Today, for Black History Month, we honor the memory of Mary Fields (c. 1832–12/5/1914), also known as Stagecoach Mary, an American mail carrier who was the first Black woman to be employed as a star route postwoman in the United States. She was born into slavery. After emancipation, she worked as a chambermaid on a steamship, and as a household servant. In 1895, at the age of sixty, she got a job as a Star Route Carrier, which used a stagecoach to deliver mail in the harsh weather and rocky terrain of Montana. She carried multiple firearms, most notably a .38 Smith & Wesson under her apron to protect herself and the mail from wolves, thieves and bandits. She never missed a day, and her reliability earned her the nickname "Stagecoach Mary." When the snow was too deep for horses, she delivered the mail on snowshoes, carrying the sacks on her shoulders.

The Telegraph, UK: Revealed: Trump’s confidential plan to put Ukraine in a stranglehold — telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/

It appears the so-called #Peace initiative by the #USA is reported leaked by the Telegraph, and is an attempt to subjugate #Ukraine as a #colony, with usurious, destructive levees on the country which would put it into servitude in perpetuity. Modern #slavery of an entire nation of #serfdom

Patriotism is A Fetish

Are you patriotic? What does being patriotic mean to you? Over 400 years ago, European savages invaded the continent, then called Turtle Island, by its indigenous inhabitants, and nearly wiped them out with disease and war.  As the savages spread like a disease throughout Turtle Island in their invasion, they raped and scalped the heads of women, bashed in the heads of babies with rocks and murdered the men, using their skin and bones as trinkets and trophies. The indigenous who survived, […]
