Real #protest is not giving your children to a #system that is #abusing you and your children in turn.

Don't have children if you really care and see the pattern which is too strong to think about 'a better life' or 'protest'.

By default our existence is from this crap and only way is not to give fresh meat to what eats away at us.

RE: https://woof.tech/@witchgirls/117252749516510721

If USians spent any time at all being informed about the foreign policy practiced on the behalf of US interests ( #capitalism and the military industrial complex) they would better understand why the US was attacked in 2001. Instead most are ignorant of decades of violent US interventions into the affairs of other nations.

I'm not sure if it's willful ignorance or just the general lack of concern USians have had about the functioning of "their" government. Regardless, it's not a valid shield for the violence done every year by the US.

The violence of #US #imperialism has never been acceptable. An economy that profits from never ending #war and war profiteering of a huge domestic arms industry should never have been but it is and it is ongoing. And USians refuse responsibility .

This is a violent nation founded on #genocide, #slavery and #colonialism. #Democracy here was always a lie cultivated by a wealthy ruling class. And it was just an extension of the same in Europe.

Thanks 🙏 to @wikipedia for today’s story about the Christiana #Resistance to #slavery in 1851.

#Maryland plantation owner Edward Gorsuch planned a kidnapping expedition after 4 of his slaves escaped across the border to #Pennsylvania to live and work as free men on the farm of William Parker (himself a slave who escaped from Maryland). It went badly, Gorsuch was killed and several of his goons were injured. Parker and his party fled to #Canada. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Parker_(abolitionist)

If #slavery tore a nation apart in 1861, …

what do we call a #system where #freedom, money and power rise to the top while work, responsibility and rules grow below?

Perhaps unfreedom begins where people lose the last degrees of freedom needed for self-correction.

40 safety breaches in SafeWork NSW blitz on Coffs Coast, Riverina farm businesses

"Labour-hire firms and agribusinesses across the Coffs Coast and Riverina have been issued with more than 40 safety notices in a SafeWork NSW blitz after allegations of slavery in the fruit-picking industry."

"The workplace safety watchdog has identified dozens of safety issues across labour-hire firms and agribusinesses operating on New South Wales fruit farms in the wake of serious modern slavery allegations in the fruit-picking industry." >>

The Nation tours offered one during the pandemic that went to some of these new museums and memorials revealing the struggles and injustices of the institution of slavery in the American south. Too soon for me, but I would be grateful for a redux tour. The art in these new installations is extraordinary.

Focus on Coffs Harbour and Nambucca Valley

"NSW modern slavery report calls for urgent reform to protect migrant workers."

"A NSW parliamentary report into modern slavery has detailed "harrowing stories of mistreatment and harm..The report asked the government to investigate allegations of systemic labour exploitation in Coffs Harbour and the Nambucca Valley."

"NSW Anti-slavery commissioner Dr James Cockayne said in a statement the report was "informed by evidence from almost 100 witnesses across NSW, including victim survivors of modern slavery, and 60 submissions"." >>

Vulnerable workers bearing the cost of providing Australia with cheap food

"Across Australia's fruit and vegetable industry, Fair Work Ombudsman investigations have repeatedly uncovered widespread non-compliance...: systemic worker exploitation, forced labour, debt bondage and, in some cases, human trafficking and servitude."

"In Coffs Harbour, 61 per cent of growers and labour hire companies inspected were found to be breaching workplace laws, including underpaying workers. The figure rose to 72 per cent in the Riverina and 83 per cent in Victoria's Mornington Peninsula and Yarra Valley....Oz Group, a co-operative representing more than 140 berry growers across NSW's Mid North Coast, said in its 2020 statement it "does not accept any form of slavery-like practices within the co-operative or throughout its supply chain".However, in its 2025 statement, the co-operative said, "addressing modern slavery requires ongoing effort and collaboration" and it remained "committed to continuous improvement"." >>

[content note: mention of lynching, sexualized harm, and murder of a child]

Another fact:

Yes, that Julia Ward Howe. Writer of the Battle Hymn of the Republic. Which was an appropriation of John Brown's Body, a communally-created song in honor of an abolitionist who opposed slavery by shooting people.

"Women are stripped to the skin in the presence of leering, white-skinned, black-hearted brutes and lashed into insensibility and strangled to death from the limbs of trees. A girl child of fifteen years was lynched recently by these brutal bullies. Where has justice fled? The eloquence of Wendell Phillips is silent now. John Brown’s body lies moldering in the grave. But will his spirit lie there moldering, too? Brutes, inhuman monsters—you heartless brutes—you whom nature forms by molding you in it, deceive not yourselves by thinking that another John Brown will not arise." – Lucy Parsons, 1892

Chairman of the CARICOM Reparations Commission Sir Hilary Beckles (vice-chancellor of the University of the West Indies) described the adoption by the 80th UN General Assembly of the Resolution designating the Trafficking of Enslaved Africans as the Gravest Crime Against Humanity, as a “historic, landmark decision.”

