Today's bit of #solarpunk hope: What happens after corporate farmers and lazy local government destroy once-ferrtile plantation land? A new generation of farmers, some directly descendent from the #slaves who lived on the plantation, clean it up and make it thrive. #blackhistory #organic #farming https://bittersoutherner.com/feature/2024/black-earth-north-carolina-farmer
techbros, finbros, christofascists organized in California to keep #slavery legal. knowing democrats would to shit, they got to workout their blackbox voting magic to keep that 13th amendment loophole.
the goal?
the minute undocumented workers are thrown in jails, they will be #slaves.
almost all USA agricultural land is controlled by investment banks; if not as outright owners, then as holders of mortgage titles.
THEY WANT TO TURN FARMS INTO SLAVE PLANTATIONS

**The burial site of slaves owned by a former US president has finally been found**
Travis Loller
_"At least 26 enslaved people died on the Tennessee plantation of President Andrew Jackson, the seventh US president, between 1804 and the end of the Civil War in 1865._
_Nobody knew where they were buried. But on Wednesday, the Andrew Jackson Foundation announced a discovery: They believe they have found the slave cemetery at The Hermitage, the home of America's seventh president."_

Habt ihr mitbekommen, dass Russland jungen Frauen (um die 20 Jahre alt) aus dem globalen Süden Flüge spendiert, damit sie an der Hochschule #Alabuga (ca. 1000 km östlich von Moskau) studieren können?
Klingt zu gut um wahr zu sein, klar. Vor einem Monat berichtete die Nachrichtenagentur AP, dass die Frauen unter ständiger #Überwachung genötigt werden, militärische Kamikaze-#Dronen iranischer Bauart zu montieren, die massenhaft gegen die #Ukraine eingesetzt werden.
Vielleicht habe ich davon nicht erfahren, weil das nicht direkt mit D zu tun hat, dachte ich. Aber das stimmt nicht. Wie zuvor bekannt wurde, wird die russische Rüstungsfirma in Alabuga auch aus Deutschland beliefert. Allerdings nicht mit Sklavinnen, sondern mit #Epoxidharz. Das ist kein spezifisch militärisches Material, sondern #dualUse. Aber es gibt noch mehr Verbindungen nach D:
Wie bei Wikipedia zu lesen ist, handelt es sich bei der iranisch-russischen Drohne wahrscheinlich um einen Nachbau der israelischen #Harpy-Drohne, die wiederum auf der Drohne #DAR des deutschen Rüstungsunternehmens #Dornier aus Zeiten des kalten Kriegs basiert.
PS: In D ist Alabuga (so der tartarische Name) anscheinend besser unser seinem russischen Namen #Jelabuga bekannt.
No one is safe in #capitalism with #colonializers deciding who lives and who dies
The death machine only wants #slaves no matter what creed or level of melanin you have - you are not safe
You might have a greater illusion of safety and comfort
But as those in #Poverty and living with #disability get legally euthanized by starvation - you're next
As they exterminate BIPOCs - you're next
Time won't stop it from happening #Trump or #NotTrump doesn't matter
Your heart does

The slave markets of the Viking world: comparative perspectives on an ‘invisible archaeology’
“….this study explores the comparative archaeologies and histories of slave markets in order to examine the potential form and function of these sites, and how they might have operated as part of the wider, interconnected Viking world.”

#TIL the "value" of the slaves one of my relatives "owned" back in 1857 and now I'm sick to my stomach.
(I was looking over some of my family's ancestry docs. It's one thing to know your family tree includes slave owners, which I already did. It's quite another to discover some of the nuance of what that actually meant.)

Welcome to planet Earth. A random rock in the Universe where the most "intelligent" species only cares about trade. Trade this for that. So that the members of its species spend all of their life trading. That's all it is.
It is not about creating smarter and relaxed humans, and a nice environment for everyone. Not about exploring and learning, or enjoying. It is about trading.
Primitive species.

Great #Thread
I've come to understand that #Fascism is what I've been taught to call #Capitalism when it starts treating ytpipo like it's been treating black & brown people the whole time
Capitalism/profit demands #slaves
Left to itself it will eventually have them
