In light of Jean Chrétien's most recent denialist comments - story to come, basically he downplays the harm of the IRS system - I went down the rabbit hole researching how far Indigenous leaders lobbied him, as Minister of Indian Affairs in the 1960s and 1970s, to close the system 🧵

⛓️CONCENTRATION CAMPS & INCINERATORS—D.H.S. is setting up a huge network of camps. They are converting the U.S. as a region for ‘expeditionary military deployment’ & no-bid no-public-comment contracts to build a “ghost network” of 10,000-person concentration camps. Jesus. Thread 🧵

a woman reached out to donate 500,000 delta skymiles to get people home to MN as they are released from custody in TX.
we're getting flights booked today. it should be enough to get at least 15 people home.
delta should be doing for free since they take ICE money.

For places trying to reckon with the new US there are two countries to listen to. Canada, because we see what's happening there with the most clarity. And Finland, because they know what to do about it.

I keep reading about how "Canada knew" about the American breakdown before everybody else. I just want to say I had a book out called "The Next Civil War" and absolutely everybody I spoke to about it began every conversation with "Aren't you being alarmist?" Nobody wanted to see it. So nobody did.

During colonization, churches snatched up a lot of sacred objects. In Utah, one of those objects was a 2,500 Ib rock covered in petroglyphs. The rock has been returned to its original resting place on the homelands of the Shoshone.

There have been no good reasons for staying on Twitter for years now, but at this point you will have to follow up any of your remaining excuses with “…and I don’t care about the child pornography.”
This does seem just a little bit bad! Idk the sort of thing you’d think politicians might distance themselves from or something!

A major sign of things getting dire in DC is when House members start breaking kayfabe like this. It's really, REALLY not fun to be a minority caucus member under a lame duck president. A cushy board seat or academic chairmanship sounds a LOT better and the race for the exits is obvious.
