    Chamomile(relaxation), lavender(relaxation), peppermint(nausea deterrent), and lemon(sore throats and the like). Catnip's also kinda neat when tea'd; got an interesting flavor to it, but I'm not sure if there's any therapeutic benefits to that.

    Iunno, if someone I knew was involved in trafficking-victim advocacy efforts, then turned around and penned a letter in defense of a rapist who caught 30 to life, I'd suddenly be second-guessing said advocate's bonafides, and double-checking them too. That's too rowdy a lapse of judgment for me personally to let slide; and all the parasocial weirdos suddenly jumping to Kutcher's aid when it's well known he was a 20 year old with a tongue down a 14 year old's throat on primetime television is equally as sketchy.

    MANIFESTO: Double Jeopardy: To Be Black and Female, Frances Beal, 1969 | Black Agenda Report blackagendareport.com

    Similar to BAR's editorial staff, I consider _the entirety of_ Frances Beal's "Double Jeopardy" to be... Practically mandatory reading for anyone who considers themselves serious about, or _wanting_ to get serious about working alongside subjects-of-empire and their formations. This is what came _before_ 'intersectionality', and how Twitter libs absolutely butchered _that_ concept into the limping carcass it is today. (Also: I find it funny that even in 1969, Beal was already penning the paragraphs to categorically nail the ADOS coffin shut regarding "the emasculation of Black men" and how often Nasheed and his orbiters _first_ throw that flag at the feet of Black women before anyone else.) > _It is true that our husbands, fathers, brothers and sons have been emasculated, lynched and brutalized. They have suffered from the cruellest assault on mankind that the world has ever known. However, it is a gross distortion of fact to state that black women have oppressed black men. The capitalist system found it expedient to enslave and oppress them and proceeded to do so without signing any agreements with black women._ > >... > > _Those who are exerting their "manhood" by telling black women to step back into a domestic, submissive role are assuming a counter-revolutionary position. Black women likewise have been abused by the system and we must begin talking about the elimination of all kinds of oppression. If we are talking about building a strong nation, capable of throwing off the yoke of capitalist oppression, then we are talking about the total involvement of every man, woman, and child, each with a highly developed political consciousness. We need our whole army out there dealing with the enemy and not half an army._

    The Climate Crisis Will End When Capitalism Ends | Black Agenda Report blackagendareport.com

    Posted here, because y'know what? Climate change _is_ an issue that the whole globe will have to deal with if these sociopathic Amerikan energy execs aren't handled. > _“No more drilling on federal lands. Period.^1^ Period.^2^ Period.^3^ Period.^4^” --Joe Biden February 9, 2020_ (^1^ lies, ^2^ more lies, ^3^ damnable lies, ^4^ farce) > _The duopoly’s good cop/bad cop routine is quite predictable. Republicans pledge to drill for oil and proclaim their disdain for environmental concerns by opting out of international climate accords. Democrats join the climate accords and claim they will work towards a fossil free future, as Biden did during his 2020 campaign. But once in office they do what Republicans do. The U.S. is now producing a record 12.8 million barrels of oil per day , more than any other nation. Democrats are the worst liars in this regard, as they are well aware that their voters want action on the environment, but their bread is buttered by big oil._ But the corporate uniparty's two kayfabe-assed wrestling divisions aren't rawdogging us the exact same way, right? _Mmmmh._ > _Biden has issued more permits for oil drilling on federal land than Donald Trump did. He approved the Willow Project on federal lands in Alaska, a project which is estimated to produce more than 239 million metric tons of greenhouse gasses over the project’s 30-year life._ But, 'vote blue no matter who', right? _Mmmmh._ > _The much vaunted Inflation Reduction Act , presented as a path to a fossil free future, actually ties renewable energy programs to oil and gas drilling. The IRA prohibits leasing of federal lands and waters for renewable energy projects such as wind and solar, unless the government has offered at least 2 million acres of public land and 60 million acres in federal waters for oil and gas leasing during the prior year. Any environmental benefits are outweighed by acquiescence to corporate interests that are jeopardizing all life on the planet._ But the only way we can save the country and save our 'democracy'(fuckin lmao) is if we throw away our ballots on the same people charbroiling the planet, right? _Mmmmh._ > _Not only has Biden backtracked on campaign promises, but U.S. inclusion in the Paris climate accords doesn’t amount to very much. The Paris Agreement makes reporting on military CO2 production voluntary. NATO member nations may report on their CO2 emissions but NATO-led operations and training exercises are excluded from any reporting._ Okay, that one's not a surprise. The west would sooner collectively Christ-Bearer themselves than give up their toys of mass war crime, _or_ provide any kind of meaningful transparency on said toys. The fact of the matter is, everything we're doing regarding energy is entirely unsustainable; and I'm honestly at a point where if we can't disarm and pop our collective mouth off the titty of crude oil and fossil fuel _of our own volition,_ I don't have a single issue watching the country cave in on itself. Why should I humor your corrupt blue-ties when they'll cook the planet same as the Trump family cultists? Why should I believe in electoralism, when electoralism is what gave us this absolutely-fraudulent commissioner of skullduggery Biden? We need a new way forward. An _organized_ way forward. A _powerful_ way forward. All with sense know what power _doesn't_ grow out of.

