@smartbrowngirl.bsky.socialDehumanization usually starts before the worst policies arrive. First, a group is labeled dirty, dangerous, or less deserving. Then cruelty becomes easier to justify. This week’s Smart Brown Girl Briefing connects Caste, immigration, 9/11, and state power. #caste #waronterror #blackhistory

The most cynical appeals for support for that debacle came from “feminists” who tried to tug our heartstrings with horror stories about burqas, underground nail salons, and no HBO.

The dedication of the George W. Bush Presidential Library gave the US media a chance to engage in one of its current favorite pastimes...

Some of the most breathtaking spewage that day had to have come from that inimitable mass murderer and concentration camp operator, our very own Barack “Dronemeister” Obama...

The #GOP may not have had any real plan, but at least they had the good sense to put up big signs all over “Plan For Victory” whenever President Chimp gave a speech.

The sickening carnage of the US bombing of Iraq in the first six weeks of the war had given us a whole new meaning to the slogan “No Child Left Behind”.

It was about this time that Lisa Beamer, wife of a 9/11 victim, went on a victimhood-pimping tour plugging her book and her attempt to register a trade/service mark on the phrase “Let’s Roll”.

Didn’t Bin Laden’s targeting of the WTC classify as targeting a “military asset” under the Pentagon’s own rules? Was he really doing anything different from the US in Iraq...?

Never forget how you, the American people, rolled over and allowed yourselves to be bullied and cowed into silence by the likes of Bush, Cheney, Obama, Ridge, Chertoff, Napolitano, Clinton, and Lieberman
@fabvdm.bsky.socialIt's 25 years after 9/11. Bin Laden is dead. Al-Baghdadi is dead. The War on Terror raised legal, political, and moral questions. But did it defeat jihadist terrorism? I dug into the data and spoke with experts from around the world to find out. #WarOnTerror, #911Anniversary