@appassionato Actually according to what I understand, the economy of whole Cambodia, not only Tonle Sap Lake relies mainly on mass abduction, extortion, torture, murder and scam centers: " witnessed the murder of a man who had his throat cut by a compound manager after he was caught trying to escape" -- "police visited their compounds regularly, including to remove dead bodies, but without taking any action against the managers" -- "Many people died" -- "murder, rape and torture" -- "evidence pointing towards state complicity or deliberate inaction" -- "Cambodian authorities appear to be doing nothing to help"

@dromografos And the human rights in their country of origin Cambodia are like this: " witnessed the murder of a man who had his throat cut by a compound manager after he was caught trying to escape" -- "police visited their compounds regularly, including to remove dead bodies, but without taking any action against the managers" -- "Many people died" -- "murder, rape and torture" -- "evidence pointing towards state complicity or deliberate inaction" -- "Cambodian authorities appear to be doing nothing to help"

@thejapantimes Let's add some criticism of the Cambodian regime: " witnessed the murder of a man who had his throat cut by a compound manager after he was caught trying to escape" -- "police visited their compounds regularly, including to remove dead bodies, but without taking any action against the managers" -- "Many people died" -- "murder, rape and torture" -- "evidence pointing towards state complicity or deliberate inaction" -- "Cambodian authorities appear to be doing nothing to help"

@AskDRZ To this post IMO uncritical to the regime, which is IMO symbolized by this memorial built by IMO dictator Hun Sen, I am adding a differing point of view: "witnessed the murder of a man who had his throat cut by a compound manager after he was caught trying to escape" -- "police visited their compounds regularly, including to remove dead bodies, but without taking any action against the managers" -- "Many people died" -- "murder, rape and torture" -- "evidence pointing towards state complicity or deliberate inaction" -- "Cambodian authorities appear to be doing nothing to help"

Trump’s attacks on the ‘Blacksonian’ have a history in a century-old myth | The Guardian

Trump’s attacks on the ‘Blacksonian’ have a history in a century-old myth

By Saida Grundy

The United Daughters of the Confederacy set out to make slavery respectable again by promoting ‘the lost cause’

Sat 23 Aug 2025 07.00 EDT

It should surprise no one that former cast members from reality shows that ran for more than 15 seasons are running out of new material.

Days ago, Donald Trump, former star of NBC’s The Apprentice and current US president, posted a lengthy Truth Social rant in which he (again) threatened the country’s leading cultural institutions to adhere to his political ideology. The target was one he has had in his crosshairs before – the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC) – which Trump called “OUT OF CONTROL” in his post. “Everything discussed [in NMAAHC exhibits] is how horrible our Country is, how bad Slavery was,” Trump unloaded. “WOKE IS BROKE,” he continued through his customary use of all caps and misplaced capitalization of common nouns. “We have the HOTTEST Country in the World, and we want people to talk about it, including in our Museums.”

The tirade left many wondering what exactly Trump saw as the upsides of slavery, but also where they had previously heard this recycled talking point. The comment seemed to echo comments made just days prior by his fellow reality show bully Jillian Michaels, a former trainer on NBC’s The Biggest Loser, the weight-loss competition show that launched alongside The Apprentice in 2004. Michaels had been making her rounds in media and public appearances, rebranding from verbally abusive fat shamer to Maga influencer.

On CNN’s NewsNight, the host Abby Phillips moderated a roundtable discussion on Trump’s months-long overreach into cultural institutions such as the Kennedy Center and the NMAAHC. Michaels hijacked the conversation into a lament about slavery’s prominence in the massively popular museum’s displays on US history. “[Trump] is not whitewashing slavery, he’s not,” Michaels said. “You cannot tie slavery to just one race, which is what every single exhibit [at NMAAHC] does.” Turning towards the representative Ritchie Torres, who was seated beside her, Michaels unloaded popular far-right talking points. “Do you realize that only less than 2% of white Americans owned slaves?” she continued. “Do you realize slavery is thousands of years old? Do you know who was the first race who tried to end slavery?”

Torres’s interjections that slavery was a system of white supremacy, not a set of individual white acts, went unaddressed by the TV star. (From 20% to 50% of the white population in southern US states owned enslaved people, and all white people nationwide benefited from slavery’s racial order. Michael’s false claims prompted Phillips to later post a public correction.)

