I'm going to be an asshole and say if you look up the Donner Party history through an indigenous lens it's less a tragedy and more a story of white colonialists getting what they deserved. Wel mel ti/ washoe oral history says they tried to feed them but they shot at them.
The Donner party tragedy, while obviously a tragedy, also ginned up sympathies for settlers in a time of westward colonialism and genocide of Native Americans.
Based on John Sinclair's journal, Dec 26, 1846 was the day starving members of the Donner Party chose "either to die, or preserve life by eating the bodies of the dead; slowly and reluctantly they adopted the latter alternative." t.co/L40lvPBopW

We have got to collectively help people understand that of course the local* cops are acting as an arm of the machine. That is their purpose.
People need to grow their minds & grieve what they've been conditioned to believe about cops being there to help/serve/protect.

"Violence has no place in politics" You think cutting off funding for food, education, housing and medical care isn't violent? You think arresting, jailing, deporting and killing people for the color of their skin isn't violent? Worms are in a lot of brains if you think violence isn't already here.

what’s extra crazy is that when someone dies 10 days is not enough!!!!!!!!! i was still mostly unconscious and planning a funeral after ten days. it’s insane we set work and life up this way
I am writing a news article on a new collective agreement for some workers in Calgary, and I noticed that they get up to 10 days of bereavement leave.
This is the most I have ever seen in a collective agreement, and I have read over 100 agreements.

Setting aside the content under the tarp for a moment, teens were asked to make art expressing what it is like to be a teen, and the end result was a mural wrapped in a tarp by adults.
I bet a lot of teens would find this expressive of their experience.
