I need y'all to get it out of your heads that Indigenous societies were primitive and simplistic.
That's colonial thinking, perpetuated to justify the creation of the colonial state in order to "uplift" and "educate" Indigenous folks
It's pure BS

Nat Guard/DHS threw tear gas canisters and smoke grenades into the crowd. Protesters and media hit. Pellet rounds deployed. All to seemingly clear path for a convoy of DHS/Border Patrol vehicles. I got hit but fine after an eye rinse.

A Poison Tree by William Blake
I think on this poem lately that often it is easier to bottle up the ‘wrath’ - the anger and hurt we feel in life as we interact with people - even with friends, and in bottling it up even the ‘friend’ can end up with the fate of the ‘foe.’

We are right to be disappointed and frustrated with the state of the world.
The moral inversion we see is inexcusable. But Stoicism reminds us: don’t despair. Goodness isn’t gone—it’s within us. We fight back by living justly, acting with courage, and standing for what’s right.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind.
An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one."
The other said, "Take him anyway."
So they did.
