Gertrude Bell, more familiar with the region than most in the foreign office, was also horrified by the suppression of Arab control over their lands:

Yes, I do hope that the Democratic establishment doesn't welcome the "millions of working-class American men" who think rape victims deserve it and support genocide and imperialist wars. Those people are called Republicans (and worse).

I was on Vieques when they were shutting down the bombing range in 2003. The contrast between the natural beauty of the island and the toxic legacy of our imperialism is striking.

Not to belabor the Platner discourse any further, but anyone who said, at any age, that they would have loved to commit genocide and squash peasant revolts is an absolute piece of shit.

Resistance to oppression isn't cringe. But one of these people is an ally and one isn't and you should know the difference.

Israel's destruction of Gaza's agricultural sector has been a consistent goal of its occupations and blockades since 1956.

Fascinating article.

![In an interview, Eileen Boris, a University of California-Santa Barbara professor of labor, race, and gender studies, described long-term U.S. efforts to exclude domestic workers from labor laws as “an afterlife of slavery.” Black men and women who performed agricultural or domestic work during and after slavery were “bargained out” of New Deal laws to appease racist Southern Democrats, like Representative James Wilcox, a Floridian who declared in 1937: “You cannot put the [Black man] and the white man on the same basis and get away with it.” Both domestic and agricultural workers were excluded from the 1938 Fair Labor Standards Act, which guarantees the minimum wage and overtime pay for hours worked above 40 hours, and the 1935 National Labor Relations Act, which protects workers’ rights to organize, form a union, and collectively bargain with employers.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:thcz5zwlgps2dpvag3fbp7mi/bafkreig6oofuaqrkmmux4qiy6j4yif75w4hdqnr3vpkcgeebzbmghfgqyi@jpeg)
