🧵 On my drive back from Oregon yesterday I stopped by the Tule Lake WWII Japanese concentration camp. It is now a vacant lot with only the stone monument seen below to mark the location & history.

Today in Music History May 21, 1904: Jazz legend and piano master Fats Waller was born. His creativity and innovations in the Harlem stride style of piano playing influenced much of the jazz that followed. During his career, he copyrighted over 400 of his compositions. He started playing piano at age six. As a teenager, he studied with the stride piano master, James P. Johnson. In 1926, he was kidnapped by Al Capone’s men and forced at gunpoint to perform for the gangster’s birthday party. In the early 1940s, he became the first African American songwriter to compose a hit Broadway musical.

John Roberts exposed as an architect of America's democratic decay.

No surprise there.

Just thinking of the generations before us who fought and sometimes died for the ideals they believed in and I was taught as a child.

Right and wrong no longer seem to matter to most people in this country.

i hesitated to post this, that i'm making light of someone with mental health issues. but this is mental health issues insofar as it's the end product of #entitlement

it's emblematic of what is going on in the #usa now

and this isn't about rules. that's the conceit for her to channel her real feelings

what is it about these crowds feels threatening to her? i wonder what?

🤔

she wouldn't be acting like this if these were white crowds: she wouldn't feel threatened by that

Report: Israeli soldiers said the army ordered troops to kill any man they encountered in Gaza from Oct 7 2023.

“A man, no matter what age, don’t play games with it; kill immediately," were the orders. "We need to kill him - yes, even if he is completely unarmed.”

“They even told us that if it’s a woman or a child, use your judgment, because things happen."

Mocking accents spreads unjust, offensive stereotypes

I was sitting in class when the person next to me began to imitate an Indian accent. At first it seemed like lighthearted fun, but when they mentioned the words “curry” and “cheaper,” I grew annoyed.

Interview: Forensic Architecture describes Israel's continual expansion into, & planning for permanent occupation of, Gaza.

Israel has now extended beyond the Yellow Line & taken "control of at least 64% of Gaza".

The nearly 2 million Gazan population is almost entirely confined to Palestinian-controlled territory along the coast.

When the current #SCOTUS first ate away at the #VotingRightsAct a few years ago, the logic they expressed was essentially, "Racism is over, we don't need this anymore."

talkingpointsmemo.com/live-blo… proves that we very much do need it: systemic #racism is and always has been an essential feature of the #USA, and #Trump and the #GOP's mission has been to codify it as much as possible.

Never, ever vote #Republican.

For those wondering where this current death cult came from:

The ideology worshipped by Musk, Thiel, et al. was embedded in the city state ~6000 yrs ago.

Its class-based slavery differed from before, when enemy men were killed & women & chn enslaved & "integrated".

The ideology demands that men kill & die for the king & that women produce the cannon fodder.

The ideology requires the violent repression of "soft" feelings for fellow humans & nature.

For those not sure when, how, & why the Palestine conflict began:

In 1917, Britain planned for a pro-British Zionist outpost in the Middle East.

They also hoped to keep European Jews out of western Europe (antisemitism).

So, in the 1920s, Britain brought them in & gave them Palestinian land without consulting the indigenous owners.

The strife began... & continues.
