# Indigenous
The precarious position of treaty-less tribes: What a five-year fight over a few dozen clams shows about the inconsistent rights of Indigenous tribes. At the core of the dispute is a key distinction between the haves and have-nots. In this case, between Indigenous nations that have a treaty with the US government, like the Quinault, and those that do not, like the Cowlitz. Those treaties, often signed more than a century ago, dictate the rights of tribal members to this day. The Cowlitz people, said tribal elder Robin Torner during his testimony in the Simmonses’ trial, have been harvesting and eating razor clams from along Copalis Beach long before the United States existed.

Florida’s ban has no exceptions for rape or incest, and violators of the law could face up to five years in prison.

The Titans of Plastic: Pennsylvania becomes the newest sacrifice zone for America’s plastic addiction. In the months that followed, the construction project would require remediating a brownfield, rerouting a highway, and constructing an office building, a laboratory, a fracked-gas power plant, and a rail system for more than 3,000 freight cars. The purpose of Shell’s massive complex wasn’t simply to refine gas. It was to make plastic. Shell ranks in the top 10 among the 90 companies that are responsible for two-thirds of historic greenhouse gas emissions. Its Potter Township cracker plant is expected to emit up to 2.25 million tons of climate-warming gases annually, equivalent to approximately 430,000 extra cars on the road.

Governor voids territorial orders targeting Native Americans: New Mexico’s governor has voided four pre-statehood proclamations that targeted Native Americans during what was a tumultuous time across the western frontier. About two dozen advocates for Native American communities gather in downtown Santa Fe, N.M., Monday, Oct. 10, 2022, when most government offices were closed in commemoration of Indigenous Peoples’ Day, a state holiday. Protesters left paint splashed across a monument to 19th century trapper-turned-soldier Kit Carson, outside a federal courthouse. Carson is revered and reviled as a pivotal figure in the settlement of the American West and deadly military campaigns against Native Americans including the Navajo. Demonstrators chanted, “This is Native land,” and “1680,” in reference to the year of the Pueblo Indian Revolt that drove Spanish settlers out of the region for a dozen years. Signs and banners also called for justice concerning missing and murdered Indigenous women

The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck is among the top 100 books banned
in America. The reason is in one of many passages. This is from chapter 25:

“There is a crime here that goes beyond denunciation. There is a sorrow
here that weeping cannot symbolize. There is a failure here that topples all
our successes. The fertile Earth, the straight tree rows, the sturdy trunks,
and the ripe fruit. And the children dying of hunger must die because
a profit cannot be taken from an orange. And coroners must fill in the
certificates – died of malnutrition – because the food must rot (if not sold
at a profit)…. and in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath.
In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy,
growing heavy for the vintage.”

Pandemic Struggles Still Afflict Social Security, a Last Lifeline for Many: The long queues have raised tempers and safety concerns. One person fainted in line outside the office in Laredo, Tex. Others in Florida slept outside overnight to secure a spot for the next morning. Social Security’s remedy is to push customers to get help by phone or online, but fast service using those options, for many, is proving just as elusive.

‘Great resignation’? ‘Quiet quitting’? If you’re surprised by America’s anti-work movement, maybe you need to watch more movies: “It’s real hard to be free,” Jack Nicholson’s character in “Easy Rider” says, “when you are bought and sold in the marketplace.” Many workers today can relate: Stressful work environments, unfulfilling roles and the inability of paychecks to keep up with the rising cost of living have spurred some of them to reevaluate their relationship with their employers.

In 2018, Krystal Two Bulls received notice that she was being sued for criminal conspiracy. Two Bulls, who is Oglala Lakota and North Cheyenne, has been organizing for environmental justice for much of her life. She was raised on the North Cheyenne Indian Reservation of Lame Deer, Montana, part of a community that had resisted coal developments for nearly 40 years. In 2016, she helped defeat Arch Coal’s plans to build a massive strip mining operation on the reservation’s border. The project would’ve been one of the largest coal mines in the United States.

The Attack on the Pipeline and the Resurrection of the Morgenthau Plan as the Long Arm of Jewish Vengeance: Historically, the attack fit into the pattern of Anglo-American foreign policy. In spite of the fact the mainstream media were united in blaming Russia, only the Americans had the motive and the means. The evidence was circumstantial but irrefutable. Biden said in no uncertain terms that if Russia invaded the Ukraine, America would take out the Nordstream pipelines.

Why The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn Became A Banned Book: ‘The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn’ was banned because of its racist terminology

The Real Reason Of Mice And Men Became A Banned Book: There is an issue with language that was deemed profane. This profanity included racism, sexual content, and the characterization of mentally disabled people. However, when writing about two men — one of whom, Lennie, is mentally disabled — taking menial jobs across the United States during The Great Depression in the hopes of eventually achieving the American dream, the language conveyed the reality of the situation and portrayed the characters honestly.

Biden says the US doesn’t want a new Cold War, but there are some reasons it might: The Cold War provided the US with strategic and defensive advantages; “We do not seek a Cold War,” declared President Joe Biden in front of world leaders gathered at the United Nations on Sept. 21, 2022. He continued that America was not asking “any nation to choose between the United States or any other partner.” But that’s likely not how everyone views the prospect of a new Cold War.
