Today in Labor History September 4, 1957: Nine African American students tried to attend Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. Governor Orval Faubus ordered the National Guard to block them. The students were ultimately admitted. However, they were abused and harassed throughout the year. One girl had acid thrown in her eyes. One of the girls was suspended, and later expelled, for having the audacity to defend herself against the attacks.

Here is footage of the Civil Rights movement, accompanied by Charles Mingus’s “Fables of Faubus.”

“The Orient and Islam have a kind of extrareal, phenomenologically reduced status that puts them out of reach of everyone except the Western expert. From the beginning of Western speculation about the Orient, the one thing the orient could not do was to represent itself. Evidence of the Orient was credible only after it had passed through and been made firm by the refining fire of the Orientalist’s work.”

― Edward W. Said, Orientalism

@thejapantimes Musk also just posted: "Low birth rate is the number one threat to the West, followed closely by migration.

There will be no West if this continues."

Says guy who grew up in a white supremacist and segregated colonialist state founded by his white supremacist ancestors who invaded, subjugated and colonized the far end of the African continent and who owes his entire massive inherited wealth to exploitation (mining of gems) of the subjugated people and the colonized lands.

To no one's surprise Musk admires and supports other colonialist ethno-supremacist regimes like russia and china...

Are 'ordinary mums and dads' making 'bad apples' ?
Caught up in tight-knit webs of hate

“There was a range of grievances on display about perceived immigration rates on Sunday, but it was clear for many that the return to an imagined white Australia was a central theme...It’s not that white supremacy, which was present clearly yesterday, is something that the neo-Nazis in some evil, secretive fashion introduced into the political mainstream. It is something that has always been present in parts of the mainstream." >>

"The March for Australia’s racism can’t just be blamed on far-right ‘extremists’ - it has been enabled by the mainstream." >>

Aby--not fast, just furious

..if only Victoria had laws that could prevent this sort of thing.

Wait.. since 2022?

Thomas Sewell has faced court multiple times in the past 3 years, for physical violence as well as breaking Victorian anti Nazi legislation. He's gotten 150 hours community service for beating a Black security guard. A year later he was sentenced for attacking some hikers with a group of his nazi friends, he got 5 weeks (already served while awaiting trial). They know he was friends with Brenton Tarrant (the Christchurch Mosque shooter) and had invited him to join his nazi groups.

But, you know.. Lads will be Lads.

"Indigenous leaders have called for Sunday's attack on Aboriginal protest site Camp Sovereignty to be investigated as a hate crime."

"Counterterrorism police will help investigate the attack, according to the Victorian government. About 40 men dressed in black, some armed with flagpoles and sticks and led by known Neo-Nazi Thomas Sewell, violently attacked Camp Sovereignty following Sunday's anti-immigration March for Australia rally. "

Bat-wielding gangs and a sense of decline

"Camp Sovereignty organisers said four people were injured in the incident, which they said was unprovoked. The Victorian government has condemned an attack on a First Nations protest camp in Melbourne by far-right demonstrators following an anti-immigration rally.They came armed with poles to attack a group of predominantly women at a peace camp,"

"Schlagertruppen" (bat-wielding gangs)
or "fighting troops". Examples include right-wing Freikorps and later, Sturmabteilung (SA), which engaged in political violence and were instrumental in the rise of Nazism.

“It was like being prosecuted in front of my family—my work family,”Dr. Carr said in an interview. “It was like I was being taken out like the #trash, the only difference is I was being taken out the front door rather than the back door.”

While tens of thousands of employees have lost their jobs in #Trump’s slash-&-burn approach to shrinking the #federal #workforce, experts say the cuts disproportionately affect #Black employees—& Black #women in particular.

Surely, she thought, the office tasked with tracking the achievement of the nation’s students could not fall under Trump’s definition of “divisive & harmful” or “woke.”
But for the first time in her career, Dr. Carr’s data points didn’t add up.
On a Feb afternoon, a security guard showed up to her office just as she was preparing to hold a staff meeting. 15 minutes later, the staff watched in tears & disbelief as she was escorted out of the building.

In Trump’s Federal #WorkForce Cuts, #BlackWomen Are Among the Hardest Hit

#Trump has cut hundreds of thousands of jobs from the #federal work force, disproportionately affecting #Black employees.

When Trump started dismantling #FederalAgencies & dismissing rank-&-file #CivilServants, Peggy Carr, the chief statistician at the #Education Dept, immediately started to make a calculation.

Dr. Peggy Carr, the chief statistician at the Education Department, was dismissed after a 35-year career as part of the Trump administration’s plan to drastically reduce the size of the federal work force.
