You played yourself, and now this fool is in charge of ALL of our health.

Since diseases disproportionately kill the youngest and the oldest, it might help to remember that the blood on the hands of everyone who got us here isn't your normal blood, it's the blood of children and elders.

Einstein:

"He grew uncomfortable with the American way of pressuring newcomers to look down on the lowest caste in order to gain acceptance. Here was one of the most brilliant men who ever lived refusing to see himself as superior to people he was being told were beneath him."

"The more I feel an American, the more this situation pains me. I can escape the feelings of complicity in it only by speaking out."

"The month after Einstein left [Germany], Hitler was appointed chancellor. In America, Einstein was astonished to discover that he had landed in yet another caste system, one with a different scapegoat caste and different methods, but with embedded hatreds that were not so unlike the one he had just fled.

'The worst disease is the treatment of the Negro,' he wrote in 1946. 'Everyone who freshly learns of this state of affairs at a maturer age feels not only injustice, but the scorn of the principle of the Fathers who founded the United States that 'all men are created equal.'"

"The separation of the races is not a disease of the colored people ... but a disease of the white people. I do not intend to be quiet about it."

"As a window into the random nature of [racial] categories, use of the term 'Caucasian' to label people descended from Europe is a relatively new and arbitrary practice in human history. The word was not passed down from the ancients but rather sprang from the mind of a German professor of medicine, Johann Friedrich Blumenbach, in 1795.

Blumenbach spent decades studying and measuring human skulls -- the foreheads, the jawbones, the eye sockets -- in an attempt to classify the varieties of humankind.

He coined the term Caucasian on the basis of a favorite skull of his that had come into his possession from the Caucasus Mountains of Russia. To him, the skull was the most beautiful of all that he owned. So he gave the group to which he belonged, the Europeans, the same name as the region that had produced it. That is how people now identified as white got the scientific-sounding yet random name Caucasian."

If ICE Shows Up at Your Door, Know Your Rights!

Do NOT open the door. ICE does not have the right to enter your home without a valid warrant signed by a judge.

Remain calm. Don’t run and most importantly do not lie about your name, age, immigration status, etc. Anything you say or do can be used against you.

Do not sign anything. Ask to have documents translated. If you do not speak English ask for an interpreter. Have an attorney look over any documents that ICE gives you.

Make a family plan. If you have children, identify a caretaker.

Record. If you witness someone being detained by ICE, you have the right to record as long as you do not interfere with the arrest. Pictures, videos, and any information you can gather, can help verify an immigration raid and also help someone’s immigration case.

“Again we have deluded ourselves into believing the myth that Capitalism grew and prospered out of the Protestant ethic of hard work and sacrifice. The fact is that capitalism was built on the exploitation and suffering of black slaves and continues to thrive on the exploitation of the poor – both black and white, both here and abroad.”

—  MLK, “The three evils of society,” 1967

[profeminist]

“Why is equality so assiduously avoided? Why does white America delude itself, and how does it rationalize the evil it retains? The majority of white Americans consider themselves sincerely committed to justice for the Negro. They believe that American society is essentially hospitable to fair play and to steady growth toward a middle-class Utopia embodying racial harmony. But unfortunately this is a fantasy of self-deception and comfortable vanity.”

- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. - “Where do we go from here,” 1967

"We seem to have a great nostalgia for the good old days -- "when men were men" -- or so we think. I think we have greatly romanticized this picture. It was so much easier for a man to look masculine when women were subservient. A man didn't have to be a real man at all, and he could fool everybody, including himself .... He played a role, and no one ever really knew or thought about what he was or felt beneath the surface of that role."
