Beach Cities IMC
I was in a South Bay group and got a message about a cop there who painted swastikas on cars, and it reminded me of “Beach Cities IMC”. This was a fake Indymedia site that posted a lot of right wing crap. (For that matter, the current IMC is being spammed by crap posts… so…

Henry George’s Racist Screed Against Chinese People in California, New York Tribune, May 1, 1869
I was forwarded a paper that was published in a journal. I wondered what the journal was about, and found that they were looking to preserve the intellectual lineage of Henry George, a late 19th century philosopher and early Progressive reformer of capitalism.

On High Rates of Infection in the Latino Communities
The management of this pandemic is racist as hell. I looked back over my emails and some posts, and I was going off on the issue of essential workers and crowded housing back in April of 2020. This barely ever came up in the media as an important factor in the spread of COVID-19, until…
