This feels so fucking horrible

I don't know how long these places have been collecting ancestral remains. Would guess the hoards have been built up over decades

More dead and neglected on sad backrooms shelves than currently alive

They don't deserve this treatment
Are there MMIW in there...?
These institutions have not made available for return the remains of at least 17,400 Native Americans that were taken from counties known to be of interest to the Shawnee Tribe. These are estimates calculated using remains not made available for return from counties that the tribe has previously been eligible to claim remains from, as well as counties that the tribe has indicated interest in to the federal government. They are not comprehensive figures. The tribe may not wish to claim the remains, and other tribes may also seek to claim them.

I hate the ads, I hate feeling like I have to hide from another entire month. I can't take this type of anger. It stays in my head so much longer.

It wasn't as terrible when I could cook for my dad, good day for dark jokes

He's dead as fuck tho, and my sibling doesn't care about being Shawnee

Do I think the unemployed should go like, literally, physically block evictions?

Yes

Making sure everyone's okay and has what they need could be what people do for work here instead of wal mart ammerzon landlord and computer

Nonviolent resistance does not mean roll over. Anything physical can be taken, including housing and more.

Support systems must be built up and protected.

The US is extremely bad about ignoring people who fall outside the expected norm.

The way comfortable people talk about the "working class" is not in line with reality, it's another one of those disgusting euphemisms used whenever full honesty would be too icky

The poor need to be acknowledged.

I don't have a degree, apparently most of the population doesn't either? But it feels like every job demands one. It crushes all hope.

It is easier for people with degrees to survive here, even with student debt.

Degrees in the current system are a class check.

Imagine how fucking nice it would be to
- have work
- that pays enough
- and isn't total bullshit

I want that. People like to work when the work is useful and fair.

I want food stability.

This one is fun, and it's not 500 pages long. Quick, easy read. I love the sass.

This is from when the New Deal was being implemented. They knew partial solutions weren't actually enough.

That ending. Imagine someone considering your happiness today.

The relief authorities here undoubtedly are fcusy. They are so busy throwing out life-belts, it seems to me, that they have no time to summon the rescue ships. There is every disposition to keep the sinking ship afloat but nothing much, seemingly is being done about getting him to shore. Throughout Fayette, a county which never has concerned itself very much about the under dog, one encounters the view that the said under dog is just flotsam by nature. Of course, he should have work for which he is fitted —that means grubbing coal underground — but he should not be counted in on any fanciful re-habilitation scheme predicated upon self-help. He simply will not fit in— he's a miner by nature and nothing but mining at good pay will satisfy him. That's the thesis so far as the mine is concerned and few consider any other type as a real problem. And, as for him, well not much can be done. You can't do anything with the mountaineer, either; I tell you, this thing of lifting up the lowly can't be done. Not so darned high. Talk about self-help; well you just don't know these people -- you don't know the class of people we have here... All you can do with 'em is give 'em work if you've got it or food if you haven't. And pretty soon they'll want food without work; they do already, many of them. This is verbatim from a man who has hired and "known" labor hereabouts for thirty-five years. I should have enjoyed taking this man with me to Belle Vernon. It will be seen that life in Fayette County depends almost soley [sic] upon coal mining. There is some agriculture but the condition of this has been noted. As I said in my last letter less than 50 out of more than 150 coal and coke plants are operating. It is admitted that a large proportion of those shut down never will reopen; many of those now operating have only a few years coal ahead of them. Coal is "going back" on the County; what was once a rich empire is almost ready to be dumped by its rulers; it has been bled white both above and below the ground. Populations have been left stranded not only without work but without prospects of ever being reemployed in coal mining. What are they to do? Are they to remain indefinitely on direct relief. Will they have to move into other communities for possible absorption into other industries? Are they to be placed on homestead projects? What is going to happen to them? Every thoughtful person in Fayette is asking this question and all discussion concerning relief ends at this point. When I ask people for their impressions of the effect of relief they all take the short view. Perhaps the truth is that, so far as present relief is concerned, no other view can be taken -- perhaps, so far as the long range results are concerned, relief is having very little effect at all. It is helping the children. Mal- nutrition, which always has been the bane of child life on these depressing patches where for forty years bare existence has been so pitiably depressing is being reduced for the children are getting more milk from relief than they ever did from the best pay envelopes. That is something but it is not enough for the future of these youngsters under the present circumstances is hardly brighter than that of the parents. sylvania. One hears that miners can do nothing but mine coal. I used to think so myself but down here in W. Virginia I find people who believe the contrary. The West Virginia miner, I am told, is doing things which prove his adaptability. May not these coal diggers a few miles north have "hidden resources," too, in mind and spirit? Would it not be well to take stock of the Pennsylvania miner? He can't do it himself. He sees no way out -- wants no way out other than work in the same old mine at living pay. But he's not going to get it in Fayette County. He'll float along if you keep him supplied with life belts without ever dreaming of getting to shore. But I suspect that once on stable ground he might find himself and for the first time be happy. Very truly yours, HENRY W. FRANCIS

From 1984. It is dated, biased, and long as hell but I am SO psyched for this one.

I assume they're using voter registration information and a randomizer to pick potential candidates. This isn't good enough.

Approaching random people weeks before the filing deadline offering "support" for them to run as Democrats FEELS LIKE BRIBERY.
