Oh. I see. We're dealing with a bad faith actor. Ok. well, they're going wherever they want to go, including staying in the US. And if you don't want to stay here on an equal basis, then that's on you. Leave. Go wherever they take you.

One in which the settlers are considered immigrants, and the legal relationship is one of equality based on respecting the Indigenous culture's way of life. Kind of like how you wouldn't move to Japan and then force them to be "American" or "Catholic"

Their truth will be exposed to the entire world once the hostages are released. For two years they lied, calling it “self-defense” and “rescuing hostages,” while in reality they carried out a cold-blooded genocide against an unarmed people.

It wasn't the genocide that freed the hostages.

It was a ceasefire deal.

Because the genocide was never about the hostages, no matter how much Netanyahu and his band of fucking fascists claim victory.

I'm not saying you're a racist. I think you're sincere, but your intellectual laziness is tiresome.

"Tribal Sovereignty" is when Elbit systems surveils every square inch of your reservation. "Tribal sovereignty" is when Congress limits the market for your houses to 3300 people, meaning your inevitably under water on your house. Indigenous Americans couldn't run for president until 1924...

Trump has been illegally bombing boats off the coast of Venezuela.

Tim Kaine and Adam Schiff forced a vote on reasserting Congress's role over war powers and ending this reckless
warmongering.

It failed 48-51.

Murkowski and Paul voted yes.

Fetterman voted no.

That's why we've had so many Iroquois, Navajo, Lakota, Oholone, Tohono O'odham, Nez Perce, Ute, Tewa, Hopi, Pauite, Shoshone, Tongva and Cherokee presidents, and so many African presidents too.

It has to do with who is legally privileged and who isn't not the country only being composed of one ethnicity. In fact, multi-ethnicity is a core feature of an ethnostate. It has to do with who the "state" is conceived for. The United States is an ethnostate. And Sioux land is land, not a state.

European Jews' DNA originates in the Caucasus. Yemeni and Ethiopian Jews are deeply discriminated against in Israel. Palestinians are fully Semitic people.

Sheila @sheilagreenfield.bsky.social · 7h

Some Palestinians and all Jews are indigenous to the Levant, and that's why there should be 2 states.

Now, a dispersal warning from Broadview PD.

The officer tells protesters they have 2 minutes to leave the area or they'll receive citations.

Simultaneously, folks have been watching this large bus repeatedly try to pull into the detention center. No idea who's on it.

On this day in 1763, due in part to Pontiac's resistance, the King of Britain issued the Royal Proclamation placing certain limits on westward colonial expansion in North America. This enraged proto-Americans and was one of the causes of the American Revolution (freedom to colonize more quickly).

You shouldn't underestimate the government's intent on following thru on these operations. That's why lawyers saying things like "Trump can't do that! The law doesn't allow it!" is so dangerous.

Plenty of examples to pull from: 40s-50s red scare, COINTELPRO, cold war COIN, post 9/11 "anti-terror"

For years, local governments & police departments have cooperated with federal agencies through the Joint Terrorism Task Forces. Now, through Trump's new NPSM-7 directive, these task forces will focus on “leftist” groups.

History shows us what happens when our movements are targeted by the feds.

In NSPM-7, “Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence,” President Trump directs the Justice Department, the FBI, and other national security agencies and departments to fight his version of political violence in America, retooling a network of Joint Terrorism Task Forces to focus on “leftist” political violence in America. This vast counterterrorism army, made up of federal, state, and local agents would, as Trump aide Stephen Miller said, form “the central hub of that effort.”

NSPM-7 directs a new national strategy to “disrupt” any individual or groups “that foment political violence,” including “before they result in violent political acts.”

Reminder that "criminal" is a meaningless category.

Some of the best people I've ever known have been "criminals" and "felons."

Donald Trump is a shitheel because he's a lying white supremacist queerphobic ableist neo-confederate scumbag, not because he's a criminal.

Bluesky’s Trust & Safety team has somehow managed to become more restrictive & hostile towards marginalized people than a platform owned by a literal neonazi.
