“It is no outcome of genetic destiny, for example, that in Canada Indigenous people suffer more illness & die earlier than others. Racism & poverty do get under the skin, in so many ways”

In his book, •The Myth Of Normal,” the good Dr Gabor Mate takes a “trauma informed look at how two major social determinants of health - race & economic status become biologically embedded”

from @notjustbikes..."I like the BlueSky feature of "Starter Packs," where people can make a list of accounts they like, and with one click you can follow them all.

But it's absolutely insane that you can't *remove* yourself from somebody else's list. People are making "Starter Packs" of accounts to harass and sharing them with their followers."
My daughter also had a problem with a pack. She is getting slammed with crypto messages. Be careful with the packs.

Shit I ain't gonna lie long time since this happened to me. Got frisked by Houston PD last nite. Cop apologized and said i looked like someone they were asked to look for. Looked like someone???
So all black men look the same to HPD?
This shit is so fkd up !
Just want to know you had this happened to you?

This is a terrific piece tht traces how the #Reagan admin created policy tht increased #food prices, reduced #grocery store competition, killed 1000s of grocery store #jobs.

This Reagan #deregulation allowed corps to engage in unfair price fixing tht disadvantaged smaller grocers leading to reemergence of #FoodDeserts in the 80s to now.

I regularly run into people who struggle with housing and meeting basic needs of survival.

LGBTQ+ BIPoC disproportionately face unemployment, under employment, food insecurity, living with unstable housing or are chronically unhoused.

Yet every time I ask to discuss cooperative strategies I'm either ghosted or attacked personally.

That makes sense among those who believe in class competition, that dog eat dog capitalism defines life, but I often face off with people who promote themselves as advocates for Anarchism and or Marxist/Leninists Communism.

They frequently attack with easy to disprove claims, often identical to Faux Free Market Capitalists — that Co-operatives:
• have been "proven" not to work,
• steal support from "real" activism,
• are popular with hipsters who extract while contributing nothing to local communities,
• only create a few low paying jobs with no benefits before failing and leaving communities worse than before.

Today was a two Karen day, like male and female bookends they were triggered by my riding a bike they "felt" was: A) Odd for a Black person to be riding; (B) Too expensive for a Black person to be riding, so maybe I'd stolen it?; and (C)
needed to tell me they own a much nicer and more expensive one, at which point I said my food is getting cold I have to leave.

These are my neighbors, and now that Trump has won, will be even more insufferable.

"In recent months, Trump has stepped up his pledges to protect law enforcement, saying during a tele-rally in June that his administration would indemnify police officers."

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth !

I'm still not up to Black History! I'm still working through white US history. Bear with me! Almost there!

Q: Why does it seem like everything has to be woke now? Even our scientists?! It never used to be that way! Why does it seem like these days, even higher education has to think about race, when it didn't before?

A: Higher education, including STEM, did think about race before. That history has just been hidden from you. Because racism.

Because of his willingness to play for segregated audiences, throughout much of his life, Louis Armstrong was called a sellout and an Uncle Tom by many Black Americans, But, in 1957, Satchmo blew up-—blasting Eisenhower to bits for not condemning treatment of Black American students in the South. His passionate words made world headlines, alienated many white fans, and divided Black America.