The tirade was an escalation of Trump’s previous open declarations to “restore truth and sanity to American history”, an effort to overhaul exhibits and installations across federally operated museums and galleries and politicize their content, with the NMAAHC locked squarely in the administration’s sights for what it called “corrosive ideology”. Previous edicts about the museum, lovingly nicknamed “The Blacksonian” by many of its patrons, had not specifically identified slavery as the White House’s gripe. But Trump’s Truth Social post more directly reflected a return to a century-old tactic to minimize chattel slavery as “not that bad”.

Changing the Smithsonian doesn’t erase slavery and the racial wealth gap – The Washington Post

Changing the Smithsonian doesn’t erase slavery and the racial wealth gap

There isn’t enough museum space to represent the full extent of the brutality that millions had to endure.

August 22, 2025 at 6:00 a.m. EDT, Yesterday at 6:00 a.m. EDT, 5 min

Column by Michelle Singletary

The legacy of slavery — and the decades of theft associated with it both before and after it ended — cannot be erased from American history.

Nor should it be minimized.

One might assume this didn’t need to be said. But comments made by President Donald Trump suggest otherwise.

Trump this week accused the Smithsonian Institution of being “WOKE” and too focused on slavery, using his platform to diminish itsimpact and criticize exhibits, including those at the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington.

“The Smithsonian is OUT OF CONTROL, where everything discussed is how horrible our Country is, how bad Slavery was, and how unaccomplished the downtrodden have been,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Nothing about Success, nothing about Brightness, nothing about the Future.”

I am a descendant of enslaved people, and there isn’t enough museum space to represent the full extent of the brutalitythat millions had to endure.

In a 10-part award-winning series that I wrote five years ago, I aimed to dispel common misconceptions about race and inequality.

Sincerely, Michelle

Yes, Black Americans are entitled to reparations. We’ve earned them.

In one part, I recounted how my grandmother, Big Mama, told me about her enslaved great-grandmother, Leah Drumwright.

While caring for her own infant, Leah was forced to nurse the baby of the White woman who owned her. The woman made another demand, one that still fills me with grief and anger.

Leah was told she could nurse her own baby only on her right breast. Theleft was strictly reserved for the White baby. The woman’s rationale: The left breast, being closer to the heart, produced healthier milk, and therefore, the best milk had to be given to the White child.

One evening, exhausted from cleaning and cooking for the plantation owners, Leah was caught in the kitchen feeding her child on her left breast.

Fueled by rage, the White mother struck Leah across the face. A beating followed the slap.

I want to revisit part of the “Sincerely, Michelle” series because understanding our history with slavery is crucial to addressing economic disparities that still exist for Black Americans.

The institution that stripped Leah of basic human rights also seeded the discriminatory policies that systematically denied Blacks opportunity.

After the Civil War, many newlyfreed people purchased land, only to see it stolen. Prosperous Black towns were looted and burned. Blacks were denied the right to vote and were prohibited from living in certain neighborhoods.

There must be something in the water that attracts stupid people & raging #hypocrites to the #GOP.

#Robinson *actually* said that "If #slavery were legal today, he "might buy himself some slaves."

Hey Dumbass! If slavery were legal today, you wouldn't BE wealthy and in the position to buy your own slaves. #JFC

And, of course, wherever you have large groups of submissive stupid people, you'll find #Conmen, #Grifters & #Charlatans ready to take advantage of them.

150 Years after the 13th Amendment

After the United States civil war, in 1865 the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution were approved by Congress and ratified.

What seems so natural, so obvious and simple was not so simple in the New World. it took a long time before the majority was willing to accept it was wrong in every sense.

The Thirteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution reads:

Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

 

But lots of pioneers who came from Europe and liked those cheap labour-forces did not want to have those “monkies” like they were often called, being part of their normal co-habitats.

President Abraham Lincoln (1861–1865) had issued the Emancipation Proclamation, based on congressional acts, which gave the president authority to confiscate rebel property and forbid the military from returning slaves of rebels to their owners. Being liberated from their masters those Negroes started to create their own free businesses. Only addressing the rebelling southern states the proclamation did not resolve the issue of slavery for the nation as a whole. It was thought the Thirteenth Amendment (the first of the three so-called “Civil War Amendments“) would bring a solution for all coloured people, prohibiting slavery throughout the country. To extend the rights of citizenship to all people regardless of race or colour the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments were added.

Congress enacted a number of statutes to enforce the provisions of the Civil War Amendments, but by the end of the nineteenth century, most of those statutes had been overturned by the courts, repealed, or nullified by subsequent legislation.

Segregation of the races in schools, public accommodations, public transportation, and various other aspects of public life, was honoured for a long time after the amendment was written.