    Black liberation organizers indicted for opposing war peoplesdispatch.org

    It's like I keep saying. Rainer Shea can run his mouth about anything regarding the conflict; he'll never know federal harassment over it. Let one of _us_ oppose the conflict, though, and that's ten to life in a federal pen. But y'know, home of the free. Racism doesn't exist, that was solved with the last peckerwood-serving misleader of a president we had. We're not oppressed as an internal colony, _not at all._

    The State's Constant Attack on Black Liberation | Black Agenda Report www.blackagendareport.com

    > Black people who assert their rights to be sovereign and liberated have always been treated as enemies to be silenced or destroyed. Even enslaved people who sought to escape from bondage were labeled as sufferers of “drapetomania.” The effort to pathologize and stigmatize the fight for freedom never ended. To this very day Black liberation is diminished and discredited as being wrong headed or dangerous. It continues to this day. We see it in the way the Uhuru House wasn't allowed to protest the war effort without literally getting raided and incarcerated as "Russian disinfo agents". We see it in the way that online _settler_-liberals can't help but slander any criticism as "bot farms". We see it in the way that when one of our Misleaders thrives on the malicious philanthropy of the settlers(\*cough* CLARENCE \*cough*), _nothing resembling legal consequences ever seems to happen to them._ "Sell out to us and we'll uplift _you,_ at the cost of your community". This is the byline of the Amerikan Dream offered to us. "Sell out to us, and _you'll_ be comfortable. Sell out to us, and we won't send stochastic crackers to gun you down in broad daylight." That's all it is. And when you don't comply, you're "a Russian" in need of silencing. In need of incarceration. In need of _assassination._ > The fear also explains why the forces arrayed against us continue their fight. Black liberation is dangerous to them. Anti-imperialism is dangerous to them. Challenging the political duopoly is dangerous to them. Allowing any counter narrative to thrive puts the system at risk. I struggled for a couple minutes on how to end this; cause ending with a quote makes it feel like an eternal pause-- so I'm going to end it by telling you to get armed. Arm up, learn your tool, practice with it. The hard days are coming; and it's better to have and not need, than to need and not have.

    Who is Afraid of (Black) Nationalism?  - Hood Communist hoodcommunist.org

    > What they fear is that the revolutionary nationalist will engage in the same savagery that has marked the European’s “national conquest”. They fear a reverse “Manifest Destiny” or the brown-black version of the “White Man’s Burden”. Post this link the next time a settler starts getting buck around the concepts of self-determination. The only place I feel this article falls short is that it makes very little mention of our Indigenous comrades, who in many respects, have been dealt a much harsher hand in comparison to what we've gone through. Things that comrades here have given me pause on; with regard to concepts like the Black Belt Republic being a practical nonstarter given that's not even the settler's land, that was always someone else's. While I see _actual Panafricanism_ as a viable road for Black comrades, in Amerika at least, we can't forget that we're not the only ones wronged here; and any liberation we reach means nothing if it's not together with the other colonized subjects-of-empire on this landmass, is where I want to get off this soapbox.

