"We're dealing with a media infrastructure that is overwhelmingly white. 75% of news orgs have no minority represention at all among top editors. People of color are systematically excluded from positions of power." -- @alwaystheself on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/crystal-…
"But I want to be clear: adding an editor who's not white does not mean you automatically have anti-racist journalism. Look at the NYT's horrific coverage of Mike Brown during Ferguson. It's important to recognize complicity of people of color." patreon.com/posts/crystal-…
"There are journalists of color or white anti-racists who are doing good work in these outlets. Unfortunately their pieces get used to obscure the complicity of these mainstream news outlets in white supremacy." patreon.com/posts/crystal-…

"Trump lies pathologically but is viewed as authentic by his supporters. He breaches the culture of racial duplicity that became institutionalized in the wake of the Civil Rights movement." --@alwaystheself on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/crystal-…
"One thing that happened after the Civil Rights era is that whites were taught, for the first time in US history, that being racist was a bad thing. The moral stigmatization of the word 'racist' is a recent phenomenon." patreon.com/posts/crystal-…
"For most of US history, being what we now call 'racist' was the law of the land and proudly so...Now white folks have been socialized to talk a certain way about race in public and normalize racist discourse in private." -- @alwaystheself on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/crystal-…

A bloody 'gringo' backlash to Aztlan renewamerica.com/c/20793
what we have seen is a bloodthirsty backlash to a well-established political movement that seeks to diminish the influence of white voters and replace their role in American society with that of brown people and other designated minorities.
This political movement favors free health care, free college, and public housing for illegals, in order to entice them to enter the U.S.

The obsession with 'white supremacy' violence is based on cooked studies washex.am/2yCPVAZ
The New York Times editorial board on Sunday evening declared that the United States has “a White Nationalist Terrorist Problem.” The piece linked to an ABC News story from early July on the “growing threat of violent white supremacist extremists.”
Back in June, CNN’s Jake Tapper wondered on air whether a shooting by a white guy that resulted in no deaths or injuries “represents a growing threat in the U.S. of extremist right-wing violence.”

This Day in Labor History: July 2, 1822. South Carolina executes Denmark Vesey for his role in a purported slave rebellion. Let's talk about how slavery is central to American labor history and the use of violence by which threats to that work system were crushed.
First, slavery and similar forms of forced labor were the preferred methods of work relationship in American colonies from New York to Argentina. New England's slightly different history--though the big regional fortunes were made on the slave trade--has distorted reality.
Second, any "Class not Race" analysis is white supremacist. As the history of slavery demonstrates, the U.S. and other nations developed racialized forms of labor to free whites from work. That was a huge point of colonization, probably the biggest.

Sarah Kendzior: I warned everyone this is what would happen with Barr & the Mueller Report. The memo he wrote condemning the Mueller Report--before the report was released--was essentially his audition for Atty Gen'l.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation #GasLitNation
Sarah Kendzior: All Mueller did was enable Flynn and others who are extremely dangerous get off scot free.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation #GasLitNation
Sarah Kendzior: A lot of people staked their hopes on Mueller; I was not one of them. Trump has been linked to crime, crime families, obstructing justice, for a very long time.

Hey! My new podcast is finally here. Our first episode features my interview with @livkittykat from @PortlandDSA. If you liked the old podcast you’ll love this one. progressivestackpod.com/episodes/2019/…
If you are sick of only talking about national politics and want to hear from brilliant people in local communities and who are putting in the groundwork then you’re going to really enjoy this.
You’re going to hear from all the change-makers who’s names you see and who get interviews with boring journalists but in a fun scenario, not a caged environment where the interviewer doesn’t even listen to the answers to their questions.

Sarah Kendzior: I think with all Republicans you need to look at what policies they've passed & what their rhetoric is. They say someone should do something about Russian interference (them!) but nothing's getting done.
@sarahkendzior #GasLitNation
Sarah Kendzior: Russia wants the US to be pulled out of NATO. They want NATO to be weakened, they want the US to be weakened, they don't want oligarchs to be investigated for anything.
@sarahkendzior #GasLitNation
Sarah Kendzior: Why would the Russians help Dems win elections? The Russians wouldn't get what they want then. Saying the Russians are helping Dems is absolute crap.
