#US citizens

[bonesashesglass]

I haven’t seen anyone talk about this, which makes me think it isn’t being reported, but right now the largest protest for Palestine in the history of the United States is taking place in Washington DC. Thousands turned up to show their solidarity for Palestine and to call for a ceasefire.

Look at this, they won’t be able to ignore us for much longer.

#Palestine #free palestine #save palestine #Gaza #free Gaza #save Gaza #stand with palestine #from the river to the sea palestine will be free #Israel #anti israeli terrorism #ceasefire #call for ceasefire #stop the genocide #anti censorship #United States #protest #Washington DC #freedom plaza #America #us citizens #Gaza strip #solidarity

Nothing disgust me more than seeing liberals lauding Biden’s domestic policy (except their bloodthirsty hatred for Palestinians suffering from genocide).

I work two jobs and I’m currently trying to find a third job to cover the recent $300 monthly rent increase to my apartment. I work days as a barista, but it’s been difficult to get enough hours even with taking extra shifts whenever I can due to scheduling cuts as part of the crackdown on union organizing by management.

At night, I works at a convenience store because the hours are reliable, and works six days a week, often 19 hours a day. I’m exhausted all the time. On the one day I have off a week, I donate plasma for extra money. I’m literally selling my blood to eat because I have no choice. Many places around me still only offer Nebraska minimum wage, which is $9 an hour and you can hardly even buy food with that amount. Over the past three years, I struggled with homelessness, and was previously fired from my job for sleeping in my car behind my place of employment.

My sister suffers from epilepsy and can’t work full-time hours because of it. Even with insurance, her medication is extremely expensive and I spends about half of a two-week paycheck to cover the health insurance premiums. After working 70-hour weeks, my mom left her full-time job due to burnout, but still works two jobs and limiting her work hours to no more than 55 hours a week.

All of my friends and family work multiple jobs as well, just trying to keep our heads above water. Nothing is affordable and the roadblocks set up to keep people in the cycle of poverty benefit the most wealthy members of our society. Everyone is in debt and it’s looking like we will never pay it off, ever. We aren’t living, we’re barely surviving and we have no choice but to keep doing it. It’s kind of like, how much of your soul are you willing to sell in order to be financially independent or to make sure that you can eat & pay your bills.

I can't even get a part time job to fully pay my part of rent out here. You go to school (college) to get a degree only to find out that connections matter more than ever and employers actually want more skills than degrees. It's crazier than it was 10 years ago and I'm supposed to vote for Biden again. I wish I hadn't fallen for the rhetoric before...

Beginning with a boom: Putting down roots in the Adirondacks

I excerpted this from the original post on the WordPress version of this blog, where this, and the previous post are in one document.

On April 18, 1838, John Mills stood before the Warren County Court of Common Pleas, a court which handled “matters of a civil nature.” The court would be abolished nine years later in 1847 when New York reorganized courts across the state, with some action beyond that date as “part of the restructuring process” to some degree. What he told the court was reprinted in his application for naturalization the same day, as recorded by the Warren County Clerk:

John Mills above named being duly sworn doth depose and say that he is of the age of thirty three years and he was born in the Parish of Ballyshehann and County of Tipperary in that part of the Kingdom of Great Britain called Ireland that he embarked at Waterford in the month of July as he believes in the year 1835 and arrived at the city of New York in the state of NY in the month of August and following he has since resided in the state of New York and County of Warren and still resides there. That he came to the United States for the purpose of residing therein and that it is bonafide his intention to become a citizen therein and that he makes his declaration for the said purpose and with such intent – that he hereby renounces from all allegiance to any foreign power potentate state or sovereignty whatever and particularly to the King of Great Britain of whom I am a subject.

This short paragraph told his whole journey to the United States, deriving a whole story! On the 70-71 km (43.5-44 míle) journey from Ballysheehan to Waterford, he likely would have either went by boat, as I suggested for Thomas, or he would have taken a carriage or horse rather than walking the distance as shown in figure 1.4. The rest of the journey, from Waterford to New York City, was a distance of 3,416 nautical miles (nm) or 3,931 miles if they went along the route on a map which is laid out in figure 1.5. All in all, this is a long way to come to be in the United States! From New York City, he may have taken another boat to Warren County, maybe even meeting his brother(s) or other family at the docks. Its hard to know, but one can imagine the circumstances.

