He/him. Calm on the outside. Museum developer, poet in my youth. Against fascism. Jaded but not disengaged. Appreciate why Titanic's band kept playing as the ship went down. Profile pic: Mo'ohtavetoo'o (Black Kettle), Southern Cheyenne peacemaker.
Yeah. I cannot understand why people with clout aren’t standing in front of the Capitol, or the White House, or marching every day. Every day. I will never understand that.

How in any sense of reality aren’t we 10+ months past a non violent removal?

Please..What needs to be done per history(reality) is never going to get done with these cowards. Those that have the power, the influence, the money and the correct gender are not doing what needs to be done. Period.

I understand why people are calling for strict nonviolence. I really do. And I think it's right in the long run.

Nevertheless, Team Trump's belief that no one will fight back adds a distinct kind of precariousness.

In the end, 600 colonists and at least 3,000 Nipmuck, Podunk, Narragansett, Nashaway, and Wampanoag people were killed. Metacom was one of them in 1676.

Colonists stuck Metacom's head on a pike above the Plymouth meeting house — where it would stare down over the village for the next 35 years.

In 1675, to resist the systematic takeover of Wampanoag lands, Massasoit's son Metacom — who had once taken the name 'King Philip' in honor of the positive relationship his father forged with the Pilgrims — led an armed pan-Indian force to drive out the colonists.

... of games and food. Wampanoag leader Massasoit and 90 of his men joined, bringing five deer they had killed.

Good relations wouldn't last. From 1657-1672, 70,000 English arrivals overwhelmed the Indigenous population (between 10,000 and 20,000), including the Wampanoag who numbered 1,000).
