It's hitting me how the slow arc of justice my elders fought and died to set in motion has been halted by the Calais decision. This morning, I was on a call with another (highly accomplished) middle-aged Black women and this is how we processed it together: We are realizing that we (including our younger elder millennial sisters) are likely to be the LAST generation of Black women who will achieve so much. This decision is not just a gutting of the VRA but the highest court's massive rejection of the idea that this country is, indeed, a land of opportunity for everyone. The court is now an overt and explicitly complicit engine of white nationalism. THAT is how much anti-Blackness has been simmering underneath this facade of 'American democracy.' So now, Black folks, we need to decide. Retreat, close ranks to protect our own, and/or fight for a renewed Reconstruction on top of the smoldering ruins of this gotdamn system? #BlackMastodon #BlackFedi #SCOTUS #CivilRights #BlackHistoryEveryDay

via #ShaunSouthworth on #LinkedIn for #LawFedi #CivilRights https://www.linkedin.com/posts/shaunsouthworth_i-practice-law-in-the-south-so-let-me-say-share-7455443189924286464-p0dC I practice law in the South. So let me say something about today’s Supreme Court decision in Louisiana v. Callais. This ruling is not calling balls and strikes. It overrules congressional intent and decades of bipartisan support for policing Southern states that have been abusing Black communities for as long as many of my clients can remember. (1/8)

@RnDanger@infosec.exchange @Xavier@infosec.exchange @quinn@social.circl.lu not only that, but obviously #moderation costs money and "blaming the #consumer" works well as #Propaganda. See "#CarbonFoodprint" beibg pushed by the #OilIndustry to guilt-trip people and thus deflect their responsibilities…Same with #AntiPrivacy, and the constant #CorrosionStrategy against #HumanRights & #CivilRights…

@hsza@social.tudbut.de I certainly would if the opposite site would dial down the #Enshittification and revert back to a useable state! Or do you also kindly ask a burglar to leave?No, you call the cops / drectly overwhelm them and force them to the ground face down to be dragged out by the cops. If I won't stand my ground, noone else will stand up for me (or the #TechIlliterates) either. #HumanRights & #CivilRights are not to be asked for but enforced!Sounds harsh, but that's my life experience…