Figure 1.4. The journey from Ballysheehan to Waterford by foot. Calculated with Google Maps (shown above)

Figure 1.5: The journey from Waterford to NYC by boat. Map and calculations via http://www.sea-seek.com/tools/tools.php.

The following year, in 1839, one Mills and one Bibby (or more) arrived in New York. Edward Mills arrived in Niagara, New York on June 1 or 2. He, like John Mills, lived in the town of Chester. Also that year, Robert Bibby arrived in the US, with the exact location of his arrival unknown. However, it is clear that he settled in Warren County, New York as well. As the family story goes, he married Margaret Ann Bibby in 1839. This is why the Bibby family matters. They would be the parents, in years to come, of Dora A. Mills, Robert Byron Mills (RBM I), and many others. As for the Bibbys there were a whole group of them that came over in 1839 and settled in Pottersville, NY, including a man named Elias Bibby with a wife named Eleanor and two children. They reportedly left Irelad because their home was burned down twice possibly because they were Protestants in a Catholic area.

By 1840, the Millses and Bibbys were more firmly planting their roots in Warren County. The same year that Robert Bibby gave a naturalization declaration and listing his age, the 1840 census revealed another record listing John Mills. Living in Chester, Warren Co. John Mills and Edward Mills were listed as neighbors. Sadly, this was the census in which only the head of household was listed. But within household of “John R Mills” as he was called in the census was one man aged 30-40, and one female aged 15-29. Undoubtedly this other woman was his wife Margaret, but these tick marks seem to indicate that they did NOT have children yet. If the 1845 New York State Census still existed, it might have listed their children, but sadly it did not.

One year later, in 1841, John Mills again went to the court so he could apply for his citizenship. He was supported by a man named Archibald Darby living in Glens Falls, Queensbury. Also that year, a man named Benjamin Bibby was living, seemingly, in Essex County, New York, town of Minerva, with a wife and child. Also that year, another Bibby immigrated, reportedly, on a ship named the SS Fairfield with his grandfather, Thomas Bibby and grandmother Ann Lyndop. He would live in New York until 1875, with his wife, named Margaret Johanna Shaw, dying six years prior, also in Essex County, New York. The Bibbys would settle in the Adirondack Mountains in horrible farm land in Chester which had a large settlement of Irish and harsh winters. Some would move to Ontario, Canada in later years, staying as farmers sometimes with large amounts of land, while others would go to Chester in Orange County or to Orleans County.

⚠️SMALL RANT BELOW⚠️

I’m so tired of Americans being constantly picked on by the rest of the world (on social media specifically). I assure everyone that does make fun of us that we KNOW we have major problems in our country. WE KNOW. Most of us don’t like them but other then voting, petitioning etc… their isn’t much we can really do to change anything. We shouldn’t be able to go into any comment section of a post of an American in a not so pleasant light and almost immediately see sh*t talking by foreigners. Call me sensitive but like god ya’ll. And I obviously know and don’t think we’re the “bESt CoUnTrY” in the world.

I’m not exactly a “proud” American but I do hold a relatively small amount of care/love for my country. F**K our government though. The peeps running it I mean.

Context: Israel “allowed” aid in the forms of flour bags to be airdropped into Gaza, waited for hundreds to congregate, and then opened fire into the crowd of desperate, starving Palestinians. 150 Palestinians were killed. Hundreds more wounded. This is being called “The Flourbag Massacre”.

[reasonsforhope]

"Palestinian plaintiffs and their legal representatives on Friday [January 26, 2024] presented a powerful case in federal court accusing President Joe Biden and other top US officials of complicity in Israel's genocide in Gaza.

People around the world tuned in for the long-awaited hearing in Oakland, with plaintiffs appearing in person and over Zoom in an unprecedented effort to hold the Biden administration accountable for its actions in Gaza.

The Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) filed the lawsuit in November 2023 on behalf of Defense for Children International–Palestine, Al-Haq, and eight Palestinians in the US and Palestine. The complaint accuses President Joe Biden, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin of failing to live up to their legal responsibilities under the 1948 Genocide Convention and the 1988 Genocide Convention Implementation Act.

The United Nations convention classifies complicity in genocide, or the intentional destruction of a people in whole or in part, as a crime under international law and requires that states take measures to prevent such atrocities.

[Note: This is a big reason why politicians almost never call it a genocide, btw. Because if a country recognizes that it's a genocide, then they actually are legally required to do a bunch of things to stop it, under international law.]

The historic lawsuit contends that the Biden administration has failed to uphold its obligations by continuing to provide diplomatic and military support for Israel's brutal campaign in Gaza. Plaintiffs are asking the court to stop Biden from sending more weapons and munitions to Israel that are being used to kill Palestinians en masse.

The hearing before the US District Court for the Northern District of California took place just hours after the International Court of Justice issued provisional measures against Israel in a landmark case brought by South Africa.

-via TAG24, January 26, 2024. Article continues below.

Court contends with questions of jurisdiction and responsibility

In evaluating the allegations, questioning in Friday's hearing revolved around the so-called political question doctrine, by which federal courts regularly refrain from ruling on political matters seen as best resolved by the president and Congress.

The Department of Justice argued that according to the doctrine, the court has no jurisdiction to rule in the case.

"If the court condemns United States foreign policy toward Israel, it could cause international embarrassment and undermine foreign policy decisions in the sensitive context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict," defense counsel Jean Lin told Senior District Judge Jeffrey S. White.

Katherine Gallagher of the CCR countered that the court does, indeed, have a responsibility to step in: "Here, the question is a legal one, whether the actions undertaken by the United States failed to uphold the obligation to prevent genocide, and that is an active obligation that requires that the United States not provide the means by which a genocide is being furthered."

"There is no discretion for any state to evade its obligations, its legal obligations. These are not policy decisions," she said.

Palestinian plaintiffs share powerful testimonies before the court

After legal arguments in the case, Judge White heard two hours of gut-wrenching testimony from Palestinian plaintiffs and a renowned Holocaust and genocide expert.

Rubin Presidential Chair of Jewish History at Wake Forest University Dr. Barry Trachtenberg shared his remarks before the court in spite of vehement US government opposition.

"To have an event fall under the 1948 Convention on Genocide requires both action and intent, and here we see that very, very clearly in a way that seems really quite unique in history," he stated, noting that there is now an opportunity to stop Israel's unfolding genocide in real time to prevent further loss of lives...

Judge White said he would take the testimonies to heart as he evaluates his constitutional responsibilities, describing the case as "the most difficult judicial decision" he has ever had to make."

Note: I know a lot of people are really not gonna appreciate that last line. I'm not thrilled with it either. But it is worth noting that having a federal court overrule the US president's huge foreign policy and military decisions would be an absolutely massive deal/precedent

This is a case that deserves to be ruled on with an incredible amount of seriousness, if only because if you're a federal judge who's going to make that call, your written decision/legal justification needs to be unimpeachable

That said, if the judge uses jurisdiction to pass the buck here and avoid his legal and human responsibility to do what he can to stop a genocide, I'm gonna be pissed

40% Americans Eligible for EU Citizenship

Americans are seeking EU citizenship in greater numbers than ever before, Bloomberg revealed on Wednesday, citing government statistics and independent citizenship consultancies. According to citizenship firm Arton Capital, four times as many Americans are seeking second citizenships in 2022 than in 2020 – a number that doesn’t include those applying for third or fourth country passports.

