#enslavement

Gaslit Nation has an episode today that references the book Slave Nation: How Slavery United the Colonies & Sparked the American Revolution by Alfred and Ruth Blumrosen.

I started the episode but didn't get far when I realized the focus was "the US could have been Canada." I'd highly recommend reading Slave Nation, though. It's an important book IMO that's underread and underknown.

The Shocking Truth Behind #Scam Messages!

youtube.com/watch?v=h3YYHsKpj9

#AmnestyInternational has identified more than 50 #scamming compounds, locations where #humantrafficking victims and #migrantworkers are subjected to #enslavement, #forcedlabour, #torture and #deprivation of liberty across the country. It is highly likely that more compounds exist than those in this report.

@RikerGoogling

Convincingly argue that existance of /Holodeck of innocents amounts to a massive human rights violation, is counterproductive in every imagineable way, a disgrace for humanity and was by the of the old testament in dozens of dreams of one of the enlaved mystics, whose skills are by the use of brute force and spiritual vampirism by the personified moral scum of mankind.

Self shutdown of shitshow only viable option.

For #BlackHistoryMonth, #TechHub has changed our Info-Page Banner to include #ElijahMcCoy.

This isn't an amazing image, just something I threw together for @nicdex to put up, because I felt that putting up Elijah #McCoy's picture reflects who we are, what we stand for, and our thoughts on the world today.

Elijah McCoy's parents escaped from #enslavement in the #US in the early-1800s, gaining asylum in #Canada, and he was born in #Ontario in 1843. Being what we would now consider a "gifted" child, his parents saved money to send him to Scotland to study #engineering when he was 15.

He returned to the US after the Civil War, but could not find work as an engineer due to #racism and #segregation practices: anti-#discrimination programs like #DEI and the #EEOC, had not been established, so opportunities for even the most qualified #black men were scarce, passed up for even less qualified #white men.
