Trump has now floated the idea of paying #reparations to the #Jan6 insurrectionists.

This underscores the fact that Trump has not really pardoned the #J6 convicts so much as he has absolved them of all culpability. IOW, there was no criminality here. Very legal, very cool patriotism only.

The real injustice, Trump asserts, was done TO them.

#Mutualaid for March

Just $10 bucks away from covering the PO box renewal fee. Thanks so much for the help so far!

Having been housing insecure for a bit having a PO box is a tremendous safety net so I really appreciate the help maintaining that.

@smari it's important what you're talking about :) I also think that we can do #reparations responsibly in #Africa, but that it has to be defined by people locally who are exposed to dangerous conditions. We can't get that going without activating and supporting them from the ground up, which is what #USAID sort of did.

#Mutualaid for March

Got a slightly unexpected bill $210 bill, its time to renew my PO box but I've only raised $100 so far this month towards bills. Can you help me close the gap?

Life 'cut short': #Peru's victims of #ForcedSterilization seek amends

Story by Agence France-Presse, 2/12/2025

LIMA — "Florentina Loayza was 19 and mother to an infant when she was sterilized by agents of the #PeruvianGovernment, against her will.

"Decades later, the 46-year-old #IndigenousWoman is still fighting for an apology and #reparations along with thousands of others robbed of their fertility in a 1990s state campaign condemned by the United Nations.
'My life was cut short,' Loayza told Agence France-Presse, recounting how her partner abandoned her over the procedure, which also left her with lasting pain.

"'On the outside, we look fine, but inside we are withering,' she said of the estimated 270,000 women who, like her, were coerced, pressured or deceived into surgery to have their fallopian tubes tied.

"Eighteen women died, according to official data, during the campaign that marked the final years of then-President #AlbertoFujimori's 1990-2000 rule.

"His government said it had offered sterilization as part of a family planning project, but the UN women's rights committee said in a report last October the state had carried out a 'systematic and generalized attack against rural and #Indigenous women.'

"It said the procedures were carried out without #InformedConsent from victims who were often poorly educated and did not understand Spanish, the language of officialdom in Peru.

"'It's not something that was done in the cities... but in a specific (rural) area as a way of fighting poverty so that the poorest women didn't reproduce,' Leticia Bonifaz, who was a member of the UN committee, told AFP.

"She said it was the biggest known case of forced sterilization in #LatinAmerica."

Expropriation from the European Jews transfered properties billions worth. From then on, the grabbed money and wealth mostly followed laws of ownership and capitalism. Only in #Germany, they grew into companies and assets in the realm of between €300 billion and €1 trillion.

In their book , Katharina and Zachary #Gallant write:
"Hitler didn't produce Zyklon-B and profit off of its use in the murder of millions: Degesh, Degussa, Henkel, and IG Faben did. Hitler didn't rip the shares of major companies from their Jewish owners, … major German businesses did… And it wasn't Hitler who took over houses and properties that had belonged to Jews through Aryanization, it was everyday Germans, many of whose families still live in those homes today."
