  1. Buchtipp: Freiheitsschiffe. Die unbekannte Geschichte der Flucht aus der Sklaverei auf dem Seeweg

    »Freiheitsschiffe« beschreibt die dramatische Geschichte versklavter Afroamerikaner, die sich auf Schiffen versteckten, die sie in die Freiheit brachten. Bis zu 100.000 versklavten Menschen gelang die Flucht aus der Knechtschaft in den Südstaaten. Sie entkamen entlang eines Netzwerks von Fluchtwegen, das heute als Underground Railroad bekannt ist. Eine immens große Zahl von Fluchtversuchen fand jedoch nicht zu Lande, sondern auf dem Seeweg statt. Die dramatischen Berichte der Entkommenen von heimlichen Verschwörungen und wehenden Segeln machen das Buch zu einer fesselnden Lektüre.
    Der amerikanische Historiker Marcus Rediker (der auch Die vielköpfige Hydra. Die verborgene Geschichte des revolutionären Atlantiks zusammen mit Peter Linebaugh veröffentlichte - ein Standardwerk zur Frage der Zerschlagung der Allmende und Geschichte der verarmten Massen, der Seeleute und Sklaven, der Schuldknechte, der einfachen Frauen, der marginalisierten Arbeiter und Bauern) vermittelt mit seiner detailgenauen Recherche einen tiefen Einblick in die geheime Welt der blinden Passagiere und der Schiffe, die sie in die Freiheit brachten. Er beleuchtet die wenig bekannten Geschichten von Freiheitssuchenden, die ihren Blick aufs Meer richteten. Er berichtet von den Tausenden, die sich heimlich unter Deck versteckten, zum Teil entdeckt wurden und erneut flohen. Er erzählt die Geschichte von Frederick Douglass, der als Matrose verkleidet auf einem Schiff entkam und nach seiner Flucht zu einem der bekanntesten Abolitionisten wurde, und von Harriet Tubman, einer ehemaligen Sklavin, die zu einer der Architektinnen der Underground Railroad wurde. Marcus Rediker beweist erneut seine überragende Kompetenz in der Geschichtsforschung von unten und begibt sich auf eine spannende Reise entlang der Küsten des Atlantiks, auf den Spuren derer, die bei ihrer Suche nach Freiheit alles riskierten.

  21. So it was only yesterday when I learned that some of the spiritual and work songs sung by Black slaves here in the US were used to communicate messages and directions on how to escape.

    "Harriet Tubman; a significant American Abolitionist who saved many enslaved Africans from slavery through the Underground Railroad used songs such as “Go Down Moses," to indicate safety and “Wade in the Water” to signal escapees to get in the water to hide their scent."

Tubman memorized the routes and went back at least 19 times to the Eastern shore of Maryland where she originally escaped from.

  41. The POTUS apparently thinks doctors use beams of healing light, that magically emanate from their palms, to do their fucking jobs, and heal people.

    What's worse, is that roughly 33% of Americans believe the bible is literal, too.

    Religion is really fucking horrific, friends.

    In every guise, it's still a disguise, in every form, it is still formative, yet formless.

    In every clothing, it's a wolf, in the disguise of a shepherd.

    They've never cared for you sheep, whilst they lay down with the wolves.

    Genuinely, science can't give you promises, but as regards illness, and suffering, especially when it's your own kid, science can give hope. It can.

    Stop praying, because it will harm your child's chances of survival.

    Under RFK, Jr., in America, right now, though...don't stop praying. Your odds are better.

    If you are lucky, you will stumble upon amazing healthcare providers, who just ignore the bullshit, because they are smart. You will be in their hands, and that will result in best-efforts care.

    If you are unlucky, you will find yourself in Trump's America.

    Humans are out here - you have to find us, though, and it might be illegal to be human. We'll see how this goes...

    They've never cared for you sheep, whilst they lay down with the wolves.

    Genuinely, science can't give you promises, but as regards illness, and suffering, especially when it's your own kid, science can give hope. It can.

    Stop praying, because it will harm your child's chances of survival.

    Under RFK, Jr., in America, right now, though...don't stop praying. Your odds are better.

    If you are lucky, you will stumble upon amazing healthcare providers, who just ignore the bullshit, because they are smart. You will be in their hands, and that will result in best-efforts care.

    If you are unlucky, you will find yourself in Trump's America.

    Humans are out here - you have to find us, though, and it might be illegal to be human. We'll see how this goes...
