  • Nearly all your major appliances in your home have a filter that needs replaced or cleaned on a regular basis (fridge, HVAC system, dishwasher, dryer, etc.). Doing so and doing a quick clean of the appliance will improve its efficiency, life span, and most importantly save you on your electric bill.

    Not sure where the filter is or what maintenance to do? A quick Google search of “how to clean fridge filter” or “where is the air filter for my heat pump” should start to give you an idea of what needs done.



  • That fateful day in July 2009. Parents were hit by a guy who was fucked up by a shopping list of drugs. Mom dead, the family that was quickly fell apart. She was no longer around to help hide my father’s alcoholism. Not even 6 months after her death, a foul harpy of a female human latched on to him and only encouraged the worst parts of him while slowly doing everything she could to remove or erase his family.

    Wrong parent died that day.



  • He’s perhaps most known locally for founding the nonprofit Common Ground in the wake of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Common Ground and its health clinic served a half a million Katrina survivors in its first year. In 2019, Rahim received a Living Legend award from the Southern University of New Orleans honoring his work. In a box near his couch sits a framed Lifetime President’s Volunteer Service Award, recently received from President Biden.

    For years, Rahim had suspected—but never been able to prove—that the FBI had targeted him. Now, government documents showed that he was correct.

    Documents obtained last year by The Nation show that in August 2006, a year after Katrina, the New Orleans Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF), a federal-police amalgamation led by the FBI, began conducting a “threat assessment” of Malik Rahim and Common Ground for “possible nefarious Domestic Terrorism or Anarchist activities.”

    The JTTF’s report claimed that Common Ground was distributing “propaganda” and “anti-government posters.” Under a section titled “Intelligence Gaps,” the JTTF posed several questions, like: “Is Common Ground planning any terrorist attacks against Louisiana government facilities?,” and, “What anarchist groups and gangs, besides the New Black Panther party, is the Common Ground Collective recruiting from?” It ends with a request for the JTTF to conduct an investigation into Common Ground.

    Perfect example of the inherent racism built into the US system; one of the former Black Panthers they interviewed is the definition of a good samaritan that stepped up for his community in ways the government didn’t, yet they had the audacity to try and claim he was helping people to recruit new Black Panther members?! Yet actual American terrorists on Jan 7, 2021 have been treated with kid gloves in comparison since they were mostly white.
