Too many of us who have spent our lives studying the history racism in this country were dismissed as hyperbolic and hysterical and biased and people who have not studied this history and were willfully blind to the truth of America and been wrong about it all were uplifted as the voices of reason.

NEW: GoFundMe strictly bans fundraisers for “the legal defense of financial and violent crimes,” yet is currently running one “to help pay for any legal services” for the ICE agent who killed Renee Nicole Good. Its conflict is not even the least bit contestable.

Here is someone I trust to help direct support to families who cannot leave home right now while ICE is in Minneapolis. Please give if you can. I am donating.
my teacher friend asked, if people have more to give, to help meet the goal on this rent relief fund they have set up for families unable to live home due to their status.
if we did $2k in 20 minutes we can do $24k by the end of the day, right?
please amplify!

EXCLUSIVE: @laurenweberhp.bsky.social & I have spent the last year collecting school+county-level vaccination data from across the US and found that only about 28% of counties now have herd immunity for kindergartners from measles—that leaves about 5.2mn kids unprotected.

U.S. vaccination rates are plunging. Look up where your school stands.
Take a look to see what the kindergarten measles vaccination rates are in your area.

1/ THREAD: This year ICE has sent a record 600 immigrant kids into federal shelters, more than in the previous four years combined. Data suggests some are being separated from their families.

#OTD in 1943, an editorial in the Seattle Times supports the continued incarceration of Japanese Americans. The author states that it is impossible to definitively prove loyalty. To prove their allegiance, they should "regard their present confinement as their war contribution."
