Essential reading from @carolecadwalla.bsky.social. Not comforting, but it helps me set my compass for survival & resistance.

Item 15 from Rebecca Solnit: "If they try to normalize, let us try to denormalize. Let us hold on to facts, truths, values, norms..."

Fight their lies with truth & values.

And she did not stop at the military. The profession itself had to integrate too, including the American Nurses Association.
Her work got recognized at the highest levels, including the NAACP’s Springarn Medal

She even met with power players like Eleanor Roosevelt, and kept the heat on until the restrictions started falling.
By war’s end, the doors were pried open, and that “segregation but it’s fine” nonsense could not survive daylight.

But Black nurses? Blocked or capped by quotas in the military nurse corps.
Staupers, working through the National Association of Colored Graduate Nurses, goes to war politically: op-eds, lobbying, meetings, organizing pressure where it hurt.

Staupers shows up in Harlem as a teen (born in Barbados), becomes a nurse, and then looks around like, “So y’all really just locking Black nurses out of the jobs and the institutions.”
Then World War II hits and the U.S. is screaming about shortages.

Today for Black History Month my focus is:

Mabel Keaton Staupers

She fought with paperwork, pressure, and pure stubborn backbone, and changed a whole profession anyway.

The propaganda effort to disassociate Jews from Israel, including Judea and Samaria, as well as undivided Jerusalem is absurd. International law, the French Court of Appeals of Versailles (volokh.com/wp-content/u...) & Qur’an (5:21 & 17:104) recognize rights of Israel.

Snopes verified that the DOJ published & then removed this document. The allegations stemmed from an unverified, anonymous message to the FBI. They were unsupported by any credible evidence.

HOWEVER, shouldn't it be investigated?
Does it sound far-fetched? NO!

Despite the Act’s restrictions, total immigration levels continued to rise, leading to even more restrictive quota laws in 1921 and 1924. The 1917 Act, as amended, remained a foundational piece of immigration until its major revisions in 1952. /end

Wilson vetoed the Act primarily because of its mandatory literacy test, which he believed contradicted American ideals by excluding worthy immigrants who lacked education. He felt it closed the traditional “gates of asylum” and punished those who were denied opportunities in their homelands. /7

Economic protectionism played a role alongside nativism and racism. Labor leaders argued that immigrants were flooding the job market and competing with native-born citizens during a period of economic instability. Exemptions were made for professionals, students and their families. /6

The law widened the categories of “undesirables” prohibited from entering, including criminals, people with mental or physical disabilities, alcoholics, paupers, and anarchists. The uncertainty of WWI provided a pretext for Congress to pass stricter, national security-focused restrictions. /5

The Act was founded in pseudo-scientific theories that deemed immigrants from these regions “undesirable” or “inferior” compared to those from northern and western Europe. Congress also aimed to maintain the existing social fabric of the U.S. by reducing the influx of Catholics, Jews and Slavs. /4

Immigrants over the age of 16 were required to prove they could read 30 to 40 “ordinary” words in their native language or another dialect. This was primarily intended to curb migration from Southern and Eastern Europe. The Act also increased the head tax on incoming immigrants to $8 per person. /3

The Act created a vast “barred zone” defined by specific latitudes and longitudes, effectively banning immigration from most of Asia and the Pacific Islands. Notable exceptions included the Philippines (then a U.S. colony) and Japan (governed by the 1907 Gentlemen’s Agreement). /2

Today in history, 1917: Congress passes the Immigration Act of 1917 (the Burnett Act) over President Wilson’s veto. The Act significantly restricted immigration through broad geographic exclusions, particularly in Asia, literacy requirements and higher taxes. /1
