URGENT Call For Mutual Aid - HOUSE zaagaasige NOW

A friend of mine is in urgent need of housing. She is the coolest person I know. such a huge inspiration, guide, and well of knowledge for me, and life for her has been difficult and more than anything I want to see that remedied. I deeply admire them and would love to see them be able to acquire safe housing once and for all. Please please please consider donating. If you can't donate please reblog and share the link.

https://gofund.me/01f5aaef

GoFundMe description:

Artist, activist, land-defender and water-protector needs stable housing immediately! Salvation Army shelters have proved to be unsafe for Trans and Indigenous folks, and tenting in Thunder Bay is not a survivable option.

Among her notable actions, zaagaasige had stood strong for the water and land on Wet'suwet'en territory. They faced police brutality while fighting against the expansion of the TMX project.

They're an acclaimed artist in what can be described as an anarcho-woodland style. They're a de-colonizing philosopher, educator and pundit. They are a parent needing to reconnect with family. They're a hilarious, outspoken sh!t disturber in the best ways. They are heartbroken, wounded, and they need care.

Earlier last spring, promises of housing and work lured her out west. Those promises never materialized, and she began living rough in the downtown east side of Vancouver. Her experiences on the DTES left zaagaasige traumatized, and forced her to return to Thunder Bay. She needs assistance regaining her ID, finding safe, permanent housing, peace of mind, medicines, paint and canvas, clothing, and a hundred other material and clerical things you and I take for granted every day.

zaagaasige can make a decent living creating, but they first must receive help building a solid foundation after losing almost everything. This is an easily attainable goal, and she deserves so much more for her work.

Help Us Bounce Back: Indigenous Family Seeking Support

//She:kon and Hello Friends, Comrades, and Kin//

My name is John Hill (most people call me Jo). I'm an Indigenous poet and artist. I'm starting this GoFundMe for my family who I live with. In January, I started a new position at my work which saw a reduction of hours per week by 1/3. In February my mother, following an extended sick leave, was informed that at the end of March she would lose her job. We are currently asking for financial help in order to sustain our needs while navigating this difficult time.

As a family we also face some challenges with our home. There are areas which need renovations, including the kitchen, second bathroom, and roof. Recently our oven stopped working and although we are able to get by with other appliances and our stovetop, we would like to eventually get a replacement oven.

Our current funding goals are as such:

$2000.00 - Home Bills and Utilities (1 Month) $1500.00 - Home Renovations (Roof, Kitchen, Supplies + Labour) $1500.00 - Oven Replacement (Price + Taxes + Delivery)

The amounts provided are guidelines for our goals. Any money recieved past our goal of $5000 will go towards food, cleaning supplies, and other regular or emergent expenses.

End blood quantum now

Blood quantum is how much native blood you have in you and it needs to be a certain threshold to qualify you as a tribal member. Blood quantum varies from tribe to tribe.

It means my mom is a tribal member but because my dad is outside of my tribe... I don't have enough tribal blood to enroll. Neither does my daughter. Our "official" indigeneity ended with me.

My dad is still native tho. Just southern native. Others have two parents enrolled in separate tribes and can't enroll in either one despite being Full native because their parents were mixed with other tribes so they don't have enough blood of Any tribe to qualify.

And to what end are they doing this?

Under the treaties the US govt can lay no claim to native land. So how do they fix that? Get rid of the natives, of course.

And since they can't slaughter us in broad daylight anymore they did the next best thing. What the colonial government has ALWAYS done to us and other poc.

Made up a bunch of arbitrary laws to restrain and limit our power and numbers.

And this can't continue. We are the only race who needs to apply to be part of the community we were born into. The only race who needs to prove our blood.

And that's the thing: it's not even based on blood. Racist scientists defined who was a full-blooded native based on things like shoe size, head circumference, and skin pigment.

Not blood. And besides that it wasn't uncommon for outsiders to become part of a tribe!! You didn't need to be native by blood to be native! Blood quantum has made it IMPOSSIBLE for them to qualify and made it impossible for tribes to practice that long time aspect of our culture.

So please share this post. So many people legitimately think natives are extinct and even less are aware that we do more than just sit around drinking all day. Few people have good feelings about us and within that there are a few who actively help. Please be one of those few.

