Many of the people whose ancestors lived in the U.S. thousands of years before Europeans are carrying tribal identification for protection against the Trump administration’s anti-immigration agenda.

The cruelty is the point, of course.
Maher Tarabishi was detained in October during a scheduled check-in at an ICE facility.
He was the primary caretaker of his son, who died last week.
The family is seeking Maher's release so he can attend his son's funeral.
ICE reportedly denied the request.
Unimaginable cruelty.

The Rapanui are some of the most ingenious, resilient people in the world. I hope this book allows the world to see that.
So basically it turns out that what doomed Rapa Nui was not the sort of resource drain / ecological devastation that took down the Maya (and which Diamond & co are only too eager to apply everywhere even without evidence), but simple colonialism
It’s Long Been Considered One of the Most Mysterious Places in the World. The Answer Was Hiding in Plain Sight.
Easter Island has long been misunderstood by the West. A new book by Mike Pitts sets the record straight.