I don't know if such a word already exists or not, but there needs to be a term to describe how inhabitants of the imperial core will treat about those outside of it as sub-human. Like even those who consider themselves "progressive" will frequently talk about people in the third world in terms that disregard their agency, emotional complexity or the very value of their lives

#i.e. people who defend US soldiers as just trying to escape from poverty while showing no regard for the people they murder #or blaming poverty in “shithole nations” on the innate deficiencies of their citizens rather than imperialist exploitation #although Liberals are less likely to say that second example out loud even as they heavily imply it

Dc x Dp Prompt #3

Immortal Ghost King Au:

Daniel Fenton was crowned as High King Phantom of the Infinite Realms on his 16th birthday. He knew many were opposed to him being crowned at such a young age (he was too), but the Realms had gone too long without a ruler and it was getting restless.

The Realms were sentient to some extent. It can not run itself as it has no form but it chooses a host, a King if you will, to fulfill its wishes. It may have lived on an entire millennia without a ruler, but it was only out of sheer luck and the contributions of countless gods that it had survived. The Infinite Realms needed a King and Danny Phantom was the only contender.

So the people were ignored and their boy king was crowned. However Phantom was young and naive, a child as both a human and a ghost. Even worse, he knew nothing about being a king. But the little godling would learn and learn he did.

Most kings were taught before they were coronated, but Danny had no such privilege. His coronation came and left with the wind. His private lessons overshadowed any thoughts he had left of mortal schooling. And Danny gave up on living a normal human life.

That last part was perhaps the easiest for Danny. Amity Park was already considered too liminal for them to have any “sentience”. The GIW had all but declared war on the Realms with their continuous violent actions upon his people and the land itself.

It wasn’t difficult for Amity to give up their “rights” and “humanity” either. They said good riddance to the world that never helped them, to the heroes that ignored their cries for help. And they bowed to Phantom, declaring him their King, just as he declared them citizens of the Infinite Realms.

He welcomed his liminals with open arms, vowing to protect them from any harm that would come their way, just as he would with any of his other citizens. He gave them a home in the Realms, an island- no a haunt of their own should they wish to truly reject the land of the living, and they accepted. Not many wanted to try their luck against the human government.

But with a God, no, their King on their side, they knew their safety and happiness was all but assured. After all, it was Phantom who protected them even as they turned their own backs at him. It was Phantom who fought against foes that could have erased him from existence.

And of course it was Phantom who would now receive any and all support he could ever want and need should he declare war against the humans of Earth. No, there was no need for people of the Infinite Realms to worry. High King Phantom was a God after all. It was only ever his right to exact divine punishment onto those who opposed and threatened his will. It was not their fault if the humans actively went against his will. No, the humans had no one but themselves to blame for whatever came for them.

#dc x dp #dp x dc #dc x dp prompt #dp x dc prompt #the infinite realms is home to more than just ghosts #like demons and other things too #it uses the king as its host to ensure its people’s survival and in turn makes the king a god #pariah dark went against the realms will #so he was sealed away and not killed because you can not kill an already dead god #the people of the realms were skeptical of having such a young king #but Danny’s a quick learner and turned out to be really good #amity park vs GIW wouldn’t be the first war he’s led #Danny gave himself a god complex bc people respect him more that way #it’s a mask he only uses outside of the realms #he’s acts normally when he’s with citizens of the realms #can a god even have a god complex?? #amity park moved to the infinite realms after the GIW tried killing them all #JL and JLD are struggling trying to find a way to negotiate a peace agreement #but amity park feels abandoned and spiteful so they refuse #lucky for the JL that it’s Phantom who’s in charge #or maybe that’s the reason they’re not so lucky #amity found out Danny was a god and ran with it #this might be a good way to like make this into an arranged marriage au with a person of your choice #make Danny as old or as young as you want #Danny will do what he needs to make sure his people are safe and happy

