The Last Generation of Black Americans Under Jim Crow
For those left who remember the ill-effects of institutional segregation, the culture of racism is still alive and well in today's America.

Aujourd'hui, c'est la Journée de l'installation en médecine à la faculté de médecine et maïeutique de Lille (#LaCatho) dans des locaux très Poudlardiens !
C'est organisé par #NorAGJIR, le syndicat des jeunes généralistes et remplaçants, en partenariat avec l'#URPS #médecins libéraux des Hauts-de-France.
C'est super intéressant pour synthétiser les démarches qui mènent à l'installation (libérale essentiellement).

1983 GAME OF THE YEAR
Top two games to go through to next round
#GameoftheYear1983 #ZXSpectrum #SinclairZXSpectrum #RetroGaming
Edgar Uihlein Jr.’s second child, #Dick, born in 1945, grew up in the wealthy Chicago suburb of Lake Bluff and got the same sort of blue-blood education
(Phillips Andover, Stanford)
as his father (Hotchkiss, Princeton).
Amid the social upheavals of the ’60s, #Dick #Uihlein didn’t waver:
He married Liz before graduating from college in 1967,
joined the family business and immersed himself in conservative politics.
He worked on the 1969 Illinois congressional campaign of Phil Crane, who won a crowded Republican primary in an upset on a hardline anti-tax and anti-communist platform.
In one of the only interviews he’s ever given, Dick Uihlein told National Review in 2018 that he got his politics from his father,
who often went by Ed.
At the family breakfast table growing up, Uihlein recalled,
“My father would talk about the importance of capitalism and the evils of socialism.”
Dick said that same year that
“my father shared many of the same values that I have, conservative values.”
Dick and Liz Uihlein continue to revere Edgar Jr., who died in 2005.
Dick Uihlein named the family foundation after his father, and it now sends tens of millions of dollars to right-wing institutions.
Among the recipients of the Ed Uihlein Family Foundation’s grants are the #Federalist #Society and think tanks that have pushed misleading claims about the 2020 election, such as the #Conservative #Partnership #Institute
and the
#Foundation #for #Government #Accountability,
as the Daily Beast reported.
Tucked in toward the back of the Uline catalog released this summer,
sent out to millions of homes and businesses,
was a long tribute to the “wise” Edgar Uihlein Jr.
“Father Uihlein, the head of the family, had a towering presence, and we respected his values,” wrote Liz Uihlein under a picture of her husband and father-in-law,
recalling “frequent dinners at his house, where business, issues of the day, fishing muskies and, always, politics were discussed.”
She ended on a note of nostalgia tinged with bitterness:
“Living your life and raising your kids were easier in an easier time.
There was no legalized marijuana, defund the police or social media.
We, like so many families, were raised with a sharp moral compass.
The rules were the rules, but it was OK.”
The Uihleins’ political giving reflects these longings for a bygone era.
Dick Uihlein is a major funder of the #American #Principles #Project,
which runs ads attacking what it calls “#transgender #ideology,” #abortion and the teaching of “#critical #race #theory.”
Last year, Uihlein weighed in on recalling four school board members in a small town north of Milwaukee because of their support for COVID-19 #safety #protocols and “#equity” training for teachers.
More recently, in his home state of Illinois, Uihlein has spent more than $50 million to back the Republican gubernatorial candidate #Darren #Bailey, who has drawn criticism for saying the #Holocaust “doesn’t even compare” to the toll of abortions and for accusing Democrats of “putting #perversion into our schools” for adopting a sex ed bill that includes information about gender identity and same-sex couples.
The Uihleins were huge beneficiaries of a tax provision promoted by Sen. #Ron #Johnson, R-Wisc., that was included in the Trump tax overhaul and are continuing to support the Wisconsin senator and fund attack ads against his opponent.
For all the Uihleins’ dismay at the disorder they see consuming the country, there is one domain where they can exert near total control.
Former employees of Uline told ProPublica the couple’s traditionalist politics govern the smallest details of how the company is run.
For new staffers, it begins with the #dress #code in the employee handbook:
Women are not permitted to wear pants except as part of a pantsuit or on Fridays;
hose or stockings must be worn except during the warmer months;
dresses “that are too short” and corduroy of any kind are strictly prohibited.
The handbook defines “tardy” as one minute past an employee’s scheduled start time.
Just four personal items are allowed on employees’ desks,
with maximum dimensions of 5 inches by 7 inches.
One former staffer at Uline’s headquarters recalled a coworker who was forced to remove several drawings done by his young child.
“Liz would walk up and down the aisles, and if your desk looked off, you’d be written up,” he recalled.

