REMINDER:

if a white person is using to insult another white person; given that the word is from African American vernacular and itā€™s related to activism, just substitute the word for N*-lover.

as Toni Morrison liked to remind us, there is no without .

Churchill was an absolute enemy of anyone who isn't a racist imperialist tool.

"I do not agree that the dog in a manger has the final right to the manger even though he may have lain there for a very long time. I do not admit that right. I do not admit for instance, that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place."

---- Winston Churchill

Absolute only quote you need from him to decide he isn't anyone worth looking up to.

Teacher in Idaho told she must remove sign saying "Everyone is welcome here" because it had images of hands with a variety of "skin tones."

School officials said "that it was not the message that was at issue, but rather the hands of different skin tones on the poster."

Sadly, we need to know about things like this so that we can oppose them & keep them from growing & reenforcing each other.

Sign saying "Everyone is welcome here" is all capital letters. Beneath the sign is a series of hands of various colors. Each hand has a red heart on it.

Today in Labor History March 9, 1911: Frank Little and other free-speech fighters were released from jail in Fresno, California, where they had been fighting for the right to speak to and organize workers on public streets. Little was a Cherokee miner and IWW union organizer. He helped organize oil workers, timber workers and migrant farm workers in California. He participated in free speech fights in Missoula, Spokane and Fresno, and helped pioneer many of the passive resistance techniques later used by the Civil Rights movement. He was also an anti-war activist, calling U.S. soldiers ā€œUncle Samā€™s scabs in uniforms.ā€ 1917, he helped organize the Speculator Mine strike in Butte, Montana. Vigilantes broke into his boarding house, dragged him through the streets while tied to the back of a car, and then lynched him from a railroad trestle.
