13th amendment

    Slam the Gavel welcomes Tanawah M. Downing to the podcast. Tanawah is a Chief Legal Strategist and Civil Rights Advocate. Being aware of people suffering and in need of help, Tanawah, after going through a divorce himself, recognized the need for laws to change. It has been eight years since he as seen or spoken to his children.
   We talked about the deprivation of rights under the color of law of parents.  The 13th Amendment explains very much what is wrong with the law in that the terms "slavery" and "prisoner" is synonymous with each other.  Parents are deprived of their rights every day by not only CPS but Judges as well.
     The We Shall Be Free Tour will begin once the case is docketed. However, the clerk of court at the U.S. Supreme Court is refusing to docket. This is obstruction of justice and a crime. The people in the U.S. need to hear the truth and understand that these are rights that are guaranteed and the moment you take a right from one, you take it from all and no longer a freedom. But only an illusion of freedom.
     Tanawah explained how this will be handled. When people are silent, they give their consent. People must speak up and speak out. When government is silent that is an indication of guilt. Once the clerk steps aside, this will be handed to the justices, the tour will be started. There will be press conferences  and rallies in every state Capitol and the tour will circle the whole country. This is the opportunity for people to tell their story.  People need to speak out on the egregious acts that were done to them and this gives them the opportunity to be heard.

EPISODE 128: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN

A-Block (1:43) SPECIAL COMMENT: Before he begins tonight's State of the Union Address, President Biden should pull his aviators out of his pocket and slap them on, reach under the lectern and pull out a shredded Chinese balloon and drape it in front of himself, and reach under again and produce an AIM-9X Sidewinder Missile and rest it on his shoulder.

It's ridiculous hyperbole of course. But how much MORE ridiculous than Bush's Flight Suit and Mission Accomplished speech? Democrats have no clue how stupid half the country (or more) really is, and how easily that half can be manipulated by stunts, theater, shiny objects, crotch bulges in flight suits, braggadocio, nonsense, outright lies, and other tactics Republicans mastered decades ago.

How stupid are they? When Karine Jean-Pierre reminded reporters they'd been given "Tick Tocks" (journalistic jargon for minute-by-minute timelines), The Daily Caller and Fox News both jumped to the asinine conclusion that the secrets of the nation were being distributed on TIK-TOK. This is how dumb they are, and they are not getting less so.

Bring a Sidewinder with you, Mr. President.

B-Block (18:50) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: Did a Federal Judge just notice a flaw in the SCOTUS overturn of Roe-V-Wade that might reinstate it? Samuel Alito's Mom's Abortion Clinic? And Flaco seems about to check back in to his old home. (21:48) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Elon Musk, joke plagiarist, fake news spreader, safety disaster; Confirmation that NewsMax wanted to raise its price to DirecTV from $0 to $13,000,000. And the Bill Maher numbers are in and - guess what - he did not make the slightest difference in CNN's implosion.

C-Block (28:34) EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY: Pandora, in Philadelphia (29:47) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: It's basically the anniversary of the day the geniuses at MSNBC would've lost Maddow to CNN because Larry King offered her $250 and unbeknownst to me we weren't paying her anything.

We're releasing this episode one day early in commemoration of Juneteenth. But what is Juneteenth?  You would be surprised at how many Americans (Black and White alike) don't know the history behind this recently legislated national holiday. celebrating freedom from slavery.  Listen to learn all about it.

Joe Madison, Congresswoman Nikema Williams and historian Douglas Blackmon educate listeners and demand an end to the exception in the Constitution that still permits slavery in the United States.

Frederick Douglass began his Statesman years by moving from Rochester, New York to "A" Street on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. after the Civil War in 1872.  Kenneth Morris, his great, great, great grandson talks about  the Douglass home on Cedar Hill in Anacostia where America's famous abolitionist lived with his family until his death.  The home is now under the National Park Service umbrella open to visit.  Douglass' son, Charles built a home for his father in Highland Beach near Annapolis, Maryland.  While his father never could enjoy the view looking across the Chesapeake Bay to Talbot County where he was born, the home can be visited by appointment.

Ken Morris descends from two great lines of African Americans: Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington.  Through an organization begun by his mother, Nettie Washington Douglass, he endeavors to continue his families' legacies for bringing justice and education to all.  That organization is the Frederick Douglass Family Initiatives.  

