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.

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.

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