We need support and allies and for our voices to be heard. Please don't let this post just be me screaming into a void. We need people to know what blood quantum is, how archaic and harmful it is, and to help us spread awareness to people who otherwise would ignore us. Use your privilege.

Help needed!!

Hey so I've been kind of stuck in a hole. My regular banking account has 12 dollars in it, and I need to pay this off in my credit card.

I've been looking for employment but have had little luck so far. Most of this is built up over a few months of having to buy food pretty much every day in order to not starve, with a couple of other purchases thrown in.

Literally anything helps, even reblogs.

Only got pay-pal, sorry

If you can believe it, it's once again time for Jo to walk around with the hat (that I cannot wear because I got that BIG HEAD).

Last time, I managed to recieve enough to afford an air purifier. Thank you so much for that. This time, I'm in the negative of my chequing account. I get paid on Friday (11/10) but I need a little bit to soften the blow of a grocery order that has to be made soon.

My bank thankfully doesn't really penalize me for overdraft but this is a stress I do not need, lmao. Anyway, help me out if you can: paypal.me/flourishcaster

This is Red Scare propaganda in 2023.

Did you know that a few days ago Democrats and Republicans voted to join sides against socialism and "socialist policies"(good welfare programs)?

According to Axios:

More than half of House Democrats sided with Republicans on Thursday in voting for a GOP resolution denouncing socialism. [...]

• The resolution denounces “socialism in all its forms” and opposes “the implementation of socialist policies in the United States of America.”

• A total of 106 Democrats voted for the resolution, while 86 voted against it and another 14 voted "present. "

What they're saying:

• “This [was] very much about politics and political messaging, and you saw that with some of the people voting present,” said Rep. Annie Kuster (D-N.H.), the chair of the centrist New Democrat Coalition, which supported the resolution.

• Kuster said leadership was attentive to swing-district members' needs: "It was very much open-door conversations this week ... just conversations about where our members were coming from and how they felt about this. They had strong feelings about this."

What we're hearing:

• House Republican campaign operatives are already sharpening their knives against Democrats who voted against the resolution.

• "It’s certainly a potent hit we’re excited about," Jack Pandol, a spokesperson for the National Republican Congressional Committee, told Axios. "If you can’t vote to denounce the horrors of socialism, yes, we will be letting your constituents know about it."

The other side:

Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), the chair of the Progressive Caucus, told Axios that her faction recommended its members vote against the resolution and she advised colleagues “however you vote on this bill, they’re going to use it against you, so it doesn’t really matter.”

• Jayapal also argued the bill's sweeping rebuke of socialism conflates historical despots with modern entitlement programs and Nordic social democracies: "They're trying to tie those successful [welfare] programs ... to [former ruler of Cambodia] Pol Pot."

So Democrats and Republicans can unite over what's important to them: Capitalism.

More than half of Democrats in office right now would side with Republicans against your well being. Over half of them.

What we're witnessing is an abuse of power that Only serves to keep Democrats and Republicans as power players in politics.

Coincidentally this comes after a historic rise in union membership, calls for higher wages, protests, and it's also right before presidential candidates have started campaigning!

They didn't sign a resolution like this over Trump supporters literally attacking capitol hill. They haven't made Any reform or agreement that could stop another Trump from winning an election again either. They literally expose people to right-wing candidates on purpose just to help themselves win elections.

But this? Good welfare programs and left-wing ideas being spread before an election? That was a priority. That needed to be stopped. That's dangerous.

Let me ask y'all something: if you feel comfortable showing regular people a bunch of far-right ideas on primetime tv but you wouldn't show them any left-wing ideas at all... Wouldn't that make you right-wing? At the very least you've chosen a side, haven't you?

Democrats don't want to challenge the status quo. Apparently that's the ONE thing they can agree on with Republicans about. That's it's staying here and not going anywhere. That's what this tells me.

If you caught yourself thinking I'll vote for a democrat,at least they won't make things worse please consider that keeping things awful on purpose absolutely counts as making things worse. And also being comfortable with far-right ideology but not far-left ideology means Democrats are closer to being fascists than fighting fascism.

This year spend some time researching candidates that are listed as independent, green party, socialists, or communists. The only people worth entertaining are people who actually care and actually want to change things for the better.
