Brand new study just out from Nature, started in '23. They proved that when using X's algorithm, users became more conservative.
"We find that switching the algorithm on, substantially shifts attitudes on policies and current political news towards more conservative opinions."

A Bay Area mob drove them out in 1924. Now their descendant is suing the city. SFGATE's Olivia Hebert delves into the history behind a dark chapter in a wealthy Bay Area enclave's history.

Marco Rubio did give a speech, to a roomful of Europeans, on the #MAGA #KKK cult panic of #whiteGenocide by calling USA a “child of Europe” and NATO a “cultural cohesion” in danger of “civilizational erasure”.

the sociologist Robert Jay Lifton used the concept of “islands of totalism” to explain why, what i call "little fascisms", thrive in the USA.

Rubio’s speech is an example of how cultists use rhetorical violence to sell their paranoia and delusions as normal; even aspirational.

I find strength in picturing #PamBondi w/ dark roots, in an orange jumper, serving 5-10.
After all, Nixon's #AttorneyGeneral John N. Mitchell got 2-4 years in jail. He was #convicted of conspiracy, obstruction of justice, & perjury (which we all saw this week from #Bondi re: #Epstein coverup).
He served only 19 months; was eventually buried w/ *full miilitary honors* at Arlington National Cemetary, of course.

Today, in honor of Black History Month, we remember Flo Kennedy, who was born on this date February 11, 1916, in Kansas City, Missouri. Kennedy was a lawyer, feminist and civil-rights activist. As a lawyer, she represented Billie Holiday, Charlie Parker, Assata Shakur, H. Rap Brown, and Valerie Solanas (for her attempted murder of Andy Warhol). In 1972 she formed the Feminist Party and filed an Internal Revenue Service complaint alleging that the Catholic Church violates tax-exempt requirements by spending money to influence political decisions. "I'm just a loud-mouthed middle-aged colored lady . . . & a lot of people think I'm crazy. Maybe you do too, but I never stop to wonder why I'm not like other people. The mystery to me is why more people aren't like me."

She grew up at a time when the KKK was quite active in Kansas City. She remembered her father had to have a shotgun to keep them safe. "My parents gave us a fantastic sense of security and worth. By the time the bigots got around to telling us that we were nobody, we already knew we were somebody." As a young woman, she moved to Harlem and enrolled at Columbia. She was refused admission to their law school because she “was a woman.” She knew it was because she was black. So, she threatened to sue them and they admitted her. She was the only black person among the eight women in her class.

As an activist, she once said, "we have a pathologically, institutionally racist, sexist, classist society. And that niggerizing techniques that are used don't only damage black people, but they also damage women, gay people, ex-prison inmates, prostitutes, children, old people, handicapped people, native Americans. And that if we can begin to analyze the pathology of oppression… we would learn a lot about how to deal with it." As early as 1966, she was picketing and lobbying the media over their portrayal of Black people. She played a prominent role in the protest against the 1968 Miss America Pageant. After the Attica prison uprising, she said, “We do not support Attica. We ARE Attica.” She also participated in the 1973 protests at Harvard over the lack of women’s bathrooms. When asked why she participated in the pouring of urine on the steps of Lower Hall, she said, “I'm just a loud-mouthed middle-aged colored lady with a fused spine and three feet of intestines missing and a lot of people think I'm crazy. Maybe you do too, but I never stop to wonder why I'm not like other people. The mystery to me is why more people aren't like me.

In addition to her activism and legal work, Kennedy also acted in the films “The Landlord” (1970), adapted from Kristin Hunter's 1966 novel, and the independent political drama “Born In Flames” (1983), directed by Lizzie Borden. She also acted in “Who Says I Can't Ride a Rainbow” alongside Morgan Freeman.

First, they wouldn't agree to a rainbow flag at #Stonewall #NYC; #Biden administration agreed. Then, they wouldn't agree to the modern rainbow flag. Now, they won't fly any rainbow flag, while other flags are given "limited exception(s)".

I try to avoid superlatives in my writing, but there is simply no question that this is the most flagrant display of presidential racism since Woodrow Wilson screened D.W. Griffith’s “The Birth of a Nation” in the White House in 1915. And for a sense of the racism of Griffith’s film, recall that it both reinvigorated the Ku Klux Klan and gave the organization its modern iconography.

AP details on the man brought to the ER because he "ran into a wall" but hospital could tell was a lie. ICE used a metal baton on his head, which is lethal force, & broke his skull in 7 places. He should not have survived this attack but the feds refuse to investigate or prosecute.
A former roofer, he can no longer climb a ladder, or even bathe himself.

There's so much out there, there's a Wikipedia page about it.

Local authorities in #Greenville, #Maine, ordered the #IWW #union to leave town, and sent in 40 members of the #KKK to threaten them. On #ThisDayInHistory in 1924, 175 IWW members began patrolling the streets, looking for Klansmen to fight. The state & its thugs fear #solidarity.
