“Some of our people call this Thankstaking Day. There’s no give-and-take. There’s no reciprocity... if this country ever could face its own misdeeds, take responsibility for its bad history here or all over the world now, that’s the first step...“

I came here to mock this but quite frankly, it's true.

It's not without reason that 'Native Americans' (an unpopular term among Indians/First Nations/New World indigenes because how can you be native to something that didn't exist until your land was taken from you?) call it Thankstaking.

The most annoying and traumatizing time of year to be an Indigenous person in the US has arrived. The time between when we recognize residential school victims, through thankstaking is an annual gauntlet of anti-Indigeneity, even among leftists.

This year will be worse, a lot of *you* have been.

These 2 speeches, which, as Nick points out, on the same day, precede what Gill has pled guilty to by 4 years, are more damning for Farage as they also precede Brexit.

All European secret services would have been alarmed by this & would/should have been investigating.

seems like a non-insignificant percentage of rage against the machine's fanbase are young republican men driving SUVs bopping their head to anti-oil, pro-immigrant songs thinking the lyrics are about how they wish their suburban parents would get off their back

Tom Morello tweets: "Fascinating that all those “don’t tread on me” posers and their AR-15’s are nowhere to be seen and government tyranny is instead being opposed by a guy in an inflatable frog suit."

Someone named Manny replies: "@grok
why do some people say Tom Morello and band mates are RAGE FOR THE MACHINE and not against ?"
