for a completely mind blowing connection between #woodyGuthrie and modern day nonsense:
woody was a tenant of donald #trump's dad
and had such a bad time with fred trump's #racism, he wrote a song about him:
"old man trump"
Beach Haven is Trump's Tower
Where no Black folks come to roam
No, no, Old Man Trump!
Old Beach Haven ain't my home!in *1954*
talk about prescience

"Federal discrimination lawsuit filed over whites-only housing development in Arkansas...
Return to the Land’s settlement near Ravenden is only open to whites, Christians and heterosexuals...""Missouri resident Michelle Walker’s complaint...states that Return to the Land’s rejection of her application to buy land violated the Fair Housing Act and Civil Rights Act on the federal and state levels..."
"...Walker’s November 2025 application to buy land from Return to the Land included questions about her and her family’s religion and ancestry, which surprised her because they were “clearly violating federal and state fair housing laws prohibiting consideration of race and religion in a land-sale decision,” the complaint states..."
"...Walker is a white Christian woman who has Jewish ancestry, a Black husband and biracial children, according to the complaint. The Return to the Land online application portal deemed Walker’s family “not an ideal fit” for the organization."
"...Applicants are required to submit photos or a video “to confirm that they appear white” and are encouraged to submit DNA test results to back up their claims of their ancestry, the complaint states...."

University of New Mexico: UNM researcher uses social media to map public perceptions of redlining across the U.S. . “A new study from The University of New Mexico offers a nationwide look at how Americans discuss one of the most enduring forms of housing discrimination — redlining — using more than a decade of social media data.”

I have a conspiracy theory I believe in that I have no solid evidence for.
People talk about China and their Social Credit System where they watch you all the time?
We have that already in the US but no one talks about it.
There is a digital caste system that is being applied, even here in the US.
It is digital "redlining" segregating certain people into poverty and certain people into the "management classes" all to support the Oligarchy.

Neighborhoods with trees are healthier, cooler, and safer. Black & Brown neighborhoods are more likely to lack tress. That is systemic racism. The harm of redlining isn't only historical, it continues to this day.
-
One of the many harmful legacies of redlining is inequity in neighborhood tree coverage:
“Tree equity: Who gets trees in their neighborhood?
Why are some neighborhoods so much greener than others? ... It turns out that neighborhoods that were historically redlined in the ‘30s and ‘40s live today with only half the tree cover of their "greenlined" neighborhood counterparts.”

“One of the things that’s really interesting in that regard is bus stops. In these kinds of areas, people tend to take more public transportation,” Lookingbill said. “We found that a lot of those bus stops are areas that are uncovered and don’t have a lot of tree cover or artificial bus stop cover.” https://virginiamercury.com/briefs/study-shows-historically-redlined-virginia-neighborhoods-are-hotter-in-the-summer/ #climate #transit #equity #redlining #canopy #PublicHealth

Oops, We Did #Redlining Again
A recent academic paper published last month found that the variables rewarded by #WalkScore disproportionally led to the #Chicago census tracts with the highest share of white residents being ranked the highest. However, the #realestate metric doesn't account for vehicle-pedestrian crash rates or how many residents walk rather than drive.

…The case began in 2020 when the #CFPB accused Townstone of #redlining & breaking fair-lending laws by discouraging residents living in majority-#Black neighborhoods from applying for its #housing #loans. It homed in on comments made during the company’s radio show & podcast, “The Townstone Financial Show,” saying they were intended to rebuff Black borrowers or those seeking to buy homes in certain neighborhoods.

It seems like vouchers would be even more effective at segregating #schools than the hangover of #redlining we have, if bringing back segregation is your thing.

I-75, I-85 & I-20 are racist and a continuation of colonialism.
Redlining was the geofencing.

"Critically, the proposed legislation includes provisions aimed at protecting communities from #bluelining — the emerging practice of financial institutions “increas[ing] prices or withdrawing services from regions they perceive to be at high environmental risk.” Bluelining overlaps with the same racist patterns of disinvestment established by #redlining, the “systemic practice of excluding communities of color from economic opportunities based on their race.”

I like this Red Flag series by painter and sculptor Mark Travers. Sorry I don’t have a source that doesn’t require logging in. This series is so new he hasn’t added it to his website yet.
