@depthsofwikipedia.bsky.social thought you might enjoy this section from the "Anti-Irish sentiment" article in which an 8th grader is cited as thoroughly rebutting a claim that the Irish never experienced widespread job discrimination in the US
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Ir...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Ir...
![From Wikipedia's article on Anti-Irish sentiment:
"Historians have debated about the issue of anti-Irish job
discrimination in the United States. Some of them believe that the "No Irish need apply" (or "NINA") signs were common, but others, such as Richard J. Jensen, believe that anti-Irish job discrimination was not a significant factor in the United States, and they also believe that these signs and print advertisements were posted by the limited number of early 19th-century English immigrants to the United States who believed in the same prejudices that the people of their former homeland believed in. In July 2015 the same journal that published Jensen's 2002 paper published a rebuttal by Rebecca A. Fried, an 8th-grade student at Sidwell Friends School. She listed multiple instances of the restriction used in advertisements for many different types of positions, including "clerks at stores and hotels, bartenders, farm workers, house painters, hog butchers, coachmen, bookkeepers, blackers [tannery workers who blackened leather], workers at lumber yards, upholsterers, bakers, gilders, tailors, and papier mache workers, among others." While the greatest number of NINA instances occurred in the 1840s, Fried found instances for its continued use throughout the subsequent century, with the most recent dating to 1909 in Butte, Montana."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:orzbakk25aba2fxlgiwa3uxe/bafkreifzocjimi54ltnibudmf7anycknv2gg5ewj66ezjes6s35rczcr2m@jpeg)

to be very clear: socialism is the only way humanity makes it another 500 years. capitalism will careen us off the cliff of climate change, and not even the robber barons will survive.
The House of Representatives voted 285–98 in favor of a resolution condemning socialism.
86 Dems joined Republicans in supporting the measure, incl. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

knowing the limits of your own understanding is important, but just as important is having the moral certitude to not second guess yourself when it comes time to do the right thing

my wokest opinion is that you should "check your privilege" but like, check it up and down. as in, check who you have privilege over, but also check who has privilege over you.
then, check who benefits most in your personal privilege structure - is it you, or is it the person above you?

maybe a hot take:
If a show or movie is well written and well acted, but "bad" special effects take you out, then you have a baby brain incapable of imagination
it's make believe. your brain is supposed to be doing some of the work.

i could almost imagine selling your soul for power if it was like, "oh, you have to sell your soul to Satan, and then you can shoot fire from your hands!"
but no, these guys are saying shit like "I'm a Grok guy" in public just so they can grift a little more money. it's humiliating.

ICE officers reportedly shot a 25-year-old named Carlos Jimenez.
He was shot after getting out of his car to tell the agents, who had pulled over a vehicle, that children would soon be gathering in that spot for the school bus.
