“Two U.S. citizen teenagers who were on their way to file enlistment papers to join the Marines were violently attacked by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, who reportedly detained them for nearly eight hours before letting them go.” https://newrepublic.com/post/215393/ice-attacks-us-citizen-minors-enlist-marines

Today in Labor History August 4, 1942: U.S. and Mexico began the Bracero Program to provide cheap Mexican labor to replace U.S. workers who were being sent to fight in World War II, and to replace the 500,000 Mexican workers who were deported during the Great Depression in order to mollify xenophobic demands for “white jobs.” The Bracero program also gave farm-owners an alternative to hiring Anglo farm workers who hadn’t been drafted, many of whom were affiliated with the radical IWW. The Bracero program promised decent and sanitary housing and a minimum wage, but these were generally ignored by employers. Additionally, the workers were often subjected to racist attacks. The abuses contributed to the development of the Chicano Movement, the United Farm Workers and other forms of activism.

"Musk’s virulent racism and vicious, disturbing views are no secret. He does not hide them. They sit in plain view, easily accessible on the social media website he owns, where he does everything he can to promote similarly far-right and white supremacist ideas.
If there is a question to ask, then, it is this: Why does Musk get a pass? Why do politicians, journalists and commentators treat his far-right racist radicalism as a sideshow rather than the core of his political, ideological and industrial project, seen in everything from his deep support for Donald Trump in the United States and Restore Britain in Britain to his decision to construct a massive pollution-generating data center in predominantly Black Memphis?
Musk spends a large part of his free time fomenting violence and spreading the same hateful ideology that motivated some of the deadliest shootings and attacks ever to happen on American soil. It is that fact, and not the cars he builds or the rockets he launches, that ought to define his place in public life."

"... growers survive a price-cost squeeze that formal wages could not have survived. It let the government avoid choosing between food-price inflation and rural unemployment. It let consumers eat cheaply. The cost of making all of that work was carried by people with no vote, no recourse, and now, it turns out, no protection. When a political movement decided to make them the target, they absorbed that cost too, by fleeing.”

"Last month, a study by the British Muslim Trust and British Future found that one in six Britons believe the growth of the Muslim population “poses a foundational threat to UK culture”, raising alarm that hostile attitudes towards Muslims are being normalised.
A Home Office spokesperson said: “Muslims in the UK face appalling levels of religious hate crime. It’s crucial that they not only are safe but feel safe."

Imagine living in a country where for 30 years you watch the people at the top; politicians, business elite, police and judiciary loot and steal using government contracts and procedural bias, all while the poor keep getting poorer and imagine being so stupid that instead of turning to your rage against those people you instead look at a poor migrants and blame them for everything that is falling apart around you. Yesterday alone cost R600 mil.

Jacob Zuma and his family, the Trumps of South Africa, continue their disgraceful history of corruption, grift and scapegoating, manipulating desperate, ignorant and stupid people. Deeply shameful day.

Heads up re Mullvad - one of the founders donated 5M Swedish kronor to a right wing anti-immigrant candidate in Sweden.

So... who's surprised? Racism, misogyny, xenophobia, islamophobia in the Met (London Metropolitan Police).
It's still upsetting and depressing though.
And the sad thing is there are lots of decent police officers and they end up getting tarred with the same brush.

"My initial reaction was to despair yet again at the bigotry of RT and to deplore his use of racism for political ends. On reflection, though, I found the fact that this horrible attempt to stigmatise minorities had already become official Tory policy deeply disturbing."
