The out-migration of non-enslaving whites from the South before the Civil War seems overlooked at times. In 1860 nearly 345,000 emigres left #Tennessee for the North and the West. #history

micchiato (micchiato@mastodon.social)'s status on Sunday, 07-Jul-2024 11:59:08 JST micchiato For all those horror stories about what happened in 1968 after incumbent LBJ dropped out of the race, this is a scarier prospect. And #Democrats choose to have no other options but stay the course to hell.

Their sway was absolute in the Legislatures. They systematically saw to it that the poor white population [numbered in the millions] should receive no public school #education and deliberately kept it in the densest ignorance. They acted indeed, as if these poor whites were not in existence at all.”
— Herman Schlüter (1913)

“Remembering #PhilandoCastile, who was unjustly taken from us 8 years ago today. I witnessed the impact of your death in St. Paul, Minnesota and beyond. Your life mattered, and you should be here.”

micchiato (micchiato@mastodon.social)'s status on Friday, 05-Jul-2024 01:24:46 JST micchiato I cannot think of a more apt symbol for the inconstancy of US progressive leaders than POTUS Ulysses S. Grant who in 1871 used the military to stop Ku Klux Klan violence only to reverse course 2 years later and pardon all of the KKK members he convicted. As if that wasn’t dismaying enough, he relocated the military west to kill Indigenes because liberals and radicals in his party were divided over Reconstruction and he believed he needed conservatives both south and west. #US #history

Too soon for her parents to even name her. Her tiny body is now wrapped in a green shroud.
Another struggles for each breath, the bones of her exposed rib cage heave up and down with the little strength she has to keep living. Their nappies dwarf their skeletal bodies.”

micchiato (micchiato@mastodon.social)'s status on Thursday, 04-Jul-2024 00:13:11 JST micchiato This explains why #Biden is willing to sacrifice his presidency to stand by #genocide and slaughtering little brown children. It’s not just AIPAC pulling strings. It’s also further grim evidence of dementia.

micchiato (micchiato@mastodon.social)'s status on Wednesday, 03-Jul-2024 12:07:55 JST micchiato Moderate #Democrats will burn through campaign seasons scolding voters about the dangers of #GOP reactionaries and then turn around and hop into bed with fascism. This is how dictators happen despite the efforts of common individuals to vote against fascism. Moderates allowed Hitler. Moderates allow #Trump. Bipartisan #uspolitics is inherently fascist:
