PLEASE, I’M NEEDING SOME HELP!!!

07/01/2021: hey guys. tried my best to not come back here and ask for help again, but it’s being absolutely impossible. I’ve reached my limit, need to pay my rent in three days and don’t have enough food in my fridge to spend the week. I’m trying to keep my faith, but it’s being so hard… Things in Brazil are the worse now, everything costs so much more than the usual, and it’s being a nightmare live around here. plus, staying alone all the time. It’s being sad stay alone this much, and i know it’s for the best, but I’m tired, and everything seems to be crumble into pieces once again. I have bills, rent, food to pay/buy and no money.

I know it’s a nightmare for everyone, but if you can help me in anyway, please donate to my PayPal: [email protected], choosing “payment for products”. Anything will help.

You can help me reblogging this post too.

Thank you all, stay safe.

Much love. ♥️

[gadreelsamm]

UPDATE (15.02.2021): still couldn’t pay my rent, my light bill is late almost 15 days, this month it’s being a freaking nightmare. Please, guys, you can help me spreading this post if you can’t donate. But if you can spare $5, will make a huge difference for me. Thank you all for the support. Sending love.

[gadreelsamm]

UPDATE (03.03.2021): i have 7 days to pay two months of rent. Couldn’t pay last month, so I’ll have to pay two plus the late fee. I am desperate and have no idea how I’m going to do that. So PLEASE, if you can help me, any cent will make a huge difference at this point. I had help to pay the light bill, but for my rent… I’m sleepless, in cramps, headaches, having anxiety crisis almost everyday… Brazil it’s a nightmare. Everything is costing so much that i almost don’t have food in my fridge. I’m screaming for help. PLEASE.

You can help me reblogging this post too. Is super important. Thank you all.

“Police will not investigate due to lack of public interest”

What the actual FUCK

[doechiis]

If you’re looking to complain to the Portland Police Bureau, there are a few ways to voice your concerns to them.

First, Portland’s Independent Police Review, which is the city’s official site for reviewing commendations and complaints for PPB officers. They are known for being inept (testimony from former employee), but flooding the office with forms calling for justice for Gulley’s family is verifiable evidence of public interest in an investigation. They have a form you can fill out here:

Independent Police Review

It’s worth mentioning that the IPR doesn’t report directly to the PPB but instead to the City Auditor, Mary Hull Caballero, who we can pressure to prioritize reports on Tete Gulley. Their contact information is below. (their website)

Phone: [phone]

Email: [email protected]

Here is also a link to the city’s audit services, where you can comment on how the city can use their bloated police budget to solve public murders like this one:

The PPB does report to their mayor, Mayor Ted Wheeler, whose contact information is also below:

And lastly this page has the contact information of many higher ups in the Portland Police Bureau, including the Chief of Police Chuck Lovell:

Bite podcast – “White People Own 98 Percent of Rural Land. Young Farmers Are Asking for It Back.”

(excerpt from interview with Leah Penniman, author of Farming While Black)

[Today, 98 percent of rural land in the United States is owned by white people. Black families own just 1 percent. But that’s despite the fact that our agriculture has deep roots in African traditions]

Leah Penniman: My favorite topic is talking about African agrarianism and that legacy… A story that I love to tell is of our ancestral grandmothers who, when faced with the very likely possibility of being snatched up, kidnapped, and forced into trans-Atlantic slave ships, gathered up the seed that their families had been saving for generations—their okra, cowpea, garden egg, millet, sorghum, black rice—and they braided that seed into their hair, believing against all odds in a future on soil, and believing that their descendants would need to inherit that precious seed.

And it wasn’t just, of course, the physical seed that was brought over with our ancestors, it was also the techniques, technologies, cultural ways of being on the land, much of which informed early agriculture in the United States. So, for example, when we think about a lot of the practices that we cherish as organic and regenerative farmers, like raised beds—that came from the Obambo people of Namibia. Our strategies for composting can be traced back to Cleopatra in Egypt, as well as the work of Ghanaian women farmers creating African dark earth, which is a super rich, char-based compost that holds an inordinate amount of carbon. You know, things like rotational grazing, we can trace back to Guinea, and so forth.

And so there’s many technologies that came with us, and in fact, contrary to some miseducation, thinking that white folks went and got people because they had strong muscles or something, it was really for specific agricultural expertise, like the rice farmers of the Carolinas came from the Senegambia area, where they were rice experts. And of course, folks from the UK and northern Europe don’t have any rice farming experience, and so they went and stole people who had that experience to establish the multi-trillion-dollar rice industry.

