If you think it’s alarming or authoritarian for a U.S. President to propose taking over lands that belong to other peoples how do you think our country came to exist?

So instructive to climb in the time machine and go back to the OG department of education - in 1867 - it lasted a year before critics argued it was doing to much to help former slaves and canceled it. www.history.com/news/departm...

Block & report. X has several “native American” “love” “history” bullshit overseas accounts that Indigenous people have been trying to get removed as fake for years. They’re moving here. They post crap like the these images, sexualizing women, use AI, steal content, fish for likes, etc.

The new SoS had a dick-measuring contest with Trump. Musk—who secretly talks to Putin—has an illegal job. It’s Day 7
