They supposedly ended it by ***checks notes** massacring, raping, and enslaving women and children. But they did it very Christianly.

Today the USA is celebrating Thanksgiving. Some mark the day as the National Day of Mourning.

Thanksgiving is a celebration of forced contact & the destruction of Indigenous peoples.

Right now, half the world's 196 uncontacted Indigenous groups are facing similar threats.
Today the USA is celebrating Thanksgiving. It’s a celebration of forced contact and the destruction of Indigenous peoples... #AtTheEdge Millions of Indigenous people have died as a result of the colonization of the USA. A combination of violence, disease and anti-Indigenous policy has been genocidal. #AtTheEdge Uncontacted Indigenous peoples around the world are facing the same dangers. Image of an uncontacted Hongana Manyawa person shooting an arrow at the camera. #AtTheEdge If those in power don’t act, half of the world’s uncontacted peoples could be wiped out in 10 years. #AtTheEdge Background image shows, from a birdseye view, houses made by uncontacted peoples. They are visible as well, looking up at the camera. Their facial features aren't visible.

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.

Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

a key thing about vought — and all of these guys — is that they have a totally top down and hierarchical vision of the world. they believe that the cultural changes they hate can be turned off by destroying the federal government because they can’t imagine that they emerged bottom-up in society

What he’s railing against is a profound shift in culture, status… He’s obsessed with the idea that America is controlled by a leftist “ruling elite” - but “elite” isn’t defined socio-economically or by political power, it means something like: Getting to define “real America” and who gets to belong.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

I'm starting to look into how inflammation is being misused by MAHA types in a way that very much distracts from chronic illness-inflammation problems people actually have. If you're an academic, doctor, immunologist etc with thoughts on this, please be in touch at jmetraux@motherjones.com

Fighting for freedom is an American tradition.
Fighting for freedom is an American tradition. Judy Heumann led the 504 sit-in in 1977 with support from activists like Brad Lomax and the Black Panthers, forcing the U.S. to recognize Disabled rights as civil rights. And the fight continues. Today, July 4th, 2025, the "Big Beautiful Bill" was signed into law-despite protests in D.C. by Disabled Americans as it threatens the care and independence they've fought to protect. Black and white photo of two Disabled activists at the 504 Sit-in: Brad Lomax, a Black man, and Judy Heumann, a white woman. Both use wheelchairs and are speaking into microphones at an outdoor protest or rally. Brad is smiling and holding a microphone, wearing a suit. Judy is looking at him with a smile, wearing glasses and a knit dress. Behind them are leafy trees and a tall streetlamp. Text at the bottom reads: “Photo by HolLyn D’Lil.”