[One thing that I find really interesting about the conversation is that a lot of the techniques that we’re talking about completely fell out of fashion in the North American agriculture for decades and decades, and now we’re rediscovering them, and it’s like… white people discovered organic agriculture because they were having a crisis with industrial agriculture, but these ideas actually have this really strong history.]

Penniman: Absolutely. I mean, Indigenous peoples all around the world have practiced, and continue to practice, a regenerative smallholder agriculture, and it’s one of the great tragedies that those technologies were ignored for many generations and now are appropriated and misconstrued in terms of their origins, and certainly no remittances are being paid to the Indigenous people around the world who came up with what we now call permaculture and so forth.

But I think it’s important to also recognize that there was an unbroken legacy in the Black community of practicing these techniques. So it wasn’t just that people got to the US and then forgot about it. If you look at the late-1800s when Tuskegee University was formed in Alabama, one of the pioneer agriculturalists there is Dr. George Washington Carver, and he’s considered by many scholars the father of regenerative and organic, because he was teaching folks how to do leguminous cover cropping, deep mulching, composting, rotations, silvopasture even—he had people grazing their pigs under the oak trees to use the acorns to finish the meat.

And so he had a whole couple generations of farmers doing this regenerative work before Rodale even came on the scene. And there are many other examples like this. And so in some ways I think we’re in the business right now of reconciling parallel histories and making sure that our narrative includes all farmers.

b99 is more culpable, actually

[pasdecoeur]

all cop shows are propoganda, but most cop shows are made for 18-49 white men who’re scared of face masks

[pasdecoeur]

b99′s target demographic, however, is young, queer and racially diverse. b99′s target demo is all the people who’re the most vulnerable to police brutality. b99′s target demo is all the folks who absolutely should never be lead to believe the way to view the cops is the way you view jake fuckin peralta.

[pasdecoeur]

[astrangeenchantedboy]

b99 had a bisexual Latina cop laugh and say she suggests police brutality, later showing interest and excitement over the exact sound weapon we’re now seeing used in retaliation to protests (side note: when i saw that episode, i thought that weapon was made up because it seemed so sci-fi villain-ish).

they have their whole host of cop characters, including the straight-laced official types, regularly treat their job like a game.

yes they had an episode about racial profiling. but what was that episode telling us? that at the end of the day, there are good cops within the system actively fighting corruption and winning. i recently saw someone in exact words say “b99 taught me that not all cops are bad.” that’s copaganda. even if you believe in your heart that some cops are good, they are still people with weapons designed to kill whose job centers on apprehending anyone they deem a trouble-maker, and they are. not. your. friends.

b99 wants you to believe that diversity within the system creates fair treatment, right? that a gay Black captain and a crew of racially and sexually diverse cops are the Good Guys.

in real life, the Seattle chief of police is a Black woman who is AT BEST allowing the people in her command to terrorize their city, and at worst actively commanding it. the tear-gassing in seattle? the little girl who got pepper-sprayed? that happened under the leadership and command of a Black woman. because cops are cops first. the job itself demands that they abandon their communities and their humanity. we joke about being [x thing] first and human second a lot, right? well, cops really are.

b99 talked about the prison industry, right? they talked about guard brutality, retaliation, in-prison violence, right? but think about the fact that within that plotline, the cops were the only characters who we were told didn’t belong there. how cinnamon roll jake peralta, a Good Cop Who Didn’t Belong in Prison, was interacting exclusively with people like a gang leader and an unrepentant cannibal.

b99 is deeply insidious cop propaganda. and i’ve watched it and i’ve enjoyed it! and i don’t believe the creators set out to make copaganda. i think they were trying to do a lighthearted riff on your standard procedural, and they cast a diverse group of actors, and they tried to write socially conscious scripts, and they slowly snowballed their way into copaganda while we were all distracted by andy samberg getting hotter.

i’m not at all saying don’t watch cop shows, if that’s your thing, i guess. hell, i’ve enjoyed more than one of them in my life. but please think critically about their messaging and choose to reject what does not align with your values. think critically about your values, and what influences them. and for the love of god, stop responding to people’s angry, grieving cries over Black people being systematically murdered by cops by defending your favorite fictional cop. real people are dead.

Black lives matter more than fake cops. that’s all.

