Y'all, "poor whites were getting beat up by rich whites" ain't an excuse for taking Native land.

It's a confession that we poor whites preferred to join rich whites in ganging up in Native people

even though we outnumbered those rich whites 100:1 or more.

There were times in US history when poor whites fled rich ones and joined forces with Native & Black people.

(If you need receipts, google "triracial isolates.")

There were times when this was so common that it was viewed as *ahem* a major risk to settler communities.

Why?

Just imagine what could have happened if poor whites had, say, joined forces with Native people to oppose western expansion of railroads, cattle barons, or slavery.

Indeed, I got a fair amount of nonsense from ppl who possess aggressive ignorance. I tried to help by tweeting links to BDS leaders publicly meeting with neo-Nazi groups, or on the way BDS social media groups have become hives of neo-Nazi hate—and freely allowed it to become so.

https://twitter.com/warpedmirrorpmb/status/1134642386263560193

Ppl have decided they will only see BDS as a speech issue, so they will ignore that the BDS movement, including organizing on US campuses, is HQ’d in Ramallah and members, steering committee & secretariat include US- and EU-designated terrorist groups.

I have some sympathy for ignorant activists who thought “BDS” just means “pressuring Israel.” But I have zero sympathy for such ppl when they then find out what BDS actually is and yet continue to defend it.

Poor Albania! THIRTY-FOUR moderate earthquakes in 6.5 hours! They are approaching the 5.0+ magnitude level; consequently, more people are submitting testimonies, thus: emsc-csem.org/Earthquake/ear… for the earthquake 4.9 mag earthquake. Note: Greece now experiencing many earthquakes.😮

A quick count, since the start of the day, June 1, reveals that Greece has experienced 28 mild-to-moderate earthquakes in less than 20 hours. This is very notable, and reflects my forecast of three weeks ago. If I lived there, I'd be preparing for, making "bug-out", escape plans.

Elsewhere in the world, the number of earthquakes today, June 1 2019, are as follows:

18 - Mexico
12 - Hawaii
11 - Indonesia
8 - Chile
6 - Peru
6 - Turkey
5 - Italy
5 - Nevada
3 - California

I’m going to be thinking a lot about @razorfemme’s thread about the generational divide around “freedom to” vs. “freedom from” for a long time.

It articulates something I’ve been struggling with, partly because I think we should be oriented toward what we are for — the freedom to — but that does have embedded in it being against things — freedom from.

The piece that I am especially interested in understanding better is around trauma — especially in light of @ThePurplePage’s incredible thread this morning — about how being oriented toward caring for our trauma can become a challenge for us personally but also our movements.

Just met you at #dpcc and forgot to tell you how much I loved the ending of Morning Star. I listened to the Audible recording (narrated by the MAGNIFICENT Tim Gerard Reynolds) in my car over the course of several months.

At the end of the book, the words

and in her arms" tell me what's about to happen. My eyes begin to get foggy. When the narrator says Mustang's final line, I say it with him, my voice trembling so hard, my eyes so full of tears that I have to pull over to the side of the road.

This is the first time I've ever laughed and cried at the same time. I cried happy tears when my oldest son was born; I laughed sadly with my cousins when we buried our grandmother. But I've never felt so pulled in two directions at once that I laughed and cried so hard.

Why political coverage is broken abc.net.au/news/2011-08-3… From 2011 and as relevant as ever. ‘Promoting journalists as insiders in front of the outsiders, the viewers, the electorate… this is a clue to what's broken about political coverage in the US and Australia.’ #auspol 1.

‘Part of the problem is how often the Australian press reframes politics as entertainment, seizing on trivial episodes that amuse or titillate and then blowing them up until they start to seem important.’ 2.

‘The advantage of politics-as-entertainment is that the main characters, the politicians themselves, work for free! The media doesn't have to pay them because taxpayers do. The sets are provided by the Government, the plots by the party leaders, backbenchers and spin doctors.’ 3.

Something bothers me about Jared Dearing, the KY Election Board Director (D) who filed the ethics complaint against @KySecofState (Alison Grimes, D), which provided the fodder for @JessicaHuseman's reporting & take down of Grimes. 1/

2/ When Dearing made the complaint against Grimes, the top two Democratic contenders for KY governor were Grimes & Andy Beshear whose father (then governor Steve Beshear) had pardoned Dearing's father in 2015. courier-journal.com/story/news/201…

3/ By joining with Republicans to take down Grimes, was Dearing returning a political favor to the Beshear family?

Alright, let's provide a bit of context to this article on Colorado - because these are stats you commonly see being cited by anti-legalisation folks! /1 abc.net.au/news/2019-06-0…

Cannabis Hyperemesis Syndrome (CHS) is totally a thing. We don't have any good numbers on prevalence, but it's generally considered "rare" or "very rare" and only an issue if you are a heavy, daily user of cannabis ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29327809 /2

Will legalisation increase ED visits for CHS? Absolutely. But how much of this is because of increased prevalence, and how much is because cannabis use is de-stigmatised through changes in law? There is no evidence legalisation has made CHS more common. /3

Dear The Economist: clueless is your headline. The Brazilian criminal justice system has been dominated since the 80's by an increasingly stronger "progresive" streak. The results:

1. Cops are demonized and criminals are glorified in the media, newspapers and popular culture

https://twitter.com/TheEconomist/status/1134960918851457024

2. Penal law has been diluted to a point where criminals stay in jail only 1/6 of their sentences, then go back to the streets. If the crime is considered heinous, it's 2/5. NO MATTER WHAT YOUR CRIMINAL RECORD IS OR HOW MANY TIMES YOU HAVE ESCAPED FROM JAIL BEFORE.

3. Inmates receive financial support ("auxílio-reclusão"), have sex with visitors ("intimate visits"), spend 7 annual holidays out of jail, deduct a fews days of sentence for each book "read" and enjoy ample and unrestricted access to cellphones. Most prisons are run by gangs.

➡️Military confirms use of SUPER SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM
theamericanreport.org/2019/05/22/mon…

3/➡️HAMR was used BEFORE Trump ran for @POTUS-they feared he & his dad for being anti-Communists while Obama, Comey & Brennan are-were implementing a Communist system in America.#NAZI
➡️HAMR connected to Comey's opening investigation into Russian collusion
Spied on Americans too.

It appears that former President Obama, the Democratic Party & their friendly media are currently damaging, even sabotaging, American Foreign Policy & the American People, & world peace prospects, in their game to protect the “Swamp” & Corruption of American politics. 2) #Swamp

Let’s look at three sets of facts:
1. Barack Obama is roaming the world telling leaders from Russia to Germany to Iran, to the Middle East, to China & to Latin America that they should stall for time, that they should prevent any changes,... 3) #Obama
