"Hayward, Alameda County officials propose Russell City reparations fund.
The $900,000 fund would go to living former residents of Russell City, a Black and Latino community that was bulldozed for an industrial park in the 1960s."

"The big picture: President Trump's recently signed the "big, beautiful bill," which includes an extension of the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA) and, for the first time, covers victims of the Trinity Test.
The inclusion comes after the victims fought for acknowledgement and reparations over multiple generations.
It also comes before the 80th anniversary of the Trinity Test, which is next week."

Now is the time

At a time when many national leaders are conducting a far-reaching gaslighting experiment, attempting to erase America’s centuries-long embrace of slavery and its aftermath, reparations are often dismissed as politically toxic or impossibly complex and costly.

But this is not the time for small imaginations.

B. I rarely ask for myself, but if you want to help me support my grandkids (5 of them) put a note TIP or something. Anything I can do to equip them with educational tools and experiences to achieve parity, I am most grateful for.

Every day I watch supposedly progressive people concern themselves with the wrongs upon their lives and even other continents while doing nothing to support #Reparations for the #Native #Indigenous #BIPOC #FormerlyEnslaved peoples on the stolen lands and lives they benefit from.

For those that do support our businesses & #IndigenousMutualAid; For those that understand the great harms inflicted upon us & the need for reparations; For those that do something about it I thank you.

@anomalon @audubonballroon I do my best to unlearn all the lessons coming from my dad's side of the family. I present white, and am functionally white due to how this stupid shit works(white supremacy, etc) but honestly, why should I give a crap if white people become the minority? We've seen white supremacy in action, and the world doesn't need that shit. Me? Although I am part white, I am also Native, Shawnee, Cherokee. I want #LandBack and #Reparations for black folks in this land.

When tf is your political, highly connected circle going to break down the door for #reparations? You hv a prob with #ados? Then go do it the "right" way. Sitting on social media b!tching about ppl who are doing the hard, tiresome, often thankless work of building a foundation to change sh!t! 🙄 I can't stand yall FED-head aszes.😒 Situations like this make me certain this is the right direction bc the headwinds are a CAT 5. #politics
