A bill was passed in Jan. 2021 to redesign the Massachusetts state flag & seal due to elements in the original design that are offensive to many Native people. Years in, the commission tasked with offering a new flag says it needs another time extension.

On Nov. 29 1864, the Sand Creek massacre occurred when US troops attacked a peaceful gathering of Cheyenne and Arapaho people. They killed between 170-230 unarmed people, torturing them, then scalping and mutilating the victims. Children, women & elders were especially targeted.

Still nowhere near enough anesthetics are available in Gaza because Israel is deliberately choking off medical supplies in open violation of the ceasefire — forcing patients to undergo surgery without anesthesia. Author’s father says he entered the operating room with his brother, and “couldn't stay by his side for even a few minutes, after his screams reached beyond the hospital walls from the intensity of the pain of the amputation without local anesthesia.” 👇 Ali Abo Rezeg @ARezeg Translated from Arabic My uncle is diabetic, and the doctors at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis decided to amputate two of his fingers, My father went to his brother's side to comfort him, steady him, and support him through this operation, which circumstances dictated would be the epitome of cruelty and complexity, Not only because it involved amputating half of his hand, but because there is no anesthesia in Gaza's hospitals—yes, as you have read and heard, the most basic right of any patient in the world, My father says: I entered the operating room with my brother, and I couldn't stay by his head for even a few minutes, after his screams reached beyond the hospital walls from the intensity of the pain of the amputation without local anesthesia, And this is just a very, very small detail from Gaza's daily details, details of health and education and rain and shelter and food and drink and sleep and waking and work or unemployment, and a thousand other details…! t See new posts Conversation Ali Abo Rezeg @ARezeg عمي مريض بالسكر وقرر الأطباء في مستشفى ناصر في خانيونس قطع أصبعين اثنين من أصابع يده، ذهب والدي عند رأس أخيه حتى يصبره ويثبته ويعينه على هذه العملية، والتي شاءت الظروف أن تكون منتهى القسوة والتعقيد، ليس لأن هناك عملية بتر لنصف يده فحسب، ولكن لأنه لا يوجد مخدر في مستشفيات غزة، نعم، كما قرأت وسمعت، أدنى وأبسط حقوق أي مريض في العالم، يقول والدي: دخلت مع أخي لغرفة العمليات، ولم أستطع المكوث عند رأسه دقائق معدودة، بعد أن وصل صراخه خارج أسوار المستشفى من شدة ألم البتر دون تخدير موضعي، وهذه تفصيلة صغيرة جدا جدا من تفاصيل غزة اليومية، تفاصيل الصحة والتعليم والمطر والإيواء والطعام والشراب والنوم والاستيقاظ والعمل أو البطالة، وألف تفصيل آخر…!

All the non-Native people calling Thanksgiving a "complex holiday" are so annoying lmao. Just make your little Thanksgiving post, no need to be so performative.

It's National Day of Mourning, it's not "complex" if you're not Native

1/ ⚠️ Breaking: At CDC, we've been told the US Government will not officially commemorate World AIDS Day this year. No explanation given.
Photograph of a printed guidance memo stating that the U.S. Government will not be commemorating World AIDS Day this year. Key points include: USG funds should not be used for related events, personnel should refrain from public promotion via social media or other channels, and CDC and other USG staff may attend local events but cannot speak or promote attendance. The memo notes this guidance supersedes previous blanket approval and may require adjustments to planned activities.