It has taken many man years before that all persons could have full and equal enjoyment of public inns, parks, theatres, and other places of amusement, regardless of race or colour.  Even today, anno 2015, we see that in the United states there are still many states or regions where the white people are not so happy with those with a darker skin. In several regions it is still more difficult for a coloured man to find work than for a white man.

1904 caricature of “White” and “Jim Crow” rail cars by John T. McCutcheon. Despite Jim Crow’s legal pretense that the races be “separate but equal” under the law, non-whites were given inferior facilities and treatment {John McCutheon. The Mysterious Stranger and Other Cartoons by John T. McCutcheon, New York, McClure, Phillips & Co. 1905.}

The Supreme Court struck down the Civil Rights Act of 1875 by an 8–1 vote, holding that Congress had exceeded its authority to enforce the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments. The Court held that private discrimination against African Americans did not violate the Thirteenth Amendment’s ban on slavery. Following this decision, several northern and western states began enacting their own bans on discrimination in public places. But many other states did the opposite: they began codifying racial segregation and discrimination in laws that became known as the Jim Crow laws. Enacted after the Reconstruction period, these laws continued in force until 1965.

Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court Potter Stewart (1915–1985)

Justice Potter Stewart, writing for the majority, turned to the Thirteenth Amendment and observed that it was adopted to remove the “badges of slavery” and that it gave Congress power to effect that removal. Stewart wrote:

Congress has the power under the Thirteenth Amendment rationally to determine what are the badges and the incidents of slavery, and the authority to translate that determination into effective legislation…. [W]hen racial discrimination herds men into ghettos and makes their ability to buy property turn on the color of their skin, then it too is a relic of slavery.

Normally this 13° amendment also enables Congress to pass laws against sex trafficking and other modern forms of slavery, but the sex trafficking is still a very flourishing business, though some part may come under threat when Donald Trump shall be able to get a firm wall between the Mexican border with increased controls.

The ratification of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution was a long overdue step in the long road the Americans continue to walk in their efforts to address and uproot the systemic injustices embedded into their society. Still today we can see there too many people being forced to terrible inhuman conditions.

Having politicians speaking arrogantly about other coloured and other cultured people makes it that other Americans do not see any harm in using those people as cheap labour and treating them as scum. This week in Europe we once more got to see and hear how a man with lots of money could point his finger to those whom he considered to be cullings and scourings which were just there to be used outside the United states of America to produce cheap products for the American White supremacy.

In the Republican primary the material or essence of those amendments from 150 years ago are at large.

In Europe many people, like me, were afraid the first black president of America would have been put in the grave soon. It worked out differently, for the good. Though lots of good ideas were retained by the republicans, America may be proud of the work Barack Obama still could establish with all that counteraction.

Standing in the United States Capitol today, President Obama reflected on the history of the progress which was made in the United States of America — hard-fought, hard-won, incomplete, but always possible.

Watch his remarks here about the century and a half of freedom and about the stealing of men, women and children from their homelands, separating husbands from wives and parents from children:

As many made clear at the time of its ratification, the 13th Amendment was not a final step, but rather the first step in making real the promise that all men are created equal. Read the letter that Annie Davis, an enslaved woman living in Maryland, wrote to President Lincoln asking if she was free after he had signed the Emancipation Proclamation. He never replied, but the answer was no. It would take an amendment to Maryland’s constitution — and the 13th Amendment — to ensure that she and all enslaved people in the U.S. were free in the eyes of the law.

“President Lincoln understood that if we were ever to fully realize that founding promise, it meant not just signing an Emancipation Proclamation, not just winning a war. It meant making the most powerful collective statement we can in our democracy — etching our values into our Constitution.”

The 13th Amendment: 150 Years Later, President Obama Reflects on the Abolition of Slavery 9 December 2015

“We would do a disservice to those warriors of justice — Tubman and Douglass, and Lincoln and King — were we to deny that the scars of our nation’s original sin are still with us today. We condemn ourselves to shackles once more if we fail to answer those who wonder if they’re truly equals in their communities, or in their justice systems, or in a job interview. We betray the efforts of the past if we fail to push back against bigotry in all its forms.”

“For however slow, however incomplete, however harshly, loudly, rudely challenged at each point along our journey, in America, we can create the change that we seek.

“All it requires is that our generation be willing to do what those who came before us have done: to rise above the cynicism and rise above the fear, to hold fast to our values, to see ourselves in each other, to cherish dignity and opportunity not just for our own children but for somebody else’s child. To remember that our freedom is bound up with the freedom of others — regardless of what they look like or where they come from or what their last name is or what faith they practice…

“That is our choice. Today we affirm hope.”