    Stop Cop City goes to the people in petition push, opens federal lawsuit www.workers.org

    cross-posted from: https://lemmygrad.ml/post/941284 > >The city rules around gathering signatures are convoluted. The person signing must reside in Atlanta and have been eligible to vote in the November 2021 election. The person collecting the signatures has to be an Atlanta resident, and each signature must be witnessed by someone who has been registered to vote since Oct. 4, 2021. In some cases, this means that two canvassers are needed in order to collect each signature. > > > >On July 7, four anti-Cop City activists who live in DeKalb County — a majority Black, working-class county located a few miles away from the proposed site of the militarized police training facility — filed a federal lawsuit against the city of Atlanta and the state of Georgia. They charge that the Atlanta law is unconstitutional on First Amendment grounds, saying the law “endangers any effort to successfully petition local governments to amend or repeal laws by popular vote.” > > > >Those who will be most impacted by Cop City — including by the constant sound of gunfire, vehicle-driving exercises, a burn tower, urban warfare training and the environmental devastation Cop City will cause — not only cannot vote, but also can’t participate in making the referendum possible.

    Beyond Affirmative Action, Toward Black Unity | Black Agenda Report www.blackagendareport.com

    > While there are differences between affirmative action policies in higher education and business, in our economy and socio-political reality, incorporation into the neoliberal university more often than not sets Black and other racialized students down a path for incorporation into at least the lower rungs of participation, management, and/or investment within the machine of profit- and war-making that is the United States. This is doubly so when those students and graduates are saddled with massive amounts of debt in order to get that education – the debt itself is another conservative tactic to demobilize student movements. As opposed to previously, when Black/African people primarily considered ourselves separate (if at times, unfortunately, subservient) from “white America,” now every piece of patriotic “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” (DEI) propaganda tells us that we, too, can be part of the white supremacist, settler colonial project. _**Even the term “African-American” is a subtle tactic to suggest that we should see ourselves as part of this machine, this empire.**_ Emphasis mine; this is exactly why I prefer terms like Black and New Afrikan. (I'm even kind of souring a little bit on 'Black' if only because why define ourselves with what settlerdom sees as 'their opposite'? The aim should be to break that particular dyad to be able to define _ourselves,_ from where I sit.) > The sooner that we recognize that no political or entrepreneurial hero is coming to save us, the sooner we refuse to participate in the U.S.’s ongoing project of white supremacist capitalist domination, and the sooner we stop accepting bad checks from charlatans who use their identity or affected cultural cues to hide their crooked motives, then the sooner we can unify against this death-dealing machine of U.S. and European empire and exploitation. If we have urgency for anything, it should be for this. As this article lays out, this is hardly a defense of the bad check that affirmative action _was;_ but a call for unity in the face of the Empire even being willing to bold-facedly renege on that, too. The settler giveth, and the settler taketh away, on some Old Testament YVWH shit. _This should be where and when the lesson is learned._

    I'm betting in the next couple weeks, someone's gonna try this over the MOVE bombing too, and I'll still be in the same state of fuckin' facepalm. Just once, I'd like to see the settlers own up to the fuckery they committed with their whole chests, like "Yeah, we did that; and it was fuckin wrong"-- but I'm not holding my breath. This country will fall, balkanize, and fall again before the settlers admit any culpability.

    Black People, Guns, and the Troubling Reaction to Ja Morant | Black Agenda Report blackagendareport.com

    > While what [Morant] did is not illegal in the state of Tennessee, that is not the authority under which this penalty comes. The NBA Players Association collectively bargained to give the league a great deal of latitude to discipline players for conduct “unfavorable” to the league. This is a dog whistle clause that really means the conduct scared the hell out of the predominant white fan base. This Ja Morant incident should be a salient, timely reminder that the only reason that the NRA even formed in the first place was as a check to the Panthers. Keep arming up. Keep learning your tools. The settlers getting the HOA scared out of them is immaterial to our own liberation; and in this country, power grows out of only one thing.
