As one commenter puts it, this is state sanctioned rape and murder. It's unconscionable. This is torture and terrorism.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

This is what I've been saying. This is everywhere in Indian Country. Canadians suddenly think they're tough and ready for this fight - we're the descendants of the people you couldn't kill - we're tougher. After all, this is our Holy Land. Like in 1812, there is NO saving Canada without us.

“The Maryland National Guard must decline events which celebrates individuals based all or in part on immutable characteristics,” the memo said. Douglass was an abolitionist, suffragist, orator and author. That’s what we celebrate him. Let’s be clear: This bars celebrating him because he was Black.

Words that were also in NYTs today, “Trump seems determined to expand those borders by swallowing up foreign territory, including a Middle East enclave in desperate need of nation-building…”. Written like Gaza is a “Brooklyn brownstone with a great layout in need of light, love and a modern twist…”.

I wrote a short story imagining what would happen if one of Canada’s all too common Native conflicts took place during the Trump era: rjago.substack.com/p/unceded Canada’s strategy to fight Trump includes resource extraction and excludes Indigenous people. Nb: 150+ FNs have no treaty & unceded land.

Hi all, We’re still here at OPM. We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building. Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.