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes
— the mail-order boxes and grocery store bags
— are sold by a single private company, with its name, #Uline, stamped on the bottom.
Few Americans know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products is now 
fueling election deniers and other far-right candidates across the country.
#Dick and #Liz #Uihlein of Illinois are the largest contributors to Pennsylvania gubernatorial candidate #Doug #Mastriano, who attended the Jan. 6 rally and was linked to a prominent antisemite, and have given to #Jim #Marchant, the Nevada Secretary of State nominee who says he opposed the certification of Joe Biden’s election victory in 2020.
They are major funders to groups spreading #election #falsehoods, including "Restoration of America", which, according to an internal document obtained by ProPublica, aims to “get on God’s side of the issues and stay there” and “punish leftists.”
Flush with profits from their shipping supply company, the Uihleins have emerged as
️the No. 1 federal campaign donors for Republicans ahead of the November elections, and ️the No. 2 donors overall behind liberal financier George Soros.
The couple has spent at least $121 million on state and federal politics in the last two years alone, 
fighting taxes, unions, abortion rights and marijuana legalization.
The German-American clan made their original fortune in the 19th century as owners of the Milwaukee brewery Schlitz.
Family members were staples of the Chicago Tribune society pages.
In 1917, Dick’s grandfather was identified as a millionaire in a Chicago Tribune humor item about how the wealthy man had fired an unqualified chauffeur.
When Dick and Liz Uihlein donated millions in recent years to the pro-Trump super PAC "America First Action", they were following in a family tradition.
Edgar J. Uihlein of Chicago was among the handful of largest donors to the original "America First Committee", the aviator Charles Lindbergh’s group that opposed the United States’ entry into World War II.
(It’s unclear whether that was Edgar Sr., Dick’s grandfather, or Edgar Jr., his father, who had just graduated from college.)
While "America First" drew supporters from across the political spectrum, it was most associated with rightists.
Uihlein’s donation was disclosed in 1941.
Later that year, Lindbergh gave an openly #antisemitic #speech assailing Jewish influence.
When Edgar Uihlein Sr. died in 1956, his estate was valued at $4.8 million
— more than $50 million in today’s dollars
— and the money was left in a trust for his heirs, newspapers reported at the time.
Dick’s father, #Edgar Uihlein Jr., who had started a plastics company after serving in the Navy during World War II, established himself as an important funder of far-right political groups in the 1960s.
A document from 1963 identifies Edgar Uihlein Jr. as on the 
National Finance Committee of the #John #Birch #Society.
Founded a few years earlier, the group quickly became a significant force to the right of the Republican Party, known for its obsessively anti-communist politics.
The Birchers combined hostility to New Deal social programs with lurid conspiracies, famously campaigning against “the horrors of #fluoridation,” a supposed Red plot.
The group fiercely opposed civil rights.
An entry in one 1963 Birch newsletter railed against the upcoming March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, where Martin Luther King would give his
“I Have a Dream” speech:
“the only good Americans who should have anything to do with this Communist-instigated mob in any way, or pay any attention to it in Washington, are the police required to maintain law and order.”
Edgar Uihlein Jr. supported politicians who embraced #segregation.
In early 1962, he sponsored a speech that brought to Chicago a former U.S. Army general named #Edwin #Walker.
Walker toured the country attacking supposed communist conspiracies and civil rights, while celebrating the Southern defeat of Reconstruction, which he labeled “the tyranny within our own white race.”
The Anti-Defamation League,
which tracked far-right figures in the period,
has archives showing Edgar Uihlein Jr.’s involvement with several other groups and campaigns,
including a $1,000 contribution to the presidential campaign of segregationist #George #Wallace in 1968.
It’s not clear when, if ever, Uihlein’s association with the John Birch Society ended.
As late as 1977, the founder of the group wrote a long letter to him asking for money.
[Covid19] [droit] la vaccination obligatoire des soignants n’était pas contraire aux droits de l’Homme

