Shakedown #Politics, Sabotage, Self-Enrichment: How to Talk About #Trump & Musk's Authoritarian Activities
lucid.substack.com/p/shakedown

" #Trump & #Musk are not merely creating another #autocracy along the lines of #Hungary or #Turkey, with inspiration from South African #apartheid and the #JimCrow South. They are innovating the #authoritarian playbook with their power-sharing agreement and their chainsaw & wrecking-ball tactics."

Today in Labor History March 21, 1965: 3,200 people began the third march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, to protest racial violence. Earlier efforts to hold the march had failed when police attacked demonstrators and a minister was fatally beaten by a group of Selma whites. The five-day walk ended March 26, when 20,000 people joined the marchers in front of the Alabama state Capitol in Montgomery. This time they were defended by national guards and FBI agents. Soon after, Congress passed the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

The third Selma Civil Rights March frontline. From far left: John Lewis, an unidentified nun; Ralph Abernathy; Martin Luther King Jr.; Ralph Bunche; Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel; Frederick Douglas Reese. Second row: Between Martin Luther King Jr. and Ralph Bunche is Rabbi Maurice Davis. Heschel later wrote, "When I marched in Selma, my feet were praying." Joseph Ellwanger is standing in the second row behind the nun.

European fascism was and has always been a response to the siren call of USA plantation #slaveocracy, #ManifestDestiny and post-Civil War #JimCrow. if capitalists have to pick between enriching themselves thru slavery or the labor of free citizens, they will go with slavery.

Karl Marx told us as much back in 1861:
libcom.org/library/american-ci

do you get why #BlackLivesMatter is the most #antifa shit you can say in USA?

#MAGA is the negrofication of the white middle classes.

deal with it.

text from Karl Marx - The American Civil War, as found at libcom.org: In the Northern states, where Negro slavery is in practice unworkable, the white working class would gradually be forced down to the level of helotry. This would fully accord with the loudly proclaimed principle that only certain races are capable of freedom, and as the actual labour is the lot of the Negro in the South, so in the North it is the lot of the German and the Irishman, or their direct descendants. The present struggle between the South and North is, therefore, nothing but a struggle between two social systems, the system of slavery and the system of free labour. The struggle has broken out because the two systems can no longer live peacefully side by side on the North American continent. It can only be ended by the victory of one system or the other. If the border states, the disputed areas in which the two systems have hitherto contended for domination, are a thorn in the flesh of the South, there can, on the other hand, be no mistake that, in the course of the war up to now, they have constituted the chief weakness of the North.

USPol; The US is reviving Jim Crow

This is probably not news to anyone who follows me, but if you want to be able to quote an expert on it, or have a handy link ready to throw at someone, here you go: salon.com/2025/02/19/reverses-

So if someone talks about "anti-DEI" efforts or a "DEI rollback" initiative or whatever, you can say, right to their face, "You mean our Jim Crow initiative?" And then send them this article.

Today, in honor of Black History Month, we remember the first of the Nashville sit-ins, which occurred at three lunch counters in Nashville, Tennessee on this date, February 13, 1960. The protests were organized by black college students and lasted through May and were intended to end segregation at lunch counters. They were coordinated by the Nashville Student Movement and the Nashville Christian Leadership Council, and were part of the broader sit-in movement that spread across the southern United States in the wake of the Greensboro sit-ins in North Carolina.

The students were represented by a group of 13 lawyers, headed by Z. Alexander Looby. Racists bombed Looby's home on April 19. He, and his family, escaped uninjured. Later that day, over 3,000 people marched to City Hall to confront the mayor about the escalating violence. After subsequent negotiations, an agreement was reached in May, and six downtown stores began serving black customers at their lunch counters for the first time.

Rodney Powell (standing) talks with other sit-in participants at Walgreens drugstore in Nashville, Tennessee, with sign just beside him that says, “Fountain closed in the interest of public safety.” The Nashville's sit-in campaign targeted downtown lunch counters such as this one at Walgreens drugstore.
