PLEASE CALL Chief Gary Batton - Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma 800-522-6170 Tell him that AMANDA MULANAX needs his help! To: Amanda Robinson Based on information published on the website for the Bureau of Indian Affairs you are the ICWA Director at the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma. Please let me know if this is not accurate. I want to inform you that the law is NOT being followed in Amanda Mulanax's DHS case. Amanda has had no contact with her children since October 2022. Oklahoma DHS removed Amanda's four children in October 2022 and there was NO JUST CAUSE for removal. The Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978 was recently upheld by the Supreme Court in June 2023. The Indian Child Welfare Act mentions that state agencies like Oklahoma DHS must make "active efforts" to keep Native American children with their families. And if removal becomes necessary, the agency must make "active efforts" to reunite Native American children with their families. Oklahoma DHS is NOT following the law in this way. Please review Amanda Mulanax's cases for ALL FOUR of her minor children: Amanda Mulanax wants her attorney to file a motion to invalidate the custody proceedings based on noncompliance with ICWA. I am concerned that Amanda's appointed attorney is intentionally withholding documents when requested and failing to file motions that would help reunify Amanda's family. Amanda is having trouble obtaining documentation regarding the removal of her children even though she requested the documents from a supervisor at DHS whose name is James Andrew Jarvis. Based on said supervisor's LinkedIn profile, the supervisor is on a "newly formed unit" at DHS "with the goal of adoption as the focus." The supervisor's goal to permanently dismantle families violates Federal Law when applied to Amanda Mulanax's case. Amanda Mulanax is a Native American woman and a member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma therefore, Amanda's children are protected by the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978 and ACTIVE EFFORTS must be made to reunite ALL of her children with her. No active efforts have been made to reunite this Indian family. In fact, efforts are being made by JAMES ANDREW JARVIS (supervisor at DHS) to terminate Amanda Mulanax's parental rights without just cause. Thank you for taking the time to consider this matter. Please forward this message to any and all people who can assist in rectifying this egregious violation of the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978. --Andrea Brooks --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/andrea9559/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/andrea9559/support

Tropane Alkaloids Atropine (dl-hyoscyamine) Hyoscyamine Scopolamine (d-hyoscine) Solanine Alkaloids are naturally occurring compounds that contain at least one nitrogen atom. The name alkaloid comes from the basic (high pH) nature of many members of the group, alkaline-like. Tropane alkaloids all have a tropane ring system but despite this structural similarity, the pharmacological effects of these compounds differ significantly. In addition to the alkaloids mentioned in this episode, cocaine is also an alkaloid that is widely used. Cocaine, Hyoscyamine, and Scopolamine are able to pass the blood-brain barrier and cause hallucinations and other psychoactive effects. Cocaine is extracted from Coca plants that are grown in South America. Hyoscyamine and Scopolamine are extracted from a few different Solanaceae plants including Duboisia plants that are grown on large plantations in Australia and Datura plants that are grown around the world. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/andrea9559/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/andrea9559/support

Ghost Pipe, Monotropa uniflora, is also known as Indian Pipe. It is an all white plant that can be found growing under leaves in the forest. The plant is all white because it doesn't use photosynthesis to grow. Instead, ghost pipe is a parasitic plant that steals nutrients from fungal mycorrhiza and the trees. The bell shaped flowers are beautiful!

This was obviously done intentionally. Systemic racism is super annoying but when you add the fact that Americans are pretty much forced to send our children to school to face this racism you realize just how cruel and ridiculous our racist system is. I am certain that I was treated terribly by Massachusetts Department of Children and Families because I was a young, Black single mom who had the audacity to homeschool my own children. Massachusetts Department of Children and Families preferred to see my children living with documented abusers than to allow me to peacefully homeschool them. But that was ten years ago. Fast forward to 2022. Now my son goes to a public school in Fitchburg, Massachusetts and he is being subjected to various forms of racism. After I recorded this episode I had the opportunity to address this matter with school officials. I was extremely annoyed at the initial response! Ultimately the matter was handled sort of appropriately but initially the person I spoke to attempted to defend the person in charge of the passwords. That was concerning, annoying, and infuriating! If you're in a position of power and someone comes to you with a complaint don't attempt to downplay the situation or defend something that is blatantly offensive. Just because you have known someone for decades and they have always been nice to you doesn't mean they aren't a terrible person. The thing that was most annoying was the fact that a white person was trying to defend another white person's racist behavior. There's nothing more annoying to me than a white person trying to prove that there's no racism because they never experienced or witnessed racism. Do I even need to explain why that is completely asinine? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/andrea9559/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/andrea9559/support
