Farmland must be redistributed as land grants to Black Americans (comparable to the 160+ acres received by homesteading white Americans, and which would be secured via eminent domain, if necessary) until at least 15% of arable land in the United States is Black-owned.
Today, just a handful of white families own more rural land than all Black Americans combined. Indeed, despite making up close to 13% of the population, Black Americans own less than 1% of the land in the United States.9 There have been, throughout American history, several government policies that assisted white Americans in obtaining land. The Homestead Act of 1862, for example, provided millions of acres for white American ownership; this included white men, white women, and European immigrants. However, Black Americans were excluded from this massive land grant initiative and subsequent land grant initiatives like the Timber Culture Act of 1873, the Kincaid Amendment of 1904, the Enlarged Homestead Act of 1909, and the Stock-Raising Homestead Act of 1916. The redistribution of land outlined above will ensure the full inclusion of Black Americans in agriculture, and finally right the intentional, historic imbalance of government subsidies meant to promote agricultural output.
Because lineage is so critical to the multigenerational plundering of Black farming in America, the ADOS Advocacy Foundation has developed the ADOS Matrix™ to be used as a rubric by legislators who will be writing policy with an eye toward proper historical redress. The ADOS Matrix™ must be utilized when prioritizing the provision of land grants for new Black farmers.

Basashi is the term for horse sashimi. The overwhelming majority of sashimi is fish.
ANOTHER SHIPMENT 💔🐴 At 4:05 AM, another export flight of horses left the Winnipeg airport & is now en route to Japan for slaughter. With the windchill, it was -30°C, yet horses were left in crates on the tarmac for hours. Canada must END this now! #CdnPoli

My battery is low and it's getting dark." These haunting words, sent from 225 million miles across the void, became the poignant farewell of NASA's Opportunity rover—affectionately known as Oppy—before it fell silent forever. Launched in 2003 and landing on Mars on January 25, 2004, Opportunity was designed for a modest 90-day (90-sol) mission to search for signs of ancient water. Instead, this plucky little solar-powered explorer defied every expectation, outlasting its warranty by a staggering factor of 55, roaming the Red Planet for nearly 15 Earth years (5,498 days / 5,352 sols). It traversed over 45 kilometers (28 miles), survived brutal dust storms, climbed crater rims, and delivered groundbreaking discoveries: definitive evidence of past liquid water, minerals formed in water, and hints that parts of ancient Mars could have supported microbial life.But in June 2018, a massive planet-encircling dust storm engulfed Mars, blocking sunlight for months and starving Oppy's solar ...
