Ohio teacher’s union not on same page as the governor – (what about shots for non-teaching staff?)
Earlier this month, DeWine announced his plan to get kids back into the classroom by March 1st. Teachers would be able to get the vaccine in phase 1B – if their district committed to in-person learning. Source: Ohio teacher’s union not on same page as the governor
« I minatori d’oro hanno inquinato la foresta. Era pieno di fumo epidemico e fummo presi in una frenesia mortale. »
The gold miners have polluted the forest. It was filled with epidemic smoke and we were caught in a deadly frenzy.
Come afferma il portavoce y sciamano degli Yanomami Davi Kopenawa nel suo libro La caduta del cielo: « In ogni caso, i nostri anziani dovevano solo inalare questo fumo sconosciuto per morire molto rapidamente … Questo è il modo in cui sperimentiamo il potere delle epidemie xawara del popolo bianco … Più che abbastanza di noi sono già morti a causa di epidemie di xawara propagato dai bianchi in passato.
Abbiamo visto i bianchi diffondere la loro epidemia e ucciderci con le loro armi. Li abbiamo visti distruggere la foresta e i fiumi. Sappiamo che possono essere avidi e malvagi e che le loro menti sono spesso piene di oscurità. Ma sappiamo anche che tutte le parole dei bianchi potrebbero sparire dalla nostra mente solo se smettessero di invadere e distruggere la nostra terra. Allora…

Recall Newsom effort has QAnon, anti-vaxxer extremist ties – Los Angeles Times
- Hardline activists from the anti-vaccination movement. Two leaders, Denise Aguilar and Tara Thornton with the Freedom Angels, organized and participated in numerous rallies at the state Capitol that promoted the recall effort. At these events, speakers denounced vaccines and health orders. The Proud Boys, who have been involved in protest violence, from street brawls in Sacramento to the incursion of the nation’s Capitol, are also often present. Aguilar has said they provided security.
- The recall campaign itself provided a safe harbor for the propaganda and violent rhetoric that riled the Republican voter base and spilled over into the Capitol riot. An organizer in El Dorado County is a Three Percenter — an anti-government extremist movement, according to the Anti-Defamation League. Until social media crackdowns and questions from reporters at The Times, the recall’s ostensibly bipartisan Facebook pages repeated the surreal conspiracies of QAnon as fact and asserted the national election was rigged despite all evidence to the contrary. Those pages have also likened the daily disruptions of COVID-19 to the Holocaust and the governor to Hitler, framing their struggles as if they were on par with the massacre of 6 million Jews.
- With the pandemic, two leaders of the Freedom Angels splintered off to join those opposed to COVID-19 closure and stay-at-home orders.
The splinter group also recently started an all-female militia, and advertises seminars on social media on how to target local health department officials, including staging nonviolent actions at officials’ private homes.
Aguilar, one of the founders of the offshoot group, is also a supporter of the Proud Boys, appearing at one Capitol rally wearing a shirt with a patch that read, “I (heart) Proud Boys” and at another introducing group members as security. Since the election, Proud Boys have fought with antifa counter-protesters during at least seven Capitol rallies, according to Sacramento police, and 27 people have been arrested or cited.
- Aaron Bate, an El Dorado County recall organizer who with Heatlie was part of an earlier petition drive against Newsom, is active in the Three Percenters and has personally delivered thousands of recall signatures to his county election office.
On social media, Bate has posed with others flashing a Three Percenter hand sign, and with men in Proud Boys clothing flashing an OK hand gesture associated with their group and with white supremacy. Brian Levin, professor of criminal justice and director of the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at Cal State San Bernardino, described the Three Percenters as “an anti-government paramilitary group that promotes the idea that violence is legitimate to combat gun control laws.”
- Robin McCrea, chief financial officer for the recall and one of its founding members, posted memes and comments on a personal social media page disputing the election. “PEVERT (sic) Quid Pro Joe Corrupt Beijing Biden will NEVER be the President of Patriots…NEVER,” she wrote in one. Later that day, she posted false assertions that the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol was the work of anti-fascist activists, another conspiracy theory that quickly took hold after the insurgency.