[odddior-deactivated20200814]

i know there’s a lot going on but ICE are now one step closer to literally creating gas chambers. they are spraying a chemical called HDQ neutral roughly 100 times a day, every 15 minutes at the adelanto detention center (one of the biggest in the country). people are getting rashes, headaches, their insides are bleeding, etc. the guards are wearing gloves and masks but the detainees have NOTHING. and here’s a quick reminder - america inspired the nazis to create gas chambers when they gassed latino people during the 1917 bath riots. 

here’s a petition to sign. it’s close to it’s goal. if there’s anything else we can do to help i’ll update this post.

[your-url-is-problematic]

I don’t have the words to properly explain how horrifying this is. In April, the advocacy group Freedom For Immigrants published a report about unsanitary conditions at the detention center, where the immigrants were made to clean the facilities with only water, or shampoo. According to their report, there were sick detainees there - possibly with COVID-19, but it’s unclear since they weren’t being tested - and the conditions could easily lead to a situation in which the virus exploded among those there.

The guards are spraying this disinfectant in retaliation for the report. To be clear - HDQ is an industrial-strength disinfectant, which according to the manufacturer is “harmful if inhaled” and “causes severe skin burns and serious eye damage.” The guards are spraying it on everything every 15-30 minutes, according to sources, and immigrants in the center have already experienced severe symptoms including blisters, rashes, bleeding, fainting, breathing difficulties, headaches, stomach pain, and nausea.

And let’s be real - ICE doesn’t give a shit, either about protecting these people or about preventing a COVID outbreak. ICE, according to their own reports, currently has 25,911 people in custody, of which only 2,670 have been tested. 1,392 of those were positive. In simple terms - less than 10% of detainees have been tested. Of those, more than half are positive. We cannot estimate how many sick people ICE is currently holding, or how many more will get sick without any kind of prevention or care.

ICE is killing people through neglect, and when they dared complain - they started gassing them.

Unfortunately, with Trump in the white house, petitions aren’t doing much. What we can do, however, is donate to the advocacy group that is bringing these things to light, allowing them to continue their work and hopefully free more immigrants. Their donation page is here. Please spread this.

[whale-eggs]

The chemical they are spraying, HDQ, is manufactured by Spartan Chemical.

Spartan Chemical also holds responsibility for allowing this to happen. They should not get to have a shiny, clean brand image.

Spartan’s phone number is [phone]. They have a facebook page here, where you can leave them a review saying what you think of them supplying ICE.

They also have a contact us page on their website.

They follow/repost stuff from the hashtag #spartanchemical on Facebook and Instagram.

Please contact them through one of these means and ask them to denounce this abuse and stop supplying ICE (or stop supplying the distributor who is then selling to ICE). Post publicly on their facebook and in their hashtags so that their brandname is tied to these atrocities.

[theauspolchronicles]

Can you inform us about what you know about Indigenous children still being taken away from their parents?

Nationally, Indigenous children are removed from their families and placed into out-of-home care at 10 times the rate of non-Indigenous children. 

It is going up.

Now the Stolen Generation was the forced removal of mostly mixed-race Indigenous children in an effort to assimilate the children into white culture and “breed out the colour” in a horrific multi-generational atrocity that lasted from approximately 1905 to 1967, though in some areas continued on into the 70s. So SEVERAL decades. It was blatant white supremacy in action.

What we’re currently seeing now is the removal of children by child protective services. Professor Rhonda Marriot, pro vice chancellor of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leadership at Murdoch University says that Aboriginal parents aren’t granted “the same amount of consideration and leniency” by child protection workers. Many of the mothers of removed children were raised in out-of-home care themselves and so don’t have the stable family background to rely on.

This is an inter-generational effect of the Stolen Generation. Children taken during the Stolen Generation tend to have low education, higher rates of depression, and other mental health issues, have been torn away from their culture and traditions, and lack the foundation of a health family situation so never learned parenting skills leading to generations of children raised in state care.

The Stolen Generation policies were a wrecking ball that deeply hurt Indigenous cultures all over Australia, cut off generational links between families, and interrupted the continuation of their oral traditions and heritage. Of course it’d have a long lasting effect on how Indigenous families. This is one of the many issues we as a nation must continue to focus on healing and it’s a shame that it took until 2008 for Kevin Rudd to issue a national apology (John Howard and his Liberal colleagues ignored calls for the apology by the way).

One of the ways people are working on this is a range of targeted Indigenous community programs. This unfortunately is something that will take a lot of effort to try and break the cycle that was enforced by decades of racism by the government. So find whatever program is in your local area that aims on building up Indigenous communities and support them.
