For post-colonial creoles like myself, there is a double alienation, one from the land—of which creoles have no relation to unlike Indigenous peoples—and then another alienation from our indigeneity as we identify with colonial/post-colonial projects (e.g. the Philippines).

wrt colonization and settlement, people become Indigenous when they become alienated from their land, in very much the same way people become proles/workers through alienation from their labor.

Land is never “just land.” A thing isn't never just a thing, it's always imbued with social relationships. That's the case with land. Would a plank of wood just be a fragment of a tree? Of course not; it's imbued with the crystallization of alienated labor and nature.

Indigeneity isn't a nationalist category (as Marxists exclaim) but a condition imposed by settler colonialism, much like proletarianization. The French aren't “indigenous” to Paris or Marseille. Land isn't merely a “mode of production,” but is also imbued by social relations.

They prefer to only look at his “opposition” to the Nazis, and that frustrates the FUCK out of me. The man was an unrepentant imperialist who contributed to the Bengal Famine and saw fascism as a potential bulwark against the radical left.

I see a Historian and delusional people have decided Churchill was against Fascism despite embracing Franco. Despite being mostly good with Mussolini. Despite his own actions and views having seeds of Fascism in them. He was not an Antifascist, not by then or today’s standards.

It also formalized the slavery you mentioned, I think it was Madison, one of them wrote a declaration condemning slavery in it but it never made it in because they were cowards and didn't want to loose southern support. Not only were they racist cocks, but also spineless ones.

And speaking of medical test subjects, more people need to be aware of the fucked-up things that J. Marion Sims did for which he got to be labelled as the so-called "father of gynecology".

Medical racism is a big reason why Black folks avoid the doctor. There are too many bad experiences with racist doctors & it develops distrust. Most of us have tales of medical racism. Then you get into community knowledge of all the times we were medical test subjects historically.

Maybe it's providing childcare they can't afford. Maybe it's money. Maybe it's protesting. We all have our things we can do, and it starts in our communities.

Maybe it's picking up prescriptions for your disabled or trans neighbors. Maybe it's being a buddy so a marginalized person doesn't have to go somewhere alone. Maybe it's being an escort at an abortion or gender affirming care clinic. Maybe it's making food for neighbors who can't make their own.

"So what do you suggest we do to fight Trump?"

Find people in your community who need help, and help them. We all have skills. Maybe it's giving rides to people who don't have cars. Maybe it's going to the grocery store so your immigrant or racialized neighbors don't have to when ICE is around.

Way too many people still think that whatever happens to people as a result of American imperialism abroad *cough Palestine Sudan Congo cough* is acceptable, fine even, not our problem, as long as the lesser evil wins in the United States.

And it's not. I'm sorry. It's just not.

The answer to "is Benjamin Netanyahu a war criminal?" is "yes, but he's also a genocider," and this should not be controversial.

ICE is recklessly throwing tear gas into our neighborhoods and busy streets, including near children at school and CPD officers.

The Trump Administration must stop their deployment of dangerous chemical weapons into the air of peaceful American communities.
