Big howdy to homesteaders, small farm-to-table farmers, local grocers, grass-fed producers, and folks who care about rural people, who are damn scarce around this bsky machine.

Really worth reading the full essay.

Graeber argues that capitalism didn’t replace slavery -- it rebranded it. A key mistake of the mode-of-production model was reducing “production” to making things instead of also producing people and social relations that constitute social reproduction.
Modern capitalism has more in common with Feudalism and the oldstyle slave-system than most people realize.

From: davidgraeber.org/articles/tur...
"In the case of slave mode of production, 
the exploiters directly own the primary 
producers; in feudalism, both have complex 
relations to the land, but the lords use direct 
jural-political means to extract a surplus; in 
capitalism, the exploiters own the means of 
production and the primary producers are 
thus reduced to selling their labor power. 
The state, in each case, is essentially an 
apparatus of coercion that backs up these 
property rights by force."

Y aparte Chile no caye en pedazos. Joven, realista, y socialista como era mi ex jefe en Chile.
Y desde la izquierda, señala Boric. . .
Drumph y Maduro,
Dos arbolitos que parecen gemelos.
Gabriel Boric sobre la dictadura de Maduro "Es importante decir desde la izquierda que no podemos perder de vista que los desvíos autoritarios pueden estar a la orden del día en cualquier lado, y que la defensa de la democracia tiene que ser sin dobles estándares"

El swap no es deuda, que el tesoro de EEUU compre pesos y venda sus dolares no es deuda, RENEGOCIAR los vencimientos con el fmi no es deuda. La República Argentina está siendo gobernada desde el Tesoro de EE UU. Bessent Decide y anuncia?? Sigan pelotudeando HDRMP
I know. It hurts my heart.
One thing to know: a LOT of BLM people (who are all not working and many will be fired rn) love & care for these caballos and work hard to find them good homes. And others work to KEEP them on the range, too.

No one Mill’s age should be running for office.
Janet Mills has announced a run for U.S. Senate. If elected, she would be 85 at the end of her first time.

If you care about democracy, generational renewal, and leadership that actually serves working people—You should want new leadership in Graham Platner.

A "nation" built on and maintained by imperialism can never be virtuous or peaceful. (Yes, I know that means the US too.)

Gentle cabrones: Join me in conversation with the legendary D.J. Waldie at Alta Baja Market Oct. 25 at 1pm! We'll be talking about his career and especially his new book, "Elements of Los Angeles: Earth, Water, Air, Fire." Lecture, FREE; books, BARATO. GO GO GO and BUY BUY BUY!
You’d think they’d draw the line at troops from one state to attack citizens in another, or Orange Stain raking in billions , or the illegal tariffs. But they go for extending a plan that enriches the insurance companies while saving folks some dough on their shitty coverage. Read the fucking room.

Not intro level, but these ideas belong in anthro 101.
Unless you teach where deans are terrified of, em, fachos.

Blakey is known for NYC’s African Burial Ground work, problematizing/erasing the idea that slavery was rare in Northern states.

Abstract from Michael Blakey’s “Understanding Racism in Physical (biological) anthropology.
Abstract
The mainstream of American physical anthropology began as racist and eugenical science that defended slavery, restricted “non-Nordic” immigration, and justified Jim Crow segregation. After World War II, the field became more anti-racial than anti-racist. It has continued as a study of natural influences on human variation and thus continues to evade the social histories of inequitable biological variation. Also reflecting its occupancy of white space, biological anthropology continues to deny its own racist history and marginalizes the contributions of Blacks. Critical disciplinary history and a shift toward bio-cultural studies might begin an anti-racist human biology.
So much to lose: like Gavin.

I'm aiming for more than potatoes next year. Apricots and beans and chili for starters! If the bears don't get the 'cots!
Pre-urban humans hunted, even Chinese buddhist teachers (see the 6th ancestor, a hunter pre-and post-enlightenment). Humans eat meat, from time to time, but smart humans know the process, respect animals, and are grateful. Me: almost off grid. Urbanism isn’t always horrid, just not my vibe.
I find is interesting that our animal cousins sometimes get more attention than our human cousins. Meatpacking workers need to be in this conversation. Ever worked in a factory of industrial death, a meat plant? I have. The human suffering is pretty evident. Keep them in mind.
