She argues that while proliferation of newspapers were important to the political info of early America, especially in the late 19th c, it was actually the U.S. Postal service and people’s habits of letter writing in early 1800s that was most essential to the establishment of translocal civic orgs.

Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"?
Well, it happens they were doing exactly that.

Feb. 1, 1960, 4 NC A&T students sat-in at the “whites only” counter at Woolworths in Greensboro. Their defiance ignited a movement led to the birth of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee.

This is also an extremely common cause of death for incarcerated Americans in federal & state custody, btw. All of these systems are connected.
As far as we know, the primary cause of death in ICE custody is a refusal to provide medical care.
It’s a form of structural violence and extremely common component of eugenics and ethnic cleansings.

Yesterday at the Portland ICE protest, Portland cops were literally *right there* when ICE started teargassing the crowd, which included children and the elderly.
Most cops stood around silently while people begged they do something. A lieutenant who was actually responding said "that's too bad"

Any Seattle cop who refuses to defend the people of Seattle against violent federal shock troops should be fired immediately. Full stop.
