  1. "It was a dark Saturday afternoon..."

    A line from my favorite #MLK day speech; the anniversary and the weather today made me think of it. MLK was telling the story of the day he was stabbed and nearly died, while doing a book signing in #NYC:

  2. People are understandably focused on other things right now. But it's a big deal that (at the end of last week) the 10th largest bank in the US confessed that it has been laundering money for organized crime for years, and accepted $3 billion in penalties to protect itself from an even worse punishment.

  3. "As the federal courts repeatedly ruled against the South’s massive resistance, many white people pivoted to a new tactic, one that is lesser known and yet profoundly influences the Black Belt region today: They created a web of hundreds, perhaps thousands, of private schools to educate white children."

    🤔 If it gets abbreviated, hover over it to spoil the surprise. It's how I verify the headlines in news links when the message itself somehow forgets to mention it. For SEO reasons, it'll be in the link.

  9. Stop SUVing.

    This was last night. I think I was the first person to call 911. No one was seriously injured, no ambulance was used.

    The telephone pole was damaged. Workers spent 6-8 hours adding a second pole through the night to shore it up.

  10. @molly0xfff
    Indeed. Like the barest minimum level of medical care
    mastodon.world/@jrefior@hachyd

    Thanks for publishing that and bringing attention to this (long-ignored) issue.

    Worth noting that many incarcerated people are no more guilty of crimes than many not-incarcerated people

  11. Police always release videos of them killing black people on Fridays, because that’s when the fewest people will see them.

    In the PR profession, this is called “throwing it out with the trash.”

  16. @jrefior School vouchers are yet another redistribution of wealth from taxpayers to the rich. Basically it’s another government #handout that will make rich people dependent & shiftless.

  19. @jrefior RBAC is easier for most organisations yet there's quickly the risk of role combinatorial explosion and then it falls short.

    ABAC is interesting when data quality is *really* understood as a key prerequisite and actually correctly measured and enforced.

  20. @venitamathias @jrefior Venita Mathias @venitamathias
    Thank you so much, Venita! That's a really fun article. I learned some things, and I've been a big fan of Mr. McCann since "Compared to What". I burned out a few records of his.

  21. "The many dangers LaFayette faced included an assassination attempt on the same night Medgar Evers was murdered in Mississippi, in what the FBI said was a conspiracy to kill civil rights workers. LaFayette was beaten outside his home before his assailant pointed a gun at him..."

    "LaFayette grew up in Tampa, Florida, where he recalled trying to board a trolley with his grandmother when he was 7 years old. Black passengers had to pay at the front, then walk to the back to climb on. But the conductor began to pull away before they could board, and his grandmother fell. He was too little to help.

    "He was beaten in Montgomery, Alabama, and arrested in Jackson, Mississippi, becoming one of more than 300 Freedom Riders sent to Parchman Prison...

    "Several of King’s marches were attacked by white mobs..."
