The Supreme Court is considering a case challenging Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act — and it’s expected to overturn it, a change that legal historians say would make it easier to dilute Black voting power and roll back decades of political gains.

Report: The Israelis "blindfolded me.. interrogated me in the 1st tent, asking why I wanted to enter Gaza.. tried to pressure me psychologically.. wanted to separate me from my children & force me into exile."
In a 2nd tent, they "asked political questions.. told me I could be detained if I didn’t answer. After three hours of interrogation under threat, we finally went on the bus".

We recognize how their struggle inspired and laid the groundwork for movements advancing the rights of women, #immigrants, and all marginalized communities.
📚During these challenging times of banning #books and whitewashing history, we need educate ourselves and reflect on the truth that our destinies are connected, and progress for one #community strengthens us all.

I have a suggestion for the Join Mastodon Servers page. Let's remove all the topics and instances, and have nothing but #BIPOC and non-dominant culture topics and instances, for say 5 years as #Reparations for the harm caused.

Check out the topics on Join Mastodon.
Imagine this - I'm talking about #Native #Indigenous #BIPOC People. In #Mastodon world, all Black People, all Indigenous People, all People of Color - THE GLOBAL MAJORITY of human beings on the planet are less important than Sports and one sports instance. Just keep going through the topics, don't make me compare any others...
Shame on you Mastodon.

Report: A Minnesotan man was treated for a shattered skull after an encounter with ICE agents.
The agents said he had “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall” while trying to escape their custody.
But nurses who treated him said, "There was no way this person ran headfirst into a wall, [given] the sheer number of skull fractures... & internal bleeding".

I highly recommend this article about the massive U-turn that Canadian immigration policy has taken over the past few years. I've always taken Canada's self-mythologizing about how welcoming the country is towards newcomers with a HUGE grain of salt, but this essay encapsulates just how heartless our immigration system currently is.
"Welcome to Canada! Please help prop up our massively underfunded post-secondary education system and then get blamed for how similarly underfunded healthcare and infrastructure is. Oh, those pathways to permanent resident status? We changed our minds! Sorry, eh!"
It's not mentioned in this article, but isn't it beyond time that we revisit our "safe" third country agreement with the U.S.?

Report: Israel has the second worst rate of child poverty among OECD countries.
30+ Israeli laws passed since Oct 2023 have deepened the system of apartheid & repression against Israel's 2 million Palestinian citizens...
...the descendants of the indigenous population violently displaced in 1948 during Israel's creation.

If there is no Native/Indigenous #Mastodon category, and there are no Native/Indigenous instances listed at Join Mastodon, how can Native/Indigenous People signing up for the first time or even later choose a Native/Indigenous instance? As well as other non-white cultures, really WTF!

Like all people and organizations when face to face with their own racism, this thought is likely to ruffle feathers, but nonetheless 100% true.
Mastodon gGmbH has a problem with systemic racism at the organizational level.
It's time to make Mastodon friendly to non-white cultures and we need to start at the top.

Thomas Zimmer: "Extremists like Stephen Miller simply cannot fathom that there is an authentic resistance fueled by a sincere rejection of the MAGA project. The idea that white people would act in solidarity with their non-white neighbors is beyond what the Trumpists can imagine."