Episode Notes

PLEASE listen to Part 1, which is S1:E7 which also has really great content! Part 2 is a continuation and includes great citations…here are some links...(and sign up for our mailing list for future updates):

• Michelle talks with Christina Shimizu one of the co-founders of community centric fundraising
• Chrissy work includes Seattle-based organizations like the Wing Luke Museum, Asian Pacific Americans for Civic Empowerment Votes, Chinatown International District Coalition, and she's been working with the Decriminalize Seattle Movement, the Afro-Socialist Defund Seattle Police Campaign. And she's now housed at Puget Sound Sage. 

References: 

• As we talk about inspiration, Chrissy mentions her own influences and specifically names The Revolution Will Not Be Funded, Justice Funders, the now closed Grassroots Institute for Fundraising Training, Social Justice Fund, Mijo Lee, Simone and her partner Dae Shik Kim Jr (Sr. Producer @vice/@vicenews on Twitter at @daeshikjr) 
  
   
• She states that the modality we exist within is white-dominant, colonial and neoliberal (we define neoliberalism in Part 1) 
  
   
• We dove right into Andrew Carnegie and his essay The Gospel of Wealth
  Since you are reading the show notes I’ll pull out the quote she uses:

"But whether the law be benign or not, we must say of it, as we say of the change in the conditions of men to which we have referred: It is here; we cannot evade it; no substitutes for it have been found; and while the law may be sometimes hard for the individual, it is best for the race because it insures the survival of the fittest in every department. We accept and welcome therefore, as conditions to which we must accommodate ourselves, great inequality of environment, the concentration of business, industrial and commercial in the hands of a few, and the law of competition between these as being not only beneficial, but essential for the future progress of the race."

Okay and here is the old school definition for philanthropy in the same context:

"It is a law, as certain as any of the others named, that men possessed of this peculiar talent for affair, under the free play of economic forces, must, of necessity, soon be in receipt of more revenue than can be judiciously expended upon themselves; and this law is as beneficial for the race as the others."

• She talks about the rise in power of organized labor and mutual aid networks (1870s/1880s) and cites the Haymarket bombing (also called “affair” or “riot”)during the fight for the 10 hour workday
  
   
• Fair Labor Standards Act of (she was right) 1938
  
   
• Berkeley students help us wrap our monkey brains around the concept of a Billion
  
   
• Consider: Philanthropy and nonprofits as: a political system, an economic system, a culturally informed system.
  
   
• We discuss Amazon’s policy to penalize workers if they don’t work fast enough, and connect it to TER’s recent episode feat. Teddy Schleifer and how MacKenzie Scott (was Bezos) can’t give money away fast enough because of her investments (in Amazon and these extractive practices for ex) 
  
   
• Donor Advised Funds. One day I’ll write an article about it but we discuss it here and in S2:E6 with Teddy Schleifer. Very important to learn about if you dunno…
  
   
• Heather Infantry, and the TER episode Disrupting Your Community Foundation was named. She’s a badass and we are so appreciative of her work!
  
   
• "We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable, but then so did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art. Very often in our art, the art of words." - Ursula LeGuin
  
   
• Consider: Within our work, who are we investing in? “...when we dig into the actual complexities our communities, our networks will fall apart unless we trust and have genuine relationships with each other outside of work. So, are we investing in that?”
  
   
• Things get heavy here, as we talk about the murder of Seattle resident Charleena Lyles, who was murdered, while pregnant, with three of her children home, by police. What is not covered in reports is the relationship to the nonprofit housing she was living in.

Steve Luxenburg tells accounts of Frederick Douglass in his book, "Separate: The Story of Plessy versus Ferguson."  He begins with the dawn of railroads in the United States (1830s) and explains how conductors would try to bypass railroad stops so as not to encounter black abolitionists to be seated with whites in railroad cars, Frederick Douglass among them.  In another instance, Douglass  was on a steamship on the Ohio River  traveling with fellow  abolitionist speaker, Charles Redmond.  Kentuckians asked them to leave their dining car after they had been invited to give a talk by Henry Clay, the Statesman.

Join me for a chat with author, poet, activist and ex-inmate Chandra Bozelko about all things prison. Our inside views of the prison-industrial complex gave us both a lot of insight into criminal "corrections." And as inmate-workers who both wiggled our way up the short ladder of prison labor, we had lots to talk about. 

We also discussed the way power works in prison, the nature of change in a system designed to prevent it, and the double-edged sword of attempting to reform prison labor. 

In this episode we discuss the laws put in place after slavery was abolished in America, which in many cases were just slavery by another name. These laws were created specifically for disenfranchisement and exclusion, and they formed the foundation of the the system and laws we have today.
