🇨🇺 The US is trying to starve 10 million Cubans. We are bringing 2,500lbs of lentils to Cuba to break this criminal and genocidal blockade. LIFT THE BLOCKADE ON CUBA NOW

World turned upside down: 1) Jews protesting genocide are "anti-Semites"; 2) U.S. citizens trying to stop ethnic cleansing are "terrorists"; and 3) "The Mismeasure of Man" is "an example of pseudoscience about race and IQ," and (presumably) Murray's "The Bell Curve" isn't.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

So the homicide was premeditated. Planned in advance. Agents knew they wanted to kill him, so they prepared for the opportunity and took it. Thanks for helping NYT.

This Bruce anti-ICE anthem is gonna leave a mark:

On 1/30 we are shutting it down, and, on 1/31, we are gathering across the country to demand ICE Out of Everywhere, permanently!

A thread of MAGA protesting with guns and not getting murdered for it... Arizona, November 2020

They murder a man in cold blood and wait around to watch him die. There is no hell hot enough. Abolish DHS. Impeach, convict, remove. Trials as soon as possible.

This is really is a great piece, and Kevin makes an important point in it: “the data was made vulnerable because our scientific institutions assume good faith in people. There needs to be an acknowledgment that there are bad-faith researchers. The rules and regulations need to catch up with that”

The Pioneer Fund was also the main funder of the Minn. Study of Twins Reared Apart. The researchers suppressed their control group results not only to match their IQ-hereditarian confirmation biases, but also to please their funders. jayjoseph22.substack.com/p/iq-heredit... osf.io/preprints/ps...

Tim Walz: “Minnesota has had it.”

Both peddle junk science in the service of far-right political agendas. For example, "The Bell Curve." osf.io/preprints/ps... www.madinamerica.com/2024/03/bad-...

Thousands outside Terminal 1 at the Minneapolis airport now.

Colorful and seemingly impressive diagrams do nothing challenge my 2025 conclusion that "schizophrenia genetic research" is a 110-year-long trainwreck. www.madinamerica.com/2025/08/the-...

In the words of John Lewis, it's time for "good trouble." If you're a Minnesotan, I urge you to join tomorrow's Ice Out For Good economic blockout and exercise your collective power. And if you're not, organize in solidarity and demand our leaders stand up to ICE. https://iceoutforgood.org/

Breaking: Three unions are calling on the University of Minnesota to shut down for Jan. 23. They include the Graduate Labor Union Electrical Workers Local 1105, AFSCME 3800, & Teamsters Local 320. Campus undergraduate organizations are joining the call. labornotes.org/2026/01/will...

For those that don’t know, Minneapolis unions called for a statewide strike

Extreme skepticism aside, if psychiatry only learned to "objectively spot mental illness" in 2026, wouldn't that call into question all psychiatric research conducted prior to 2026? jayjoseph22.substack.com/p/the-110-ye...

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

At a time when multiple federal departments run by Donald Trump have posted Nazi slogans or imagery or songs in the last week—with the total number of incidents being impossible to count just on one hand—Trump is now demanding lists of Jews from U.S. institutions. Time to wake the fuck up, all.

one of the weirdest things about the current moment is how the national media have to pretend like they don't know what this is about. official government social media accounts are posting about racially cleansing America and they have to pretend like it's not clear who the bad guy is.

With this list of Minnesota labor and community orgs this is REAL. Not internet randos repeating a meme.

Students at Roosevelt High School in Minneapolis are walking out to protest ICE days after a clash between U.S. Border Patrol agents and protesters at the school. 📸: Jerry Holt

Its not MAGA, its MEGA (Make Eugenics Great Again) same old arguments about low birth rates among "old American stock" aka "Heritage Americans"

Thank you, Dave Matthews, for also speaking out.

BREAKING: Massive Crowds of Anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis, Minnesota as we speak. The tide is turning. America is Fed Up. Americans should be fighting back against what is happening in this country. Having masked, secret police shooting people, breaking into homes and cars, is NOT normal.

"Trump's Venezuela Attack: It’s All About the Oil, Stupid!" Here are five times Donald Trump himself admitted that illegally attacking Venezuela and toppling Nicolás Maduro was aimed at seizing the country’s massive oil reserves. From me for Zeteo:

Dozens of cities across the country marched yesterday against Trump’s war on Venezuela. The marches were called as part of an emergency day of action in response to the administration’s bombing of Caracas Friday night. Even more actions are planned for today, including at the NY MDC holding Maduro.

"Hands off Venezuela!"

pinker should shadow the doctors for a day and THEN see if he feels like slandering them

This winter the Israeli government has not stopped committing genocide in Gaza, and the US has not stopped funding it.

and for a more recent analysis of how immigration restriction was a goal of the "race suicide" enthusiasts, see: www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

There is a unity of message coming out of this administration. It echoes, sometimes verbatim, the messages of early 20th Century eugenics. Here is an example from a 1919 article by Prescott Hall, a leader of the immigration restriction movement, describing immigrants as a public health threat.

Hall's comments were quoted verbatim in an openly white supremacist volume of the era: The Rising Tide of Color against White World-Supremacy by Lothrop Stoddard. This book was parodied by Scott Fitzgerald in The Great Gatsby. Stoddard and his ilk wrote the script you are hearing repeated today.

Today's lesson in eugenic history

Davenport believed that temperament was inherited. His book The Feebly Inhibited suggested that paupers and criminals often lacked both intelligence and self control --feeblemindedness and feeble inhibitions worked hand in hand to cause social problems.

or US eugenics in 1914, etc.

Look for this twist as Trump Fund baby rules are released:

The argument that poverty and crime are caused by intellectual deficits and lack of self-control was made regularly by leaders in eugenics like Walter Fernald. This is Fernald in 1912, giving a lecture about "The Burden of Feeble-Mindedness" printed in the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal.

Every time you hear about "low IQ people" you should realize the eugenic echoes are just getting louder:

The message is the same as always:

It is a very old lie: see 1913

Just as they also dubbed hookworm “the germ of laziness”

100 years ago, eugenicists and others were sure that pellagra was a genetic disease, and not a disease of poverty, as it actually was.

A recent critical review of Thomas Bouchard’s “Minnesota Study of Twins Reared Apart” (MISTRA) by David Bessis led me to take a closer look at a 2023 IQ genetic figure created and posted by Cremieux. My new Substack post: jayjoseph22.substack.com/p/the-2023-c...
