian, mother, warrior, poet, with hands in her pockets

And the MSM which hasn't cared less about two previous mass mobilizations will all be sending their people out in the hopes of covering some burning trash cans. Because that's how they "cover" protest in this country.

I don't think it's going to work out in the way they think because what they are doing is to actually promote the protest and the date in a way that the organizers can't on their own. So lots of people will now be searching: October 18 protest who would have had no clue before.

They are not planning "a violent crackdown" on 10.18. What they are doing is sending a signal to their shock troops to try to cause havoc. But those shock troops will be vastly outnumbered. Go out and protest freely. Do not be cowed.

Black families tend to have strong preferences against nursing homes, usually driven by concerns of inadequate care. Seeing that Black nursing home patients have significantly worse outcomes, and that they are driven by *within-nursing home* differences in care, confirms this suspicion.

Nursing home value-added for black patients is 30 percent lower than for white patients, with most of the gap reflecting differences within, rather than across, nursing homes, from Liran Einav, Amy Finkelstein, @nealemahoney.bsky.social, and James C. Okun www.nber.org/papers/w34324

If you’re in Chicago —

One way to help is support these small Latino businesses.

Many communities are experiencing massive slowdowns because people are scared to leave their houses, and so people aren’t shopping, eating out, going to the carnecerias and panaderias.

Support our small businesses.

It was a common practice post-Reconstruction to refuse to seat politicians elected by newly enfranchised Black men, especially on the local level. White ex-Confederates were MORE upset about having local Black officials because, as they would say, those people actually impacted the daily life.

If you're watching the situation in Chicago from afar & want to help, on the off chance you have spare $$, you can give to the Midwest Immigrant Bond Fund, which posts "bond for individuals held in the custody of ICE w ties to IL, IN, KY & WI who cannot afford to pay"

This regime hates Black people. They won't employ us-no matter our expertise because we don't have the credential of whiteness. They see us as criminal. “They’re not going to be good in 10 years, in five years, in 20 years, in two years they’re going to be criminals. They were born to be criminals”

When I see this, I wonder if people realize that Jim Crow racism in the American south was a type home-grown fascism. It was not (just) a superficially genteel system of social deference. Refusing to defer was often met with incredible violence designed to terrorize the entire Black community.
