this is fucking heartbreaking.

history will judge this. it won't be kind, and it shouldn't be. it's beyond sickening.

Sadly, it probably won't. Indigenous Americans have been fucked for the last several hundred years by European immigrants, and history still doesn't really "judge" that. That's not an American problem, of course, it's a universal problem - history is written by the victors

Sadly, it probably won't.

in my heart of hearts, i know you're right. even when i'm fed up and despondent beyond BEYOND, i can't shake the pollyanna tendencies; to be judged harshly would be the right and correct thing, and there doesn't seem to be much of either of those things right now.

i do hope you're right, about the visibility this has gotten and possible changes as a result. i really, truly do.

Reprehensible.

This is inhumane. This -

Morris recalled a protest at the end of the summer when police provided water to a thirsty protester attached to construction equipment.

- seems like a different lifetime.

..I hate that my first question is 'was that protester white?' and that it's a legit question as far as this is concerned X_X