https://www.jim.fr/viewarticle/covid-19-vaccination-obligatoire-des-soignants-n%C3%A9tait-2024a1000fu1
Les (rares) professionnels de santé qui ont refusé cette obligation ont alors été suspendus sans salaire, provoquant de vives critiques d’une partie de la classe politique, notamment à l’extrême-droite. Après des débats houleux, ces soignants suspendus ont finalement été réintégrés en mai 2023 [...]

A l’approche des épreuves sportives, certains médias ont mis en lumière un fait largement passé inaperçu : plusieurs aides destinés à faciliter l’insertion des personnes handicapées dans le monde du travail ont été suspendues ou purement supprimées
Trump allies hobble misinformation research
Claire Wardle knew her email account wasn’t private.
Starting last fall, whenever the prominent misinformation researcher sent or received an email, she had to consider how the message might be swept up and publicly picked apart.
That’s because Wardle’s employer at the time, Brown University, 
had engaged a law firm to use AI software to sift through her correspondence, searching for messages from government agencies or tech companies
-- at the request of a Republican-led investigation into the politically divisive field of misinformation research.
The investigation stems from a legal campaign
-- led by allies of former president Donald Trump to cast the study of misinformation as part of a broader conspiracy to censor conservative voices online.
It has transformed the daily life and work of Wardle and many others who worked at tracking election misinformation online,
-- a field now reeling as the 2024 presidential race enters its final months.
Wary of the political scrutiny, researchers held back from publicly airing some of their insights on the spate of conspiracy theories erupting online after the July 13 assassination attempt on Trump,
according to one such researcher, who spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear of political retribution.
False rumors and disinformation have proliferated online as the nation reels from that shooting and President Biden’s withdrawal from the race.
House Judiciary Committee Chair #Jim #Jordan (R-Ohio) has peppered academics, including Wardle, with document requests as part of a broad probe into the alleged weaponization of government against conservatives.
Earlier this month, #Meedan, a nonprofit focused on promoting reliable information, received a request from Jordan about its efforts to monitor misinformation related to the 2024 election, according to a person familiar with the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retribution
Ehpad : plusieurs maires bretons intentent une action en justice contre l’État

Paris, le mercredi 22 mai 2024 – Plusieurs maires bretons réclament plusieurs millions d’euros à l’Etat pour affronter l’inflation, qui a aggravé de façon assez sévère les conditions de vie des résidents en Ehpad.
Petite pause pour moi pour finir cette journée marathon sur l'#installation. #JIM
L'occasion d'ajouter quelques photos.
Premier bilan à chaud : des participants très intéressés, nombre de questions qui ont amenées à pas mal de digressions dans une ambiance informelle. Et même sur le dernier atelier, la participation reste bien là (alors que souvent elle s'étiole).
Je suis très satisfait de cette (probable) dernière édition pour moi en tant qu'organisateur et intervenant ! #NorAGJIR
Aujourd'hui, c'est la journée de l'installation en médecine #JIM organisée par #NorAGJIR avec le soutien logistique de l'#URPSML !
Objectif : dédramatiser l'#installation (surtout en #MG même si les principes restent les mêmes pour les autres spécialités) et donner les clés aux jeunes médecins pour que ça se passe bien !
Une soixantaine de participants pour ce samedi, c'est plutôt satisfaisant !
