That’s not true. Especially following the decimation of the buffalo herds upon which so many plains tribes depended.

Nope, everything I told you I got from my history degree or from visiting actual reservations in the west several years ago.

Jane, you’re so bad at this. Just go read some books. There are many good ones out there waiting to enlighten you.

Nope, Jan. Wrong again. The diabetes is from malnutrition caused by the cruel reservation system. You love victim-blaming for sure. Face the painful truth of the past and its echoes in the present.

What are you talking about? That’s not the discussion here, and of course I am. The deplorable conditions on reservations today are the result of the devastation of colonialism and ideas like manifest destiny. I assume you’re also outraged about the high rates of diabetes in native women & children?

The British were also flooding China with opium at the same time for their own advantage.

Native Americans were familiar with alcohol in small doses for ceremonial purposes, but had no experience with hard spirits like whiskey and rum before the colonists introduced them in bad faith.

They knew enough. I don’t need urban myths Jan, I can read his own words about the subject.

Screenshot of different quotes from Amherst about getting rid of native Americans, including one suggesting sending blankets from a smallpox epidemic to natives in hope they would catch the disease and die

Um, Jan, who do you think got them hooked on alcohol? In order to gain an advantage in trade/land negotiations? Col. Jeffrey Amherst directed blankets contaminated with smallpox be given to natives so they’d catch the deadly disease. Educate yourself about the past as it was, not as you wish it was.

That CBS interview was run by welp, CBS. Let me explain. The far-right-wing in the United States has purchased CBS. In a world where far-right-wing media is collaborating to burn down Democrats, it's easy to see why this interview went so bad.

No, Mike, you’ve got a strategy, the Johnson/Epstein Shutdown. Keep the Epstein files buried no matter the cost.

Millions lose healthcare, lives on the line, even your voters. You’ve worked 9 days since July, make $200K, free healthcare.

It's your job to negotiate, do your damn job.

House Republicans would rather keep the government closed than release the Epstein files.👀
