It is worth remembering that the RICO charges brought up against #StopCopCity activists helped pave the way for this authoritarian govt trying to criminalize activists now. These attacks do not come from nowhere.

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars.

Watching the public comment for Houghton County’s meeting tonight.
Three arguments against the resolution, about how they lost a transgender kid, or want places to be more welcoming, or how it just doesn’t matter and it’s a distraction.

On one hand it’s nice to see people against stupid county resolutions (only “mal and female”, spelling error included), but wow no one can follow instructions. Whoever‘s in charge of Zoom also has no clue what they’re doing and the audio is almost unintelligible.

settler-colonial *is* a description. it helps us typologize colonial practices across history and see how they relate to each other. but by seeing history through that lens, one is led to the unavoidable conclusion that those practices are evil, and that they underlie injustices that continue today
