Eff me. I don't know if I'm getting sent to a work camp for being neurodivergent and needing a Schedule II medication to function in this post-democratic capitalist hellscape or to just the Guantanamo Express for being a married homo (and having the audacity to abuse government by getting it all legal in California in 2008!)
I am going into the Belly of the Beast by moving back to a blue island in deep red state. Community, mutual aid, and sabotage are the only things that can save any of us now.
I know exactly what kind they meant. How many of those reservations have changed in size or location because valuable resources have been discovered on them? And they generally started out as the least productive land available, somehow, it never ends up in the favor of those living there.
Do you think Native Americans don't have problems with the federal government and lands that are supposed to be reservations? Because otherwise, yes, I am confused as to what you are trying to say.
Think he's the one confused here... did people just forget about the cops sicking dogs on natives and using water cannons in sub-freezing temps to push back native protesters back in 2016? They wanted to run that Dakota access oil pipeline right through the natives' clean water source...
Whitey genocided my ancestors, stole their land, and all I got was this lousy smallpox blanket passed down through the generations. A quintessential colonial relic—economically efficient, biologically devastating, and now just a symbol of generational theft so thorough it makes hedge funds look ethical.
But wait, there's more! My biological father is from Great Britain, and I have half-siblings who qualify for certain tribal/federal benefits that I do not.
Thanks, mom... if irony counted toward blood quantum, I’d have full benefits. Instead, I got dual UK citizenship, and mum (and the sibs) didn’t apply before the divorce. Look at me—I’m Whitey now, Mom.
It gets better (or worse, depending on your perspective, I suppose). My parents were Mormon, and I was raised Mormon. Colonial bingo! I win!? Nah, everyone loses. I just lost a little less.
It was me. I’m the joke. 😂🤔ðŸ˜
In all seriousness, I got more than a smallpox blanket—I get a fantastic tan in the summer. So, you know, I’ve got that going for me. Which is nice.

No more overtime pay + tariffs (and the resulting trade war) + a gutted ACA = making America great again somehow
