I’m deeply enraged by the lack of native language support for Haitian Creole on iOS and Android. On iOS, though it does the right thing and provides Haitian Creole as a top level language (ht), it’s basically a localization of French, not transliterated Haitian Creole. On Android, even though Haitian Creole is an ISO language code, it’s not even an option. You can only select French, then a localization for Haiti. How can I select Esperanto but not Haitian Creole? #languageaccess #racism

"DOJ ends a key racial discrimination case, signaling an end to the Civil Rights Division as it existed.

The lawsuit against the Mississippi state Senate alleged a brazen pattern of racial discrimination against a Black woman, but AAG Harmeet Dhillon ended the case."

The Black Consumer Advisory: Leveraging Our Dollars For Change

"In the wake of nationwide protests against systemic #racism in 2020, many corporations and institutions publicly committed to being more diverse, equitable, and inclusive. Five years later and some are starting to backtrack without ever meeting promises made. As businesses reverse their commitments, it is time to hold them accountable."

[P] I kind of need to talk about why Donkey Kong Bananza is giving me raciat vibes. I don't think most people understand what racism is, or even care, they just say what they think they're supposed to. There's no introspection or reflections there. It's just lip-service with the unspoken vibe of "Gotta keep 5he vassals/chattel happy." There's no sincere care there though, and that's why no one's going to talk about this but black people. So, remember Proud Family?

“Vance ‘I love Europe. I love European people. I’ve said repeatedly that I think that you can’t separate American culture from European culture. We’re very much a product of philosophies, theologies, and of course the migration patterns that came out of Europe that launched the United States of America.’” So let’s just forget about the native Americans and African Americans and Asian Americans and …. #Vance #Racism #MAGA

White supremacists in the US would rather burn it all down than live in a country where everyone is treated equally & fairly.

"China is over there looking like the future that we will never have because America hates anything that isn't a straight white Christian male.

This country thrives on hatred of people. If you don't take nothing else from this tariff war between China & the US understand that Americans will put hatred over progress every time." ladikreyol on TikTok

Today in Labor History April 14, 1917: IWW sailors went on strike in Philadelphia and won a ten dollar per month raise. Ben Fletcher, an African-American IWW organizer, was instrumental in organizing the Philadelphia waterfront. Fletcher was born in Philly in 1890. He joined the Wobblies (IWW) in 1912, became secretary of the IWW District Council in 1913. He also co-founded the interracial Local 8 in 1913.

In 1913, Fletcher led 10,000 IWW Philly dockworkers on a strike. Within two weeks, they won a 10-hr day, overtime pay, & created one of the most successful antiracist, anticapitalist union locals in the U.S. At the time, roughly one-third of the dockers on the Philadelphia waterfront were black. Another 33% were Irish. And about 33% were Polish and Lithuanian. Prior to the IWW organizing drive, the employers routinely pitted black workers against white, and Polish against Irish. The IWW was one of the only unions of the era that organized workers into the same locals, regardless of race or ethnicity. And its main leader in Philadelphia was an African American, Ben Fletcher.

By 1916, thanks in large part to Fletcher’s organizing skill, all but two of Philadelphia’s docks were controlled by the IWW. And the union maintained control of the Philly waterfront for about a decade. At that time, roughly 10% of the IWW’s 1 million members were African American. Most had been rejected from other unions because of their skin color.

Fletcher also traveled up and down the east coast organizing dockers. However, he was nearly lynched in Norfolk, Virginia in 1917. And in 1918, the state arrested him, sentencing him to ten years for the crime of organizing workers during wartime. He served three years.

Nice local elections result in #Finland indeed!

And my candidate got through, for the first time! Yeehaa. Congrats, Paco Diop!

Relating: when checking the results, I noticed that my party Vasemmistoliitto (”The #Left Union") has the highest amount of immigrants in the new city council group. Both percentage-wise and in absolute numbers: three. This either a) is great news or b) tells something about latent #racism in #Finland.

I ’ll pick a) for now.