pet names

[ID: Black and white comic of Vash and Wolfwood from Trigun Maximum. Vash overhears a conversation from a nearby table at the restaurant they're seated at, the unnamed character saying, "Honey, can you pass me that?" Their partner says, "Sure thing, angel." The unnamed character begins again, "Say, did you hear the news from earlier?" In response, "Haven't got the chance. Tell me about it?" Vash smiles fondly, listening in as the conversation continues, "You'd never guess, babe! The runner--" Abruptly, the conversation is cut in by a "Needle nogging", Vash's expression changing instantly and no longer smiling. The panel cuts to Wolfwood who smiles lop-sidedly, pointing at Vash's plate and says, "If you're not going to eat that. I'll take it." Vash grabs the plate and holds it away and says, "Mine" while Wolfwood clicks his tongue. He pauses for a moment before asking slowly, "Hey, is there any reason you don't use cute names with me?" Wolfwood lifts a cup of water up to his lips, looking confused. He says, "I do though." Vash cuts in, "Spikey and needle nogging aren't cute!"

Vash continues with a shy expression, "Since we're together now..." he trails off and Wolfwood picks up, taking a sip of water as he says thoughtfully, "Together, huh..." Vash pauses in his sentence with a look of confusion before reaffirming, "We are together, right?" Wolfwood nods, "Right." Vash says, "Right", before continuing, his shy expression returning, "Then you can use stuff like... honey or-" Wolfwood cuts in this time and says casually, "You're not a honey though." A panel cuts of Vash's expression changing again, shocked. He asks, "Huh? Then who is?" Wolfwood says immediately, "Milly." Vash exclaims, "Milly?!" Wolfwood continues, "She's sweet, just like honey." A bubble pops up of Milly smiling as Wolfwood speaks. Vash continues, "Okay, true... What about sweetpea?" Wolfwood responds, "Kids. Kids are sweetpea. And pumpkin too." Vash continues, "Okay... What about baby?" Wolfwood says without hesitation, "Meryl." Vash exclaims again, "Meryl?!" Wolfwood explains," Noisy, like a baby." Vash mutters, "Hey, that's a bit mean..."

Vash continues persistently, "Then what about babe?" Wolfwood shrugs with a grin, "You are not a babe." Vash looks at him, slightly frustrated before exclaiming with flushed cheeks, "Then what am I?!" Wolfwood points at his hair and smiles softly, "I told you. You're the one and only needle nogging." A panel closes in on Vash's widen eyes, cheeks still red, pausing before he ultimately resigns, planting his face into the palms of his hands and muttering, "I give up..." At the same time, Wolfwood sneaks and grabs the plate of food that Vash left unattended, saying in response, "You get up cuaght up about the dumbest things, y'know that?"

The comic then picks up again to a jump in time, after they've left the restaurant. Wolfwood muses to Vash, "You said all that about the names earlier, but I don't hear ya using them for me." Vash looks to him excitably and asks, "Did you want me to?" Wolfwood looks at him with an uncertain expression, "Not really, but I guess I am curious..." Vash beams, "Then let's try some, okay... dear?" He fingerguns Wolfwood with a grin, little hearts surrounding him. Wolfwood just looks at him neutrally and says, "Okay," while thinking to himself, "Cute..." Vash exclaims, "So unenthusiastic!"

The next comic picks up at a different time, but on the same theme of pet names. Vash hugs Wolfwood and says to him, "Thank you, my love." A panel close up of Vash steadily opening his eyes before he sees Wolfwood's reaction up close, his eyes glancing away, cheeks flushed, and the smoke out of his cig forming soft hearts as he mutters, "Sure..." In a smaller, cartoonish style, Vash has a comedically exaggerated expression of shock and widened eyes as he grips Wolfwood by the shoulders while Wolfwood still wears a shy expression. He then nudges his head to the side of Wolfwood's with a close eyed happy smile, hugging him close and says, "So, there WAS one you liked!" Wolfwood, still looking away, but now with an irritated and embarrassed expression, grumbles, "Shut up..."

The final image is a short sequence. Wolfwood is working on something, spacing out as he does, while Vash from off screen calls for him, starting with "Babeeee? Babe? Beautiful? Honey? My love?" All of which gets no reaction from Wolfwood. Vash pauses for a moment before piping up again, "wolfwood?" Wolfwood turns around, finally noticing that Vash was calling for him and asks, "What?" A box at the bottom of the page says, "Unresponsive to anything other than his names." END ID]
