....I did say that airlines weren't going to be able to risk trying to grab the lets go crazy / performative histrionics to draw eyes to its industry's plight so it can go back to giving people the runaround on refunding bad flights ...spotlight, but this is ridiculous.

…but why do I “care” care?

I have too many ancestors on the far side of the veil that were pressed against it and heard my mean ole virgo grandma threaten to END me if I ever didn’t honor every drop of multi-complexioned blood that fucking led to me.

Because they fought for the splice my happily red-black ass became.

Too many ancestral spirits that would whip my ass for standing down on this.

I aint getting my ass beat soon as I cross back into heaven for playing small minded and racist back twds you fucks.

These mofos waiting for me were wild enough to love & fuck who they loved & fucked when it could’ve got their bloodlines ended.

Fuck playing small and non-melting pot for y’all.

I haven’t had the bandwidth allowance to not pay attention. To not comprehend what is afoot again.

The Immigration Act of 1924, also known as the Johnson-Reed Act, was a restrictive immigration law that limited the number of immigrants allowed into the United States

  • Numerical limitsThe act established the first numerical limit on immigration to the U.S., setting a quota of 2% of the country-of-origin populations from the 1890 census. 
  • National origin quotasThe act divided the global cap into national quotas for the Eastern Hemisphere, based on census data. 
  • Exclusion of AsiansThe act barred immigrants who were “ineligible for citizenship,” effectively prohibiting immigration from Asian countries. 
  • Border controlThe act authorized the creation of the U.S. Border Patrol, the country’s first formal border control service. 
  • Consular control systemThe act established a “consular control system” that required immigrants to obtain a visa from a U.S. consulate abroad. 

The act was passed at the height of the eugenics movement and growing nativism following World War I. Its goals were to: Restrict immigration, Alter the demographic makeup of the United States, and Expand immigration and border enforcement globally. 

The act had a lasting impact on the U.S. population, reducing religious, ethnic, and racial diversity. It also shut out most European Jews and other refugees fleeing fascism and the Holocaust.
