Let me break it down for y’all;
Killing babies and children = No more future generations
Killing women and pregnant women = No more future generations
Killing men= No more future generations
Killing the elderly = Erasing history and culture for future generations
Killing journalists = No news coverage of what’s really happening so the opposing side can push propaganda.
Open your eyes the Palestinians that do survive this if a ceasefire doesn’t come will lose their culture and identity because Israel will force them to assimilate to whatever sick and twisted ideology they want. This is a genocide! The Palestinian genocide is directly mirroring the Native American genocide. Keep talking about Palestine, it’s a privilege you get to scroll away from dead children and adults.

It really speaks of the lack of critical thinking, the lack of understanding, the lack of imagination, the lack of many things that when you criticize Joe Biden, you are met with fearful liberals crying "what about Trump?! Do you want him to win!" As if any of us want that.
However, what the rest of us understand, is that there are options. There have always been options, but you have allowed the empire to cloud your mind and make you think their solutions, their poison is the only solution.

I was watching this yesterday and soon found myself going insane because, during the last 6 months, I've heard ALL THE TALKING POINTS this Stefan Molyneux says about the Native American genocide, but in relation to Gaza.
Srsly... There's the "they aren't all dead so it couldn't be genocide", "it's the rules of war and civilian casualties can't be avoided", "the government isn't responsible for what their army does" and ALL THE REST. ASdfgj<lvö

I want to share this photo because I don't think a single day goes by that I don't think of it at least once.
Those are all the skulls of American Bison. They were killed not for food, not for resources*, not for sport. They were killed as a part of Native American genocide—to deny indigenous people their primary source of food. Starvation is a weapon often used to enact genocide—and the way it is done here is particularly heinous in the way it nearly sent an entire species to extinction in the process.
Here and here are articles with more details + the image credits.
*resources from the bison were gathered and sold, but it was not the intention of the mass slaughter, and there are many instances where bison corpses were left to rot

What should have been
(CW: Anti-Indigenous themes mention, racism, genocide)
This is basically a ramble about the effects of how my grandmother did not grow up in the Ponca Tribe of Oklahoma
We're doing a weaving project in my art class and I'm feeling this emotion that I can't describe-
It's a positive emotion, I know that, it comes whenever I'm beading, smudging, learning Ponca, or at Pow-Wow's.
I can only describe this emotion as a mix of euphoria and feeling like I'm floating.
Is this emotion positivity? Joy? Or happiness that I'm reconnecting with something that was stolen from me.
My grandmother and her brother, my uncle, could have grown up in the Ponca Tribe, could have been adopted by a family in the tribe, yet my grandmother was born a year before ICWA was passed, and my uncle two years before ICWA was passed, so they were adopted by a white family. They were a good family from what I heard, but that doesn't change that we were robbed from growing up in the Ponca Tribe, our tribe, our family.
My grandmother and uncle wouldn't know about their biological family until around 2018, when I was eleven.
My grandmother and my mother took DNA tests, and that's how we found out.
My grandmother had a Ponca father, and a white mother, and many siblings and cousins, all of whom were still alive.
We would be able to meet up with them, although my uncle only met them via video call.
At first, I thought this was normal, didn't think anything of it.
I realize now exactly how much was stolen from me.
I should have grown up with my culture. I should have been beading, and weaving, and learning the language, and attending Sundance, and going to Pow-Wow's, yet I didn't.
When I attended Sundance last year, I ended up crying. How couldn't I cry? After all, I was doing something I should have been doing my whole life.
I should be able to enroll in the Tribe, yet I can't, neither can my mother, because of blood quantums. My grandfather is a white man, so is my father. Although the elders are discussing letting people of lineal descent enroll.
... Then there's this other side of me.
Every time I wear my ribbon skirt, or smudge, I have this voice in my head, it says to me "You will never be indigenous enough. Look at your skin, you're too white, Rian. Your name is also too white. And look at your hair! You have your father's hair, and he's white! And that ribbon skirt, it's just cosplay! And you only bead because you just like the colors and textures!"
Would I still have that voice if I had grown up with my culture? Definitely not, this voice is the result of having the life I could have lived stolen from me.
The white people, the land stealers, they wanted the Indigenous Americans gone, so they took our children and tried to force us to be like them.
Of course, they failed.
... They can try to apologize for the things they done, but no amount of apologizing will change the fact that they stole from us, and how we are still digging up the bodies of children at residential schools.
When they say "America is the land of the free!" Don't forget the Indigenous Americans, and how we're still being oppressed, and never forget how what the white people did still affects the children that didn't grow up in their culture, and how it affects their children, and their grandchildren.
And don't forget, the genocide of Indigenous Americans is still going on.

I wish people would stop using nazism to measure how bad a thing is. Cruelty has existed for WAY before nazis existed, things like the spanish inquisition or the genocide of native americans happened before the holocaust did. By this I don't mean to say that "the holocaust wasn't that bad" bullshit antisemitic people spit, I mean that maybe people -especially gentiles- should leave the nazi comparisons alone??? Maybe?? Perhaps even understand that something can and will be terrible without saying "oh, this is just like the holocaust."
I'm sick of people comparing things to nazism to show how bad or good something is. Sure, there's a lot of things you can trace down to nazis, like eugenics, but a bad thing can exist on its own and still be terrible without being tied to nazis.
I don't know if I explained myself correctly, but yeah.

I will truly never have any earthly understanding on why it takes white people so long to listen and believe the issues and horrors brown people and our communities go through on the daily at the hands of colonization. It’s not until another white person tells them to care that suddenly they’re on board.

Is the ethnic cleansing of Gaza ringing pretty close to the extermination of Native American people or is that just me?

Wiser Voices Than Mine Speak Truth
I have written a few times about the current attempts to ‘dumbify’ the next generation of Americans by governors, school boards and others whitewashing, covering up, and downright lying about the history of this nation.  But nobody says it better than Dan Rather & Elliot Kirschner, so here is their take … Teach The Truth Ominous lessons from Florida By Dan Rather and Elliot Kirschner 22 July…

With the liberation of Palestine, every other group oppressed and suffering from genocide will be free as well. Recognize the genocides and look for freedom.
Free Armenia (genocides perpetrated by the Ottomans and the current occupation of Nagorno-Karabakh)
Free Sudan (mass rapes and murders are occurring there by the hand of the RSF. Sudan has the biggest displacement crisis in the world with +9 million people displaced)
Free Western Sahara (abandoned by the Spanish State in 1975, who is responsible for the celebration of the referendum of independence that has been frozen for over 50 years, currently occupied by the Alawite government of Morocco)
Free Congo (children forced to extract metals used for electronic devices in terrible conditions alongside mass displacement and violence. (DON´T BUY NEW PHONES YOURS IS FINE. QUIT VAPING AND IF YOU CAN´T, REUSE THEM)
Free the American Natives (Landback!!)
Free Ukraine (Holomodor and Russian aggression)
Uyghur genocide (People´s Republic of China sending native inhabitants to concentration camps and re-education camps)
This is by no means a comprehensive list, please add more to this in the reblogs.
CONDEMN THE STATES AND COLONIES OF FRANCE, THE USA, UK, GERMANY, SPAIN, JAPAN AND RUSSIA FOR THEIR CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY. DEMAND RESPONSIBILITY AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF GENOCIDES.
