They’re trying to kick me off the CA governor ballot over a phone number on my tax return.
I had 10 minutes to correct it, or be disqualified.
I’m 8 points off the lead. They’re terrified of a Black Muslim anti‑Zionist who will divest from war and pass CalCare.
Call Shirley Weber. (916) 657-2166. Tell her: LET BUTCH ON THE BALLOT.

Haiti and Benin have jointly submitted a nomination to UNESCO for the inscription of “Living arts and social practices of Vodou in Benin and Haiti” on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. This multinational file highlights Vodou as a vibrant, living tradition that spans West Africa and the Caribbean, highlighting deep historical and cultural connections forged through the transatlantic slave trade.
The nomination aims to move beyond common stereotypes and misconceptions about Vodou in popular media. Instead, it presents the practice as a comprehensive system of cultural expression, social cohesion, knowledge transmission, and community resilience. It encompasses music, dance, rituals, visual arts (including vèvè symbols and sequin work), oral traditions, and contemporary adaptations that continue to evolve while maintaining core spiritual and social functions.
Vodou (also spelled Vodun or Voodoo depending on regional context) originates in the ancient kingdoms of the Gulf of Benin region, particularly historical Dahomey (present-day Benin), where it was historically tied to royal and communal life, with deities linked to natural elements such as water, earth, air, and fire. Enslaved Africans transported these beliefs and practices to the Caribbean, where they adapted and syncretized with local and Catholic influences in Haiti, forming what is known as Haitian Vodou.
Haitian cultural authorities, including the Bureau National d’Ethnologie (BNE), coordinated the preparation of the dossier in close collaboration with Beninese counterparts. The process was notably inclusive, involving direct participation from Vodou practitioners, community leaders, and cultural experts from both countries.
The submission is currently under review by UNESCO’s evaluation body. A final decision on inscription is anticipated during the 2027 cycle of the Intergovernmental Committee. Successful inscription would add to Haiti’s growing list of UNESCO-recognized intangible heritage elements, which already includes Joumou soup, cassava bread practices, and, most recently, Compas music in 2025.

If you don't heal from what capitalism, imperialism & white supremacy have inscribed on your insides, you're guaranteed to reproduce them.
The real struggle is not out there.
The real struggle is in here. 🔥
