Folks are treating the recent tech layoffs as something spontaneous. They were not. Apparently the current layoffs were orchestrated by hedge funds.
This hedge fund demanded that the big tech companies lay people off because they were being paid too much. Let that one sink in: a hedge fund manager saying that you're being paid too much.
Note that TCI is demanding that Google lay off more people.
Billionaires should not set climate policy.
Billionaires should not set water policy.
Billionaires should not be setting any policy.
Billionaires should not be platformed to give opinion on crises & injustices they helped create & have financial stakes in monopolizing policies on.
Billionaires should not exist.

Because of his empathy and care for the poor, sick, and marginalized, Jesus and those who emulated him would be labeled a radical left #woke mob by so many who claim to come in his name in these days.
They'd be the opposition to be exterminated.

As we mark a decade since #SandyHook, we need to lament that over 100 Americans die every day from gun violence.
Our collective humanity cannot have peace with this.
We cannot tolerate such indecency.
The grief of loved ones demands our steadfast passion and our sustained outrage.

Those of us who live with chronic depression are never surprised when someone outwardly filled with light leaves prematurely.
We know there is often zero correlation between a person's outward expression and their internal condition.
We all understand the performance.

Professor Brückmann (@historleans): I've been researching the lives of 9 formerly enslaved Black men who enlisted with the 47th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry (in 1862 and 1864). I'm currently in the process of purchasing their respective U.S. military service and Civil War pension files from the National Archives, and have created a website to make those records and their bios freely available to the public. Am hoping you and your students find it helpful:

This DEMANDS more media coverage: Poll released two weeks found 40% of Republicans now strongly/somewhat SUPPORT the Jan 6 attack. Only 29% of Trumpers now strongly disapprove of Jan 6. Today's GOP has embraced violence. This is FASCISM! https://www.latimes.com/politics/newsletter/2023-01-06/jan-6-republicans-mccarthy-speaker-essential-politics

What constitutes "real American values" has been used before in a foreign-funded domestic fascist movement.
In Ken Burns "America and the Holocaust" and Rachel Maddow's "Ultra", historians describe the typical antisemitic fascist playbook using identity politics.
The wealthy always try to turn America and the UK away from rules-based pluralistic democracy and towards despotism using these same tired hackneyed clichés.
https://t.me/United24media/3409 ⚡️🇵🇱 Russia must not be allowed to come out of the war with a "clean face," – Polish President Duda. “To secure the world, Russia must be defeated in this war. They cannot win this war because they will immediately start another,” he said. #Ukraine #News #War #Russia #NoAsylumForTerrorists #GiveUkraineM1A2Abrams
